Hunting Island is South Carolina’s single most popular state park, attracting more than a million visitors a year, as well as a vast array of land and marine wildlife. Five miles of pristine South Carolina beaches, thousands of acres of marsh and maritime forest, a saltwater lagoon and ocean inlet are all part of the park’s natural allure.
Hunting Island is home to the historic Hunting Island lighthouse, built in 1859 and rebuilt in 1875 after it was destroyed during the Civil War. A unique feature of the lighthouse is that it was constructed of interchangeable cast-iron sections so it could be dismantled should it ever need to be moved. Severe beach erosion made it necessary to relocate the lighthouse 1.3 miles inland in 1889.
Hunting Island State Park camping is available at 100 campsites with water and electrical hookups, shower and restroom facilities, beach walkways and a playground. Hunting Island State Park camping reservations must be made for a minimum of two nights.

So much to do— quiet and family friendly. Bike rentals, dog park, fishing pond, laundry, water park, etc. Large corner lot with plenty of shade. 20 mins from Folly Beach! Will be back!
Traveler
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.
ScoutHave yet to stay, only due to price. Looks like an awesome spot, especially considering the area. Currently, the monthly price begins at $ 1100. Again: haven't stayed yet solely to cost but it looks like a lovely, lowkey RV park. If anyone stays and loves it, please let me know!

This place has it all & it’s all amazing!! First of all, ALL of the staff are so incredibly kind & hospitable. 2nd, the sites are very large & have every hookup you could want including cable. The park is surrounded by a beautiful walking trail that cuts thru the woods & several areas of the campground. There’s a great, big dog park & an indoor, air conditioned dog spa with several really nice dog wash stationed with temp controlled water, not just cold. The bars are great, yummy drinks & great food. The pool….so nice. There’s a big spray fountain & an awesome lazy river. There’s also a tiki bar at the pool & you can rent cabanas. The clubhouse shop has everything you could ever want & such cute souvenirs. Stuff for the pets too. Most sites are woods views but one area has great water & golf course views. Oh, the golf course, stunning!! I’m sure I’m missing so many things but all I can say is I booked my next visit on the 1st day I was here. 10/10

We have stayed at this park many times. As the park has been for sale for the past five years, the owners are not putting any resources into the park. The park is looking old and not as maintained as in the past. The pool is very dirty and was not cleaned the whole three weeks we were there.(There was a black dirt ring around the pool edge the whole time). Staff(other than Cory) are not friendly at all. They do not wave when driving by in the golf cart, or greet you when you enter the office. The grass used to be beautiful grass. It is now mostly all clover so lots of bees. Cost is$70 a night with a Good Sam discount. One issue is if you are coming from US 17 eastbound, you will need to make a left-hand turn into the driveway through heavy traffic congestion. The sites are large and are not on top of each other. The park has full hook ups and has pull thru and back in sites. The sites are large and are not on top of each other. Our site had a concrete pad but the concrete pad was broken up into large pieces of concrete which makes it hard to level.
Scout
Staff is very nice and friendly, but the place is a dump. Muddy , wet small sites. No room outside. Bathrooms should be condemned. Water, electric, sewer worked well. Cable tv static/ no good.

The north campground has much more shade and privacy than the south campground.
We enjoyed watching the bird life and being in easy walking distance to the beach itself. The camping area was quiet and clean even though very busy on a weekend. The beach itself was peaceful and lovely even on a somewhat rainy day. Traffic getting in and out of the park is pretty crazy, rushing by on a 4 lane road leading to Myrtle Beach. We enjoyed our 2 relaxing nights and look forward to a return trip sometime.
TravelerThe dunes, sea oats, sands, lighthouse in background, perfect waves!! My husband spent hours body-surfing, and we explored the interesting patterns the winds had made in the beautiful sands. Its a remarkable spot. The campground is somewhat smaller than some, and with limited shade; our site was fairly level for a small rig, but the natural beauty of this island more than compensates! The North Beach access was in easy walking distance. The Camp Host was especially helpful when I thought I lost my keys. Our only complaint was heavy local traffic driving there for late afternoon check-in. Great adventure and we will be back!!
Scout
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! 😁

Former KOA of the year campground. Just off the freeway with a bit of highway noise but heavily wooded and just plain beautiful.
Ranger
A lovely visit at the Herd it Hear Farm for our first time boondocking. Tilley (our pup) was very concerned with the cows and horses.😂Especially Eddie the mini-donkey that startled her right by the door of the camper this morning. We also timed our visit perfectly as we got to watch the spring shearing of the alpacas. Be sure to check out the little gift shop and check out the Alpaca stuff!
Make sure you follow the directions Bill sends. It would be near impossible to turn into the farm if you come from the west unless you have a van or very small camper. We had a 25' Airstream and there was no way I could have made the U-turn to get in.
Thank you to our wonderful hosts!🤩💕🐶
TravelerSpectacular in every possible category. First class laundry services, beautiful resort style pool and grounds. Big and spacious dog park. Gorgeous trails to walk on. 15 min from Whole foods and beaches on Hilton Head Island.
GuideHISP has a pristine beach and well situated campground area separate from the public beach access area. Restrooms nice and clean with hot water in the shower. Washer/dryer set up as well and camp store is fully equipped and lots of souvenirs.
Campsite numbers are marked on electric boxes so kind of hard to see.

We have been on the road for a month and have put 4000 miles on the van, the cleanest restroom I have seen. Nicest, most accomidating hosts that you could ask for. Great little spot.

I was traveling south and wanted to see an old college buddy. Last minute booking. The campground and bathhouse was clean.

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.

The sites are quite large and lots of trees. The rangers are very helpful and the camp host was terrific.

This is such a shame. I have always enjoyed going to Camelot Farms and have been every year for the past several years. I was initially excited to hear Camelot had opened back up the camping facilities and decided that although the price has increased 300% as compared to before the sale, I would continue my tradition of beach riding with my best friend. I contacted Gini Quade who had stated in several posts on FB to reach out and she could facilitate this trip. She also provided a number to call. I have called the number several times this week with no response. I then reached out again through text message and the message was read but no reply. Again, I tried calling only to find out I was provided the wrong number. I reached out yet again through FB to let Ms. Quade know that I was provided the wrong number and requested the correct number. Yet again the message was read with zero response. Unfortunately, the weekend has now arrived and STILL cannot get a response. I will be contacting management. Good luck to all of you who try to plan a trip. I hope you have much more success than I have had. This has been a very disappointing experience.
ScoutPlease read the extra long email confirmation you receive as embedded within is the fact that they use dry toilets. This was a deal breaker for us. Unfortunatetly, i didn’t catch this until too late & did not get a refund for our reservation cancellation.

Fresh blueberries!

This place is very nearly paradise. It’s not a luxury campground, nor does it claim to be. It’s on the ICW with loads of great paddling just feet from your site. Because it’s on the water, it is buggy. Come prepared for that and you’ll be fine. I’ve stayed here four times and will keep coming back.

Signage all over stating NO CAMPING

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. 😊
Guide
Super cute family owned rv campground l. 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. Great stop for a 1 nighter on a trip. I would recommend.
TravelerOne of the nicest campgrounds we have stayed. The staff was excellent from the moment we checked in until we arrived. They helped with everything from helping setup, delivering firewood to the site, activities for kids, and continuously working to keep areas clean.
The weather was starting to get a bit cold for the pool but our kids still enjoyed playing in it and the playground was one of their favorites. We also enjoyed the bike path around the resort that at times seemed very remote.
Scout
I sent an email checking on one night availability and the response from Erin was “We only do monthly rentals.”
Traveler
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.
