What to do
Visit farm animals: Double L Farms allows campers to interact with horses, cows, chickens, and other farm animals. "We absolutely loved the cows, horses, donkeys, chickens, guinea hens, ducks, turkey, cats, dogs and other animals we came across during our stay. In fact, our daughters thought the farm animals were the best part of our camping trip!" reports one camper at Double L Farms Campground.
Train hunting dogs: The area offers specialized facilities for sporting dog enthusiasts. "They have several ponds that can be reserved if you have retriever dogs to train. They host many retriever tests on the weekend and they are fun to watch," explains a visitor to H. Cooper Black. These field trial facilities provide dedicated areas for dog training year-round.
Explore lake trails: Nearby parks offer water activities and shoreline paths. "The trail around the lake is very pretty, and there are lots of things to do across the lake. (Boat rentals, playground, picnic areas, park office…)," mentions a camper at Cheraw State Park Campground. The boardwalk provides accessible lake viewing opportunities.
What campers like
Farm atmosphere: The rural setting creates a peaceful camping environment. "Wonderful, small, relaxing campground. Large, level, FHU sites. Some permanent trailers and seasonal campers, mostly occupied by traveling healthcare professionals. Well maintained. Campground is surrounded by the owners farmland," writes a visitor to Double L Farms.
Clean facilities: Campgrounds in the area maintain well-kept restrooms and showers. "The bathrooms and showers were amazingly clean and they had a giant heater you can turn on over the showers when it's cold outside!" notes a guest at Cheraw State Park Campground. This attention to cleanliness stands out to visitors throughout the season.
Wildlife viewing: The region offers excellent opportunities for birding and wildlife observation. "Bird sanctuary so birders will LOVE this campground! There is also a really nice museum type of visitor's center," shares a visitor at H. Cooper Black Jr. Field Trial Area. Multiple parks maintain habitats that support diverse wildlife populations.
What you should know
Farm animal proximity: Livestock sounds start early at farm-based campsites. "The best amenity though? The free rooster alarm clock you'll hear around 5:30am every morning!" mentions a camper at Double L Farms. Prepare for morning noises if staying at agricultural properties.
Varied site privacy: Campground layouts range from secluded to social. "The regular sites are usually full, and very close, but the lake front sites are gorgeous and worth being close to neighbors," explains a visitor to Cheraw State Park. Waterfront locations often trade privacy for views.
Limited commercial amenities: The area remains rural with minimal shopping options. "Not much around the campground though. If you want peace and quiet, and don't need shopping or touristy stuff- this is for you," advises a camper at Cheraw State Park Campground. Stock supplies before arrival as convenience stores have limited inventory.
Tips for camping with families
Farm tours for kids: Children particularly enjoy interacting with farm animals. "Brian took our two year old on a tour of their amazing farm — horses, cows, ducks, chickens, and all the tractors of our toddlers' dreams," shares a family visiting Double L Farms Mobile Home Park RV Park. These informal tours create memorable experiences for young campers.
Water activities: Nearby lakes offer swimming and boating options. "There is a lake with a swimming area that was also well-maintained and clean, it has a boardwalk that goes around a large portion of the lake that connects the campground with the beach area," notes a visitor to Cheraw State Park.
Group camping areas: Some parks offer dedicated spaces for larger family gatherings. "We stayed in the camp juniper group area this time, but have camped in the regular campground in the past," reports a Girl Scout leader. These areas accommodate multiple tents but may have fewer amenities than standard sites.
Tips from RVers
Seasonal considerations: Winter camping offers unique advantages in the area. "We were lucky enough to catch a great view of Jupiter merging with Saturn last night. Super cheap. We stayed four nights for under $100. 30/50 hookups and water," shares an off-season visitor to Cheraw State Park.
Site selection: The most desirable spots fill quickly during peak seasons. "I think the best sites are those located furthest back on the property near the field, where you can gaze up at the stars at night with an unobstructed view," recommends an RVer at Double L Farms. Making reservations well in advance secures premium locations.
Utility reliability: Check hookup functionality upon arrival. "Per did not work at our site so we had to move from our great lake view site to one next to the bath house," cautions an RVer at Cheraw State Park. Testing connections immediately allows time for alternative arrangements if needed.
