South Street Partners and Brighton Real Estate Ventures have obtained a $38 million construction loan to build Camp Margaritaville Resort Golden Isles, a planned luxury RV destination in Brunswick, Georgia. The financing backs development of a 341-space RV resort that will expand hospitality offerings in the Golden Isles area with a mix of RV pads and small-format lodging units. Catal Capital provided the construction loan, while Newmark, led by Tyler Dumon and Tate Keir, arranged the financing on behalf of the borrowing partnership.
The project is rising on a 54-acre site at 7350 Hwy 99, immediately off Interstate 95 in Glynn County. Plans call for a total of 55 casitas along with 285 traditional and luxury RV pads, giving the resort a broad accommodation mix aimed at both RV travelers and guests seeking cottage-style stays. The scale of the site and the unit count position the property as a sizable addition to the regional outdoor hospitality inventory.
Camp Margaritaville Resort Golden Isles is programmed with a slate of resort-style amenities. The plan includes a pool with a lazy river, providing a central recreational draw for guests. An indoor-outdoor restaurant and bar is expected to serve as a social and dining hub, supported by a clubhouse that incorporates retail space. Additional planned facilities include a fitness center, an arcade, and multiple meeting and event spaces intended to capture both leisure and small-group demand.
Outdoor amenities will feature two pickleball courts, a dog park, and a music pavilion, enhancing the property’s appeal for extended stays and family travel. The resort will also include a boathouse on a six-acre lake within the site, adding water-based recreation to the overall amenity package. These features align the project with the broader trend of amenity-rich RV and outdoor resorts that blur the line between traditional campgrounds and full-service hospitality properties.
The location provides direct access from Interstate 95 and sits roughly 25 minutes from St. Simons Island, a well-known coastal destination in the Golden Isles. This positioning is expected to capture drive-to demand from regional travelers and visitors headed to nearby beaches and islands. The project is currently under construction and is scheduled to open in early 2028, adding new supply to the Brunswick-area hospitality market once completed.
The financing, lender, and advisory roles outlined in the transaction underscore ongoing lender appetite for experiential hospitality assets backed by established sponsorship and branded resort concepts. For South Street Partners and Brighton Real Estate Ventures, the construction loan represents a key milestone in moving the Camp Margaritaville Resort Golden Isles from planning into active development.
