FISHING
Camping at Lake Marion, **the largest lake in South Carolina, **comes with a lot of perks, such as a phenomenal fishing opportunity. Since angling is not just about catching the biggest fish, take the chance to teach your budding fishermen the virtue of patience by the shores of Lake Marion. Some of the fish you’ll likely encounter include striped bass, channel catfish, and black crappie.
BOATING
Should fishing sound interesting, wait until you hear about the boating opportunities. Lake Marion and the neighboring Lake Moultrie are part of a navigable inland channel leading to Charleston from Columbia. If you’re feeling eager to boat down to Charleston, you’ll get to pass through the Pinopolis Dam and Lock, which at 75-foot in height, is the largest single-step lock in North America.
HIKING
While camping in a rental motorhome at Lake Marion, fun isn’t only limited to the water. The low country in South Carolina is relatively flat, so hiking through the countryside is fairly easy. The massive Santee National Wildlife Refuge has a healthy wildlife population consisting of alligators, waterfowl, and the Springflyer Dragonfly. It is also one of the largest wetlands supporting migratory birds in Eastern USA.
HIKING & EATING IN HISTORIC CHARLESTON
The great Historic City of Charleston is very close. Hike the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge - one of Charleston’s most iconic landmarks. After trekking the bridge, head over to downtown Charleston for a culinary delight tour of world-renown restaurants known only to Charleston. After eating to your heart’s content, walk and tour the largest historic district in the country. Tour beautiful historic architecture, gardens and mansions - only in Charleston!
BEACH FUN & MORE
Tucked in between two of South Carolina’s largest cities, you’ll be spoilt for choice over the number of attractions found around the lake. Since Charleston is just a short drive away, be sure to drop by for a chance to sample the town’s best beaches - Isle of Palm or Folly Beach. When packing your RV rental, don’t forget to throw in some sunscreen lotion.
If Folly Beach is your beach of choice, indulge in a self-guided tour to the edge of the island, which is locally referred to as “The Edge of America." Don’t forget a camera as the Morris Island Lighthouse is insta-worthy. If time allows it, make your way to the end of East Ashley Avenue for some snaps of the striking street graffiti.

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.
Traveler
Great host, very helpful. Campground is adding several new full hookup sites probably will be ready in spring of ‘23. Several long term guests that can be noisy at times.
Scout
Level sites with full hook-ups, some paved. Staff are polite and respectful. On-site security, potable water refill stations. Sites are reasonably spaced and the campground is next to the beach. Small store, ice cream parlor, and pizza restaurant that will deliver to your site. Events go on here often, like concerts, Halloween trick-or-treat, Christmas celebrations, Thanksgiving meals, etc. Quiet hours are perfect and enforced. Cannot beat the price on rv storage which is by the quarter, not monthly. Bathhouses are always clean. Have stayed there many times and love it. They even have a rv garage if you need work done.
Scout
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.
Guide
Sweet spot near Myrtle Beach, SC yet far enough away from the overwhelming commercial properties, yet so many things to do!Beautiful Marsh walk to view birds and other critters at low tide (bring tons of bug spray in the summer), beautiful flat beach (great for walks), visit Atalaya Castle, the historical home on the property, then cross the highway to Brookgreen Gardens (spectacular Christmas lights display is a MUST see during the holiday season) to enjoy the sculptures and multitudes of plants. They have plenty of other amenities including RV hookups, beach shower facilities, ADA friendly beach access, picnic tables, playground, nature center. Palm trees galore! What are you doing still reading this post? Get there now! Watch out for Sea Turtles!

I absolutely love Short Stay! It is so laid back and peaceful. The only complaint I have is the WIFI. I am staying in the long term camping area and I have no WIFI connection. The short term area has an OK WIFI signal, but not the best.
ScoutNice campground. Verizon worked well, good OTA TV, from our spot I-1 we couldn't get satellite, but others would have been just fine. Nice place to walk the dogs. Nice pond for fishing. About a 50-50 mix of long term campers and short term but no issues at all. Works stay here again.
RangerLarge park with paved and grass sites. I stayed in a paved full hookup site P2 and, even though there were a fair amount of guests, they spread everyone out so I had no immediate neighbors. To control the spacing, they do not let you pick your own site. The facilities looked basic, and the office building that greets guests needs to be remodeled, but the park is clean and felt very safe. Lovely, large oaks with gray moss provide that quintessential Charleston/Savannah setting. There’s a small pool, dog park, pasture with cows, and a play area. My favorite feature was the recycling area! Almost no RV parks provide recycling, so the fact that this park does is really nice. Tip: Beware of ant piles.
Ranger
Old campgrounds but have full hook-ups. Beach side has sandy lots with waist hi weeds around electric poles and water spouts. Clean new bathrooms. The golf cart parade every night is an accident waiting to happen with children driving them and Zero street lights at best and people can't cross from the beach to get back. Pools were nice and Food trucks every night were excellent 👌.
Scout
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! 😁
TravelerWe’ve camped here for about 2 weeks annually since 2015. It’s fairly well run, has decent restrooms, and a secluded tent area. All RV sites have 30-50 amp & water. The South Campground was added a few years back & has full hook-ups just behind the beach dunes. There’s lots to do in the area. Campsite prices have skyrocketed in the last few years.
Guide
Good location and quiet even though it sits right near Hwy 17 in a busy section of the city. Huge catch-and-release lake for fishing. The staff goes out of their way to accommodate your needs. Weak WiFi signal, but they will loan you a modem at no extra charge to connect to the Ethernet at the power post which is connected to a site-wide fiber optic network. It sits on a historic plantation that is only accessible by KOA guests with hay rides Monday through Thursday. Full hook-up with propane refill and dump station. Very near Wal-mart and Lowe's for shopping, among other stores. I recommend this KOA.
Scout
We have been on the road for six weeks and this has been our favorite campground. It is maintained so well and the camp host is always working to keep it clean and well groomed. There aren’t a lot of amenities, but there are full hook ups and clean bathrooms.
GuideShort-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. Great for fishing, swimming, camping, RV, and much more. There is a swimming beach and the camp store has boat kayak rental and propane tank refill. The sites on the lake have full hook-up and there is a dump station for those that do not.
ScoutThis was a beyond beautiful park. From walking trails, the pristine bathrooms, and incredible dog park, we couldn’t have had a better stay. We should have stayed longer. We stayed at site 29, a large pull through with full hook ups. It was like having your own private driveway. It was also incredibly close to downtown Charleston and sites. We plan on coming back!
GuideAbsolutely stunning park! The amount of bird/wildlife watching here is unbelievable! The north rv/tent loop is very spacious with an abundance of grass and trees, all sites have power & water but only a few dozen with sewer. The south rv straight has full hook ups and concrete pads but are not as spacious as the north loop. Bath houses are clean and have been recently updated with fresh tile and fixtures. The beach itself is large and covered with pristine white sand, all beach access paths are well maintained and pretty in there own right. Highly recommend a visit to this park!!! Super convenient to everything but peacefully tucked away for your enjoyment. 🌅
ScoutThis is a military CG so Military ID is needed. Very clean and level sites with full hookups. Most all sites are paved and easy access to downtown Charleston 🏝 you will here jets taking off and landing with the occasional gun fire from the firing range. Best of all taps and reveille are a mainstay everyday❤️
Guide
This place was just okay compared to other places. I mostly picked this place because online it states that it has a lot more to offer than it actually does, and there is ZERO privacy. Most of the sites are long term, we did get a waterfront site, but because people anchor their boats anywhere they please, this means people were driving their golf carts all over our campsite day and night, and parking their carts all over the back part of our site. Im talking 11pm parking directly outside our windows and talking. Not a fan. Also, the website states that they have a rec center, they don’t. It’s an empty building with no AC. No volley ball. Basketball court has seen better days. Restaurant is good but more expensive than I think it’s worth. One big redeeming factor is that the pool is awesome. Would I stay here again? Probably not.
ScoutThis is a great state park with an absolutely beautiful beach. Dogs are allowed year round. However we stayed in the new south campground and did not love it. Sites are very close together and about 5 of them have an ugly electric grid right on your site. Check with park to make sure you are not booking one. Also the full hook up is outrageously expensive. The beach access is going to be great once they get it open from the new campground. Bathhouse is really nice. If you stay in this campground the sites on the beach side are much nicer. The sites across the road are angled for constant sunlight even with canopy. Not good in the summer. I will go again but I will be in the older campground!
GuideThis place has everything! Literally. A market, arcade, snake bar, equipment rental, water park, mini golf, and on and on... I have stayed in Surfside Beach hotels before and love falling to sleep listening to the waves crashing on shore. I never thought I could do the same and bring my own bathroom! And if you like to walk, the quaint and beautiful town of Surfside Beach is only 1.5 miles down the beach. We saw pelicans, gulls and dolphins. The sites are quite close together, but all are full hook-up. Highly recommend Ocean Lakes.

Reservations during the main season are key if you have any hope of getting a campsite in this awesome Francis Marion National Forest campground which sits just along the gorgeous intercoastal waterway, about 40 minutes northeast of Charleston, SC! We pulled in without reservations and nearly every site was booked out. The campground host was super helpful, though, finding us an empty spot (due to a cancellation) for a couple nights, then moved us to a non-reservable site for the remainder of our time.
The majority of the sites are designed for very large RVs, with a few very nice waterfront sites designated for tents. Each site is spacious, complete with a picnic table, firepit, 2 lantern poles, and electrical hookups, with a dump station at the back of the campground. The bathrooms are equipped with flush toilets, sinks, and a shower and kept relatively clean.
The campground itself is dripping with live oaks and speckled with Palmetto trees, so lots of shade is available, especially in the tent areas. The boat launch is walking distance from the campground and has a nice picnic area adjacent to it. We watched a pods of pelicans and dolphins come through the area, as well as many other sea birds.
We kayaked along the intercoastal waterway and out into marshy sea grass areas and had one of the most amazing wildlife encounters to date (and we’ve been all over the country). We saw a pod of dolphins in the distance, which appeared to be feeding. We stopped about 150 away and just enjoyed watching them dance and dive in the morning light. Then, two of the dolphins peeled away from the pack and headed straight toward us. As they approached our kayaks, the larger one gave an extra tail fin flap and dove under our boats, coming up just a bit on the other side. As naturalists, our hearts were pounding with excitement! We also hiked and mountain-biked along the gorgeous Palmetto Trail (which is a mountains-to-sea trail across South Carolina, and this campground serves as its coastal terminus).
Also, don’t miss the famous Sewee Restaurant for some downeast coastal Carolina fare, as well as the Center for Birds of Prey just across the highway from this restaurant. This wildlife conservation and rehabilitation center is doing some amazing things for birds and in the region and doing a great job of public education. If you head up the coast, be sure to stop in Boats & Hoagies in McClellanville for a bite to eat. Cute place, great food, awesome service!
The $20 per night fee is a great price for the amenities this campground offers, especially with full hook-ups and showers, and a boat launch. Check out our blog on The Dyrt's Online Magazine about our experience on the coast of South Carolina.
LegendI grew up near here, and Huntington Beach was our go to spot for primitive camping and a place to escape the tourists.
You can do full hook up or primitive camping here. I've done both with church groups, the family, and solo.
This is a pretty awesome place with no shortage of things to do...
And, I saved the best for last...if you go out walking late at night, you can catch the big gators warming themselves on the road by moonlight. Just don't get too close. They're pretty fast.
Guide
We stayed at this campground July 2018. We have a 27’ travel trailer, a 9 yr old daughter and 12 yr old son, and 2 boxers. Checkin was very easy. We drove up to the gate, they gave us our paperwork and drove to our site. Our site was 7002. It was the last street in the resort and the furthest away from the pool and amenities. We drove our car to the pool and there was plenty of parking there. We had a great view of the beach. Across the street are empty lots which was a great place to walk our dogs. And next to these lots are a small canal which was great to fish. You could see minnows swimming around.
like most rv resorts this place packed them in like sardines. Where we were it looked nice but when you went down the main road and got into the 1000 sections it looked really trashy.
The beach is small with no lifeguards Lakewood does not supply lifeguards. This beach does not have a shower at the beach but that was fine because we have one outside our travel trailer.
our kids enjoyed the pool area. The 3 water slides were great. 1 speed slide (it was super fast), 1 tube slide which was a lot of fun, and 1 body slide. The water slides are new. There is also a lazy river that was a sorry excuse for a lazy river. It was a small circle area and did not flow real well so you had to push yourself around. Complaint: there are not enough tubes. I asked a lifeguard if they had any tubes and she said “it’s really busy this week and they have no more”. They should have enough tubes to accommodate every rv spot in that place. The pool wasn’t even that busy the day we were there. So if you stay here be prepared to not get a tube. Also, some of the lifeguards are rude. Did not find this to be a happy place. Next to the water slide there is a good sized pool with a very outdated baby water slide. My kids loved this baby water slide but the area was very outdated. Around the pool there are chairs but not enough so we ended up placing our items on the concrete. There were a lot of people doing this. They need more seating.
There is an ice cream shop which was very nice, a good size arcade, and a coffee shop and we utilized all 3. They were far from our site but we drove our car to them and it wasn’t a problem.
At the front gate there is a small store and it did not have very much. I drove to Walmart to get the food items I needed.
There are 2 food trucks. 1 is pizza, wings, etc and the other is a fish fry. The pizza truck was just ok and they do not deliver to your campsite. the fish fry was never open. We tend to eat late when we are on vacation so I think we missed the fish fry everyday.
I saw signs for car/rv wash but never used that service.
I was not happy with Lakewood but my husband loved it because it was very quiet. That’s the difference between us. I love hustle and bustle and he likes simple and quiet.
when we return to Myrtle beach we will not stay at Lakewood. I feel that there are better places to stay in Myrtle beach. My husband disagrees with this statement 😄
GuideWe had a perfect spot, right on the beach. It is an enormous park, they have beach houses, permanent homes, mobile homes and rv spaces. The RVs get the best spot. The water park looked fun (I was there off season) and everything was clean and the employees friendly. Would stay here again when passing through to a final destination.
TravelerOceanfront lots look to be the best spots “if” you can get one. We were on Schooner and to say it was tight getting into our spot is an UNDERSTATEMENT!! Thankfully, campers are very helpful people ( they also can park your camper/trailer for you if needed) Not a lot of water pressure in the bathhouse showers but clean! Would’ve just liked a bit more breathing room.
GuideThis RV park was very clean and the base offered a good amount of amenities. There were about 5 tent sites and the rest RV sites. We stayed in site C and it flooded a bit in the rain but the other sites seemed to do fine.
LegendWe had a great week at Buck Hall! The campground isn't very large so I definitely recommend making a reservation. During shrimp baiting season (60 days starting the Friday nearest September 15) the campground is completely booked. Plan accordingly! There is really nice boat landing and fishing/crabbing pier in the campground. We had a blast kayaking around and had some awesome dolphin encounters. The historic town of McClellanville is super cute and I definitely recommend a seafood dinner at TW Graham's! Their key lime pie is amazing as well! The nearby Sewee Visitor Center has red wolves and is free to visit. They also have RV parking! We enjoyed this, but if you have kids I think it would be a must do! You can call ahead and find out when they will be feeding the wolves. The crabbing is great at the campground and we had a delicious crab boil as a result! The only reason I am not giving this campground 5 stars is that the bathrooms were pretty gross. They were working on them while we were there so maybe there is a brighter future for these run down bath houses. Our hotspots worked great here too!
