Brickhill Bluff Wilderness Campsite

Very peaceful campground. We backpacked up here around early spring and camped for two nights. Very, very primitive campground. Make sure to treat your water before drinking! My only complaint was the bugs. I went through an entire can of bug spray and still got bit over 30 times. However the still water and the occasional dolphin is worth the long 11 mile hike from the dock.

Quiet gorgeous primitive campsite at the furthest reaches of the Cumberland Island National Seashore system. Leeward side of the Island.

Beautiful place, very secluded and beautiful. Bring plenty of bug spray and a water filter!

Brickhill Bluff is the most remote campground in Cumberland Island National Seashore. It's more than thirteen miles from Sea Camp Ranger Station and dock, but it's relatively close to the even-more remote historic district on the North End of the island, including the First African Baptist Church. It's breezy, which help keeps the gnats at bay, has great views over the western marsh, and is right on a bluff with easy water access. You can kayak here from Crooked River State Park.

Didn't love it. The hike from ferry to the campsite wasn't all that interesting. It was fun to see the horses and the armadillos. It was not fun to experience the plethora of ticks and gnats and mosquitoes. Even with bug spray expect to be thoroughly coated in ticks. Brickhill bluff was certainly isolated and peaceful. I just didn't find that the campsite was worth all the effort to get to it and to endure the insects. There are more enjoyable and beautiful hikes out there in the US. The hiking trails are not well marked - expect to take wrong turns and get lost. COVID notice: Note that most people did not mask on the return ferry and the ferry operator did not do any safety protocol announcements at all - nothing about life preservers and nothing about masking.
