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.

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.

Great place to camp
We love the Live oaks campground in Edisto Beach State Park. Level sites with plenty of privacy. We are in site 120 this trip and we have stayed in sites 118 and 122 on previous trips. these sites back onto the salt marsh which gives you some incredible scenery just behind the site

LegendTaylor's Landing
Off The Beaten Path
You’ll find this hidden campground VERY far off the beaten trail (and trust me, this trail is as beaten up a road as you’ll find just about anywhere in South Carolina, so you'll want to drive down the lane here SLOW) on the easternmost side of Lake Marion off Ferguson Landing in southeastern part of the great Palmetto State. Given its direct access to Lake Marion, the place gets high marks for its location, but lower marks for overall upkeep and the basic downtrodden nature of the place. You’ll be impressed by the shallow water access and boat launch here, where you’ll have to maneuver around scores of submerged Cypress trees, which makes for quite the enchanting entry to Lake Marion, which if you weren’t aware, offers up 315 miles of shoreline, spans 110,000 square acres or 174 square miles and is the largest lake in South Carolina.
That said, IMHO Taylor’s Landing could use a serious bit of refurbishment and grooming, including the grounds themselves, which were quite overgrown when we stopped by. There is a general store of sorts on-site that sells sundries, ice and most camping needs as well as providing propane tanks for sale. Overall, this place is built more for the RV’ing crowd, although they do offer a few places for tent campers, but don’t offer much in terms of amenities. There was a communal dog area that was pretty worn down right near the area designated for tent camping, which given that most of the dog owners didn’t take their dogs for a walk, the smell emanating from this area was enough for us to decide not to camp here for the night. The entire CG is wide open without any benefit of shade or privacy between sites, although the perimeter has a nice treeline.
Insider’s tip? Here’s a few: (1) If you are a history buff, then you’ll be lured nearby to discover the Sunken Ghost Town of Ferguson, which was once a Congaree Indian Village, which we could access with our kayaks to explore; (2) There is a sandy beachhead that you’ll discover on one of the few trails you’ll come across here at Taylor’s Landing; (3) From an entertainment standpoint, this CG does offer up some interesting creative options during different times of the year – when we were there during the latter part of October, they offered up a ‘Trail of Terror’ for Halloween; (4) If you want to get your hike on, right nearby is Santee Cooper Nature Trail, which makes for some relative easy-to-modest hiking; (5) There’s nothing out in these parts, so if you want to grab a bite to eat, you’ll need to head back to Eutawville where there’s a few mom & pop joints like Tricia’s Café, Sweatman’s BBQ and Casters at Bells; (6) The fishing dock here is solid and offers great opportunity to reel in largemouth bass, catfish, striped bass, crappie and panfish like bluegill; and (7) The best asset here at Taylor's Landing is the fairly EZ to access boat launch that will have you in Lake Marion in no time flat, whether you have a motorized boat or a simple kayak or canoe.
Overall, Taylor's Landing could be a nice place, just in dire need of some upgrades and overall maintenance.
Happy Camping!

The place was very quiet and the host was wonderful.
We had a great visit. We are self-contained in our Van so we didn’t have to use the facilities. The site was secluded and we were told we were welcome to walk around. He also let us know that if we wanted, we could use the sewer on one of the other sites that wasn’t being used.Also he gave us free firewood very welcoming and friendly. Definitely going back.

One of the best!
We were traveling with two large dogs and looking for a pet friendly site. This is a people friendly site so many game playing areas swimming pool and clean manicured lawns with a lake view on some sites.

Lake Jasper RV Park
Nice Lots, Clean Park
I stopped here briefly on my way north because it was convenient to 95. I was a little frustrated at arrival because the office was closed early and I was never given a site number. Thankfully somebody was able to get me sorted. The site itself was nice and spacious. All of the amenities looked new ans clean. Someone in the park left out a large dog that barked all night. Hopefully those scenarios aren't the norm.
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.
