SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Campgrounds near Jacksonboro, South Carolina provide a mix of recreational camping environments across state parks and private RV parks. Colleton State Park Campground offers tent, RV, and cabin camping with boat access along the Edisto River, while Edisto Beach State Park Campground provides beach access and a variety of accommodation types including glamping options. Several mixed-use campgrounds in the region accommodate both tent and RV camping, with Givhans Ferry State Park and James Island County Park offering cabin rentals alongside traditional campsites. Many locations provide full hookups for RVs while maintaining primitive tent sites.
Road conditions and accessibility vary throughout the region, with most established campgrounds offering paved access suitable for larger rigs. Several state parks maintain year-round operations with peak visitation during summer months. "This park is very clean and well kept. On weekends it was packed, weekdays 1/2 capacity and quiet," noted one visitor about Givhans Ferry State Park. Campground amenities typically include drinking water, electric hookups, and shower facilities, though availability differs between locations. Cell service can be limited at more remote locations like Givhans Ferry, where campers report minimal connectivity. Insect protection is advisable, particularly during warmer months when mosquitoes are prevalent near water sources.
The camping experience near Jacksonboro benefits from proximity to both coastal environments and inland waterways. Campers frequently mention the Edisto River as a highlight, with opportunities for swimming, kayaking, and tubing. A camper described Givhans Ferry State Park as having "access to the Edisto River for swimming, canoeing and kayaking. Park is in the boonies but within an hours ride to Charleston and many nice tourist spots." The combination of coastal proximity and forested settings creates diverse camping environments. Private RV parks like New Green Acres and Tiny Town offer convenient locations for travelers using Interstate 95, while state parks provide more natural settings with varying levels of seclusion. Many campgrounds feature fire rings and picnic tables, with some also offering market facilities for basic supplies.

LegendHarry's Fish Camp
A True South Carolina Fish Camp Experience
If you're looking for a rustic RV depot on the water's edge with limited amenities, but an absolutely pristine view of Lake Marion, Harry's Fish Camp is a great spot, as long as your expectations are managed, as this is more of an outdoor fishing paradise than it is a polished RV resort. So if your idea of the perfect camping trip starts with launching the boat before sunrise, spending the day chasing trophy catfish and striped bass on the legendary Lake Marion and returning to camp for a fresh seafood dinner overlooking the water, you'll feel right at home. Tucked away in the quiet community of Pineville, Harry's is one of those classic Santee Cooper fish camps that has earned its reputation through generations of anglers rather than flashy marketing. The atmosphere is relaxed, authentic and refreshingly unpretentious.
The campground caters to both RV campers and anglers, offering full-hookup RV sites, bathhouse facilities, showers, laundry, a dump station and pet-friendly accommodations. The real stars, however, are the waterfront amenities: two boat ramps, four fishing piers, a fish-cleaning station with running water and electricity, a well-stocked tackle shop and convenient boat storage. There's also a sandy swimming beach nearby with a designated swimming area for families looking to cool off after a day on the water. While the campground isn't luxurious, it delivers exactly what its guests come for: easy access to some of the best freshwater fishing in the Southeast.
Harry's location places you in the heart of the famed Santee Cooper lake system, encompassing more than 170,000 acres of world-class fishing and boating opportunities. Whether you're targeting largemouth bass, catfish, crappie or striped bass, you're launching directly into one of the country's premier freshwater fisheries. Birdwatchers and paddlers will also appreciate the surrounding cypress swamps and quiet backwaters. If you need supplies, Billy's General Store is just a short drive away for fuel, groceries and last-minute essentials, while Harry's own restaurant is well known locally for its fried catfish and traditional Southern cooking.
Insider's tips? Here's a handful: (1) Arrive early if you're planning to launch a boat during peak fishing weekends as this place turns into a 'traffic jam' on the water from 8am onwards; (2) If available, request one of the waterfront campsites for easy access to the marina and beautiful sunrise views; (3) Bring plenty of bug spray during the warmer months as mosquitoes can be incredibly active around the marshes; (4) Don't leave without trying the fried catfish dinner at Harry's restaurant ... trust me, it's part of the whole experience while staying here; (5) If you're bringing your own boat, take advantage of the on-site fish-cleaning station before heading home; and (6) If you're visiting for several days, consider hiring one of the area's experienced fishing guides to learn the seasonal patterns of the Santee Cooper lakes.
Happy Camping!

Avoid Lake Aire Campground!
My husband had a course to take in the Charleston area and we booked Lake Aire Campground from June 15- 20 while he attended that course. What a disappointment Lake Aire CG turned out to be. The two designated dump stations were not working therefore two RV sites were set up for that. Neither of them were easy to get to upon leaving the campground. The bathrooms were not that clean, nor was the laundry facility. We don't use the showers, etc. on site, but we judge the way a campground is run on whether these facilities are kept clean and tidy. According to the full-time resident next to our site, the washers and dryers are often out of order. The pool was not open either. We couldn't wait to leave and did so a day early. Lake Aire in general is run-down and in need of better management.

Beachfront camping
The beach campground has Nice campsites just behind the dunes. State park staff are very responsive and so kind. Access to the beach is ADA approved with the blue access mats. You can also drive your gold cart to the beach to set up your stuff. Bathrooms are clean and showers are hot! No shade at most of the sites and it is very windy here.

Tuck in the Wood Campground
Kid’s wonderland
I grew up going to this campground every summer. It was and still is some of my favorite memories.
First of all, they have a water slide! The staff let us use it all day long. And there was never any other kids there. We got to keep it all to ourselves. Playground and volleyball area were a plus.
Pond/nature trail were cool. Bathrooms were always super clean and the staff were friendly and helpful.
It’s been a few years since I’ve been back (as an adult now with kids of my own). But I would say over twenty years it has stayed consistent in its performance.
If you’re looking for seclusion this is not the place to pick but the sites aren’t stacked right on top of each other either. Good for RVs and tents. Close to the beach and town.

Beach Campground -- It Doesn't Get Much Better Than This!
This is our absolute favorite campsite of all time! It is very private and secluded, but right around the corner from the beach. It is for tents and small campers only, as we barely had enough room to get our pop up backed up in the site with the truck. The site slopes up, evens out, and then slopes right back down to the fire ring and picnic table. Our pop up is a 10-foot box and it was just enough room to get it on the level spot without sloping one way or the other. It was also just wide enough for our awning to be set out with a little room to walk around. Once situated, there is plenty of room at the picnic table and fire ring to sit around and park bikes, etc.
There is plenty of shade and you can hear the waves crashing on the beach. The site also has water and electric hookups, but we try to bring our own water since you can still taste the salt. It is so relaxing!
This is on the Beach Campground and the only problem we noticed it is that the outdoor shower for washing off sand from the beach has low visibility because it is on the road side of the bathhouse and not the beach side. The result is people clogging up the showers with sand because they don't even see the outdoor shower in some cases.
The park has some amazing nature trails to bike and hike as well as a nice educational nature center.
We always enjoy our stay here and will definitely continue to book here as long as we can.

FamCamp Joint Base Charleston S.C
Nice place a smidge confusing
There are actually TWO bases here - the air base and the weapons station. We stayed at the air base but also visited the weapons station for some recreation.
Air base: close to downtown Charleston; great price for the amenities provided ($45 per night for full hookups - electric, water, and sewer); power/water pedestal was nice; shower and laundry facilities on site; all sites fairly level and mostly shady; playground, sand volleyball, golf, and indoor climbing wall within walking distance; beautiful trees, etc. All the normal base amenities, including bowling alley (check out galactic bowling if you have kids).
Staff was helpful. Camp host was… vigilant, but not super considerate with his leaf blowing pollen plumes around breakfasters.
Did not have pool. Fine.
DOES NOT HAVE FIRE RINGS. Or a grill. That was a disappointment. You can BRING a fire ring. But of course no open burning.
Also, the sites are a smidge close together. But not overly so. Ask for a perimeter site and not a middle pull through if you're looking for a little extra green space between. (Not sure if they'll honor that or not.)
The weapons station also has an RV park. (Forgot to look and see if they have fire rings.) If you are a trail runner or hiker or similar, this is the one you want to go to. There's an excellent trail system right off the RV park. The air base did not. They have plenty of sidewalks to run but no trails. However, if you're there to see Charleston, you want to stay at the air base. The weapons station is further away from downtown.
As other reviewers have said, these options are both on military bases and require an ID to access.
Guide to Jacksonboro
Campgrounds near Jacksonboro, South Carolina offer varied camping experiences in lowland forest and coastal environments with average elevations under 100 feet. The region experiences hot, humid summers with temperatures often exceeding 90°F, while winter lows typically stay above freezing. Seasonal insect activity peaks May through September, particularly after rainfall when mosquitoes become more active.
What to do
River activities at Colleton State Park: Boat access on the Edisto River provides paddling opportunities with designated launch points. "Great bathhouses. Very clean! The rangers are SUPER nice! Very helpful! Also a nice place to launch your kayak. Very clean and up-kept campground," notes one Colleton State Park Campground visitor. The area features basic hiking trails but the water activities remain the primary draw.
Lighthouse exploration: Drive 45 minutes to climb the Hunting Island lighthouse for panoramic coastal views. "We hiked along the beach to the lighthouse. Beautiful views from the top of the lighthouse. We hiked one of the many trails back to camp," says one visitor at Hunting Island State Park Campground. Lighthouse access costs $2 per person.
Biking opportunities: Several campgrounds maintain dedicated biking trails with minimal elevation changes. "Edisto has a beach camping area and a wooded area. The option for RV or tent camping without all the excessive price," notes a visitor who enjoyed biking at Edisto Beach State Park. Flat terrain makes these trails suitable for most skill levels.
What campers like
Water access sites: Waterfront campsites provide direct views and recreation access. "We camped in site 11 which was riverside and had a great view! If we could pick any site, we would probably pick Site 9 as it had a slightly better view," explains a Colleton State Park visitor. Waterfront sites tend to book faster, especially during summer months.
Pet-friendly environments: Most campgrounds welcome dogs with dedicated pet areas at some locations. "We had a magical time at Edisto. The Beach campground was just steps from the ocean. Opt for sites 1-12 or 50-75. Bathrooms were great. Shelling was incredible-especially if you walk towards the inlet around low tide," shares a visitor at Edisto Beach State Park Campground.
Privacy between sites: Many campgrounds feature natural separation between sites. "The sites are spacious and clean. plenty of sights to see in Charleston. It has a fantastic dog park and several miles of paved walking/biking paths," reports a visitor at Campground at James Island County Park. Wooded sites typically provide more separation than open sites.
What you should know
Highway noise varies: Some campgrounds experience road noise despite wooded settings. "Great little park but is right next to the highway it is off of. Which makes car noise very loud," observes a Colleton State Park visitor. Sites further from main roads offer quieter environments.
Flooding after rain: Low elevation means some sites retain water after heavy rainfall. "If it rains many of the sites flood but drain out fairly quick," notes another Colleton camper. Research site elevations when booking, particularly during rainy seasons.
Cell service limitations: Coverage varies significantly between campgrounds. "We were very close to bathrooms that could have been cleaner but were handy. Shower facilities were clean and the laundry room was big. We didn't get a chance to use the pool, it was cute," mentions a visitor at Lake Aire RV Park where service remains strong near the office area.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Multiple campgrounds feature dedicated children's play areas. "Family owned RV campground with full hook-ups and a food truck on the property! We were there on a Thursday evening and had delicious chicken street tacos," shares a visitor at Tiny Town RV Campground, which has plans to expand activities for children.
Insect preparation: Mosquitoes require special preparation during warmer months. "Uneven sites, horrible potholes and poor drainage throughout the park. We did have some torrential rain our first night, but the puddles didn't drain after 4 days," notes a Hunting Island visitor, highlighting the importance of insect repellent in wet conditions.
Winter camping benefits: Winter visits (November-February) offer reduced crowds and milder temperatures. "We camped here during the winter and had fun. This campsite is perfect for riding bikes around," reports an Edisto Beach camper. Winter temperatures typically range from 40-65°F.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling challenges: Several campgrounds feature unlevel sites requiring additional setup time. "Like many state parks, the campground just wasn't built for 37' campers. It was super tight getting into our spots, but our neighbors were very helpful and the beautiful trees made for a cozy site," advises an RVer at Hunting Island State Park.
Dump station locations: Some parks have inconveniently located dump stations. "Only negative dump site is a mile up main road," notes a camper at Edisto Beach State Park. Plan for this extra travel time when scheduling departure.
Ant prevention: Several campgrounds require proactive ant management. "We got a tip from a neighboring RVer to spray for small ants anywhere that the RV touches the ground so the ants won't crawl up and get in our RV as it did theirs. We promptly went to buy ant spray and never had a problem," suggests a visitor at Oak Plantation Campground. Applying ant treatments before setup helps prevent infestations.
