Park (912) 727-2339
Located on the bank of the Great Ogeechee River south of
Savannah, this park is the home of the best preserved earthwork
fortification of the Confederacy. The sand and mud earthworks were
attacked seven times by Union ironclads, but did not fall until captured
in 1864 by Gen. William T. Sherman during his infamous “March to the
Sea.” Nestled among giant live oaks and beautiful salt marsh, this park
is a quiet location for camping, hiking, fishing and picnicking. The
park’s Civil War museum features an interior designed to resemble a
bombproof, containing exhibits and artifacts, a video and gift shop.
Three cottages sit on stilts at the marsh edge, surrounded by palm trees
and palmettos. The campground is bordered by tidal Redbird Creek, a boat
ramp and nature trail.
