We spent a couple nights at
South Newport Campground in Georgia on our way north. This was a small private campground with a very polite and friendly hostess. It felt like the most narrow site we've been on due to a tree that forced us right up on our neighbor...it might have been about the same as our site at
Orlando Thousand Trails. We had full hookups and the price and location were right, definitely a good choice if you need an overnight stop on I-95.

Coronavirus effects followed us here...out of an abundance of caution, our hostess did not come out to greet us, but did call after she saw us park to check in and make sure everything was okay. She had watched us come in from her window and I had the distinct impression she would have walked on over to greet us in person had the situation been different. We dropped our payment in a secured drop box so that we didn't have to physically interact with anyone.
We took a short drive to the nearby
Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge. It has a nice drive-through trail, which was excellent because the bugs were unreal in this area. We attempted one hiking trail and quickly decided we wouldn't attempt any more because of the bugs...we did see a rookery, which was cool, but that was quickly followed by an alligator IN OUR PATH...even though we were about 3/4 complete with the overall trail, we just couldn't stomach walking past his nose (we would have had to pass within about 5 feet of him), and he didn't want to budge even with our presence, so we turned around and headed back the way we came.

That grass is the hiking trail...I was too nervous to spend
any more time getting a clear photo! |
