In the cradle of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Flat Rock's Historic Village was once a popular getaway for people from Charleston seeking relief from the heat. Often referred to as "The Little Charleston of the Mountains," the entire district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Tent and RV campers can visit the Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site to explore the poet's home and 270 acres of hiking trails and rolling hills, then look out for Flat Rock campsites offering full hookups, dog-friendly areas, and even wifi. Further afield, Flat Rock camping opens up opportunities to visit Ride Rock Creek Mountain Bike Park—an elite, 300-acre mountain biking park with a shuttle service to the summit. But whatever you do, don't miss the Dupont State Recreational Forest, which was the setting for movies like The Hunger Games and The Last of the Mohicans, and offers a network of trails leading to picturesque waterfalls and mountain lakes.
