Creekside Airstream Glamping!

1 site ¡ Lodging1 acre ¡ Charleston, SC
We bought this Airstream in 2022 as an old shell. It was junky and a mess, and not much in it other than old scraps and junk. We renovated it in 2022 and 2023, and turned it into a cozy, midcentury modern style Glamper. We tried to plan for every comfort you could want or need, from wifi and a smart TV, to a cute bathroom, Keurig and an Air Fryer. We hope you love it as much as we do. Please note, it is tight quarters, especially for more than two people and large framed people. For this reason, we only allow two guests. We live on a busy street, but the backyard is peaceful and serene. The airstream is parked next to our creek, where waterfowl abound. Only one vehicle allowed.

Friendly Fowl Farm

The farm was once a portion of the McTureus Plantation.  Tony's family members were once enslaved on the plantation. Upon Emancipation a family member bought land and it remained in the family.  Tony is a descendant of those family members whose foresight allowed us to be here today.  Tony's parents entrusted the care and preservation of the property to us and we are doing our best to be good stewards and teach the value of this property to our children and young grandchildren.

Camping near Folly Beach guide

Overview

When you visit Folly Beach, it's clear why Charleston residents call it the "Edge of America." The South Carolina beach town has it all—the Atlantic shoreline on one side, a maze of coastal waterways on the other. It goes without saying that kayak, and canoe rentals are notoriously easy to find. Camping near the beach means savoring one of the top surfing spots on the East Coast. When you're not catching waves, cast a line from the fishing pier. In the afternoon, comb the beach for shellfish, or bust out your binoculars to watch migrating whales. Just inland of Folly Beach, James Island County Park is a popular home base for campers. Campsites with full hookups are just steps from 16 acres of freshwater fishing lakes. You also find a crabbing dock and miles of paved hiking and biking trails. Nearby Folly Beach County Park is a no-camping zone. Still, locals love the sandy stretch for beach lounging and Pelican watching. South of Folly Beach, you find more coastal tent camping options. Check out Edisto Beach State Park on Edisto Island to breathe in the salty sea air from your campsite. Sleep on the shores of an Atlantic beach, or pitch your tent at the foot of a salt marsh teeming with wildlife. Looking for a place to park your big rig? There's a host of RV parks in Folly Beach and nearby Mount Pleasant. With so many marshes, rivers, and bays, camping near the water has never been easier.
