Quiet, secure, upscale, and in a prime location a few minutes from the beach. Restaurants of all kinds are everywhere. Park the rig and bring your bike, because the trails will lead you to everything.

Herd it Here Farm
Amazing!
The couple who owns this place are so kind and welcoming! We were having trouble with our trailer and our rv leading up to getting here and while we were here and they were so calm and helpful! We got to pet a mule and watch one of the horses and a donkey graze right outside our rv! Then, the owner took is around to see the other farm animals and we bought soap made by a local dairy farm wrapped in wool from the alpacas we met. What a great experience! I cannot recommend this place enough! 🫏💜

Dumphole
My son and I have a small business and we stayed there for 2 months because we were working in a nearby town. It seemed okay at first. I got there and the coffee pot was full of old coffee and mold. There was sticky dirt and trash under the beds and around the beds and under the nightstands. If you're staying in the cabins or what they call the sweet You might want to take pictures of everything and document everything that is screwed up in there before you even stay because they will try to blame you for it. My son and I do not drink or party we were there for work. There was a outlet behind the headboard in the headboard was just hanging on the wall My son accessed the outlet in order to charge his laptop and phone and remove the headboard which just hangs and forgot to put it back They claim that we broke that and the box springs. The box spring was already broke when we got there. The heat in the back room of the suite was broke I had to bring my own heater. I paid $5,000 for 2 months and we came back for one more day and the lady, or general manager, called me absolutely hostile and irate about the headboard We explained to her that it just hangs on the wall she lied and said we broke it. My mistake was not documenting everything and taking photos in order to show them that it was all messed up when we got there. So if you do decide to stay at this dump hole I would certainly take pictures and document anything that's wrong prior to your stay and make sure that they are fully aware of all of the broken things in there which are numerous. The fridge is a mini fridge and the ice builds up on it to where you can't even use the little freezer thing in it. It's in a nice beautiful location. I thought it was going to be okay for the first two months we were okay with it. We're not the kind of people that complain or bitch or moan about things so I didn't bring any of the mini discrepancies to their attention I thought they didn't they already knew since the pricing was so cheap. I I assumed for that price they were aware of how messed up the place was. There's a restaurant on site. The food is disgusting. Fried garbage basically. They're always out of menu items. If you're waiting for a drink refill or to have your food served you're going to be waiting for a while because the waitresses are always outside smoking cigarettes goofing off. The food is stored in a dirty room underneath the restaurant and I saw mice and roaches running in and out of there. It's a great place if you're an alcoholic and like to drink I guess. It's in a great location. The camp store is only open whenever the general manager feels like it seems like there's hours on the door but they're closed about 85% of the time. I was extremely disappointed when they called me up and treated me like absolute trash. The lady was irate for no reason. We didn't break the box springs we didn't break anything we were staying there one night after we already stayed there for 2 months and we didn't have a problem and now all of a sudden we came back a week later and they're trying to say we broke stuff and told us we can't stay there anymore which really bothered me because I was very respectful and we didn't complain about all the messed up things. People are up late partying all through the weekend so if you're there to work it's not a really good place. Your parking in a mud hole too All in all I'd say avoid this place. There are much better places to stay on lake Marion Mill Creek campground is a garbage dump as far as I'm concerned

What a fantastic campground! Welcoming, spacious level sites, clean modern bath house and the farm animals are adorable. Had a wonderful time!

Nice place
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.

Can’t car camp
Lady pretty rudely told me I couldn’t camp there because I use a car camping set up instead of a tent.

Wow
This campground is the perfect blend of rustic and modern amenities! Beautiful shade trees, large sites, and full hookups. Shuttles to the beach and downtown Charleston. Perfect!

Small but well taken care of
Small campground but it’s nice clean and well taken care of. Bathrooms are very clean and showers are great. You can hear the local roadway nearby but it’s not too bad. Lots of trees and birds singing.
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.
