Best RV Parks & Resorts near Salem, SC

Crossroads is one of the best RV resort campgrounds we have been to. Staff are polite and very helpful, resort is extremely clean, quiet, well maintained and secure. Lake City downtown has so much to offer with a Arts and historical background.

Stayed for a week during ArtFields Competition. There is nothing about the campground that needs changed. Full hook-up, great wifi, clean like new bathrooms and free laundry. Trash is picked up every morning at the site. Gated grounds that is well maintained. There are some long term residents but everyone is quiet and polite. The train is quite loud, and the town is small and doesn't have a lot to do so it's the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. If your in town for a reason,  then it's the perfect place...but just not a camping destination.

The Farm has everything you need for a rv get away.  We enjoyed the trees, privacy and friendliness of the owners! Multi generational campground that has some long term campers as well as camping by some working short term in the area. Super close to Lake Robinson.

I absolutely love Short Stay! It is so laid back and peaceful. The only complaint I have is the WIFI. I am staying in the long term camping area and I have no WIFI connection. The short term area has an OK WIFI signal, but not the best.

Big Cypress Lake RV park is a smallish (approximately 10 sites) RV park located on a private lake. The lake has a walking path maintained by the landowners.

The site has fairly good reviews on Google. Electric (up to 50amp) and water hookups are available. There is a picnic area by the water, along with 2 docks you can fish from. A large grassy area is available for pets (must be leashed).

The park is owned currently by Tim and Jane Chestnut.

Short-stay is a beautiful camp right on Lake Moultrie a short distance from Charleston, SC. They have descent wifi and an pretty well stocked camp store, but the main attraction is huge Lake Moultrie. Great for fishing, swimming, camping, RV, and much more. There is a swimming beach and 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.

Campground is located near very busy rail road. Trains go by every few hours and are very loud. There is no laundromat or gift store. You are not allowed to have a fire. Big sites, full hook up and reasonable prices. Campground is located in the same place where there is an event center. During our trip there was a wedding and the crowd was loud and it felt like we were camping in the parking lot of the Walmart. It is new campground and it is clean.

My family and I travel to Bennettsville, SC frequently and we usually mooch dock with family. In the past, there haven't been any campgrounds close to the area. Recently, we stumbled upon LumberJack RV on our last visit, desperately needing a place to empty the tanks and the owner made us feel very welcome. The RV Park is nice, and the staff are awesome. In today's world it's not often that you come across great customer service. If you are just traveling through and need an overnight stay or looking for a nice quiet RV park in small town America, don't hesitate to visit LumberJack RV Park.

If you haven’t been to a roadside circus lately or don’t want to shell out the dough for Disney World, then this particular RV amusement park location just off of I-95 and due south of the North Carolina/ South Carolina border may just be the perfect spot for you. 

With a wide-array of parallel, elongated parking lanes for your parking pleasure, all of the sites come equipped with the typical 30/ 50 amp electrical hook-ups, waste disposal and water connections. There’s the standard picnic table, fire ring/BBQ, garbage receptacles, 3-4 communal bathhouses and even a handful of community BBQ’s. 

The hosts, who work out of the Camp Pedro Store/ Office are incredibly nice and offer pricing by the night or week. There’s not a ton of amenities to pick and choose from– APART FROM THE NON-STOP LINEUP OF AMUSEMENT PARK options you will find everywhere! But the campground itself features 2-3 community playgrounds, group BBQ’s and the everything-you-need store. And while I looked, there’s no pool to speak of. 

Insider’s Tip? Near this RV parking lot, you do have access to Betsy Jackson Bay if you want to get away and off the beaten path a bit to explore nature… otherwise, head back to Pedro’s, put on your silly hat, load up the car full of tchotchkies and get your fill of this whacky Tex Mex experience! 

Happy Camping!

When we came it had little to no amenities, but I really enjoyed the area and the RV park. This was my first park that had free laundry which was an absolute bonus. Hearing that bonus in the reviews made me a little apprehensive about how busy it would be, but I did laundry 3 times out of the week we stayed and I always had room to do my family’s laundry. Bathroom, showers, laundry was very clean. Internet was flawless coming from a family who works and does school full time online. No buffering at all. Only flaw was the train is extremely close and can be noisy, but after two nights almost didn’t notice it.

This spot is so close to I95 (look for exit 169) that you’ll both feel and hear the swoosh of passing by traffic 24/7. So, while you’ll incur ease and convenience, that will come at a cost (privacy and quietude being what you will sacrifice most).  Located in the NE pocket of the Palmetto State, Florence RV Park, while not a destination per se, could be a nice (and incredibly easy) layover on your trip destination to anywhere else up or down this major east coast highway artery.

Despite the location, this spot has a lot to offer: an intimate little public pool behind the management office, WiFi hotspots, dog park, scattered picnic tables (in pretty good condition), kid’s playground, 20 / 30 / 50 amp hook-ups, dump station, dog walk area, catch & release fishing pond, propane refueling station, vending machines, small pond for fishing, basketball court, volleyball, badminton and horseshoe rings. There’s even 4-5 log cabins for rent at the front of the property (with full access to all the highway noise) and of course, good old fashioned on-site laundry facilities along with a mini-store that has most of the basics covered as well as fairly spartan shower / bathing facilities. 

Insider’s tip? Here's a few: (1) The further east you are on the property, all the better as you’ll be positioned as far away from I95 traffic and noise; (2) If tent camping, I highly recommend spots #A7 – A13 and if you are RV’ing I recommend #L9 – L18 as well as any of the locations on J, K and F11 – F16; (3) There’s a lot to explore near here, from the Grand Strand of South Carolina, of course, Myrtle Beach and even Darlington Raceway, so if you don’t mind the overpopulated location with its westerly view of non-stop traffic, then this could be a good place to stop for the night or from which to launch your exploration of the area; (4) If you’ve looked at this RV campground’s website, don’t be fooled by the pictures – I don’t think any of them were actually taken of the place, save for the pond, and that was a close-up; and (5) If you are looking for a nearby spot to sample the local fare, I recommend checking out The Drive-In Restaurant with its 50s era nostalgia, big juicy burgers, fried everything, homemade onion rings and thick, creamy chocolate shakes.

Happy Camping!

We just stopped for an overnight. Had a pull thru with full hookups. You def can't miss it from the road... it's got a lot of neon and a ton of sites. Would stay again if passing through for sure!

We absolutely love H Cooper Black campground. If you have horses they have campsites with corrals at your back door that you can also rent. Many horse trails for riding as well. They have several ponds that can be reserved if you have retriever dogs to train. They host many retriever tests on the weekend and they are fun to watch. The campground has full hookups and they have made lots of improvements the last few years and most are level and shaded. Two bathhouses close by that are always clean. If you are a horse or dog lover this is a great place to camp!

This RV park is massive and has immediate access to water for your boat, kayak or canoe.  Shortly after entering, you'll only need to continue due straight until you reach the double boat launch (extra points here for Rock Pond providing their own gas pump - and according to the fisherman I spoke with, they don't gauge you on the price of gasoline, which is nice for a change).  Boat launch fee is $5.  Nearby there's a tackle store for all your fishing needs - they also have basic toiletries and sundries in case you forgot something behind.

The park itself has plenty of shelters (but on holiday weekends, like when I was there, they book up fast, so if you're interested, call up early!), easy load-in and all of the amenities you would expect, including 30 / 50 amp hook ups, water and electrical lines.  Theres tons of ancient Oaks dripping in Spanish moss along with area folklore and local spots that have tons of history.  While the campground is open year-round, the store itself is closed between November 1 and March 1.

Let me tell you what I love most about this place.  While I was there with a friend of mine and his young family, the place is perfect for kids - there's lots of places to go fishing, whether you are on a boat and want to venture further out, or don't want to leave land and just cast your line from one of the many points they have at this campground - there's a fishing pier, a dedicated fish pond and even a smaller pond that is just for the kiddos.  How cool is that?  And again, there's the big open Lake Marion itself, which is nothing short of fantastic.  Beyond this, there's a small mini-golf course, a couple little playgrounds and recreation halls.  The staff was friendly - nothing really short of fantastic and the security was top-notch.

A couple insider tips: 1) if you've got a boat and want to get out on the water, do it early before the long line takes you at least an hour of waiting; 2) bring earplugs - it can get somewhat noisy at night; 3) bring plenty of mosquito repellent (you're next to the water in the south, need I say more?); and 4) hit up JB Fishtales just a short jaunt down the way where they're serving up a whole of mischief, some incredibly awesomely bad karaoke (I just couldn't believe no one liked Ricky Martin out in these parts!) with some great whiskies and bourbons - Bonnie, thanks for not kicking me out on that last night!

Only downsides to this campground is that it is primarily for RV's with seemingly endless barren rows full of slanted parking spots.  During the holiday weekend I was there, because there is not a whole lot of cover / shade / trees, noise carries and so it feels a little bit like camping out at Bonnaroo without all the A-list talent playing live. Other than this, you'll find this to be a pretty great place to get out on the water and lie beneath the stars.

Happy Camping!

This was our second time visiting “The Mountain”. We enjoyed Site 1B so much from our last visit we decided to reserve the same site again. There was some trash from previous campers littered around the site when we arrived. Please don’t be a litterbug! This is a terrific boondocking site and one of the few in the Midlands that is accessible for RV camping.

Having difficulty deciding between Lake Marion or Lake Moultrie? Well then, finding a spot here at Hills Landing and RV Park might just allow you to have the best of both world’s as this spot is perfectly situation between the two on a tributary of a slow-moving waterway dubbed Diversion Canal that connects the two. Located about 1.5 hour northwest of Charleston, you will find complete respite from the bustling developed world out here in these parts where there’s plenty of hiking, fishing and boating to be had. Here you’ll find newly graded pull-through spots and a very easy paved boat landing to maneuver around, along with a private dock, full-service restaurant(great breakfast, but the lunch/dinner menu is basically glorified bar food w/ burgers and wings) and a general store where they sell bait& tackle, gas, ice, snacks, sundries and all the other basics you would expect. There’s WiFi throughout the campground along with laundry facilities and a complete bath house that was being built up when I was there. The owners, Tony& Stephanie, are really great‘salt of the earth’ type of folks who definitely want to ensure your stay is amazing. Insider’s Tip? Here’s a few recommendations for enjoying yourself while at this property:(1) I would definitely recommend a drive to Charleston where you can visit some of the oldest and most well-preserved plantations in the entire South(along with the amazing culinary treasures you’ll discover);(2) Folly Beach for a slow-moving beach town(complete with a local, family-owned ice cream parlour) and;(3) Monck’s Corner, which is a nice day-trip to experience the amazing Cypress Gardens. My top recommendation? Stay put where you are at and enjoy the best of what Lakes Moultrie and Marion have to offer, especially the superb fishing, wherein you’ll be sure to catch striped bass, channel catfish and Bream– all of which are most excellently served grilled.

This is a great place for access to Lake Marion. There is a fishing dock and a marina. There is also a separate boat ramp, and close by is a fish cleaning station. This is a good place if fishing and water sports are your goals. As far as other activities, there is a good size swimming pool and a horse shoe pit. The store has almost everything you need, especially for fishing. There is a swing set for youngsters, and large grassy areas to play in, which sets adjacent to the many cottages at this resort. 

The thing I didn’t like about the campground is that it had very few trees. Of course, it has 30 and 50 amp hookups for RVs, but there is very little privacy. There is a sense of community, and the campground is quiet at night. I got the feeling that most of the campers were full-timers and that many of them spend their time on the lake. After all, this is primarily a resort for fisherman. When my wife and I were here, we just wanted to relax and take our kayaks out on the water. I really didn’t seize the opportunity to fish, although if I had been there longer, I definitely would have. Lake Marion is known to have state fishing records, especially with catfish. 

Overall, this campground didn’t stand out as a destination just for camping, but it did if you have a motor boat and want to go on the lake to fish.

To get to this campground, you have to travel a long dirt road to get to it. Along the way, I saw lots of turtles in the swampy areas. First impressions of the campground were not that great, but it was all right… for one night. The sites are close together with hardly any trees except around the perimeter. For an RV camper, there are concrete pads and pull-through sites. There are also full hookups. Since we were there during the middle of the week, I guess it seemed kind of dead, but according to their schedule, they do have a lot of activities going on. There is a boat launch, and plenty of areas for good fishing, which seems to be the main activity. However, there is a trail that leads to a beach, and there are docks for fishing. The recreation shelter has a pool table, and there are chairs for campers to get together and socialize. It seems to be a nice, family oriented campground. The campground is remote, so you don’t hear the sounds of traffic at night, and it is in a swampy area, so you get the usual sounds of nature(which I love). This campground does not have a lot of the amenities that larger campgrounds have, but it has everything you need if you like fishing and solitude.
