TYBEE ISLAND’S 2nd ANNUAL
“OPEN HOUSE - CAMPGROUND CELEBRATION”
AT RIVER’S END CAMPGROUND & RV PARK
Tybee Island, Ga. (October 15, 2007) - The City of Tybee Island is proud to offer a showcase where life and
lifestyle meet at the River’s End Campground & RV Park. This free event is a “homecoming” for those who
frequent the campground from far away, while providing an opportunity to local residents to celebrate the
successful partnership first forged in July of 2006 between the City of Tybee Island and the Chatham County
Recreational Authority. This initiative made the preservation of the property possible to serve as a timely
reminder of the pastoral, historical nature of Tybee’s days of yore. Besides preserving our heritage, the
Campground also makes a significant current contribution to the local economy, easily adding over $1M a
year in restaurant visits alone. The City of Tybee Island invites YOU to share in the enthusiasm and to
experience the atmosphere offered at the campground with an “Open House - Campground Celebration” on
Friday evening, November 2, 2007 from 6PM – 8PM at the River’s End Campground & RV Park.
Sites are still available for the weekend! Parking will be located at the City of Tybee Island Police Station
located on Van Horne Street. From there, the campground is just a short hike down Fort Avenue on the
right. Campers of all ages will be welcomed as we cook hotdogs on the grill or by the campfire, and we
wrap up the meal with a delectable, old-time favorite, S’Mores. (For those of you that don’t know what a
S’More is, it’s a sandwich of graham cracker and chocolate bar with a roasted marshmallow. . . Delicious!)
Festivities will include an oral history of the campground in Tybee Island’s history, as well as a hay ride for
the children, face painting, and other fun stuff!
The City of Tybee Island and River’s End would like to thank the sponsors for each of the forms of support
provided to make this event a successful one. These include Doyle Landscaping Inc., Tybee Island Arts
Association, Tybee Island American Legion, Tybee Island Residents & Property Owners Association
(TIRPOA), Chu’s Convenience Stores, Tybee Beautification Committee, Tybee Arts Association, Wal-Mart,
Tybee Neighbors, and the Tybee Island YMCA.
