Overview & Suitability

The Belk Car Park at Oglethorpe Mall offers extensive surface parking directly adjacent to the Belk department store. Located in the bustling Midtown area of Savannah, Georgia, this open-air parking lot is designed primarily for standard passenger vehicles, SUVs, and light trucks. It is highly suited for shoppers, mall employees, and visitors seeking convenient access to the retail stores, services, and dining options within the mall. While the layout is spacious, it is not designated as an RV park or overnight campground, and oversized commercial vehicles or motorhomes are typically restricted from long-term or overnight stays.

Access, Dimensions & Clearance

As an open-air surface parking lot, the facility has no height restrictions or clearance limits for standard vehicles, making it highly accessible for taller passenger vehicles and SUVs. The parking lot features multiple wide entry and exit points along Mall Way and Abercorn Street, facilitating easy navigation and flow of traffic. Drivers should, however, remain alert to pedestrian traffic near the mall entrances, especially during peak shopping hours and holiday seasons.
