About Priest Landing
Directions to Priest Landing Launch Site Follow Diamond Causeway onto Skidaway Island, proceed through two traffic lights, and then get in the left lane. Take the next left (at the four-way stop) onto McWhorter Drive and proceed north, passing underneath a golf-cart bridge in approximately one and one-half miles. In another six-tenths of a mile the road forks; bear right onto OSCA Road and follow it approximately one mile to the bank of the Wilmington River. Park here along the side of the road (at no charge). When parking, be careful not to obstruct the paved driveway to the right, which provides access to a dock owned by the State of Georgia.

About Skidaway Island State Park
Located near historic Savannah, this park borders Skidaway narrows, a part of Georgia’s intracoastal waterway. Trails wind through maritime forest and past salt marsh, leading to a boardwalk and observation tower. Visitors can watch for deer, fiddler crabs, raccoon, egrets and other wildlife. Inside the park’s interpretive center, birders will find binoculars, reference books and a window where they can look for migrating species such as Painted Buntings. Children will especially enjoy seeing the towering, 20-foot Giant Ground Sloth replica and reptile room.

A scenic campground is nestled under live oaks and Spanish moss, and some RV sites have sewer hookups. Leashed pets are allowed. Groups can enjoy privacy in their own pioneer campgrounds. Open-air picnic shelters and an enclosed group shelter are popular spots for parties, reunions and other celebrations. For cooling off during summer, Tybee Island's beaches are less than an hour away.

The park’s camper cabins offer screened porches, air conditioning, a bathroom with shower, kitchen, master bedroom and kids’ sleeping loft. Guests bring their own linens, towels, dishes and cooking utensils. Outside, visitors will find a picnic table, grill and fire ring. Pets are not allowed in camper cabins but are allowed in campsites. From Skidaway Island State Parkwebpage
