Best Campgrounds near Hardeeville, SC

Hardeeville, South Carolina serves as a strategic base for campers exploring the coastal Lowcountry region, with several RV-focused campgrounds situated between major attractions. Lake Jasper RV Park, located just off I-95, provides lakeside camping with full hookups and access to Sergeant Jasper Park's hiking trails. The area primarily caters to RV travelers, with most facilities offering concrete pads, 30/50-amp service, and water connections. Many campgrounds function as convenient basecamps for day trips to nearby Savannah, Georgia (30 minutes southwest) and Hilton Head Island (30 minutes southeast), allowing visitors to experience both historic urban areas and coastal beaches while returning to quieter accommodations.

Humidity and heat dominate summer conditions, with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F from June through September. Hurricane season (June-November) occasionally brings severe weather and flooding to coastal areas. As one camper noted about nearby Lake Jasper RV Park, "It's right off the highway with many gas stations and stores along the way. The lakeside sites are really pretty with the sun setting over the lake." Most campgrounds in the region require advance reservations, particularly during spring break and summer vacation periods. Wildlife considerations include alligators in freshwater areas, with warning signs posted at many waterfront campgrounds. Mosquitoes can be problematic, especially during warmer months and after rainfall.

The natural landscape features characteristic Lowcountry elements including live oaks draped with Spanish moss, pine forests, and freshwater lakes. Campers frequently mention the convenience of Hardeeville's location for exploring the region. "Great location right off I-95 and a quick drive to Hilton Head and Savannah," noted one visitor to Lake Jasper RV Park. Amenities vary significantly between properties, with upscale resorts offering pools, restaurants, and recreational facilities, while more basic campgrounds provide essential hookups at lower rates. Pet-friendly policies are common throughout the area, though some properties impose breed or size restrictions. Cell coverage is generally reliable across most campgrounds, with visitors reporting good service for major carriers including AT&T and Verizon, making the area suitable for remote workers.

    River's End Campground & RV Park

    No complaints!!

    This Campground was great, lots of nice shower rooms, a snack room, fitness room, pool & close to the Lighthouse & beach! A few restaurants within bike or scooter distance. The campground is shaded by Live Oaks & very neat & well kept, we were very content!

    Fort McAllister State Park Campground

    Loved to be immersed in Nature

    This turned out to be one of our favorite campgrounds (on a trip between Philadelphia and Savannah). We loved to be immersed in nature and like to discover wildlife. We saw deer, racoon, opossum and armadillo at Fort Mc Allister. Off course there are also lots of bugs and mosquitos that is the downside of this swampy jungle. Campground has nice spots, full hook up available, good shower facilities and not to far to combine with a Savannah visit (very nice town by the way).

    Green Acres RV Camping

    Best Place I’ve Stayed

    This was by far the best campground I have ever stayed at. Owner watches out for his land and makes his guests feel very important. I’m a travel therapist and move all over the US every 3 months, and this was the best I’ve stayed. Owner is very understanding and is willing to go above and beyond for his guests!! Some people moved out and left a mess when pulled out, by the end of the day it was all cleaned up. Very clean, couldn’t be happier💜

    Hilton Head National RV Resort

    Stay Here

    This is by far the best camp ground I have ever stayed at. Clean and spacious sites. The Bath house and private shower area were 5-star hotel quality. Great dog park very clean with separate areas for large and small pets. The pool, lazy river, Tiki Bar and restaurant area was top quality, providing plenty of lounge chairs, tables/w umbrellas, and free pool floats for the lazy river experience. The are plenty cabana setups throughout the pool complex. They were quite expensive and frankly mostly empty for the week I stayed there.(August). Food was outstanding and consistent throughout our stay. My family highly recommends a stay. We will be back.

    New Green Acres RV Park

    Nice campgrounds

    Nice, a bit rustic. Mostly drive through and all very long. FHU, all grass and gravel sites with lots of shade. Has a pool but currently being repaired. Animal friendly, nice dog park.

    Lake Jasper RV Park

    Beautiful resort

    Extremely friendly, clean and loaded with amenities which included a covered area which a gas grill and picnic table. Comfortable pool area, and a full-size laundry and clean restrooms. Lake side camp sites with relaxing views. Looking forward to our next visit.

    CreekFire RV Resort

    Overall a good stay, will be back

    Campground is super clean and friendly staff. Love having the resort like pool/lazy river/splash pad.

    Sites are packed in pretty well, but they do a good job dividing them off from one another so it doesn't feel too cramped. Unfortunately not a lot of shade to be found.

    Sites are angled so it makes backing in a breeze! And the concrete pad was almost perfectly level which made setup so quick!

    Spacious Skies Savannah Oaks

    More greed than hospitality

    My biggest regret is that I didn't read the reviews before booking. I'm usually very tolerant of small issues and I feel that hospitality goes a long way. Unfortunately, the issues weren't small and the hospitality was non-existent. But when we arrived at Spacious Skies RV park in Savannah we were made to feel unwelcome from the very beginning. We arrived at 11:15 am and were told we could only enter the park after 12:00pm after paying a$10 early check in fee. There were several empty sites but we were refused entry and told to go away and come back after noon. Our site#67 was a very small dirt and gravel spot just steps away from a busy highway. Honestly, we would have been better off at an interstate rest area. This is consistent with some of the reviews I've seen on their own website. Here's a summary of what I found: REVIEWS* Unreasonable refund policies.* Little or no flexibility for early or late check-ins* Some guests refused check-in after 8pm, even in cases out of their control, such as heavy traffic. Don't bother calling, they offer no exceptions.* Excessive fees and rules* Claims of racism* No sleeping in hammocks, even on a freestanding frame* Small, dirty and noisy sites too close to the highway.*Cockroaches*Turned away because RVs were not"factory made"*Dirty facilities. POLICIES AND FEES:* No check-in before noon, or after 8pm.(This is enforced, but not on the agreement you must docusign upon booking)* For an extra fee($10?) you can"lock-in" your chosen site.*$10 fee for guests who may wish to visit.*$10 fee for fishing.*$25 per pet per reservation* Retractable leashes MUST be less than 6 feet in length.* Pets must have a tag on their collar with the owner's phone number.* Golf carts(electric only) must be registered and inspected. Factory made golf carts only.* Prohibited Items: include, but are not limited to, flags, stickers, garden displays or site decor that are political in nature...* Apparently, there are some similar restrictions on speech. But they do encourage"...flags, stickers, garden displays or site decor that are meant to celebrate personal identity in a non-aggressive manner."* When you sign the agreement, you're also agreeing to allow them to use your photo in their advertisements. As long as they can extract as much money from you as possible, they will tolerate your presence. Due to their draconian refund policies, we wound up forfeiting all of the money we paid. In the end I don't regret it. We went about a mile down the road to Creekfire RV park where we were warmly greeted and immediately given a last-minute reservation for a lakeside spot with a wonderful view. I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy all of their amenities, such a pool with a lazy river and a lakeside restaurant. There's also a KOA in Richmond Hill just a few miles to the south with friendly staff, lakeside sites and several restaurants.
