About Cumberland Island National Seashore Camping

A public or specialty campground in St. Marys with nearby trails.

Cumberland Island National Seashore Camping offers one of Georgia’s most unforgettable camping experiences, reached by ferry from St. Marys and shaped by dunes, maritime forest, wild horses, and undeveloped Atlantic shoreline. Camping here feels more adventurous than a typical drive-up campground, with visitors planning carefully for transportation, supplies, and island conditions. The reward is rare coastal solitude: quiet beaches, historic ruins, shaded trails, and nights spent close to the natural rhythms of the island. For campers who want a true destination experience, Cumberland Island is in a class of its own.
