    Pirateland Family Camping Resort

    Perfect ocean front spot

    Very nice park! We had ocean front spot site 695. Spot was sandy and looked a little sketchy to back into, looks as if someone got stuck. We ended up backing up just fine with no problems and pulled out just fine as well. Bathrooms were close and very clean, great water pressure. They pick your trash right at your spot every morning. Had a minor electrical problem, called and they were right there vey quick and fixed the issue. Lots of things to do, Pool, lazy river, splash pad, and kayak/peddle boats. Putt putt cost money but it’s available. Gulf cart rentals as well. The ocean beach is so beautiful and it was not busy. Just a perfect spot. I recommend going to Broadway on the beach for things to do in the area.

    We did how ever have family fly in and rented a cabin. Sharon from the office was not so friendly she only deals with cabin rentals so if your here to camp in campground it’s a great place!

    Campground at James Island County Park

    Mobile Camping Bliss w/ Tons of Amenities & Attractions

    Should you be driving an RV, hitched to a 5th Wheeler or hauling a trailer, whatever your mobile camping experience might be, there’s 116 campsite options to choose from here at James Island Co Park, which offers both pull-through & back-in sites (maximum 80 feet), which provide a great launching pad to explore more than 643 acres of pure outdoor bliss offering perhaps one of the most expansive list of amenities and attractions (see more below). Once you arrive here at this RV Campground from James Island Parkway, you’ll pass the Ranger Station and will circumnavigate the circle-like exterior of the park until you arrive to this very CG, turn right and check-in at the main office, which also serves as the CG marketplace.

    This RV Campground is basically the expanse of 2 lateral football fields with an east and west side, dissected on the east side by 3 simple short lanes and a restroom / shower / laundry facility located right in the middle. Over on the west side, there’s a single loop that isn’t dissected at all, but has a second, narrower loop on its northern flank, where hereto, a central restroom / shower / laundry facility has been plotted right in the middle of this circuitous loop.

    RV Campground Amenities include: FHUs with 20 / 30 / 50 amp electric, water & sewage, 24-hour staffing, activity center, super-clean, new bathhouses and restrooms, designated dump station, complimentary WiFi, campground marketplace, coin-operated laundr-O-mat, stand-up grills / BBQs, fire rings, picnic tables, propane-refueling station, trash / recyclable containers, cottages available to rent as well as ice + firewood for sale.

    Situated just north of where your RV is anchored is the Outdoor Zone featuring a 50 foot climbing wall, obstacle challenge course, 1K sq ft bouldering wall and slackline that will have you and your brood enjoying these backwoods in no time. West of this Outdoor Zone is an 18-hole disc golf course and back towards the center of the park is a Splash Zone Waterpark complete with (2) 200 foot waterslides, 500 foot long lazy river, leisure pool & rainforest play structure, kid’s playground as well as a boat house with kayak, pedal boat and canoe rentals along with direct access to a small lake, round-trip shuttle service (to the nearby Convention& Visitor Bureau, Folly Beach Pier of Folly Beach County Park), Spray Play Waterpark, K9 park, crabbing & fishing dock, 16K acres of freshwater lakes, Santee Stage for live music and events, 4 individual group shelters and countless picnic tables in addition to 5+ miles of paved paths offering hiking / biking bliss.

    Insider’s Tips? Here’s a few: (1) If you are one of those RV campers that come towing a Jeep behind them or have somehow managed to transport a golf cart with you and find that the slot you’ve been given doesn’t adequately provide enough space for everything including your RV (let alone the additional transport you’ve brought) have no fear, as there’s substantial, additional parking that exists right in front of the Group Camping area, just due north of where you are stationed; (2) I found it hard to believe that with over 100 sites there was only 2 restroom / shower facilities and every time we tried to use the showers, there was a waiting line – so given this, timing is EVERYTHING as normally everyone is heading to get their showers first thing in the morning – so I highly recommend you either get up SUPER early or simply change your shower schedule to mid-afternoon or early evening; (3) In the event that you wanna try something other than what you’ve been whipping up from the confines of your on-board mini-fridge or roto-molded Cordova cooler, then nearby there’s mediocre fast food options like Zaxby’s or Bojangles, but if you’re OK to drive a smidge further, there’s a great joint called Bohemian Bull that’s one part restaurant / one part outdoor tavern of which I highly recommend the fried green tomatoes and bar-b-cuban sandwich; (4) Should you need to stock up on any supplies while here, there is the county park store over in the RV Campground, but for anything more substantial, just about 5 minutes south of this CG you’ll find a Walmart Supercenter; and (5) IMHO the best slots in this RV exclusive campground are those on the perimeter with the best sites being the ones without anything behind them, specifically on the NW periphery with sites #46 - 55; along the westernmost side with sites #20, #21, #23, #24 and #26.

    Happy Camping!

    Campground at James Island County Park

    Awesome Place to RV Camp

    We found this campground well maintained and quiet. The bath house was recently remodeled and now has air conditioning. I found it to be one of the nicest bath facilities we have ever used. The campsites have full RV hook-ups and come with a picnic table and fire ring. The park does allow pets and has a dog park with a beach; it seems like the pups were having a marvelous time playing chase on the beach.This is a County Park with trails for walking or leisure biking. A new water park is under construction and should open this summer. The camp store is well stocked and the staff was very friendly and helpful. One downside was the WIFI (one of the perks at this place) did not work the entire 5 days we were there. I need to work remotely so this was a BIG problem. I had to go to the Starbucks to work...bummer! Positives were the easy drive and parking at nearby Folly Beach during the week, and the close proximity to Historic Charleston.

    Huntington Beach State Park Campground

    Nice large sites close to the beach

    Don’t confuse this campground with Hunting Island (many people do). Although expensive, the sites here are very generous in size. Sites on the outside of the loop have more privacy (sites 1-33 have trees behind them for even more privacy). 

    The restrooms and showers are clean. 

    There are multiple access points to a very walkable or runnable beach. No bike rentals on-site but there is a local bike shop that will deliver to your site. Tours of Atalaya available plus other programs (although we didn’t take advantage of these). There is a large store with many souvenirs along with general necessities. If you order three or more bundles of firewood, they will deliver to your site. 

    It would have been nice to have a utility sink to wash dishes in as there are in other state parks. Also, like all other South Carolina state parks, alcohol is prohibited.

    Although I usually take many photos at our campgrounds, for some reason, I didn't here!

    Mount Pleasant-Charleston KOA

    Awesome Camping Cabins

    We stayed in the camping cabins and loved them! The bathroom was super clean, the sites were very nice and the waterway and amenities were really awesome! Lots of places close by to eat at but this feels so tucked away all at the same time.

    Nice beachside campground

    One big campground with a lot of amenities. Nice people. Good size sites with concret pads and patio that accommodate larger rigs but the roads between the sites can be tight. Kid and pet friendly. Wish it had a dog park. Very large camp store, large laundry facility and water park. Very fairly price considering the he amenities. We’ll be back.

    Johnston Landing Campground & Cabins

    Low Country Camping @ Johnston Landing

    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(but truth be told, I never saw any while we were there). If you are coming to these parts, be sure to bring a floating vessel of any type– fishing boat, kayak, canoe or whatever will stay afloat– but if not, no worries, the good people here at Johnston Landing have you covered as they offer a paddle boat, kayaks and a row boat for rent. Insider’s tip? 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). As for amenities, this well-groomed campground offers up fairly new picnic tables, all the basic hook-ups(water, electric and sewage), BBQ/ grills and fairly clean restrooms and showers. Sportsman’s Bar& Grill just down the road is about the only thing decent within close proximity, otherwise, be prepared to cook whatever you plan on dining on for each meal. 

    Happy Camping!

    What an adventure

    The campground was clean and peaceful. Pet friendly. Dogs had a blast on the trails and finding a little hidden beach!


Guide to McClellanville

Cabin camping options near McClellanville, South Carolina range from waterfront units to forest-nestled accommodations within a 30-mile radius. The Francis Marion National Forest borders the town directly, creating seasonal opportunities for cabin rentals that vary based on time of year. Winter temperatures average 45-60°F while summer months reach 85-95°F with high humidity, affecting cabin availability.

What to do

Fishing access from cabins: At Hidden Marina & Campground, cabins position visitors directly on the Sampit River. "They have really nice cabins on the water. A boat ramp and marina for boats. Really great place to stay if you want to fish around georgetown SC or just explore the history of georgetown," notes Briggs B.

Take a wagon ride: Mount Pleasant-Charleston KOA offers unique activities from their cabin areas. "Our fave was the wagon ride to the plantation next door," shares Angela M. The campground also provides "a free wagon ride to a nearby plantation a couple of times a week," according to Ashley W.

Beach activities: Huntington Beach State Park Campground cabins provide a base for coastal exploration. "The beautiful beach is just at your doorstep and nature on the other site. We loved the combo," writes Werner S. The park combines "great beach access, trails and marsh area" with easy biking paths to "truly enjoy the environment."

What campers like

Variety of cabin styles: Campground at James Island County Park offers multiple cabin configurations. "We stayed here in October when the water park/pool was closed, but there was still plenty to do with bike rentals and the outdoor adventure area," mentions Nick & Allyssa S. The property features "a 50 foot climbing wall, obstacle challenge course, 1K sq ft bouldering wall and slackline."

Privacy levels: Short Stay Navy Outdoor Moncks Corner provides quieter cabin settings. "Short-stay is a beautiful camp right on Lake Moultrie a short distance from Charleston, SC. They have descent wifi and an pretty well stocked camp store, but the main attraction is huge Lake Moultrie," explains Thom C. Another camper adds, "It is so laid back and peaceful."

Family atmosphere: Pirateland Family Camping Resort cabins accommodate family gatherings. "This place is awesome especially if you have kids. Bath houses are nice and clean, splash pool is top notch, putt putt, food, and the beach here is really nice," states Landon T. The facilities include "multiple pools, a lazy river, cabins and golf carts to rent, right on the ocean."

What you should know

Maintenance variations: The condition of cabins near McClellanville varies significantly between properties. At Johnson's Marina & Campground, "The location is fabulous. On the Sampit River and close to the cute little village of Georgetown. The road in is rough. Not paved. About a mile long. Hold on," warns Lynette L.

Seasonal considerations: Water facilities at many cabin locations operate seasonally. Francis Marion National Forest cabins have limited water access year-round. One visitor noted, "There used to be water available but that spicket is well past it 'sell-by-date'. The closest store is a 10-minute drive."

Reservation requirements: Most cabins require substantial advance booking, particularly at popular sites. "Fills fast, so make reservations well in advance," advises one Huntington Beach State Park visitor. During summer months, availability becomes extremely limited, often requiring 3-6 month advance planning.

Tips for camping with families

Outdoor activities: Ocean Lakes Family Campground offers structured programs for children staying in cabins. "This is a massive campground! On average when school is out they have over 30,000 campers a day!! To accommodate they have a HUGE water park and countless other amenities," shares Eric H.

Kitchen considerations: Plan meals based on cabin kitchen equipment, which varies widely. Some cabins include only minimal cooking facilities while others provide full kitchens. Always pack basic cooking tools and supplies when staying in rustic cabins.

Weather preparation: Summer cabin stays require additional cooling considerations. Pack portable fans for cabins without air conditioning, particularly in July-August when humidity levels reach their peak. Several primitive cabins in Francis Marion National Forest rely exclusively on natural ventilation.

Tips from RVers

Cabin alternatives: Charleston KOA provides options when RV sites are unavailable. "Paved, not completely level, but close. Had enough room to stay hooked up to 36' 5th wheel, plus park a car sideways in front of truck. Just like all KOA's the place is well maintained and spotless restrooms," reports Paul.

Storage options: Many cabin locations offer secure RV storage for travelers using cabins as temporary accommodations. Several campgrounds provide monthly storage rates more economical than daily cabin rental fees for extended stays.

Utility considerations: Water quality varies significantly at cabin locations throughout the region. At Hidden Marina & Campground, "The water smells like rotten eggs or rotten meat on any given day. I would not recommend drinking. They periodically just pour bleach in the tank to 'clean it' and then your water smells like bleach."
