This summer the ladies of Off the Grid enjoyed an amazing
three night adventure to Georgia ’s very own Cumberland Island
Our spacious campsite in Sea Camp under a magical live oak canopy. Sea Camp is 1/4 mile from the dock where you depart the ferry with your gear. Cold showers and flushing toilets make Sea Camp the "luxury" camping choice on the island.
The boardwalk from Sea Camp to the beautiful, shell filled beach. On our visit, loggerhead sea turtles were laying eggs nightly. Cumberland Island averages 300 sea turtle nest each year.
Impressive Dungeness Ruins located on the southern tip of the Island. Once the grand home of Thomas Carnegie and his wife Lucy. Glimpses of the Carnegie lifestyle can be easily imagined throughout the ruins of Dungeness, and through the abandoned luxury vehicles. The mansion burned in the 1950s, today, wild horses and other island wildlife roam freely throughout the ruins.
Feral horses grazing beside the saltwater marsh near Dungeness. The horses are most likely descendants of horses brought by English settlers in the 1700s. There are an estimated 150 horses on Cumberland Island.
Off the Grid ladies enjoying a evening stroll along Cumberland Island's shell filled beach. It is not uncommon to see no one, other than a few horses, in either direction, while walking along the shore.
