Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Fort Pulaski National Monument adventure.
This massive fort is more than a Civil War monument—it's also an intriguing look at the effects of changing military technology. If you love engineering and tech, you'll find the tour here fascinating. Take a look at how the fort was built and how new Union inventions overcame its sheer size. Keep your eyes open for a cannonball embedded in the masonry walls. The buildings and the grounds are all beautifully preserved, and there's a lot to view and to learn about.
Yes, there's a self-guided tour, and all the signage helps you really understand what you're seeing and why it matters. But the guided tours are the real gem here. The tour guides really know their stuff.
Located right on the Savannah River, this fort offers some serious views of the river and marshland around it. Yes, you can take your dog for a walk here, but be prepared for extremely warm weather. While there's no camping available on Tybee Island itself, you can find plenty of spots for camping, glamping, and RVs at farms, retreat centers, and beaches all around Savannah.
