    Lake Jasper RV Park

    Lake Jasper RV Park

    We spent 5 days here at this lake park using it as a base camp to visit our son and family in Bluffton, SC. (30 minute drive) Not far from Savannah, Georgia also. It’s a nice place with both back in and pull through sites.. some close to the lake.

    Fort McAllister State Park Campground

    Beautiful woods and cool fort

    This park is out on the edge of town. All the spaces were far apart from each other. Most of them were pull through, but beware some of the pull through had trees which would limit larger trailers or coaches getting into the sites. All the sites for camping I believe had at least water and electric and I think some of them had sewer as well. There were nice showers and even a laundry facility. Nice little hike through the magnolia trail where I spotted deer, raccoons, and armadillo, and several squirrels. Also if you book online you don’t get the senior discount but if you go into the office they will give it to you. And don’t miss going through the fort and the museum. Very interesting part of our history.

    Edisto River Lodge

    Hidden Gem in Ridgeville

    This is an incredible hidden gem and I will be returning. Dustin is a great host. He met me when I pulled up and helped me back into my site. That was a little bit of a challenge but I made it. Site 2 has a great view of the pond, a gazebo, fire pit, lots of seating and nice picnic table. At night there is low-level lighting around the site that makes it beautiful. Now, let’s talk about the real surprise—the hot tub. What a find. After a busy Friday morning and then a drive out to Edisto River Lodge that hot tub was very welcome.

    The site is hardscaped (pavers) and easy to walk around. The gazebo and the fire pit were great places to hang out. The Wi-Fi was strong.

    There is a very nice bathroom with a washer-dryer (and even some soap). The shower is very private and outside.

    The electrical and power are on opposite site of what you would expect but I had no problem hooking up.

    Overall this is one of the nicest camp spots I’ve found in the past 10 years of camping. Highly recommended.

    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.
