Stopped at Lotts Island RV Park on 3/21/2017 on our way home from Florida. The office was closed so we picked an empty site and set up. After we were completely set up, a young man in a MWR t-shirt arrived and informed us that we could only stay if we had a reservation and that they were not accepting reservations. He stated this was because workers were supposed to come and address the stumps of trees that were blown down by Hurricane Mathew five months previously. When I inquired as to why other campers were allowed to stay, he stated that they were there "before". Since it was obvious that the other units looked like they had been there awhile, I asked who they were and he replied "contractors". Who are these people and what gives them precedence over retired military? As it was late in the afternoon and we were already set up and had put our check in the drop box, we came to an agreement that we would address the situation the next morning. At 8am the following morning, the camp director, Chase Howell POUNDED on our camper door. He informed us that we could not stay there without a reservation. When asked how to get reservation, he replied we couldn't and threatened to call the MPs if we didn't leave. We elected to speak to the MPs and they agreed that regardless of all the empty sites, we couldn't stay without a reservation. The MWR campground website does not state that the campground is closed or that reservations are required. It even states that civilians are welcome space available. The guards at the entrance gate next to the campground did not say anything either. As another retiree was asked to leave also, this was not just an isolated event. As you can ascertain by the previous reviews, this situation has been on going since at least 2013. We have been traveling the last four years and have stayed in military campgrounds all over this country. We have always been treated fairly and with respect. This place treated a 36 year veteran like a criminal.

Nice... not really. Practical... yes. Cost effective... yes. Gravel sites, dirt road. LOTS of mud and ruts. Almost impossible with a 40ft rig to make immediate left turn onto road after coming through gate. Camp host, Nathan, very helpful and keeps grounds as nice as he can with what little he has to do it with I'm sure. Full h/u. Sewer sets to rear. We reached it with 2 sections, but 3 would be better. Lots of mud. Old sites, not well maintained as far as amenities go, but tidy thanks to Nathan. Noisy. Lots of traffic near by. Lots of stores, food near by. PX/comm accessible, 20 min from campsite. Typical old run down Army outdoor rec. Easy check in. No bath house. Laundry on post, not on site. Easy access to Local sites. Great for cost effective short stay. Ample cell coverage for ATT.

We chose to come to Lotts Island RV Park since it was so close to Savannah GA. I think this was a mistake and I should have turned off at Ft Stewart instead. We called the day before arriving to see if they had anything available. Mike told us he'd have to check with the woman who worked there and that he would call us back since she had to make a trip to the RV park to check what was open. I guess their "books" are inaccurate. WE made 3 more calls to no avail and Mike NEVER returned our calls. Since Mike "thought" there was a site open, we gambled and headed to Lotts Island to see the following day. After arriving, we pulled into the RV park and unhooked to go over to the MWR office since it's a long trek. Good thing we did unhook since the parking lot at the MWR office is not RV friendly with gravel road and lots of potholes. When we checked in, they still weren't sure if they had space. We finally got a slot for 2 nights, but NO information is provided from the staff unless you know what to ask for. We forgot to ask if there was a wifi password, our mistake. After getting back to the RV park and trying to connect to the wifi, it REQUIRED a password. I called back to the MWR office and they didn't answer the phone for over 30 minutes! Once they finally did answer, they weren't sure of the wifi password. Make sure you connect to the HB_Campground3 network…it's the one the password works on. The RV Park is a gravel road and each of the power poles is surrounded by LARGE YELLOW cement/metal poles. We saw yellow paint on MANY of the RVs, so it's obvious that there was contact. Also, some of the slots (site 8) are really hard to get into. One individual was assigned site 8 and chose to dry camp since he couldn't get his 5er into the spot. The wifi is spotty! It does work, but goes up and down. They claim they have CATV, but they need to remove this from their amenities. They do have a CATV hookup, but only ONE channel comes in! We chose to use the antenna and received many more…all of the local channels (12 in all). The sites have large cement pads for the picnic table (which by the way is attached to the cement and can't be moved). Also, each site has a fire ring! The road in the RV Park is gravel (at best) and has many potholes. Also, the drive around the park puts you "danger close" to other rigs already parked since the sites are very close to the road -- watch out for those yellow poles. The sites themselves are somewhat level, but one gravel which is deteriorating. NOTE: the sites around site 8 are downhill and appeared to be "damp" even though it hadn't rained in a while. It looks like these sites become "lakes" during rains. I would stay in sights 1-4 or 10-16. Finally, you will find SEVERAL of the residents are LONG TERM residents or active duty people LIVING in the park. With only 16 sites, over half are TAKEN all of the time! It's obvious that the MWR Staff ignores the RV Park and doesn't come over to help things run smoothly probably because of the long drive! If they had a camp host or took a little more interest in the RV park, it could be a real gem. The park is unkept and ignored. I would only recommend this RV Park if you want to be close to downtown Savannah (still a drive and the traffic is horrendous during rush hour) and the mall (it's right out the gate). If not, go to Ft Stewart if you're in the area.

This is a cozy , setback campground just inside the gate. We enjoyed the quiet and seclusion. HAAF has everything one could need. Campground host Nathan is amazing. He greeted us and shared info about base and local area! He is working hard to keep the grounds nice! The Army could put a few bucks into this park to keep areas from flooding....we enjoyed our stay, super close to all the Savannah highlights! Will come back!

Ok, many of the previous comments are spot on. At one time I suppose Lott’s Island RV Park was something that the base cared and supported—financially and otherwise. Not the case now, but I encourage my fellow RV’ers to not be discouraged. It is many squatters here but it is still room for anyone passing through. We arrived and the MRW office was closed, we simply found an empty space and set up, and encourage others to do so. Called MWR the next day and asked to reserve space, was told that no vacancies existed. 2 hours later stopped by the office and stated that I wanted to pay for RV site X and would be staying for a few more days…no problem, money taken and no questions asked. Signs leading to the CG state you must have reservations or stay in the overflow (it took us until the next day to find overflow). For Overflow, head past CG towards Lott’s Island and you will see "RV Overflow" Signs on the right…very nice and for 6 bucks a night it was tempting for us to move there. Sites offer 30/50, water, sewer, cable (could not get cable to work), and Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi worked better than some 5 star CG’s we have stayed at, may have been our location but worked great. Gravel pads, very narrow, and some are difficult to get into. A lot of negatives (as discussed by earlier posts) but we liked our 4 day stay, It is quiet here, very convenient (Bass Pro Shop and Wal-Mart less than a mile away) to Historic Savannah, golf is great, nice and quiet, and the base is full service. Don’t expect any 5 star treatments but don’t be discouraged from this diamond in the rough.

Tried for 3 days to get someone to answer the phone. No Joy. Finally called the main number at Stewart and spoke to a lady who said the Supervisor Susan would call me back. After another day and no call I called back again and spoke to Susan. She gave me 3 or 4 excuses why the phone was always busy or no one answered. She finally said the custodian would be calling me back in 30 minutes. That was 2 hours ago and still no call. I will definitely by pass this location in the future. They do not care about customers. Rude and inconsiderate to say the least. I am also sending an email to the Post Commander.

Entry was 3 miles from where we parked the RV yet there was an entrance right next to the camp area. After setting up you had to drive 2 miles back to the post to pay your fee. There was no contact person if help or assistance was needed. Sites were small for big rigs as well as half the spots were home to active duty members and areas around their rigs was unkempt. The road into the campground was barely visible for the leaves all over and potholes. Could not extend a slide-out due to the height of the water/sewer post and the narrowness of the drive from the concrete slab. The campground is definitely not worth $22 a night.

This RV park is substandard and probably the most ghettoish I ever stayed at. Although the location is ideal for accessing local restaurants and business, it is vastly unkept. When it rains it becomes a swamp. There are NO facilities whatsoever. No WiFi, and not even a simple restroom with a couple of sinks and toilets. It also appears that the majority of users are homesteading.

Sent an email on Sunday asking for reservations for 2 nights arriving on Friday and leaving on Sunday. Received a cc'd email from the MWR director TELLING the Famcamp Mgr to call me that day to check on availability (E-mail sent 9:45 am). At 1:00 pm I tried calling. No pickup, voice mail. Left message. Called again at 3:00 pm left message. Dito at 4:45pm. Next day, same as first. Sent complaint to MWR director on the next. On Friday, at 3:00pm, while setting up at a different RV park, the Famcamp Mgr. calls and wants to know if I still wanted to come to the Famcamp. Says she was off the last few days and her boss didn't know that she was. And the guy that normally answers the phone wasn't there either. (I call BS!)

We love Savannah, and if you want to bring your RV, this could be a great option. A big negative is the lack of bathroom, shower, or laundry room, but if your RV is adequately equipped, this may not be an issue. Check out the video.

Had made "reservations" a few weeks ago and were told we would have spot #5. When we arrived, someone was in that spot and looked like they had been there for quite some time.So we drove around the loop and picked another spot. MWR was closed for the day, so we set up and planned on going in the morning to pay. There were so many bugs, flies and ants! We had to constantly spray ourselves with bug spray. It was all dirt everywhere. We have 2 dogs and had to actually load them up in the car and take them somewhere else to do their business because of the insects, and there was not much grass in the park either. The receptacle where you discard your dogs poop was completely full, and hadn't been emptied in a while. We had planned on staying a few days, but couldn't tolerate the conditions, so left after 1 night. We did go to MWR, and spoke to a couple of great guys, filled out a comment card, and were told to leave cash in the box back at the camp (the person in charge of the RV park wasn't in). I would not recommend this park at all!

Nice little park - with no Amenities like WIFI or Bathhouse. Nathan does a great job in keeping things going but some the facilities do need some attention. Spots need new gravel and the road does too. Though the information says 14 day stay it was apparent that some folks had been there for months. Great location to visit Savannah, 8th AF Museum and Tybee Island

It was a pleasure to pull into the Lotts Island RV park at Hunter Army Airfield, Savannah, GA. We were met by the campground host Nathan and I could tell right away he takes his responsibility for the campground seriously. He made us feel welcome and right at home as he confirmed we were on his list of arrivals and told us about the local area. We asked where we could find some fresh Chitlins to eat and he said he’d have to get back to us on that after he talked to one of his relatives, and he did. Nathan takes care of the grass and over all appearance of the Lotts campground and I’m sure without him, things would not be as well kept. I would recommend this campground to anyone. Easy access to shopping right outside the gate. Great for cost effective short stay. The only draw back to this campground is that there are no bathroom or showers or laundry in the campground.

This park was a perfect 2-day stop for us to tour Savannah. The camp site host was very accommodating. The site was clean and the hookups worked great. The park is located within in a 2-minute walking distance from a nice large mall and within a 5-minute walking distance from a Walmart. Considering the location and the extra peace of being in a gated community (on a military base), this is a good value. We would certainly return to this park.

This RV park is convenient to visit Savannah. Everyone should visit River Street and hopefully see a cargo ship travel by during its trip into port. Fort Pulaski is not far to appreciate history and to enjoy a picnic. The historic house tours of Savannah are very enjoyable. Sign up for one or several or perform a hop on hop off bus tour. Also, you may want to make time to just sit and enjoy one or more of the green space squares in Savannah. They are so nice. The original Carey Hilliards BBQ restaurant on Skidaway Road is a restaurant we would recommend. The onion rings are the very best. Overall, the campground is average. It's close to the fence boundary and a more busy street, so you do have some traffic noise. However, all the campsites are mostly shaded, from the very tall pine trees that surround the campground. Make sure you use the directions in this directory, because there is a 24/7 entrance gate very near the campground. Using any other gate is inconvenient and traveling on the busy surface streets around the post, can be a challenge you would like to avoid.

Stayed at the Campground for a Soccer Tournament for my sons soccer team nearby. It's a small campground but we had a great weekend stay. Just make sure you call ahead they don't return messages. Saw some negative reviews but our stay was good especially if you want a weekend get away to Savannah. We had fun with the kids nice fire pits overall good but we aren't picky people it's Camping.

We arrived in our 30 foot motorhome - had a reservation made 2 months out and confirmed the week before arrival. However, we arrived and no sites were available. People pull into an empty site and stay even if they have no reservation. The staff does not make them leave for someone that has a reservation, what they did do was have us park next to a site and share the power (each site has 50amp and 30 amp avail). Everyone we talked to (there were several of the 16 sites) were permanent - people even leaving their RV and driving on a vacation in their car. Would be nice to have a camp host on site to monitor the site assignment. Having said all that--there was cable TV (plenty of stations), internet (you have to ask at the office for the password), nice concrete pads and picnic tables. Location was great for visiting Savannah.

E.S. left this review using the Directory software: - We made reservations for a site for three nights, starting on 20 November. We arrived on the 20th to find the office closed. The office is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. When we made our reservation, but they did not tell us the office was closed two days a week. There was no camp host, so we were on our own. We checked out the campground and there were NO open sites. We had to chose between dry camp there or move on to another RV park. We will never return to Hunter AA RV park!

We called last week for reservations for this weekend and were told they were full up and had no vacancies. We came to Tybee Island instead. Today we drove up and there were several empty sites that we could have used. After seeing the place I am glad we did not stay there. Full of home steadeer and some RV have weeds growing around and under them. The sites were very tight and narrow. Who ever planed this campground has never been a camper. The cement patios would be very nice if they were a couple feet further from the steel posts agound the hookups. Just a bad experience driving a car through the place. Will not be back.

Lotts Island is a no frills campground. The price is $30 a night and we got spotty WiFi, a fire ring that was destroyed and somewhat level site. We felt for the price there should be a bit more amenities and better up keep. We had a substitute camp host for 2 days then left on our own. The campground is right by the gate and it's a tight turn to get to it. Just outside the gate is an Aldi's, Bass Pro, and a Walmart. PX is a bit of a drive to get to. We did like how easy and fast it was to get to downtown Savannah.
