Buck Hall Recreation Area offers a premier location to enjoy the outdoors. It is situated along the Intracoastal Waterway and provides great access to Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge, 65,000 acres of marsh, tidal creeks and beaches; and Bulls Bay, the coast's best shrimp baiting area.
The area is primarily used for shrimp baiting and fishing. Anglers can expect a huge variety of fish, including bass, flounder, sea trout, snapper, mackerel, swordfish, crab, shrimp, clams, oysters and more. The campground provides access to boating and ocean sailing. Fishing boats and often very large pleasure boats can be seen as they travel the popular Intracoastal Waterway. A long portion of the Palmetto Trail, which leads from the marshes of the ocean to the mountains of South Carolina, is accessible from the recreation area. Most of the trail is unpaved and can be used for hiking, biking or horseback riding, although a few sections are restricted to foot traffic only.
The popular campground sits at sea level, alongside the Intracoastal Waterway. It is part of the Francis Marion National Forest in South Carolina. The campground itself is grassy and open, with very few trees and limited shade.

Almost November and the beach is still nice. The campground has a ton of amenities and a warm indoor pool for the kids. We'll definitely be back during th summer.
Traveler
This was one of the best experiences of our life. We are seasoned campers but this was our first Dyrt booking. The whole process was easy and clear. As millennials we appreciate the privacy and the fact that we didn’t have to call anyone or really deal with anyone. Waking up to cows/water buffalo was an added bonus. The host does an amazing job and provide amenities that really upgrade the primitive nature. Nice privy, campfire ring, picnic table. To the family that owns this place, thank you for allowing us to visit your property. This was a beautiful experience and we are so grateful you share this slice of heaven with us. Thank you. Coming again next week.
Guide
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!
Ranger
This place is huge. There is so much to do at the resort. Plenty of bathhouses and the showers are hot. You can rent golf carts at an affordable rate.
TravelerLoved the location, and it’s so fun waking up to cattle!
Scout
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. If anyone stays and loves it, please let me know!
GuideI stayed here for 4 nights and each one was different. The first night (Thursday) I was the only one there. Well, except for the Racoon who thought I was an easy mark for a meal. No such luck Rocky! The second night 1 other person came along. The sites are so big that we had a lot of privacy while still knowing someone was around if necessary. The 3rd night was Saturday and almost all of the sites were filled. Quiet, respectful and efficient seems to be the general behavior of campers here. The last night, it was just me and the other guy again. Don't be startled by the cows and donkeys who come to visit in the morning. There is an outhouse, but I don't use outhouses, so LNT and be aware that this is a working farm, the animals have the right of way. Oh yeah, a dolphin swam by in the inlet one morning. Took me by surprise!!!
RangerThe RV spaces really have no shade or trees, so if you like the sun and to be directly off the beach,this place is for you. They have alot of amenities to offer, including a waterpark with multiple pools, watersides, lazy river, kids' play area, mini golf. They have alot going on here for families. The beach has basketball courts, playgrounds, and you can rent golfcarts. It's a very busy with alot of people driving all around. The beach water was so clean and warm. You can also rent trailers or huge beach houses who share the same pool. The area has so much to do, including pirates adventure, Broadway on the beach, and the hangout with the foam party.
ScoutGrounds and facilities exceptional.well maintained ground all staff friendly
ScoutLove all the daily activities and amenities. Bathhouse is always clean and staff is helpful.
TravelerLakewood Camping Resort SC: Affordable Oceanfront Family Vacation Review of Lakewood Camping Resort in SC
About Us.
On the way home from what has quickly become a non-negotiable annual vacation for our family … http://chroniclesofthismama.com/2024/06/16/lakewood-camping-resort-sc-affordable-oceanfront-family-vacation/
TravelerWe absolutely love visiting Lakewood resort. We just finished our third trip and it’s a family favorite and has become a non-negotiable for our kids. The waterpark is fun to break up some of the sun and surf indulging. The food is delicious on site when you don’t feel like grilling or cooking up some camp food. Our favorite is stopping at beach bum coffee and walking in the morning while most other campers are still sleeping. It’s serene and so calm. You can hear the waves crashing and the sights are breathtaking.

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.
Scoutreally great spot to sit and stare at the marshland and take in the view of all the little crabs crawling around the banks of the water. We really enjoyed the peaceful camp after a long day at the beach. Nice way to beat the crowds on a memorial day weekend! Thanks for sharing the space and we look forward to going again
ScoutThis was the perfect place to set up camp for a night on our way to the beach, though we would’ve loved to stay longer. The arrival instructions were accurate and very helpful. The campground area was so quiet, and peaceful - a great place to disconnect.
TravelerWe as a family have been going to Ocean Lakes since 1998. We fell in love with the experience and as a new couple, we knew that if we could incorporate this type of vacation with our future children, they would appreciate it and enjoy it as much as we have. Our eldest child will be joining us on our trip in October in his camper. We can’t wait to come back!!!
ScoutBased on the coordinates, this is a private home. There is no contact information. Unless the Dyrt can verify that the owner allows overnight parking, it should be removed.

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! 😁
RangerNice location to beach. We were 3 spots away from beach access. Lots to do. There is a Walmart neighborhood market across the street. It takes about 25 mins to get to Broadway on the Beach so the downside was driving distance to things outside of the Campground. However there is plenty to keep people busy at the camp. Spots are tight and we needed neighbors to move their cars and things to get out. Due to limited room, people park in front of campers so the cars are sticking out a little. They did have issues with WiFi but we had our own so it was not an issue for us.
Ranger
This place is fine, really just a circle of sites with hookups in an open field. Pretty trees and sunsets!
ScoutGood.
ScoutLiked the professional approach to all activities etc. Bathrooms were amazing.
Guide
I was traveling south and wanted to see an old college buddy. Last minute booking. The campground and bathhouse was clean.
Traveler
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.

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.
