Tent campites on the Intercoastal Waterway overlooking the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge. This is a nature lovers dream. We offer primitive campsites that have access to communal water sources, power, restrooms, and shower facilities. Our campground has a full length basketball court, Pickleball Court, and swings for your enjoyment. You will have access to a floating dock for launch of kayaks into the Intracoastal Waterway. If you do not have your own kayak, we always have them for rent. There is easy access to the iconic Awendaw Passage of the Palmetto Trail, which runs directly through the property and offers hiking and off-road biking opportunities. If you love to set up hammocks, we encourage that on our many majestic Oaks and Palmettos around the property. There are also many offsite activities in the surrounding area that you can enjoy. Please refer to the park map in the photos. The Flushing Toilets, Showers, and Water source is located at the Conference Center area of the property(there are portable toilets at waterfront). You will need to bring something to store your water in. Power access is at the Conference Center and a single access point at the waterfront. You can easily drive between the waterfront camping area and the Conference Center. You can drive directly to the sites and park. We do allow camper vans and small popup tents/campers. We do not have hookups at each site so you will need to plan accordingly. Anything over 20 feet is not allowed. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table. There is a communal area at the end of dock for everyone to enjoy. The swings and basketball/pickleball court is for everyone as well(basketballs, pickleball equipment, soccer balls, footballs, and other recreation equipment are provided).
$25 / night

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.

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!
TravelerLoved the location, and it’s so fun waking up to cattle!
TravelerOvernight stop, kinda tight getting off the 2 lane road into the entrance. Not too far from 95. Traffic was noisy as we had a spot right up front. Works for an overnight but nothing more.
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!!!
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.

The north campground has much more shade and privacy than the south campground.
We enjoyed watching the bird life and being in easy walking distance to the beach itself. The camping area was quiet and clean even though very busy on a weekend. The beach itself was peaceful and lovely even on a somewhat rainy day. Traffic getting in and out of the park is pretty crazy, rushing by on a 4 lane road leading to Myrtle Beach. We enjoyed our 2 relaxing nights and look forward to a return trip sometime.
TravelerThe dunes, sea oats, sands, lighthouse in background, perfect waves!! My husband spent hours body-surfing, and we explored the interesting patterns the winds had made in the beautiful sands. Its a remarkable spot. The campground is somewhat smaller than some, and with limited shade; our site was fairly level for a small rig, but the natural beauty of this island more than compensates! The North Beach access was in easy walking distance. The Camp Host was especially helpful when I thought I lost my keys. Our only complaint was heavy local traffic driving there for late afternoon check-in. Great adventure and we will be back!!

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! 😁

Former KOA of the year campground. Just off the freeway with a bit of highway noise but heavily wooded and just plain beautiful.
Ranger
This place is fine, really just a circle of sites with hookups in an open field. Pretty trees and sunsets!
GuideHISP has a pristine beach and well situated campground area separate from the public beach access area. Restrooms nice and clean with hot water in the shower. Washer/dryer set up as well and camp store is fully equipped and lots of souvenirs.
Campsite numbers are marked on electric boxes so kind of hard to see.

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 is such a shame. I have always enjoyed going to Camelot Farms and have been every year for the past several years. I was initially excited to hear Camelot had opened back up the camping facilities and decided that although the price has increased 300% as compared to before the sale, I would continue my tradition of beach riding with my best friend. I contacted Gini Quade who had stated in several posts on FB to reach out and she could facilitate this trip. She also provided a number to call. I have called the number several times this week with no response. I then reached out again through text message and the message was read but no reply. Again, I tried calling only to find out I was provided the wrong number. I reached out yet again through FB to let Ms. Quade know that I was provided the wrong number and requested the correct number. Yet again the message was read with zero response. Unfortunately, the weekend has now arrived and STILL cannot get a response. I will be contacting management. Good luck to all of you who try to plan a trip. I hope you have much more success than I have had. This has been a very disappointing experience.

Fresh blueberries!

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.
Guide
Stopped on the way to Maggie Valley NC. Nice half way spot from Fl. Full hookups available. Our 35 ft rv fit perfect in the spot. They are dirt/sand sites. The camp store wasn’t opened when we were there for the 1 night. Right beside a cow farm to look at. A fishing pond is available but the water was super murky. Everyone was friendly. Fire pit available. Would recommend. Super cool playground with an awesome swing. See video. 😊
Traveler
Super friendly staff, great location, waterfront camping and I can bring my boat. We had a great time. The problem is all the annual residents don’t follow their own rules. No one is supposed to drive trough the campsites, people were driving trough and walking through our campsite at all hours.

Quick 1 night stay Aug 31, 2023. Fast check in. Nice info packet upon arrival. They even had a free kitchen trash bag in it. They pick up trash at your site. 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. All employees kind and happy looking. Nice dog park. Had a 30lb propane tank filled at what I would consider a decent price. There were other amenities, but we didn't use them. A little bit of a noisy area, but we've been in worse. Would stay again.
ScoutCAUTION: The directions provided by The Dyrt to this location are incorrect. It is not located on Sand Hill. So please use Google Maps to find the location or you will be down a long dirt road with no place to turn around.
Black Pearl Farms fit most of our expectations. However, I did make some poor assumptions regarding the information. We were in spot 3 which had "access to power and water". Which was true, but not what I assumed. The site was a few yards away from a wash area to get water from and there was a 12 volt power cord outside to plug into.
Our dog loved having the space to roam around and the camping spots were in a wooded area behind the farm. We stayed in number 3, but if we return our preference would be for number 2.
Anyway, it was a nice spot once we arrived.
LegendWe stopped for one night on our way north. We had a ok site. The two best sites are 52 and 16. This KOA had a nice clean pool, a big chess game, panning for gold, a playground, a lake, a neat old phone booth that is a lending library and the Mermaid Coffee bar and Cafe. They do wine and beer tastings or you can just buy a glass of either. The sell Hunts brothers Pizzas that were cooked in a pizza machine, they were great. They have a small store if you need some things. This KOA has some cabins that are nice looking, a few of them are old train caboose’s. Very nice place to visit. To top it off a beautiful sunset.
TravelerThe location is very convenient to most areas in town. We enjoyed the Fun Park next door. Our campsite was extremely close to the neighbor so a fire was out of the question. Bathrooms were kinda dirty every time we went in there
Scout
Very nice clean
GuideA very peaceful and friendly atmosphere in a country setting. The owners are very friendly and well mannered country people. Everyone that we met were polite and liked sharing. It does have a fishing pond and the guest are welcome to use it. I would recommend everyone that comes through St. George to visit this lovely place whether it’s one night to rest, a few days to get away, stop in. Pet friendly and has a playground for the kids to play .
TravelerPrimitive site with fire pit and picnic table. Perfect for the ones who need quiet and isolation. Minutes away from typical groceries or dollar stores. Self check in and check out. Only reason why it's not a full 5 stars is simply having to move cow droppings for set up. Definitely would go back!
