TravelerFriendliest and most helpful hosts I've ever met. Stayed 1 night on a return trip from FL to ME. Ordered pizza that was delivered to our site (delicious) eating leftovers all the way home. I was at the dump station finishing up and ready to go when one of the crew asked if that was my water filter still at the site. Saved me the cost of filter, regulator, and quick disconnects. One more minute and I'd have been gone. Thanks for chasing me down.
ScoutGreat location. Great facilities
GuideWe 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
TravelerWe 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.
GuideWe 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.
GuideCheck 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.
ScoutGreat service .Tent camp here every year .
GuideThis 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.
ScoutGreat spot. Beautiful views. Lots of shade. Spot 57 would be hard to park in with a trailer due to having to climb the embankment a bit.

Water access: Direct water access ranks highly with glampers seeking natural swimming spots. Katie F. enjoyed Edisto Beach State Park Campground, noting: "We had a magical time at Edisto. The Beach campground was just steps from the ocean. Opt for sites 1-12 or 50-75. Bathrooms were great. Shelling was incredible-especially if you walk towards the inlet around low tide."
Seasonal crowds: Planning ahead helps secure preferred sites during busy periods. One camper at Santee State Park observed: "Downside is that it's super crowded. Apparently all the fishermen drag their families in along with their boats. While they're fishing, Mom and the kids are left in the campground."
Variable connectivity: Cell service and WiFi quality differs dramatically across glamping sites. At Givhans Ferry State Park Campground, a recent visitor noted: "The only issue is no cell service at least for us and we use att and Google fi."
Maintenance issues: Some glamping locations require updating or repairs. According to a Palmetto Shores RV Resort review: "Such a beautiful location but price doesn't match the upkeep. If you pay resort style prices (in which you do) you shouldn't have to work on shower heads in the bath house."

Tree hazards: Heavy foliage can make maneuvering difficult. One camper at New Green Acres RV Park cautioned: "This park has really really long spaces. It's great for when towing a long trailer too but be mindful that there is a whole pile of trees. So when making reservations make sure you let them know you need something long but also easily accessible too."
Hookup placement: Utility locations vary between sites and can present challenges. John W. from Givhans Ferry State Park shared: "30 foot trailer backed in no issues with plenty of room to pull truck in beside rig. They have some full hookup sites which is what I got.
