After camping in well over 100 different locations in approximately 40 states, and most of them for just a short time, it is hard to name a favorite campsite. But I can name the one that is the most photogenic. Red Gate Farms in Savannah, Georgia wins, hands down.
Want history? It was once both a Confederate encampment and a resting place for some of General Sherman’s men when they finished the “march to the sea” in December 1864, when he presented the city as a “Christmas present” to Abraham Lincoln after the infamous “march to the sea” from Atlanta.
Want charm? Until recently, this was a dairy, and still offers horseback riding and features friendly goats. But all of the buildings have been re-done and modernized as a wedding venue. As you can see, there are spectacular background settings for photos. A privately-owned house and the former barn and granary are now all state of the art wedding or reception venues. The RV Park is an add-on to the whole location.
The pictures below were all taken either from our RV site or from walks around the property.
How’s THIS for a campground site? 
Morning view from our campsite. 
There are several ponds surrounding the grounds, all with catch and release fishing. 
Or just sit on the dock and enjoy the view. 
Spanish moss hanging from the trees lends a distinctly Southern look to the place. 
The next picture was at the end of this trail… 
Taken at dusk with a wedding celebration happening in the back yard. 
“Hurry back, y’all. We’ll be waitin’ for ya.”
