For overnight accommodations, furnished cabins sit nestled in the woods for rent, as well as campsites which can be found along the Edisto Island oceanfront or in the shaded maritime forest.

In fact, 120 sites can accommodate RVs or tents, with 115 sites offering 50 amp electrical service.
As part of Georgia’s Intracoastal Waterway, Skidaway Island State Park is nearly 600 acres of maritime forest, tidal creeks, and salt marshes nestled between the Skidaway River and the housing developments of The Landing. The park’s main draw is its lush coastal woods of live oaks, red cedars, and pines dripping with Spanish moss, which, in turn, is home for a variety of wildlife, including deer, raccoons and a variety of shorebirds. Many of the park’s flora and fauna can be seen on a network of 6 miles of walking trails and boardwalks. Some trails are ADA accessible, and some are also open to cyclists. For your best chance at spying a resident alligator, go for a stroll on the 2-mile Big Ferry Trail. Visitors to Skidaway Island State Park, just a 10-mile drive southeast of Savannah, have access to nearly 90 tent and RV campsites, in addition to 3 camper cabins and 3 group campsites. All sites offer electrical hookups, and some are ADA accessible. Campground amenities include restrooms with showers, bike rentals, picnic areas, two playgrounds, laundry facilities, and an interpretive center. There is also an amphitheater that hosts seasonal interpretive programs. A hiking trail from the campground leads to an observation tower that overlooks the Skidaway Narrows, where you can scan for egrets and osprey. If you’re lucky, you might spot dolphins swimming up the waterway. Campsite rates range from $40–$49/night; cabins range from $42–$140/night.
$40 - $49 / night

I’ve never “glamped” before, so I can’t comment much from that perspective. It is not a “luxury” spot. But for us it was better than that because it was fun, comfortable and easy.
About 15 minutes from Ridgeland proper with stores, dining, etc, Stonewood Farm is tucked away in the pines a short dirt road drive off a 2 lane highway.
Kim, the host, is friendly and helpful. She gave us a tour of the farm and introduced us to the animals.
Bring a bag of carrots for the horses.
My son loved the animals and exploring.
The tent/cabin is wood framed with wood and canvas walls. The mattress on the queen bed was awesome. But you will want to spend most of your time outside under the stars and by the fire pit. The area is dark, so good star gazing.
I took pictures of the kitchen items provided.
Great stay. Thanks!
ScoutMy daughter and I stayed in the glamping tent at Stonewood Farm just before Thanksgiving.
What a great place to unwind before the craziness of the holidays. Stonewood Farm is tucked away and offers the perfect blend of nature and farm life.
All the animals on this off-the-grid Hobby Farm are rescues and really friendly. My 12 year old daughter was in Heaven! She had fun with the horses, goats, dogs and especially the one cat who visited our tent and crashed our Monopoly game.
The tent itself is spacious and has a tv/dvd, a heater and the most comfy bed ever. We happened to be there during a new moon and could see a million stars and the Milky Way right over our tent. We could hear owls in the distance calling to each other.
Kimberly and Ed were amazing hosts. The campsite is away form their cabin allowing for privacy, but if we ever needed anything, they were right there to help.
My only concern is this was my daughter’s first time camping in a tent and the bar is now raised high. Haha. This is such a unique experience, we will definitely be back!

There are two sections to Edisto Beach State Park. The Ocean side campground is the best with the ocean breezes, but the marsh side campground is an easy bicycle ride from the beach.
It's South Carolina in the summer, so there are mosquitoes. And the raccoons are pretty fierce so you want to make sure your food is stored securely, so you don't wake up to critters eating your potato chips.
The restrooms and showers are clean.
Edisto Island is one of the least developed islands in South Carolina. There is a Piggly Wiggly grocery store to pick up all the things you may have forgotten. There is an ice cream shop and several restaurants, but it is pretty quiet. My favorite thing about staying at Edisto Beach State Park is bicycling to the beach, bicycling along the paths in the state park that lead to a shell mound, built by Native Americans around 2,000 B.C., and bicycling for beers at one of the little bars overlooking the ocean. Another plus is the park's proximity to Botany Bay.

When making reservations at James Island County Park we had modest expectations, but we were going to tour Charleston most of the time, so we decided anything close to the city would be good enough. The campground turned out to be very nice. We wished we had stayed there longer to enjoy not only Charleston, but the nature beauty of the park itself. The campground is located in a huge park with lots of amenities. The sites are spacious, covered with trees, full hookups with 50 amp service. There are a lot of shaded picturesque walking and bike trails in the park. The dog park was amazingly big, with a little doggy beach for water lovers. There is a big kids playground with a fun looking spray play fountain. It is located just 15 min drive from the campground to downtown Charleston. It is a great campground to stay when visiting Charleston. We have a video on our YouTube Channel- Summertime RV Rovers- about this park- Great Campgrounds in Coastal South Carolina: Charleston and Hilton Head Island. Please check for yourself. We camped at James Island County Park in a Motorhome.

I stayed in a back in site in camping area 2. I would call it big rig challenging w/the narrow road and tight-ish back in. I enjoyed the trails & observation tower as well as the cute little shop where you check in. My friend joined me over the weekend & her kids really liked the All About Bats presentation & the playground. Lots of deer & other wildlife to be seen. Shaded sites & mine was full hookup. Pet friendly & the laundry facility takes credit cards. They ended up renting a yurt which was cool. There are also cabins but we didn’t see those.

If you suddenly find yourself in northern Georgia in and around Savannah(arguably the coolest place in the entire South) and find yourself in need of parking your mobile camping unit for the night, then Stoney Crest Plantation Campground might be a good place for you to consider. While this camping depot indicates that they offer up tent camping, my own impression is that this is squarely an RV-focused lot, with about 30 or so pull-thru and back-in sites offering all of the typical hook-ups(water, sewage, 50/ 30/ 20 amp electric) as well as designated trash and recycling bins. Located just off of May River Road due north and east of Savannah, Stoney Crest is little more than a grassy knoll for RVs to park for the night(or semi-permanently, as a number of RVs would hint at). One of the great upsides to this location is its proximity to toney Hilton Head Island(just 10 miles away), so if you are looking for proximity to paradise, without the price tag, then Stoney Crest Plantation has you covered. Here at pet-friendly Stoney Crest they offer coin-operated laundry room(2 washer and dryers) facilities, swimming pool, playground, restroom and shower facilities(although I will admit, in dire need of a super cleaning and updated refurbishment), TV/ recreation room, 2 vending machines(note: no on-site market or store) nature-walking trails and complimentary WiFi. Insider’s tips? Here’s a few:(1) If you are looking to‘hit the links’ then there’s a great golf club just due north of Stoney Crest called Hampton Hall Club, which has a simply fantastic 18 holes for you to sink some little white balls in;(2) When you get tired of investigating what might be left in your cooler with which to make a meal and want to explore the local surroundings, then I highly recommend you give‘Squat‘N’ Gobble’ a shot as they have some outstanding‘Low Country’ food options, including Low Country Boil(shrimp, corn on the cob, andouille sausage, red potatoes) and Fried Chicken;(3) Nearby you’ll discover there’s a‘sculpture garden’ in Palmetto Oaks that offers up unique man-made sculptures in the midst of nature;(4) Decent(not amazing) hikes in nearby Saint Joseph’s and Oscar Frazier Parks; and(5) If antebellum South is of interest to you, there’s Heyward House Museum and Welcome Center that displays a lot of the pre-Civil War customs, culture and way-of-life before the South was overtaken by the North. Happy Camping!
RangerThis was a remote campground that took about an hour to reach after leaving Interstate 95. The site had electricity and there were showers and flush toilets. You were only a walk past the dues to beach on the Atlantic Ocean. We loved this site.
TravelerI mostly do car camping in a two person tent. The campsite pad has a plug and faucet right next to you and you're on the other side of a sand dune from the beach. The restrooms are close by to every site. Beautiful, uncrowded beach that's great for swimming. About a mile from the camp site is a two mile trail that was great for running and biking.
RangerThis campground has 106 drive-in sites and 5 hike-in sites. The drive-in sites are split up into two different sections, one being marsh side the other being beach side. I would definitely recommend bringing a bicycle and getting one of the beach side drive-in sites. You can explore the whole island with ease with one and the park also has excellent bike friendly trails. Over the years Edisto has become our favorite beach destination on the east coast. It has a local, non-commercial feel where most of the businesses are still family owned. There are no high rises and almost everyone gets around by bike or golf cart.
ScoutWe spent one night at a tent site. The amenities (bathrooms and showers) we very clean. Very busy. On Easter weekend, there was only one empty site. Most campers seem to be in RVs.the neighbors were nice and Edisto Beach was very clean and the people were so welcoming and friendly.
ScoutWeekend on the marsh w 3 dogs
TravelerOne word, WOW! Wonderful campground, great beach access, walking, biking. Moe loved being able to play on the beach! Close by restaurants, pubs, even a grocery store. We will be back soon!
ScoutLove how close this was to the beach. We were able to bike there and theres some shade that helped because it's wicked hot.
TravelerClean sites and facilities. Quiet atmosphere. We stayed at the walk in tent sites and they were very nice.
Scoutvery good place to camp and they have showers...
ScoutWe stayed in the Live Oak campground portion of the State Park at a walk-in rustic tent site. These sites have the most privacy in the park. There are six walk-in sites all with beautiful views of the salt marsh and pleanty of space (within and between sites). The sites are located on one of the many trails in the state park. All trails are open to pedestrians and cyclists alike, and none of the trails are challenging in length or terrain. Matthew and I were able to bike them all in a morning. We visited in early May and had excellent beach weather without much of a crowd!
TravelerThe beachside campground is narrow which affords easy access to the beach. It's hard to find a spot that doesn't offer a view.
TravelerThe beach is lovely - clean, quiet, very close to the beach campsites. Bathrooms are clean and well kept although why on earth do some SC state park bathrooms only have a slimy bar of soap to share? My complaint is that some of the sites are awful - ours had no trees, neighbors breathing down our neck, and nowhere to pitch a tent that wasn’t incredibly hard packed. No playground and the water is salty. I understand this is storm damage, some of it, but it’s an extremely expensive campsite.
TravelerWe camped here during the winter and had fun. This campsite is perfect for riding bikes around.
TravelerOur first time in the park and it was great. Low key within a beautiful state park. Steps to a low population beach with TONS of shells to collect. Very quiet at max capacity. Active staffers with smiles on their faces. Getting in or out after hours is a bit confusing as they lock the gates but other than that, no problems. Most people are there for the piece and quiet and relaxing. Visit nearby Botany Bay Plantation WMA for a unique visit.
GuideEdisto has a beach camping area and a wooded area. The option for RV or tent camping without all the excessive price.
RangerWe stayed at the Live Oaks portion of the campground which is on the marsh side and 1/2 mile from the beach. There are sites right on the beach that we will tryout next time. The Live Oaks sites are more private and shaded. It was a quiet campground. The bathrooms were okay, but not very clean. The bugs are very bad so bring bug repellant. The beach is beautiful and not crowded. The State Park is well-maintained.
GuideStay on the beach side, not in Live Oaks.
TravelerWe went to this campground in the middle of June. Great campground, great site. Some sites are full sun, and as it was around 100 degrees every day, that could be a problem for some. It’s right on the edge of the town so it’s easy to walk or bicycle around. The only complaint I had was there is no dump station on site. I had to load my “blue tank “ into my truck and take it about a mile or so down the road to dump. Our site had water and electric, but was told the water was salty. To be honest, I didn’t drink it but we used it for everything else, and it was fine. Park was clean, staff friendly.
GuideMy fiancé and I camp here in January of 2017 right before my birthday. The campground is gorgeous, with showers, white sandy beaches, and wifi for you glampers out there. Unfortunately for us it was absolutely freezing and we couldn’t enjoy the beach, but we hiked all the trails there in two days and I can’t begin to say how beautiful the ecosystem is. I’d love to stay there for a week and see even more. Definitely family friendly. I will definitely go back.
Travelerwe had a great spot to set up. the people that work there where super helpful when arriving. We did have a very short drive to the beach from our camp. Also short trip to great places to eat. the beach was great. I wish they had beach camping available that day. but it was already sold out. The bathrooms where clean.
GuideThisCampground is by far our favorite. We had a nice level back in sight with some shade from palm trees. This site had a marsh in the background and was steps from the beach. This campground has two loops. We have only stayed in the beach loop. If you stay in the Live Oak Loop it would be a drive to the beach. It is not a walkable distance. Our site was Sandy but packed down and easy to park and back into.We had hook ups for electric and water but had to stop at the dump station down the road for sewer. The water is potable but salty so they recommend a filter or bringing drinking water. We ended up bringing our own drinking water because it was salty even with the water filter. They do sell firewood at the campground for seven dollars a bundle and we got ours for about five dollars a bundle at the Bilo across the street. The Bilo has just about everything you could need for groceries. Lines were long but prices were about average. The price for this campground is a littlemoreThan most but worth it to be right on the beach. Sites fill up quickly so definitely book ahead for this one. We happen to get a last-minute cancellation and felt so lucky. This was an amazing trip and I hope we can stay longer next time. It was relatively quiet, there are areas for kids to ride bikes. No pool or play ground but who needs that with the beach right there. This was a very dog friendly beach and Campground.
