Cabin accommodations in the Goose Creek area include both rustic and modernized options at several established campgrounds. Foster Creek RV Park and Villas offers cabin rentals with basic amenities including electricity, water hookups, and level concrete pads. Other sites like Short Stay Navy Outdoor Moncks Corner and Charleston KOA provide cabin options with varying levels of furnishing. "Nice RV Site if you are visiting Charleston, South Carolina. The site is very hot due to no trees. Currently the restrooms and showers are down, so you need to have a self contained unit," noted one visitor about Foster Creek, highlighting the importance of confirming amenity availability before booking. Most cabins include air conditioning, though specific features vary significantly between locations.
Rustic log cabins and KOA-style cabin accommodations constitute the primary options in the region, with several military-affiliated sites requiring service verification for booking. Cabin reservations typically require advance planning, especially during summer months when occupancy rates increase. Pet policies vary by location—Charleston KOA permits pets in some cabin units while maintaining specific leash requirements. Foster Creek cabins accommodate military families at lower rates, though recent reviews indicate maintenance issues at some properties. According to one camper, "We were here in 2018 and park was great. Not so much now. Several sites are out of commission and the grounds are in bad need of maintenance."
Most cabins provide basic furniture but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from minimal to moderately equipped, with some cabins offering refrigerators and microwaves while others provide only basic countertop space. Visitors should verify which cooking supplies are included before arrival. Firewood is available for purchase at most locations including James Island County Park and Oak Plantation Campground, though fire restrictions may apply seasonally. On-site markets exist at several properties including Mount Pleasant-Charleston KOA, though selection is typically limited to essentials. Grocery stores and supply shops are accessible within driving distance of most cabin locations.

Great place to camp
We love the Live oaks campground in Edisto Beach State Park. Level sites with plenty of privacy. We are in site 120 this trip and we have stayed in sites 118 and 122 on previous trips. these sites back onto the salt marsh which gives you some incredible scenery just behind the site

One of the best!
We were traveling with two large dogs and looking for a pet friendly site. This is a people friendly site so many game playing areas swimming pool and clean manicured lawns with a lake view on some sites.

Campground at James Island County Park
Busy but fun!
We stayed here while attending the Highwater Music Festival. We brought our bikes, but it’s not safe to ride out if the campground to the festival or the beach, so we drove them to a spot outside of the grounds and then ride from there.
So much to do inside this campground and park! It was very busy, but we didn’t feel it was too loud - still plenty of opportunity to enjoy nature.

quick stopover
Check in was easy, folks friendly. Water pressure to RV was weak, not sure we had 50 amp electric voltage, cause our battery level was down to 1/3 in am. It was very hot, ran two AC’s, and have electric fridge. Still trying to figure out why, when plugged into power, our battery level is lower then when we plugged into pole.

LegendHarry's Fish Camp
A True South Carolina Fish Camp Experience
If you're looking for a rustic RV depot on the water's edge with limited amenities, but an absolutely pristine view of Lake Marion, Harry's Fish Camp is a great spot, as long as your expectations are managed, as this is more of an outdoor fishing paradise than it is a polished RV resort. So if your idea of the perfect camping trip starts with launching the boat before sunrise, spending the day chasing trophy catfish and striped bass on the legendary Lake Marion and returning to camp for a fresh seafood dinner overlooking the water, you'll feel right at home. Tucked away in the quiet community of Pineville, Harry's is one of those classic Santee Cooper fish camps that has earned its reputation through generations of anglers rather than flashy marketing. The atmosphere is relaxed, authentic and refreshingly unpretentious.
The campground caters to both RV campers and anglers, offering full-hookup RV sites, bathhouse facilities, showers, laundry, a dump station and pet-friendly accommodations. The real stars, however, are the waterfront amenities: two boat ramps, four fishing piers, a fish-cleaning station with running water and electricity, a well-stocked tackle shop and convenient boat storage. There's also a sandy swimming beach nearby with a designated swimming area for families looking to cool off after a day on the water. While the campground isn't luxurious, it delivers exactly what its guests come for: easy access to some of the best freshwater fishing in the Southeast.
Harry's location places you in the heart of the famed Santee Cooper lake system, encompassing more than 170,000 acres of world-class fishing and boating opportunities. Whether you're targeting largemouth bass, catfish, crappie or striped bass, you're launching directly into one of the country's premier freshwater fisheries. Birdwatchers and paddlers will also appreciate the surrounding cypress swamps and quiet backwaters. If you need supplies, Billy's General Store is just a short drive away for fuel, groceries and last-minute essentials, while Harry's own restaurant is well known locally for its fried catfish and traditional Southern cooking.
Insider's tips? Here's a handful: (1) Arrive early if you're planning to launch a boat during peak fishing weekends as this place turns into a 'traffic jam' on the water from 8am onwards; (2) If available, request one of the waterfront campsites for easy access to the marina and beautiful sunrise views; (3) Bring plenty of bug spray during the warmer months as mosquitoes can be incredibly active around the marshes; (4) Don't leave without trying the fried catfish dinner at Harry's restaurant ... trust me, it's part of the whole experience while staying here; (5) If you're bringing your own boat, take advantage of the on-site fish-cleaning station before heading home; and (6) If you're visiting for several days, consider hiring one of the area's experienced fishing guides to learn the seasonal patterns of the Santee Cooper lakes.
Happy Camping!

Edisto Beach State Park Campground
Beach Campground -- It Doesn't Get Much Better Than This!
This is our absolute favorite campsite of all time! It is very private and secluded, but right around the corner from the beach. It is for tents and small campers only, as we barely had enough room to get our pop up backed up in the site with the truck. The site slopes up, evens out, and then slopes right back down to the fire ring and picnic table. Our pop up is a 10-foot box and it was just enough room to get it on the level spot without sloping one way or the other. It was also just wide enough for our awning to be set out with a little room to walk around. Once situated, there is plenty of room at the picnic table and fire ring to sit around and park bikes, etc.
There is plenty of shade and you can hear the waves crashing on the beach. The site also has water and electric hookups, but we try to bring our own water since you can still taste the salt. It is so relaxing!
This is on the Beach Campground and the only problem we noticed it is that the outdoor shower for washing off sand from the beach has low visibility because it is on the road side of the bathhouse and not the beach side. The result is people clogging up the showers with sand because they don't even see the outdoor shower in some cases.
The park has some amazing nature trails to bike and hike as well as a nice educational nature center.
We always enjoy our stay here and will definitely continue to book here as long as we can.

What to do
**Outdoor adventures: Explore James Island County Park's extensive recreation facilities. "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," explains a visitor to James Island County Park.
**Water activities: Rent kayaks or paddleboards at Short Stay Navy Recreation Area. "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," notes a camper at Short Stay Navy Outdoor Moncks Corner.
**Historical exploration: Take the free plantation wagon ride at Mount Pleasant KOA. "They also had a free wagon ride to a nearby plantation a couple of times a week. We actually missed it but would really like to take the time to do it if we ever get back," shares a visitor at Mount Pleasant-Charleston KOA.
What campers like
**Privacy and space: Oak Plantation offers secluded sites. "Large 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," reports a camper from Oak Plantation Campground.
**Swimming options: James Island County Park features water recreation. "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," describes a visitor.
**Lakefront views: Short Stay Navy Recreation Area provides waterfront camping. "We love camping at Short Stay. The only downfall is the geese. They leave a mess everywhere. But otherwise the people are friendly, the rates are great, and it's nice to be right on the lake," shares a military camper.
What you should know
**Military restrictions: Several cabin facilities require service verification. "This is a military campground!" points out a reviewer about Foster Creek RV Park, while another notes about Short Stay, "Heads up you must be military to stay here."
**Variable maintenance levels: Facility upkeep varies significantly between locations. "Several sites are out of commission and the grounds are in bad need of maintenance. No bathrooms, showers, laundry, wifi, cable, and Verizon is sketchy," reports a camper at Foster Creek RV Park and Villas.
**Reservation planning: Peak season requires advance planning. "This campground is near Charleston, SC and the Beach at Isle of Palms," explains a visitor to Mount Pleasant KOA, highlighting its popular location that necessitates early booking.
Tips for camping with families
**Dog-friendly options: Several parks accommodate pets with specific areas. "They have waste bags scattered throughout the park and a huge dog park. (But it's quite far from the campers)," notes a visitor to Mount Pleasant-Charleston KOA.
**Kid activities: Look for parks with dedicated play areas. "There are multiple playgrounds and many kid friendly activities to do including corn horn and other games," shares a camper from Mount Pleasant KOA.
**Educational experiences: Try Givhans Ferry State Park for nature learning. "Small campground not far from Charleston and very close to Bee City Zoo. This campground has several shelters one with a fireplace at both ends. The tent camping area is awesome and has a great layout with lockable chuck boxes on each site along with power and water," explains a visitor.
Tips from RVers
**Site selection: Choose perimeter sites at James Island for maximum space. "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," advises an experienced RVer.
**Traffic considerations: Oak Plantation requires careful entry/exit planning. "The road in front of campground is extremely busy (Hwy 17) and I wouldn't attempt ever turning left to get out. Just take a right and another right behind campground to get you out. It may take longer but worth your sanity," suggests a camper.
**Seasonal pest control: Prepare for ants at some locations. "We got a tip from a neighboring RVer to spray for small ants anywhere that the RV touches the ground so the ants won't crawl up and get in our RV as it did theirs. We promptly went to buy ant spray and never had a problem," shares a visitor at Colleton State Park Campground.
