When planning your first visit to Savannah, GA, you're in for a treat. This charming Southern city is known for its historic architecture, lush public squares, and vibrant culture. But before you dive into the heart of Savannah, consider a more tranquil start to your journey. Begin your adventure in Sylvania, GA, by staying at Camp Sylvania, located conveniently near Statesboro, GA. Not only does this provide a peaceful retreat, but it also offers easy access to Savannah's wonders while ensuring you experience some of Georgia's lesser-known gems.

Day 1: Arrival at Camp Sylvania and Exploring Sylvania, GA

Your Savannah adventure starts with a stay at Camp Sylvania. This premier RV park, nestled in the scenic southeastern Georgia landscape, offers the perfect blend of relaxation and recreation. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast or seeking a peaceful retreat, this park has something for everyone.

After settling in, take some time to explore the nearby town of Sylvania. Known for its small-town charm and friendly locals, Sylvania is the perfect introduction to Southern hospitality. Visit the Sylvania Downtown Historic District, where you can stroll through streets lined with historic buildings, quaint shops, and local eateries.

For nature lovers, a trip to George L. Smith State Park is a must. Just a short drive from the RV park, this park is renowned for its picturesque mill pond, hiking trails, and serene waterways. Canoeing, kayaking, and fishing are popular activities here, and the peaceful atmosphere sets the tone for your Savannah adventure.

Day 2: Savannah's Historic District and River Street

On your second day, head into Savannah's historic heart. Start your day with a walk through Forsyth Park, the city's largest green space. This iconic park is famous for its stunning fountain and oak trees draped in Spanish moss. It's the perfect spot for a morning stroll or picnic.

Next, explore the Savannah Historic District, where cobblestone streets lead you past beautifully preserved antebellum homes, historic churches, and lush squares. Stop by the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace, the founder of the Girl Scouts, and learn about Savannah's rich history.

For lunch, head to River Street, where you can dine at one of the many restaurants overlooking the Savannah River. Afterward, explore the shops, galleries, and historic landmarks along this bustling waterfront. Don't miss the chance to take a riverboat cruise, offering a unique perspective of Savannah's skyline and its role in the Civil War.

Day 3: Tybee Island and the Atlantic Ocean

No visit to Savannah is complete without a trip to Tybee Island. Located just 20 minutes from downtown Savannah, Tybee Island is a popular destination for beachgoers and nature enthusiasts. Spend your day lounging on the sandy shores, swimming in the Atlantic Ocean, or exploring the island's natural beauty.

Visit the Tybee Island Light Station and Museum, Georgia's oldest and tallest lighthouse, for breathtaking views of the coastline. If you're a fan of marine life, check out the Tybee Island Marine Science Center, where you can learn about the local ecosystems and wildlife.

Day 4: Art, Culture, and Southern Cuisine in Savannah

Return to Savannah for a day of art and culture. Start with a visit to the Telfair Museums, which includes three distinct sites: the Telfair Academy, the Jepson Center for the Arts, and the Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters. These museums offer a glimpse into Savannah's art, history, and architecture.

Afterward, take a walk down Broughton Street, known for its eclectic mix of shops, boutiques, and cafes. This is a great spot to pick up souvenirs or enjoy a cup of coffee while people-watching.

For lunch, indulge in some authentic Southern cuisine at Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room or The Grey, both renowned for their delicious takes on classic Southern dishes.

In the afternoon, explore the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), one of the country's leading art schools. The SCAD Museum of Art features contemporary art exhibitions and is a great way to experience Savannah's modern creative scene.

End your day with a ghost tour. Savannah is often called one of America's most haunted cities, and a guided tour through its historic streets at night will reveal some of its spookiest stories and locations.

Day 5: Fort Pulaski National Monument and Bonaventure Cemetery

On your final day, take a short drive to Fort Pulaski National Monument. This historic fort played a significant role in the Civil War and is now a well-preserved site where you can learn about military history and enjoy scenic views of the surrounding marshlands.

After exploring the fort, head to Bonaventure Cemetery, one of Savannah's most famous cemeteries. Known for its haunting beauty, Bonaventure is a peaceful place to reflect on your journey and take in the grandeur of Savannah's past.

Before heading back to Camp Sylvania, treat yourself to a farewell dinner at one of Savannah's fine dining establishments, such as The Olde Pink House or Elizabeth on 37th. Both restaurants offer a blend of history and exquisite cuisine, providing the perfect ending to your Savannah adventure.
