Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Andrews, SC

One big campground with a lot of amenities. Nice people. Good size sites with concret pads and patio that accommodate larger rigs but the roads between the sites can be tight. Kid and pet friendly. Wish it had a dog park. Very large camp store, large laundry facility and water park. Very fairly price considering the he amenities. We’ll be back.

My wife and I were looking fora tent-camping place along the I-95 corridor in South Carolina during spring break and weren't having much luck.  We decided to stay here and it was a great choice.  They are doing a lot of upgrades to make it a place to actual stay and enjoy with a splash pad, climbing wall, dog park and horse stalls.  The RV/Tent sites were all sandy and shaded and very spacious.  The bathrooms were very clean with two showers in each (MF).   We stayed there on a Saturday night and had the place to ourselves.  The next morning we hiked the nature trail and wetlands boardwalk and other trails on a hour-long walk before hitting the road.  Looking forward to another stay when we pass that way next.

A lot to do for kids. Close to mount p shopping. There’s an on site dog park that dogs can swing in the lake as well. There’s also frisbee golf on site.

This is a nice KOA with several amenities. Very friendly staff and helpful. We would stay again. They even have a dog park that has access to the lake, so your water dogs can take a swim without the worry of alligators!!!

Great experience and highly recommend. Check in was easy, the sites are very clean and for us, the dog park with astro turf was the greatest along with the wifi being excellent.

Eeasy to get to...lots of things to do...great tiny houses to stay in...wonderful dog park with a dog wash...great pools...great water park and golf...OUTSIDE eating excellent....bathrooms well maintained....surroundings and sites well thought out... helpful people   like Tommy...worth the price

This is an awesome campground about 15 minutes from the beach. Sites are very well kept and not stacked on top of each other. Nice pool and kids pool fishing pier to main waterway and fishing pond. Staff is great also has a nice dog park and food/ice cream in the cafe.

This is a fantastic campground. The staff is friendly and helpful. The grounds are very well maintained. There are activities offered including a wagon ride through a plantation. There is a pool. They offer bike rental, along with kayak/paddle boat rentals. There’s a great dog park our pups loved. We paid a little extra for a deluxe site with full hookups and a lake view. The deluxe site also had a concrete pad, brick fire pit, and a swing. It was a shady spot with big oak trees. There is a nice camp store. The location of this campground is perfect near stores, restaurants, and not far from the beach.

Quick 1 night stay Aug 31, 2023. Fast check in. Nice info packet upon arrival. They even had a free kitchen trash bag in it. They pick up trash at your site. Paved, not completely level, but close. Had enough room to stay hooked up to 36' 5th wheel, plus park a car sideways in front of truck. Just like all KOA's the place is well maintained and spotless restrooms. All employees kind and happy looking. Nice dog park. Had a 30lb propane tank filled at what I would consider a decent price. There were other amenities, but we didn't use them. A little bit of a noisy area, but we've been in worse. Would stay again.

Campground was clean. Very nice lake and swimming area. Nice pool, pet friendly.

Not sure how people can be so cruel, kindness can go a long way. We stayed out here for about 3 months, in those three months so much happened, it’s unreal. Was informed a worker specifically frank“abuses his animals and had multiple taken and is a felon” well I’ve watched him have incidents with others and they continue to stick with him. May 26th around 7pm me and my fiancé were going to the dog park when the gate wouldn’t work, which it doesn’t half of the time. The high school worker told us to help him push up on the gate so we did. Frank pulled up and cussed out my fiancé saying“the gate was more than his yearly paycheck” called him“dumb”“stupid” a“f***ing idiot” and so much more. I rolled down the window and all I said was“it wasn’t just him” and he kept telling me to shut up. We went to talk to the manager Crissy and she told me“she isn’t a kindergarten teacher, I shouldn’t have said anything and the boy is 12 why would I listen to him”(he’s in high school and a worker)“nothing she can do”.. if you’re reading this.. you probably went about your night and never thought of it again, I spent days thinking about it, and playing it back.. You never know what goes on in someone else’s life, nor their story, a little kindness could’ve helped this place a ton. If you move out here everyone will tell you it’s“sh**” the people are“sh**”“keep to yourself and don’t say anything” and“they want to move but no where is as cheap” thankfully we had a backup option that worked out perfectly. For the people that read this far, in the short time I was here a neighbor threatened to shoot me and my dog at 7:45am(nothing was done), another neighbor come in while we weren’t home, took my dog, and brought her back later never informing me. Can’t have a large dog pen, because we would look like trailer park trash, can’t have a wood table, looks like trailer park trash, can’t set a trash bag outside to take off, looks like trailer park trash. But then there are others that live in horse trailers. Very much a pick and choose place.

I agree with the other reviewer. My opinion is very strong about this place but will try to stick with facts. If you have to stay overnight due to traveling through, this would be adequate. A lot of the campers are there for work and are more permanent. Not super family friendly of a campground. Even though we visited at the beginning of December, it appeared unkept. Unsure what it would be like in the spring/summer. Dirty is how my husband and I described it. Most of the “roads” are paved which works out nice for a stroller. The dog park is a fenced in area only with swing, trash can and picnic table. They do not allow dogs to be tied up. In their words “must have an owner attached”. We have a 90lb Lab and 4 lb Yorkie. During the day, if the weather is nice, the dogs prefer outside on most occasions, as are we. The lab is not aggressive in the slightest bit and doesn’t bark without reason or at all. We received a warning from the campground via a note on the door for him being outside on a short lead to be within their rules. Never mind the yappy other dogs in the park where owners stroll through multiple times a day and allow their dog to poop on your campsite without cleaning it up and other better hidden sites with dogs tied up. The biggest part of the warning that frustrated me was that I wasn’t told directly. Instead I saw the lady comping through the site and asked could I help her (she stuck the warning on the door) even though I was clearly there and she saw me multiple times going to the laundry, strolling around with the dogs, etc. Approaching me directly about a rule violation or a complaint from a fellow camper (as I assume is what sparked the warning), etc would have been much more preferred. The playground is small but in good working condition and has an infant swing which is nice. Laundry area is sufficient and easily accessible. Some camp sites have old picnic tables and look run down but you can tel they are slowly switching them out. We stayed at a deluxe site (C15) with a fire pit, swing, outdoor seating, etc right on the end of a row. This appeared ideal until we saw all the foot traffic that came by with their multiple dogs (sometimes as many as 2/3 per person). If there has to be a next time, we would select the deluxe spot a little further up from C15, towards the middle of that row. We also believe some the the foot traffic came from the neighboring trailer park. The general area of the camp ground is very accessible to grocery stores, restaurants and convenience stores. There is a lot of noise from the highway, airplanes (which my son and husband love) and workers getting up early (5:30am) to go to job sites. During high traffic times, it can take 30-45 min to get to downtown Charleston so be aware. For our next trip to Charleston we will plan more in advance and book early at a different place.

We spend three nights at Ocean Lakes. I didn't have much contact with any on the staff except for check in and the one night we ate there at their little resteraunt. Staff wasn't overly friendly, but no one was rude. The campsite was roomier than I actually expected, we were in K section and had a concrete pad, our site was very level with a large tree. We were a short walk away from the beach! Overall our stay was enjoyable. The bath houses were clean, and the campground well maintained. We did have dog waste on our site when we arrived, so that was kind of gross, but overall people seemed to pick up after their pets. If you like quiet I would avoid the weekends in October, due to their Halloween celebration. Lots of kids on golf carts, speed limit is 10 MPH but it wasn't enforced on Friday night as far as I could tell, we had a couple of close calls. Quiet time is at 11 and on Friday night it was noisy past midnight, but the two nights before that the campground was very laid back and quiet. The pool was very cold (off season) but my son still loved it and it is a very nice area. The beach is the best part, it was beautiful! Overall I recommend this campground, and we will stay here again!
