Rv parks near Huger, South Carolina provide access to the Francis Marion National Forest and Lake Moultrie recreational areas, with sites available in both wooded inland settings and waterfront locations. The region experiences humid subtropical climate with hot summers where temperatures often exceed 90°F, making spring and fall the most comfortable camping seasons. Campgrounds range from primitive sites to full-hookup facilities across eastern Berkeley County.
What to do
Fishing at Lake Moultrie: Multiple campgrounds offer excellent fishing access, including Johnston Landing Campground where visitors can bring floating vessels or rent paddle boats and kayaks. "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, which is set off immediately by what looks to be a small bayou playing home to likely some grizzly gators."
Hiking the Palmetto Trail: Located just 5 miles from Johnston Landing, this trail showcases sunken Cypress trees and wildlife. "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)."
Plantation tours: Mount Pleasant-Charleston KOA offers a free wagon ride to a nearby plantation. "The park offered fishing, kayak/canoe/paddle boat and paddle board rentals. They also had a free wagon ride to a nearby plantation a couple of times a week. We actually missed it but would really like to take the time to do it if we ever get back."
What campers like
Waterfront access: Many campgrounds in the Huger area provide lake and canal access. At Hill's Landing & RV Park, campers appreciate the strategic location. "Having difficulty deciding between Lake Marion or Lake Moultrie? Well then, finding a spot here at Hills Landing and RV Park might just allow you to have the best of both world's as this spot is perfectly situation between the two on a tributary of a slow-moving waterway dubbed Diversion Canal."
Peaceful settings: RV's Acres offers a quieter camping experience away from busier sites. "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."
Clean facilities: Many Huger area rv parks maintain good standards. "Very clean, beautiful park. Staff was great and friendly also. Would stay here again," notes a Mount Pleasant-Charleston KOA visitor.
What you should know
Military requirements: Military affiliation is required to stay at some campgrounds in the area. A visitor to Foster Creek RV Park noted: "Would be great but as stated you must qualify to stay."
Restroom availability: Bathroom facilities vary widely between campgrounds. "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."
Weather considerations: The Huger area can experience significant rainfall. Lake Aire RV Park campers reported: "The tent sites were unlevel and muddy (since it rained before we arrived and all the water ran down hill to the tent sites). Pretty decent bathroom but too cramped for me."
Price variations: Ladson RV Park has higher monthly rates than other rv parks near Huger. "Have 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."
Tips for camping with families
Look for playgrounds: Several rv parks in the Huger region have child-friendly facilities. "There are multiple playgrounds and many kid friendly activities to do including corn horn and other games," reports a visitor to Mount Pleasant-Charleston KOA.
Water recreation options: Palmetto Shores RV Resort offers varied water activities for families. "Palmetto shores has a nice outdoor activity area, a nice lake beach and a really nice pool and lazy River. We will be back, just next time we will pick different sites!"
Consider site location: Request sites away from highways for better family experiences. "This park is really nice and clean! You can tell that it is well taken care of. The sites are large and far enough a part; but be mindful of the site you pick! Our sites were right next to the highway."
Dog-friendly amenities: Pets are welcome at most campgrounds, with some offering specific facilities. "We both really enjoyed our stay. The dogs loved the dog park and I appreciated having bags to pick up after them."
Tips from RVers
Site sizing and hookups: Most rv parks near Huger accommodate various RV sizes. "Nice RV Site if you are visiting Charleston, South Carolina. The site is very hot due to no trees. Currently the restrooms and showers are down, so you need to have a self contained unit. However, very quiet. No pull thru sites. Must back in."
Power options: Check available electrical service before booking. "Family owned RV campground with full hook-ups and a food truck on the property! 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."
Cell reception: Connectivity varies throughout the region. "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."
Site maintenance: Bird dog RV and stay is among the newer options for RVers seeking small, well-maintained parks. "Jake from the Dyrt here! Bird Dog is new to the Dyrt but offers a great place to stay for those looking to get away. Check them out and make sure to share your pictures on the Dyrt!"
