Need a break? Georgia Geo-Camper SPRING BREAK 2017!! is for you.
Typically spring breakers head to the crowded beaches and stuffed hotels. The Georgia Geo-Campers have reserved an
*ENTIRE ISLAND* off of Georgia's coast to host the GG-C's 2017 Spring Break.
Make plans now to join the Georgia Geo-Campers in May for Spring Break 2017. Hidden Just off the beautiful coastline of Georgia, the GG-C has reserved the entire Cabretta campground on the very secluded sandy beaches of Sapelo Island.

PAYMENT
This is very important
Campsite payment
*must* be made in advance. Payment arrangements can be made by sending a message via Georgia Geo-Campers profile located at the top of this event listing. After much consideration, we're adopting a 'no refunds' policy for this unique camping on sandy beaches island experience. Sites
can be transferable in the event someone truly needs to cancel to someone on the waiting list.
Everyone will board onto the ferry together. So, starting at 4:30pm, we'll gather up the gear at ferry launch and then board the ferry starting at 5PM on Friday, May 6. The ferry departs Georgia's mainland at 5:30pm to the destination of Cabretta Campground on Sapalo Island National Refuge. Sorry, no exceptions for departures or refunds can be made.
Your gear will be limited due to ferry space. Everyone is encouraged to pack light and encompass all your gear into 'one' pack. ALL gear must be tightly contained, no loose items on the ferry as they might unintentionally move about and not make the trip to the island. Lidded totes are a great option for packing gear and keeping all the gear contained. Small coolers are allowed, folding chairs are not permitted.
Camp sites are primitive, however there are bathrooms and hot showers available in our campground. Plenty of trees available for our hammock campers. (YAY!) Ice available on site for $2 a bag.
FOOD:
Let's plan to share as many meals as possible as a group. More details about food and all other concerns will be discussed in our
Georgia Geo-Campers page.
