    No frills

    Overnight stop, kinda tight getting off the 2 lane road into the entrance. Not too far from 95. Traffic was noisy as we had a spot right up front. Works for an overnight but nothing more.

    Great camp site!

    We stayed here for our son’s first birthday, in campsite 30! It was beautiful and we felt like we had plenty of privacy. Our site had a trail attached to the back of it which was really nice for hiking and it was perfect distance from the bathroom! On the topic of the bathroom, the toilets were CLEAN! And I mean we were there for 24 hours and the bathroom was cleaned at least twice. Really nice, they might look a little scary on the outside though but don’t mind that any bit.

    For people that love hammocks, site 29 (right next to ours) has a bunch of perfect hammock trees. If we go again we will try to stay in that spot! Great place to stay.

    Cheap place to stay - temper your expectations

    Ok.... So it was only $35 per night, so keep that in mind! IF you meet the qualifications to stay (military affiliated), this is REALLY close to the Navy Nuke School! Yes - the camp hosts are salty, as are some of the long term residents (like the people in the first spot on the right), but... It's $35! Spots are flat, full power and water, bathrooms MAY now be under construction, and the lady you book with in building across from the bowling alley is super sweet! 😁

    Small and peaceful under the pines

    We stopped heading south and north along I-95 to and from Florida.  Very easy off and on I-95.  Plenty of available spaces in off-season.  The campground is small and quiet.  Camp Host was very helpful. Sites were spaced reasonably far apart but there is no privacy between.  Not all sites have a water view, but most appeared fairly level. Not all sites have sewer access.  Our only complaint was lots of smoke from campfires and grills. Would stay again.

    Santee State Park is a beautiful forested park by the lake. There is a visitor/registration center as well as a store on the lake with many activities: boating, fishing, kayaking, biking, kids playground,walking trails, rental cabins. There is electric and water hookup at the sites and sewer and dumpster on exit. The facilities are centrally located and clean. There are variety of pull in and back in sites, as well as tent camping. Our visit here was peaceful, quiet and enjoyable. Will go back.

    Peaceful, good trails

    We were at site 46, which is near the entrance and the camp host. Short walk to the bathhouse directly behind. Site has good trees for a hammock and near a path down to the lake for fishing/picnic/swimming. Beware there is a sharp drop off across from the site, so make sure whoever is backing in has a spotter out front.

    Very quaint little campground.

    Stopped on the way to Maggie Valley NC. Nice half way spot from Fl. Full hookups available. Our 35 ft rv fit perfect in the spot. They are dirt/sand sites. The camp store wasn’t opened when we were there for the 1 night. Right beside a cow farm to look at. A fishing pond is available but the water was super murky. Everyone was friendly. Fire pit available. Would recommend. Super cool playground with an awesome swing. See video. 😊

    Spectacular Location

    Super friendly staff, great location, waterfront camping and I can bring my boat. We had a great time. The problem is all the annual residents don’t follow their own rules. No one is supposed to drive trough the campsites, people were driving trough and walking through our campsite at all hours.

    1 Nighter

    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.

    Black Pearl Farms

    Rustic

    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.

    Black Pearl Farms fit most of our expectations.  However, I did make some poor assumptions regarding the information.  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.

    Our dog loved having the space to roam around and the camping spots were in a wooded area behind the farm.  We stayed in number 3, but if we return our preference would be for number 2.

    Anyway, it was a nice spot once we arrived.

    Convenient location

    The location is very convenient to most areas in town. We enjoyed the Fun Park next door. Our campsite was extremely close to the neighbor so a fire was out of the question. Bathrooms were kinda dirty every time we went in there

    great campground!

    super easy and quick check-in, we only stayed for one night due to the heat but we loved what we got to see of the park! super family + group oriented which was nice for me and my bf since its just us 2 and kids in the tents around us didnt really come back to the primative area until sundown, so we got to sit by the fire and relax! our dogs loved the beautiful trails. will definitely be back in cooler weather!

    Great campsite for tent or RV

    Very big campsite.

    You drive in and there's multiple campsites for your tent, Car or RV.

    There's a large clean toilet cabin (not a basic privy).

    It's next to a tall tower.

    Fire area with picnic table.

    Nice, no frills, stop over campsite

    We stopped here for a night on our way back to Florida. We were on C5 which was a very large pull through and relatively level. We did not even have to bring out our leveling blocks, the auto leveler was able to handle it well. Power was stable and water pressure was good. Only things we did not like is that every site was just dirt and there was not much shade at our site.

    RV's Acres (he's the dog)

    A little off the beaten path, but well worth the effort.

    Several 30amp sites with on-site water & plenty of space for more dispersed type off-grid camping.  I've been staying here for 3 or 4 years and every time it's been a very pleasant experience.  The last time I was here (4 days ago) 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.

    In summary, I highly recommend this campground. It's well worth the short drive off the Interstate.

    RV - the owner prefers chicken jerky treats broken up very small.

    Peaceful and quiet

    A very peaceful and friendly atmosphere in a country setting. The owners are very friendly and well mannered country people. Everyone that we met were polite and liked sharing. It does have a fishing pond and the guest are welcome to use it. I would recommend everyone that comes through St. George to visit this lovely place whether it’s one night to rest, a few days to get away, stop in. Pet friendly and has a playground for the kids to play .

    Dilapidated

    We were here in 2018 and park was great. Not so much now. Several sites are out of commission and the grounds are in bad need of maintenance. No bathrooms,showers,laundry,wifi,cable, and Verizon is sketchy. Host is not very helpful. The place is pretty quiet though with only a few rv'ers staying. Pads are cement and level but close together. Can't recommend staying here even for half the money.

    Stayed at famcamp on our way to FL, also stayed in November 2022.  Love this place.

    Has long paved patio, everything was super clean.  The host cleans the patios after each rv pulls out.  The restrooms are clean the host/hostess' are very kind and helpful.  I loved watching and hearing the planes take off and taps and reveille were a plus.  Nice golf course and playground and also good place to ride the bike around the base.

    So glad hubby is retired military to enjoy this place!
