The employees and camp hosts are friendly and helpful. There is lots of trails and wildlife to enjoy. Anytime we have had issues, they are promptly addressed and rectified. The only slight drawback is the paper mill stench. It can be quite awful at times. Oh! And the noseeum's. Bring bug spray! We regularly visit Savannah, Jacksonville, St Simons, Jekyll Island, Amelia Island and Okefenokee National Park while staying here. Brunswick has all the necessities you would need and is a nice town. Husband always visits the Pinball Palace! Highly recommend staying a while and really exploring the beauty of this area.

Looking for a quiet place to park the van that was near water and close enough to the Interstate…read morethat I would get LTE coverage, I found it here at Blythe Island. Transients like me and longer term stays are available in the campground. There's just something about being waterside that I find helpful for my mood and my productivity, I was here for about two hours for phone calls and emails, sitting in the van and listening to the quiet lapping of the shore. There are activities here including picnic shelters, a playground, a fishing pier and a boat launch with crane. I was able to watch them pull a boat in with the crane and load it onto a trailer. Very cool and clever. [Review 19929 overall - 616 in Georgia - 902 of 2023.]

I never knew any of the history that we stumbled upon here!…read more First of all, the building is nicely done with great museum like displays and a cute gift shop. There was also an extremely knowledgeable person inside who gave us a ton of info about the history and the fort. We then ventured outside (bug spray may be a good idea here!) and looked at the various spots with info and the history of the butcher, baker, candlestick maker as well as the other jobs around the fort. The actual building ruins are interesting and picturesque by the water. You could easily spend a while here meandering and learning. 100% worth a visit if you are nearby!

The Council of the Royal Colony of Georgia laid out the city of Brunswick in 1771. The concept for…read morethe city utilized the Oglethorpe Plan, named after the colony's founder, General James Edward Oglethorpe. The design featured 14 large and small squares spaced evenly among residential and commercial land lots. These park-like areas were to be deeded to the people of the city in perpetuity, never to be sold or developed. Over the centuries, a number of the squares of Brunswick have been sold, encroached upon or developed for civic or private purposes. Queen Square, named in honor of the queens of England, is the only true square in Brunswick located within the downtown commercial district. The square has a memorial to Columbia Downing Jr, who joined the Union Army as a bugler in 1862 and moved to Brunswick in 1881. When the First National Bank of Brunswick was organized in February 1884, he became its first president. Col. Downing was well known for his philanthropy as well as his financial accomplishments. To honor his contributions to the prosperity of the city, a monument bench with his portrait, rendered in bronze, is located in Queen Square Northwest. The northern half of Queen Square is used as community green space. There, visitors find a stone Celtic cross monument to colonial founder, General James Edward Oglethorpe. He was well known in England for his vigorous reform in 1729 of the country's inhumane treatment of prisoners, many of whom were incarcerated for simple debts. His vision for the colony of Georgia was a fresh start for "the worthy poor," offering them a chance to own their land and escape poverty at home.
