Meet Your Hosts
Welcome to KOA Savannah South! Our park was opened in 1973 and remains one of the oldest KOA franchises that is still managed by the same owner/operator family. I've had the personal joy of growing up at this KOA -- now an even better joy in being its day-to-day General Manager. We hope you enjoy your stay with us whether you are on your way from one place to another, or you have decided to stay and visit Savannah for awhile. If you just want to camp and relax with us, there is still plenty to do on our park. We try to be as accommodating as possible! Again, welcome to our park -- we can't wait to see you!
