open easy sites, most are back in. friendly people. pet friendly, but campground cats roaming so watch your dog. horses and goats in farm area, plenty of room for a nice leg stretch for the dogs. close to town and nice trolley will pick you up at campground

Great amenities,lake for fishing ,multiple dog parks

The park needs a lot of work. The bathrooms have been updated but no toilet paper so bring your own. The dog park grass hasn’t been cut in weeks. The park is in a great location and good for a one night stay.

We wanted to camp 6 days near Hilton Head and this campground opened up late last year. They invested heavily in the camp ground. Large concrete sites easy to back in. Clean, pretty setting. Pool , club house , bar, dog park, dog washing station. even the laundry is first class. 10 miles into downtown Hilton head with biking, hiking, kayaks and lots of gators

We stayed here for two nights on our way back home from Florida to Virginia. We had a pull thru full hookup gravel site. Our two dogs had a blast at the dog park! It is located next to a city park with walking trails. And only a short 30 min drive to Savannah. Will stay again! Clean, well kept, friendly. Close to freeway.

Pool was fantastic and clean. Bathrooms were new and clean. Showers were well lit and clean. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Small dog park but our boxer loved getting to run a bit off leash!

Sites were in the sun not much shade around.

We will be back without a doubt!

Pet friendly with an enclosed dog area, beautiful area, clean, friendly and attentive staff.

A little out of the way , nicely kept KOA. I love the decorum. The office houses a shower , laundry , pizza service and a small coffee and liquor bar. The staff was very nice and professional. The dog park is itty bitty which might prompt you to take a walk on the trail around a small lake........but remember where you are cause your dog is not the top of the food chain here! No swimming in that lake! Well shaded and intricately interwoven parking spots. AND a Caboose to rent! Very cool. We stayed here overnight enroute to NC, it was moderately full but started filling up the day we left. The Parris Island is not far off and I’m sure during graduations this KOA gets crowded as well as evacuations and vacations.

Camp South RV Park served as a stop-over on our way home from a long road trip in 2020. It was quiet on the night we were there and we had the place practically to ourselves. Met one of the owners and his daughter who told us the story of how the campground was where she learned to hunt. Beautiful farm across the lovely pond. I really enjoyed the community garden and the community gathering area complete with TVs and a large fire pit and cooker. Adorable playground and large dog park with poop bags!! We will be staying again this fall. Can't wait!! Maybe it'll be a little cooler.

What a fabulous location. So close to the 95. Easy drive through spots and all the amenities of home. Including a convenience store, laundry, a fishing river, security gates, easy check in, dog park, even video games. The best part is that it sets next to the Savannah Ogeechee Canal Museum. What a beautiful picturesque place for a walk/ hike. It really looks like a place out of the movies. Worth the $5 admission. There are a couple negatives to the campground. The spots are in incredibly close to one another. Absolutely no privacy. Also, If you are near the road, you will be surprised by the morning traffic sounds. However, if it’s just a night or two it’s a great stopover!

Our new favorite campground. This place isn’t even a year old. Everything is PRISTINE. The sites (concrete, level and ENORMOUS), the landscaping, the amenities…absolutely flawless. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. There is a gorgeous pool with lazy River that looks like a high end resort. The restaurant is great. There is a beautiful laundry facility and a great dog park. They have basketball, pickleball, splash pad, and a nice playground. The Waters Edge section is 18 and up and has its own gated entrance and pool. Many of those sites overlook HH National golf course. You can easily walk to the course. Lots of shady bike paths. They rent golf carts. The one and only negative for this place is that it’s pricey. But it’s more affordable than a hotel resort. I guess one other negative would be the proximity to the beach. If that is important to you, Hilton Head Motorcoach Resort is better. If you stay here try Underground Burrito in Old Town Bluffton (amazing).

Very shady, level, and accommodating is what I can say upon my first impression. Pet friendly and just over all very well groomed. Manager was there to answer questions upon arrival and later after set up. You can tell this place is maintained. I will come back.

This is an awesome RV park if you want a true resort experience. They have an area for adults only and then the larger area caters to families. We took our 4 kids and they loved it. They were begging to be able to go back soon and we are going again in 2 weeks. They have a large pool with lazy river and a very nice playground. The bathrooms/bathhouse is very luxurious. It honestly reminded me of the a high end hotel resort. The sites were large enough and while the park was completely full while we were there we didn’t feel as packed in as we have in some other parks. There isn’t a lot of large vegetation yet since it is a new park but we didn’t mind that. I thought it was cool that our resort pass card served like a room key allowing us to charge things to our site (like drinks and wood). We did take our Maltese and he ended up needing a bath so my girls took him to the dog wash area which they said was set up like a groomers shop. They also had a fenced in dog park area. All in all we can’t wait to get back. We are renting a golf cart next time we go so we can ride around the entire park because it is very large. The one downside some people have pointed out is that currently you can’t bring outside golf carts and the resort is pricey. However considering the amenities the price seems reasonable to me. -(edited) We did return 2 weeks later and stayed in a HUGE pull thru site in the back. The sites are very level. Our auto level wasn’t working but we were able to manually level with no problem. We did rent a golf cart this time and it was nice since the campground is so large. However, we did find out that only guests registered in the adults only Waters Edge section can access it, so we weren’t able to check that area out. It did look really nice though. Rather than regular picnic tables those sites have nicer plastic looking bar height tables at every site.

This is a review of our experience here for a six month stay for work (Sep-Mar 2023/24). Whether anything is under the control of the owners or not, it provides information about our experience for others. Our evaluation is based on a comparison of campgrounds we have been to over the last thirty plus years. We know we agreed to the terms here, but didn't have much of a choice with other places being full and other reservations being cancelled on us prior to our arrival.

  Making reservation and check in were both easy. We paid by check. We were brought to our site in a golf cart and shown all the hookups and it was explained how to get into the site easily. We had no problems with Barbara or Russ. They were very informative as to where all the necessary places were (groceries, car wash etc.) We were also given a couple of good recommendations for local restaurants. You can buy tickets and get the trolley from here.   Most sites are nice, large, and shaded. Ours had a concrete pad and we fit our 36 foot 5th wheel and 2 vehicles easily, and still had all kinds of space. The front row is all on dirt and close together, the rest of the park is spacious sites.   The park itself is nice and everyone is quiet. There are many long term and permanent rigs, but all are in pretty good shape. Convenient location for work at hospital. You can receive mail/packages here.

Now for the drawbacks.   It is pretty expensive for a park with no amenities. There is no wifi, laundry room, shower/restroom, picnic table, fire ring, store, or dog park. Nothing. Our next campground is four hundred a month cheaper and has showers, restrooms and laundry/game room. All of our previous campgrounds at this price had pools, playgrounds, basketball and or pickleball, stores, propane, dog parks, fire rings, picnic tables, and some even free entertainment on Friday and Saturday evenings.   This is by far the loudest campground we have ever been to for road noise. The front row is 20 yards from the highway, and the second row (which we were in) is about 30 yards away. Vehicles with loud exhausts and stereos and semis all day long. There are both a police station and a fire station right down the road, so they go blasting by with sirens on average 4-6 times a day. I even joked with my wife that there were no sirens until 20 minutes into the new year. There is no attempt to quiet it, like a privacy fence or anything. I understand it may not be as bad in the back spaces.   No security measures. I know of four vehicles that were gone through while we were there (including mine). The fence doesn't surround the whole property, no controlled access, no cameras, and only one light at the entrance. I read a previous review that someone else had a problem with catching someone going through their stuff here.   Monthly stays have to maintain your own site. Mowing, raking, etc. Since it was fall/winter I did a lot of cleaning up leaves and fallen branches. Somewhere between 30-40 bags of leaves.   Large trees may be nice for shade in summer, but both of our vehicles (one brand new) ended up looking like they were in a hailstorm from the acorns falling out of the huge oaks they were parked under. The truck also had a couple of scrapes from the branches falling on it. Site 5. Not all sites have the parking directly beneath these behemoth trees.   We went ten days over six months. For the last ten days our rate was changed to where it cost seventy dollars per night. Most places have just continued those last few days at the same rate we were paying for the monthly rate.   After a while of being in Savannah we did find other campgrounds at about half the price which would have added between 10 to 30 minutes of drive time for work. We chose to not go through the hassle of packing everything up and moving. We would probably choose one of those campgrounds for two main reasons: Price and road noise.

We are staying here while waiting for a work camper gig. We have a site by the lake. Pretty views, pretty big site. The driveway up to the pad was muddy and rutty when we parked. Some sites have a pea type gravel, ours is just the sandy soil. There is a concrete patio in great shape.

Laundry area has card access as well as quarters. It is clean with a set of washer and dryer labeled for pets which is good, there are a lot of dogs here. It is close to a trail system so you can take your dogs on longer walks if you would like.

It is very dark at night. The only light coming from the vending machines, dog waste stations, and RVs that leave lights on. Bring a light if you are going out after dark.

The WiFi is ok depending on what signal you pick up. We have a booster and used the pool station. Cable is not digital and cuts out now and then. We don’t watch it much.

People have been very nice and welcoming so far. We would recommend. It is a little pricey but I think that is true for the area in general. It books up fast so plan ahead.

This is a great location on HHI. The sites are level, landscaped and private. There are full hook ups including WiFi and cable. We liked it so much we stayed for an extra week. There are water views from some sites. It is very pet friendly. There are 2 pools and a tennis court. One of the best restaurants on the island, Sunset Grill, is on the property by the marina. I’m taking one star off because there is no traffic light at the entrance and traffic can be bad making left turns out of Jenkins Rd.
