Blythe Island Regional Park Campground, Blythe Island, Georgia
Marc- Today we left Florida as Sue drove our rig off the barrier islands to Route 95 to Georgia. We saw two wild boars (pigs) feeding on grass alongside Route 95. We met wild rabbits (very friendly) on arrival to the campground at Blythe Island. This park is open year round and the campers must be feeding them. The campsites are nestled in tall pine trees near two man made ponds and along the shore of the South Cumberland River. Facilities include a marina, swimming beach as well as hiking and biking trails.
We had a little time to explore, and began by driving over to St. Simons Island. We passed a huge Georgia Pacific Pulp and Paper operation in nearby Brunswick and a large marina near the downtown. The highlight was St. Simons Village with its imposing lighthouse. Sue and I walked around the town pier, shops, restaurants and parks and were impressed by how alive and well everything was. Large live oaks were everywhere. There is a lot of public space here and even the library is situated on the waterfront.
