TravelerFamily owned RV campground with full hook-ups and a food truck on the property! We were there on a Thursday evening and had delicious chicken street tacos. Easy to get in and out of the campground with our 28 foot travel trailer. Pull thru, level sites. Peaceful location surrounded by trees. You can hear the birds chirping and the neighbor's rooster while you sit outside enjoying the morning sun. All the sites have 20, 30 and 50 amp power, and a water hook up. The plumbing at each site is housed in whiskey barrels which we thought was a clever idea. Most sites had sewer as well. We had a picnic table and fire ring at our site also. Our Verizon phones worked fine with 4G, two bars. The campground is new, and small(16 sites) which we liked. The owners have plans to add activities and events in the near future but it currently has everything an RV camper would need. They were working on an axe throwing building and an activity area for kids when we were there. It's in a great location for exploring Summerville or Charleston, or for spending the day at one of the many nearby beaches. They offer a discount if staying a week which is wonderful since there is so much to do in the nearby towns.
RangerWe called to reserve a week long stay and were told they had sites available, which turned out was only one. The campground is definitely a “no frills” park and mostly used by long term/permanent residents. The host/owner had us pull right next to his own rig, it was a tight fit and we had zero privacy. He then proceeded to sit on his RV stairs and smoke and stare at us both when we were outside and when we were in our rig. We could smell the smoke which isn’t ok with us. We didn’t even bother to put the slides out. When we set up the electricity we had fire ants attack us. We decided quickly that we’d only stay the night and we’d leave first thing in the morning. Across the street is a nice state park and campground (Colleton State Park) but they unfortunately didn’t have any sites open big enough for our 30 ft class A. I’d recommend staying there over this campground if you want to be in this exact area. We luckily found another campground closer to Charleston to stay at.
ScoutWhat a great campground with pull through sites as well as back in. Clean showers, helpful friendly staff, pool, lake and park. Near enough to Savannah and Hilton Head to have dinner or day excursions. Very clean and quiet.
LegendIf this RV oasis was any closer to the hustle & bustle of I95, the busiest thoroughfare in the Palmetto State, it would be on it, but what you don’t know is that there’s a handful of lakes and surrounding forest that is thickly populated by pine wetland along with 300 acres of Sergeant Jasper Park that adds additional nature between this CG and the highway, so you’re incredibly close, but you won’t notice it. In fact, you won’t hear anything out here, which was pretty amazing, considering just how close to I95 you are. And whether you’re planning on heading to Savannah, which is 30 minutes south of here, 40 minutes to picturesque Beaufort or oceanfront Hilton Head Island, only about 30 minutes southeast, Lake Jasper RV Park makes for either a great layover for a single night or for even a longer spell. What was also surprising is that you are not even located on the mainland here – in fact, you’ll be parked on Eagle Scout Island with direct access to beautiful Lake Jasper, which will satisfy your fishing, boating and paddling urges.
The campground is impeccably landscaped, well-maintained and organized with the RV and 5th Wheeler crowd in mind, wherein there’s decent-sized paved roads that will easily escort you around the entire property, where even the trickiest of turns are EZ here. The parking pads are both long as well as wide and where you do find ground, it’s a mixture of soil and sand silt, which prevents any erosion from happening whether you need to set up blocks for your sewage or erect a 10x10 shelter – whatever you plant in the ground is going to stay put. While there’s not a ton of privacy in between slots, each site was very spacious so you won’t have to worry about being up in your neighbors business and with 105 individual pull-through or back-in slots to choose from, each one is incredibly level and features FHUs featuring water, sewage and 50 amp electric. The pads themselves are either small gravel or sandy soil with all sites featuring a concrete patio.
Amenities: General marketplace at the main office, separate restroom and shower facilities, heated pool sitting lakefront, coin-and-CC-operated laundr-O-mat, community fire pits, doggie park & station, fishing dock, designated picnic area, RV & boat storage, covered pier, WiFi, cable-TV access, lakeside center, tetherball, horseshoes, key-pad gated entry, designated dumpsters, access to hiking trails that will take you in and around Sergeant Jasper county park offering more than 3 miles of decent, flat trails but the crown jewel of this particular campground is the direct lake access to quaint Lake Jasper.
Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) You definitely want to make the most out of being located adjacent to Sergeant Jasper county park where not only is there a direct trailhead access point here at Lake Jasper RV Park to explore all of the hiking trails or bike on, but there’s additional activities over here like a lakefront gazebo, kid’s playground, additional picnic shelters, canoe & kayak rentals as well as an 18-hole disc golf course; (2) In the event that you want to get ‘off the reservation’ and try some local fare, I highly recommend Tailgators Bar & Grill, The Clubhouse at Okatie Creek and Frankie Bones over in Blufton;(3) Should you need to load up on any supplies, just head east on Route 278 where there’s a Publix, Kroger, Sam’s Club, CVS and Walmart Supercenter; (4) If you are of my tent pitchin’ tribe, you’ll want to look for other accommodations as this is a mobile camping outpost only; (5) Be sure to grab a spot at the community fire pit or the small little peninsula that the picnic area is on around 5pm in order to get a pristine view of the sunset as it sinks right over Lake Jasper, making for simply wonderful sundowners; (6) Be aware that there are snakes and alligators in and around Lake Jasper, so if you’re out walking Fido, be sure to keep him / her on the leash at all times; and (7) IMHO the best sites are those located right on the lake and include sites like #14, #31– #38 and #39 – #47, although you will want to take the following into consideration: site #39 rubs right up against the shower and restroom facilities and sites #14 and #31 have the head trail entrance running between them, so if you are concerned with random pedestrians passing by your spot all the time, then maybe another spot would be better. If you don’t mind not having a lakeview, I also like spots #48 – #53 that are tucked away in a corner and keep you away from the general population.
Happy Camping!
GuideSweetwater Lake Campground is a small RV campground. There is electric and water hookup and a dump station. Lots are decent size and fairly level on grass or gravel. The owners are very nice and available, if needed. Reservations are not taken, so you pull in and pick your spot. Drop your money in a lock box. The property has a nice size lake and all spots face it. There are fire pits and hammocks. The best and most fun part about this campground are the rescue donkeys. Their shelter and grazing area is situated directly behind the camper row. You can hear them bray and they will come to you and let you pet them, although, you should use caution as they warn you that donkeys bite. This is a very nice, quiet campground surrounded by private property of fields and lake. I really enjoyed our stay here!
TravelerThis one one of the cutest, most well-maintained State Park Campgrounds we’ve been to. The groundskeeper Larry is the nicest man and was so welcoming from booking to departure. You can tell he takes pride in caring for his site. There’s a nice big field for the dogs to play in and we were able to rent kayaks from the outfitter across the creek to explore the Edisto River. There’s a good burger place 3 miles down the road (Lee’s) too. The cell and WiFi worked great for full time remote work and locationally Colleton is about 1 hour between Charleston, Savannah, and Congaree National Park. I think this is also the smallest state park in South Carolina.
ScoutWe stayed over on our way to Charleston, SC. We booked it online. We had no hookeups, but water and a dump station is available. There are hiking trails, canoeing, and fishing. The ranger was super friendly and they are pet friendly. We had to switch sites when we arrived due to a space issue. We have a 32’ RV and the site stated a max of 35’ but there was a tent pad that would have interfered with us being level. We were allowed to switch with no issues.
GuideLake Jasper is a wonderful place! It is located a few miles off of I-95 near a medical center. The campground itself is gates, with pull through and back in sites nestled in along a lake with palm trees and a wonderful views. We have stayed here many times, and every time the stay is wonderful and relaxing.
The sites are large and level for the most part, but there are a few sites where you will need leveling blocks for longer rigs. Most, if not all, of the sites are full hookup. Most, if not all of The sites have concrete pads, and the soil is very sandy so everything stays firm even if it rains.
Navigating the park is a breeze; the roads are wide, the turns are gentle, and there is plenty of room to get around.
The park is extremely well kept, and every year when we go it seems they added some sort of improvement, with the latest being the automatic gates at the front. You are not able to access the campground without a gate code. They have a small camp store with a few basics, a wonderful pool that overlooks the lake, and a laundry and a bathhouse on either side of the pool.
The campground is conveniently located off of I-95, but it is not far from Savannah and Myrtle Beach. The prices here have gone up steadily, but I don’t mind since they make improvements regularly and really keep the park well maintained. Everything looks bright and fresh, nothing is run down which is no small feat along the Coast.
We are heading back to Lake Jasper in a few weeks and I can say I am very excited to get there!
