7 campgrounds with availability next weekend
Several RV parks near Hanahan provide full hookup accommodations for various rig sizes. Lake Aire RV Park in Hollywood offers spacious sites with 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections. Foster Creek RV Park and Villas in Goose Creek maintains military-affiliated sites with full hookups, though reviews suggest managing expectations about amenities. Tiny Town RV Campground features 16 pull-through sites with level pads, clever plumbing housed in whiskey barrels, and 20/30/50-amp power options. New Green Acres RV Park in Walterboro accommodates big rigs with full hookup sites including water, electric, and sewer. "The sites are spacious, complete with a picnic table, firepit, 2 lantern poles, and electrical hookups, with a dump station at the back of the campground."
Most RV parks in the region maintain year-round operations, making advance reservations highly recommended during peak travel seasons. Cell service varies significantly between locations—Verizon coverage rates from excellent to spotty depending on the specific park. Dump stations are available at Lake Aire and several other parks, though not all facilities offer this service on-site. Many campgrounds accommodate pets with designated areas, and some feature fish ponds for recreation. According to one review, the Mount Pleasant-Charleston KOA provides "spacious" concrete pad sites with brick fire pits, though these premium spots command higher rates than standard water/electric sites. Propane refill stations can be found at select locations, with several parks offering on-site firewood sales for convenience.
"IF you meet the qualifications to stay (military affiliated), this is REALLY close to the Navy Nuke School!"
"Easy to get in and out of the campground with our 28 foot travel trailer. Pull thru, level sites. Peaceful location surrounded by trees."
"All the basics, no frills.. they do have plans on creating activities for the guest. 2 dog runs, fire pit, sand box for the kiddos. It is about 25 minutes off highway 95."

"Campground is adding several new full hookup sites probably will be ready in spring of ‘23. Several long term guests that can be noisy at times."
"Verizon worked well, good OTA TV, from our spot I-1 we couldn't get satellite, but others would have been just fine. Nice place to walk the dogs. Nice pond for fishing."
"It’s very nice and peaceful here. It is a bit rustic without a fire ring at each campsite. They do have a central fire ring and kayaks for rent along with a couple of peddle boats."

"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."

ScoutAbsolutely run down. The showers are very dated and need maintenance. Each rv site has a sewer site, but half smell of sewage, badly. Website advertised wifi, but once I was booked, I was given a site map that had that feature crossed out with marker. No signal at all. The fire pit ring is so rusted it looks like lace. I am going to see about getting it replaced. All in all. NOT worth $300 for 4 nights.
ScoutThis campgrounds has an abundance of camp spots that are well spaced. About 1/4 of the spots appear to be occupied by long term guests.
It has an old swing set for kids and a large/life-size chess set near the pavilion. They also have a pool that closed Oct. 1st.
Some camp spots have a concrete slab, while others are only grass. The water faucet is old but functions and the whole place is just tired…like they are doing enough to get by.
The staff were polite enough but not overly helpful. They’ll answer questions, but if you need them to actually do something…they might get around to it but don’t hold your breath.
They have strict dog rules but yet have a few cats roaming freely. One cat perched itself on our steps, repeatedly meowing and wanting in. We shooed it away, but it kept returning. We talked to a few different staff about it and each said the cats were for the mice and dismissed our concern.
This place was priced higher than the other nearby places, but we gave it a chance because of higher reviews and supposed to be closer to Charleston. But the traffic is horrible on hwy 17, the place is rundown/tired, the staff lean on the side of indifferent and we’re still a good 45 minutes from most attractions.
I wouldn’t recommend staying here…there are better options.
ScoutHunting camp with good level camping spots. Vault bathrooms and potable water. We still used filter. Dirt road and trails to hike. Ranger stops by daily which makes it safe
ScoutGreat location. Great facilities
ScoutVery quiet campground. The campers and staff are all very nice. Will definitely come back!
GuideWe love the Live oaks campground in Edisto Beach State Park. Level sites with plenty of privacy. We are in site 120 this trip and we have stayed in sites 118 and 122 on previous trips. these sites back onto the salt marsh which gives you some incredible scenery just behind the site
GuideMost campers are here to go out shrimping. It’s a beautiful, small campground with level sites, some shade, electric and water hookups and tent sites right along the water. The bathroom could use an update but it was very clean and the shower was roomy and hot enough. A dump station is available. I understand the park will close after shrimp season (mid November..?) for updates. I lucked out on a first come, first serve site for the night. I’d definitely stay here again.
LegendYou’ll find this hidden campground VERY far off the beaten trail (and trust me, this trail is as beaten up a road as you’ll find just about anywhere in South Carolina, so you'll want to drive down the lane here SLOW) on the easternmost side of Lake Marion off Ferguson Landing in southeastern part of the great Palmetto State. Given its direct access to Lake Marion, the place gets high marks for its location, but lower marks for overall upkeep and the basic downtrodden nature of the place. You’ll be impressed by the shallow water access and boat launch here, where you’ll have to maneuver around scores of submerged Cypress trees, which makes for quite the enchanting entry to Lake Marion, which if you weren’t aware, offers up 315 miles of shoreline, spans 110,000 square acres or 174 square miles and is the largest lake in South Carolina.
That said, IMHO Taylor’s Landing could use a serious bit of refurbishment and grooming, including the grounds themselves, which were quite overgrown when we stopped by. There is a general store of sorts on-site that sells sundries, ice and most camping needs as well as providing propane tanks for sale. Overall, this place is built more for the RV’ing crowd, although they do offer a few places for tent campers, but don’t offer much in terms of amenities. There was a communal dog area that was pretty worn down right near the area designated for tent camping, which given that most of the dog owners didn’t take their dogs for a walk, the smell emanating from this area was enough for us to decide not to camp here for the night. The entire CG is wide open without any benefit of shade or privacy between sites, although the perimeter has a nice treeline.
Insider’s tip? Here’s a few: (1) If you are a history buff, then you’ll be lured nearby to discover the Sunken Ghost Town of Ferguson, which was once a Congaree Indian Village, which we could access with our kayaks to explore; (2) There is a sandy beachhead that you’ll discover on one of the few trails you’ll come across here at Taylor’s Landing; (3) From an entertainment standpoint, this CG does offer up some interesting creative options during different times of the year – when we were there during the latter part of October, they offered up a ‘Trail of Terror’ for Halloween; (4) If you want to get your hike on, right nearby is Santee Cooper Nature Trail, which makes for some relative easy-to-modest hiking; (5) There’s nothing out in these parts, so if you want to grab a bite to eat, you’ll need to head back to Eutawville where there’s a few mom & pop joints like Tricia’s Café, Sweatman’s BBQ and Casters at Bells; (6) The fishing dock here is solid and offers great opportunity to reel in largemouth bass, catfish, striped bass, crappie and panfish like bluegill; and (7) The best asset here at Taylor's Landing is the fairly EZ to access boat launch that will have you in Lake Marion in no time flat, whether you have a motorized boat or a simple kayak or canoe.
Overall, Taylor's Landing could be a nice place, just in dire need of some upgrades and overall maintenance.
Happy Camping!
TravelerWe were traveling with two large dogs and looking for a pet friendly site. This is a people friendly site so many game playing areas swimming pool and clean manicured lawns with a lake view on some sites.
The Hanahan area sits at approximately 20 feet above sea level in South Carolina's Low Country, where warm humid summers and mild winters make year-round camping feasible. Most campgrounds in this region feature flat terrain with sandy soil that drains well after typical afternoon thunderstorms. Mobile coverage varies significantly between carriers across the camping areas southwest of Hanahan.
Fishing opportunities: Lake Moultrie offers excellent fishing for striped bass, channel catfish and bream. At Johnston Landing Campground & Cabins, campers can rent paddle boats, kayaks and row boats. "Once you successfully navigate all of the backroads past Lake Marion and directly on the shores of Lake Moultrie, you'll eventually find a small nook in the road where you'll discover Johnston Landing," notes one reviewer.
Hiking trails: The Palmetto Trail, about 5 miles from Johnston Landing, features sunken giant Cypress trees and wildlife viewing. "One of the best hikes in all of South Carolina—the Palmetto Trial is just about 5 miles away, but is definitely worth the hike as here you'll be able to witness first hand the sunken giant Cypress trees, amazing bird watching (Ospreys and Herons in particular)," reports a camper.
Charleston exploration: Lake Aire RV Park serves as a convenient base for Charleston visits. "Good location for those wanting to visit the Charleston area without the hustle and bustle of the traffic. Close to Edisto beaches as well which is a good spot for the beaches," shares one reviewer. Another notes it's "About 25 minutes to downtown."
Peaceful surroundings: RV's Acres offers a quiet camping experience with wildlife viewing opportunities. "Several 30amp sites with on-site water & plenty of space for more dispersed type off-grid camping. The last time I was here (4 days ago) 2 does & a fawn came lopping/walking through the property," reports one camper.
Clean facilities: Campgrounds maintain varying levels of cleanliness. At Palmetto Shores RV Resort, "This park is really nice and clean! You can tell that it is well taken care of. The sites are large and far enough apart," notes a reviewer. Another camper adds they have "Large sites with full hook-ups. Lots of amenities on the premises, including a really good restaurant!"
Easy highway access: For travelers passing through, New Green Acres RV Park provides convenient interstate access. "This campground is right off 95 and very easy to access. Loud highway noise, but tolerable. Tall trees everywhere," shares one reviewer. Another points out, "All pull through. Easy Easy in and out. Quiet even tho close to I95."
Military affiliation requirements: Some rv sites near Hanahan, South Carolina limit access to military personnel. At Foster Creek RV Park and Villas, "Would be great but as stated you must qualify to stay," notes one visitor. Another explains, "IF you meet the qualifications to stay (military affiliated), this is REALLY close to the Navy Nuke School!"
Highway noise levels: Campgrounds near interstates experience road noise. New Green Acres has "Very convenient location off of I-95 but very noisy even inside your camper." Similarly, at Palmetto Shores, "Our sites were right next to the highway, I will say though we did tune the noise out the longer we stayed (and drank)."
Facility maintenance varies: Some campgrounds face maintenance challenges. At Foster Creek, one camper reported, "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."
Look for kid-friendly amenities: Tiny Town RV Campground is developing family activities. "They were working on an axe throwing building and an activity area for kids when we were there," notes one reviewer. Another mentions, "2 dog runs, fire pit, sand box for the kiddos."
Consider pools and water features: Palmetto Shores RV Resort offers water recreation options. "Palmetto shores has a nice outdoor activity area, a nice lake beach and a really nice pool and lazy River," reports a camper who visited with family.
Check seasonal operations: Most campgrounds near Hanahan remain open year-round. Johnston Landing operates "All year" according to their listing. Hill's Landing between Lakes Marion and Moultrie makes for an excellent family destination with "newly graded pull-through spots and a very easy paved boat landing to maneuver around, along with a private dock."
Site layout and hookups: At Tiny Town RV Campground, "Pull thru, level sites. Peaceful location surrounded by trees. All the sites have 20, 30 and 50 amp power, and a water hook up. The plumbing at each site is housed in whiskey barrels which we thought was a clever idea."
Budget considerations: While seeking rv sites near Hanahan, South Carolina, compare rates carefully. Ladson RV Park runs higher for long-term stays: "Currently, the monthly price begins at $1100." Meanwhile, Foster Creek offers competitive rates: "It's $35! Spots are flat, full power and water."
Site length accommodations: RVers with larger rigs should note New Green Acres has "really really long spaces. It's great for when towing a long trailer too but be mindful that there is a whole pile of trees. So when making reservations make sure you let them know you need something long but also easily accessible too."
