Cecil Bay RV Park - Cecil, GA

It was a short drive to Cecil. (around 3 hours) It was again not our first choice as that one was full so here we are! There are virtually no amenities here, so pretty basic. It's close to the interstate so a bit noisy and the loudest train horn we have heard at any of the previous parks. We run a fan and a sound machine for noise canceling, but both can still be heard. I actually like the train sound.

It's the kind of park that is perfect for a quick stopover or just to use as a base for touring the area, but if a family came here for their vacation they might be disappointed.

 doesn't the pool look inviting?
 I know it's not pool season, but this one looks like it hasn't had a season in quite some time......



 our spot
 we came home on our first day here and the little shed was gone?!?
 banquet area and bathrooms/showers on the other side
 bathrooms and showers on this side

Tomorrow we are headed to a state park for some birding.

  1. I enjoy seeing the types of RV parks you guys run into. The sign says "clubhouse". That must be terrific! LOL Hey they have 50 amp service and using it for a base of operations, who cares. How much do they get a night for a site like this?

  2. Yes, the "club house". The door is locked and the brochure said it can be rented for private functions. Yep, 50 amp service and better dish service than the last park. Water is drinkable. Every place has it's pros and cons.

    Rates depend on several factors. High Season vs Low Season. How many nights you stay and of course resorts vs parks. There are also RV "clubs" that you can join for discounts. You may have noticed "the Good Sam" discount signs. There are several others as well. Usually, one use pays for the membership. You pay more for 1 night vs staying a week. Staying a full months saves even more.

    This park is around $28 per night (less than $180 for a week). $40 to $50 per night for ones with amenities. In season, resorts can be $100 or more per night.

    We haven't stayed in any State Parks yet, but they can be as low as $5 to $15 per night. We also have not done any "boondocking" on Public Lands where you can dry camp for free. Over time, I imagine we will try out various options.
