Best Campgrounds in South Carolina

Lots and lots of trees. Need to drive very slowly to campsite. All sites sand based. Lots of trees on some of the camping sites one would need to navigate around. Our site was on a corner, level and easy to get into - 34 ft class A with toad. Lots of room to park our car. Sites have picnic table and fire ring. At first we were thinking “ we wouldn’t come back” as the park has a bit of a worn down, overgrown with trees, shrubbery look. However, we adjusted to that and decided it was a good stop.Lots and lots of dogs. We travel with a dog and lots of places, trails to walk. Off season so, our dog enjoyed a run on the beach everyday. It’s noisy during the day with planes flying over (nearby airport) &barking dogs. Especially over the weekend. Much quieter during the week. Fishing pier, two stores, easy walk from campground to beach. Full hookup sites. We would definitely come back.

One of the nicest little campgrounds you'll ever find! Site 1 has a great view of the pond, a private gazebo, fire pit and picnic tables and chairs. Site 2 is very similar but adds a hot tub.

Very nice campground. Has boat docks & launching ramp. Nice fishing pier. Clean bathrooms. Staff friendly and helpful. Seen several Deer, Armadillo and other wildlife I will stay here again.

Nice clean campground. Every employee was friendly and helpful.

Booking online was great. No checking in just go to site and all tags are waiting for you at site. No problems. They have 4 separate bathrooms that are clean and well kept. You can only reserve a site for 14 days at a time. If you would like to stay longer you need to change sites.

We were at campground in the off season and had no problems getting another site.

This is my favorite SC park (so far). Several waterfalls are in the area, plus fishing lakes and swimming beach. Lots of outdoorsy things to do, and beautiful views of Table Rock from the Mountain Laurel Campground. The White Oak Campground is hillier. I stayed here over New Year's and did a ranger-led First Day Hike.

Nice place to stay. Eady on off I 95. Bath facilities not great but workable.

Lovely grounds and shop. Had an ice cream social that you could pay for. Facilities were clean.

Lakewood Camping Resort is a fantastic family getaway, located just a stone's throw from the beach. With 1,300 sites, including oceanfront and lakefront options, it offers a variety of accommodations suitable for both tent campers and RV travelers. 

The water park, complete with slides and a lazy river, is a highlight for families, providing plenty of ways to stay cool. The well-maintained facilities, like clean restrooms and showers, make it a comfortable stay. Guests can enjoy a range of activities, from a mini-golf course and arcade to free bike rentals and beach activities. A golf cart parade in the evening adds a fun, festive atmosphere to the campground. 

For those seeking a little adventure outside the resort, Myrtle Beach attractions like Broadway on the Beach are nearby. With plenty of amenities, daily activities, and special events year-round, Lakewood Camping Resort guarantees a fun and memorable experience for everyone.

We camped at Hunting Island over a long weekend and had a great time. We were in a 30 foot 5th wheel and stayed in site 95. In my opinion it was one of the best sites there. Nice size and lots of vegetation surrounding. The beach was just over the dunes. We couldn’t see the beach or ocean from our site but it was just a short walk away. The store was well stocked and people were very friendly. The tent sites looked very nice and if I was still tent camping I’d definitely be happy with the accommodation. They are also easier access to the beach. We had water and electric at our site. Two Dump stations available and were easy in and out. Bathhouse in each area was nice and clean. We visited Beaufort and fell in love with the cute town! Lots of water view restaurants to choose from. From the nature center we explored the path to the boneyard and was glad we took the 15 minute walk out there. Enjoyed our time and will definitely be back!

Wonderful park with plenty of amenities! We stayed here in October when the water park/pool was closed, but there was still plenty to do with bike rentals and the outdoor adventure area.

So I stayed during November and December. County and state parks are usually relatively and expensive although this one is more on the higher end. And coupled with the fact that they have a light show through the park. The traffic was incredible at night. I really think they should give a discount during this time of year because of the inconvenience of having to deal with the traffic.

Should you be driving an RV, hitched to a 5th Wheeler or hauling a trailer, whatever your mobile camping experience might be, there’s 116 campsite options to choose from here at James Island Co Park, which offers both pull-through & back-in sites (maximum 80 feet), which provide a great launching pad to explore more than 643 acres of pure outdoor bliss offering perhaps one of the most expansive list of amenities and attractions (see more below). Once you arrive here at this RV Campground from James Island Parkway, you’ll pass the Ranger Station and will circumnavigate the circle-like exterior of the park until you arrive to this very CG, turn right and check-in at the main office, which also serves as the CG marketplace.

This RV Campground is basically the expanse of 2 lateral football fields with an east and west side, dissected on the east side by 3 simple short lanes and a restroom / shower / laundry facility located right in the middle. Over on the west side, there’s a single loop that isn’t dissected at all, but has a second, narrower loop on its northern flank, where hereto, a central restroom / shower / laundry facility has been plotted right in the middle of this circuitous loop.

RV Campground Amenities include: FHUs with 20 / 30 / 50 amp electric, water & sewage, 24-hour staffing, activity center, super-clean, new bathhouses and restrooms, designated dump station, complimentary WiFi, campground marketplace, coin-operated laundr-O-mat, stand-up grills / BBQs, fire rings, picnic tables, propane-refueling station, trash / recyclable containers, cottages available to rent as well as ice + firewood for sale.

Situated just north of where your RV is anchored is the Outdoor Zone featuring a 50 foot climbing wall, obstacle challenge course, 1K sq ft bouldering wall and slackline that will have you and your brood enjoying these backwoods in no time. West of this Outdoor Zone is an 18-hole disc golf course and back towards the center of the park is a Splash Zone Waterpark complete with (2) 200 foot waterslides, 500 foot long lazy river, leisure pool & rainforest play structure, kid’s playground as well as a boat house with kayak, pedal boat and canoe rentals along with direct access to a small lake, round-trip shuttle service (to the nearby Convention& Visitor Bureau, Folly Beach Pier of Folly Beach County Park), Spray Play Waterpark, K9 park, crabbing & fishing dock, 16K acres of freshwater lakes, Santee Stage for live music and events, 4 individual group shelters and countless picnic tables in addition to 5+ miles of paved paths offering hiking / biking bliss.

Insider’s Tips? Here’s a few: (1) If you are one of those RV campers that come towing a Jeep behind them or have somehow managed to transport a golf cart with you and find that the slot you’ve been given doesn’t adequately provide enough space for everything including your RV (let alone the additional transport you’ve brought) have no fear, as there’s substantial, additional parking that exists right in front of the Group Camping area, just due north of where you are stationed; (2) I found it hard to believe that with over 100 sites there was only 2 restroom / shower facilities and every time we tried to use the showers, there was a waiting line – so given this, timing is EVERYTHING as normally everyone is heading to get their showers first thing in the morning – so I highly recommend you either get up SUPER early or simply change your shower schedule to mid-afternoon or early evening; (3) In the event that you wanna try something other than what you’ve been whipping up from the confines of your on-board mini-fridge or roto-molded Cordova cooler, then nearby there’s mediocre fast food options like Zaxby’s or Bojangles, but if you’re OK to drive a smidge further, there’s a great joint called Bohemian Bull that’s one part restaurant / one part outdoor tavern of which I highly recommend the fried green tomatoes and bar-b-cuban sandwich; (4) Should you need to stock up on any supplies while here, there is the county park store over in the RV Campground, but for anything more substantial, just about 5 minutes south of this CG you’ll find a Walmart Supercenter; and (5) IMHO the best slots in this RV exclusive campground are those on the perimeter with the best sites being the ones without anything behind them, specifically on the NW periphery with sites #46 - 55; along the westernmost side with sites #20, #21, #23, #24 and #26.

Happy Camping!
