What to do
Fishing opportunities: The canal between Lakes Marion and Moultrie provides excellent fishing spots near Hill's Landing & RV Park. One visitor noted, "This spot is perfectly situation between the two on a tributary of a slow-moving waterway dubbed Diversion Canal that connects the two... Here you'll find newly graded pull-through spots and a very easy paved boat landing to maneuver around, along with a private dock."
Blueberry picking: Seasonal activities include fruit picking at certain campgrounds in spring. At Black Pearl Farms, a camper shared this tip: "Come in May. Fresh blueberries!" The farm offers multiple camping spots in a wooded area behind the main blueberry fields.
Riverside relaxation: Some campgrounds provide direct river access for swimming and kayaking. A Black Pearl Farms visitor commented, "Beautiful, well maintained site beside the Edisto river, just as advertised! Private, peaceful, just what we were looking for."
What campers like
Spacious sites: Many RV parks prioritize roomy camping spaces. A visitor at Palmetto Shores RV Resort remarked, "The sites are large and far enough apart; but be mindful of the site you pick! Our sites were right next to the highway, I will say though we did tune the noise out the longer we stayed."
Wildlife viewing: Several campgrounds offer opportunities to see local wildlife. At RV's Acres, a camper reported, "The last time I was here 2 does & a fawn came lopping/walking through the property. There is a beautiful private pond on property and the owner does allow catch/release."
Recreational facilities: Amenities beyond basic camping are common at larger establishments. One guest at Palmetto Shores RV Resort stated, "Palmetto shores has a nice outdoor activity area, a nice lake beach and a really nice pool and lazy River."
What you should know
Site selection matters: Highway noise can impact some camping locations. A camper at Palmetto Shores RV Resort cautioned, "Our sites were right next to the highway, I will say though we did tune the noise out the longer we stayed (and drank)."
Maintenance varies: Facilities range from new to needing updates. A reviewer noted about Palmetto Shores: "Such a beautiful location but price doesn't match the upkeep. If you pay resort style prices (in which you do) you shouldn't have to work on shower heads in the bath house... Should spend money on repairs for sure. Everything is outdated."
Navigation challenges: Some camping areas have address or GPS issues. One Black Pearl Farms visitor warned, "CAUTION: The directions provided by The Dyrt to this location are incorrect. It is not located on Sand Hill. So please use Google Maps to find the location or you will be down a long dirt road with no place to turn around."
Tips for camping with families
Look for kid-friendly amenities: Some parks offer multiple recreational options for families. At Palmetto Shores RV Resort, a camper observed they have "a nice outdoor activity area, a nice lake beach and a really nice pool and lazy River."
Dog-friendly options: Many campgrounds accommodate pets with designated areas. A visitor at Wateree Lake RV Park & Marina shared, "The beach area is super nice to spend a day on the water with your family."
Security considerations: Gated entry provides peace of mind at some locations. A Wateree Lake RV Park visitor mentioned, "They have a security gate to keep passers by out. They have a nice deck near the boat ramp and have a little bar in the office."
Tips from RVers
Site utilities vary: Some parks have limited hookups despite advertising. A camper at Black Pearl Farms explained, "We were in spot 3 which had 'access to power and water'. Which was true, but not what I assumed. The site was a few yards away from a wash area to get water from and there was a 12 volt power cord outside to plug into."
Internet connectivity: WiFi quality differs between parks. One guest at Wateree Lake RV Park commented, "Also had better than average/strong Wi-Fi!" while others have reported variable connection strength.
Long-term options: Some parks offer monthly rates for extended stays. At Magnolia Campground RV Park, a resident noted, "Call for prices, mine is below $400 a month" with amenities including "50 AMP Hookups, City Water, Gray/Black Dump at each site, Cable TV, Internet."
