Sea Camp Ranger Station

If you’re camping on Cumberland a stop at the ranger station when you get off the ferry is a must. They’ll give you all the information you need for a successful and fun trip, plus if you’re there during sea turtle nesting season they’ll give you red gels for flashlights and explain all of the extra things about being a good visitor while that’s happening.

The Sea Camp Ranger Station is a great place to set out on your Cumberland Island adventures. The staff and volunteers are very helpful and informative. Cumberland Island is a wonderful place to spend a day or more.

Went to Cumberland Island for the tour and it was well worth it!! $45 for the Land and Leisure tour with our guide Mike!! He was the best!! 6 hour tour and it went by so fast because he kept up the story the whole time!! Great stories about the island, the Carnegie family, their homes and how the NPS acquired the island land!! So with taking the tour!! We saw the homes, horses, turkeys, armadillos, cemeteries, giant trees, oyster beds, old golf courses, a burned down mansion, and finally the tiny church where JFK Jr was married!!! Most of this you wouldn't have seen if you hadn't taken the tour!!! So well worth!!!

Cumberland Island is a must-see. Wild horses, beautiful natural beaches and marshlands make this magical place for a visit. You can come by ferry or your own boat. You can camp in primitive campsites or just come for the day. There is also a small hotel on the island, although I haven't seen it. Public restrooms are plentiful as are water bottle filling stations, even showers and feet rinsing stations for after your beach-walk. Bring your own food and be prepared to carry out all of your trash.

Helpful, friendly rangers at Cumberland Island. This outpost provides an oasis for backpackers, campers and day visitors. Great to have rental bikes available and reliable access from/to St Mary's dock.
