Best Glamping near Harleyville, SC

283 Reviews

Givhans Ferry State Park Campground combines rustic charm with modern comforts through its glamping accommodations along the scenic Edisto River. The park's luxury canvas tents feature comfortable beds, electricity, and private decks overlooking the water, while still maintaining a connection to nature. Several sites include picnic tables, fire rings, and easy access to well-maintained shower facilities and restrooms. Just 25 miles from Harleyville, these glamping options provide an elevated outdoor experience with full hookup availability and convenient amenities. Nearby Santee Lakes KOA expands the glamping options with premium accommodations that include climate control, quality furnishings, and all the essentials for a comfortable stay. "Very nice and clean," noted one visitor who appreciated the upscale amenities that distinguish these sites from traditional camping.

Glamping guests at these parks enjoy direct access to the Edisto River for swimming, kayaking, and fishing without sacrificing comfort. Hiking trails wind along the riverbanks, offering scenic views and wildlife spotting opportunities throughout the 1.5-mile riverside trail system. The campgrounds provide firewood for purchase, making evening campfires effortless for guests. Both locations maintain proximity to Charleston's historic sites and local attractions while offering a peaceful natural retreat. Summer visitors particularly enjoy river tubing, with convenient access points and gentle currents. According to a camper, "We spent a lovely weekend at Givhans State Park. It's definitely a small park, and its big draw is its location on the Edisto River, with lovely river-tubing to boot." Year-round availability means these glamping resorts offer seasonal activities ranging from spring wildlife viewing to fall foliage experiences.

    Campground at James Island County Park

    Awesome Place to RV Camp

    We found this campground well maintained and quiet. The bath house was recently remodeled and now has air conditioning. I found it to be one of the nicest bath facilities we have ever used. The campsites have full RV hook-ups and come with a picnic table and fire ring. The park does allow pets and has a dog park with a beach; it seems like the pups were having a marvelous time playing chase on the beach.This is a County Park with trails for walking or leisure biking. A new water park is under construction and should open this summer. The camp store is well stocked and the staff was very friendly and helpful. One downside was the WIFI (one of the perks at this place) did not work the entire 5 days we were there. I need to work remotely so this was a BIG problem. I had to go to the Starbucks to work...bummer! Positives were the easy drive and parking at nearby Folly Beach during the week, and the close proximity to Historic Charleston.

    Nice Primitive camping area

    I like the primitive camping area. The bathroom and water source is nearby, as well as a pavilion/shelter. There are three sections, with multiple areas for camping in each one. Each has 2-3 tables and a fire ring. 

    I hammock camp, and there are plenty of trees useful for this purpose. This is primitive, so there is no electrical or water spout, although the bathroom has both. There is a 1 1/2 mile walking trail nearby, that runs along the Edisto River.

    I haven't actually frequented the other camping areas: RV drive-up and walk-in, so I can't review them.

    Campground at James Island County Park

    Great campground

    Sprawling park and campground right between Charleston and Folly Beach. There is a camp store which is well stocked and stays open till 8pm. The predominance of this campground is RV sites. The sites are well maintained and with enough space between each site.

    The tent camping site and group tent sites are hike-in. The hike in is really not that far at all from where you park your cars, so no worries. The individual tent sites sit back in the woods, with a nice tree canopy, which gives it a real "primitive" feel to it. The sites are raised and contain a gravel bed.

    There are bathrooms and private showers on site in a few locations. The bathroom and showers for the tent sites lay next to the group site, which is a short walk.

    Shopping and stores are on hwy 117, just a few short minutes from the park.

    Excellent Stop tucked off I95

    Stayed at #52 and it was very private, level, and clean!

    The gravel kept the camper clean; the deck with bench, table and chairs, gas fire pit was super nice; the grill with picnic table were awesome. The plot abuts the grassy area but wasn’t too buggy.

    We went on a walk with our girls around the camp site, to the doggy area (small bjt super cute with some see saws, etc.), around the lake, and read the historical signs. We checked out the giant chess board, playground, horse shoes, and corn hole.

    COVID restrictions were really well explained. Masks suggested, pool sign up with rules posted. We signed up for 6:30 and the team thoroughly cleaned between us and the precious crew.

    The food and store was super and reasonable.

    Next time I will def check out the nightly wine or beer tasting.

    Can’t say enough good things - will def be back!!

    Cypress View Campground — Santee State Park

    Big campground on the lake

    We camped here over the weekend with the pups. The state park has 2 different campgrounds. We decided for the Lakeshore one. It's pretty big with over 100 campsites. They have the usual amenities like fire pit, and picnic table with bench. Our was private, but the sites in the middle are not. The bathhouse was very clean with nice hot showers. The park has several trails, a visitor center, cabins on the water, at least 2 boat ramps with a bait shop. There are no trash cans near the campsites, there is one big dumpster at the entrance of the campground. It's about 1.30h to Folly Beach. We would definitely camp here again.

    Cypress View Campground — Santee State Park

    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.

    Amazing campground

    There are a couple large pods you can walk around, nice pool and a dog run. Staff very nice. Put the bag of trash out in the morning and it is picked up for you. They had pizza and there was no extra charge for additional toppings. We liked it here so much we stayed an extra day. The site available didn’t have sewer but they were all booked up when we called just a couple days ahead. The nice thing about our site was it is a pull through and at the end so we had a very nice area outside our door.

    Cypress View Campground — Santee State Park

    Good Little State Park

    There are quite a variety of things to do at this state park, and the camp sites are spacious. There is a little store where you can buy any of the little things you may have forgotten. There were not too many people camping during our visit, but it could be that not many people want to stand the South Carolina heat! Either way, it made the visit quiet. There are also plenty of geocaches around, if you're into that. There are 2 places to shower in the campground, so I imagine that once it fills up, you may have to wait to shower. It was pretty clean and the water was clear, so I guess you could just go for a swim! I wish we had brought our tubes and some rope to float out on the water!

    Campground at James Island County Park

    Awsome Campground and Park

    This park is one of the best that we visited so far. It was pure luck, but our dates were during their Festival of Lights. The entire park was decorated with holiday lighting scenes, all sponsored by various Charleston businesses. The displays were awesome! Even the walking/biking paths were decorated. They must have spent months on this. The campground was clean and the sites were nicely separated by trees and shrubs. Bath houses were immaculate. Apparently some folks come every year around this festival because individual sites were also decorated with lights- even in the trees. We camped at James Island County Park in a Travel Trailer.
