This was our third time staying at Outside Inn. We love this campground so much. We stay on our way to & from Florida every winter from Virginia. We stayed for Christmas this time. It’s one if not our favorite place to stay. It’s always so clean & quiet. Very peaceful & everyone is super nice, welcoming & helpful. The animals are the sweetest & it just has that warm, farm life vibe. We look forward to staying again next winter.

My favorite campground to date. They were super accommodating when I asked to check in early. The camper I stayed in was spot on with the holiday decor, cleanliness and layout. Being able to look out the windows or stand on the deck to say good morning to my favorite little friend, Batman, was phenomenal. I got to help Macy with some feeding and poop scooping! She was great at answering ALL my questions and telling me some of their farm history and stories in such a way that was natural, casual and especially fun. Impressive all around. The combination of an easy-going and inviting atmosphere with professional standards is perfection.

Weekend Trip to Too Many Oaks Plantation

Three of us stayed for two below-freezing but delightful November nights at Too Many Oaks (site 1). Our goal was privacy and being in nature, and this location is definitely that! We were the only campers there at the time, but I think it would have been reasonably private even if the other site was also taken. Mike kindly allowed us to use his bathroom and kitchen, which are rustic but way better than washing dishes outside when it’s 29F! He also had plenty of wood for our camp fire. The sky was super dark even with a bright moon, and the stars were spectacular. The location was about a 40 minute pleasant drive through pines and cotton fields to Congaree National Park. Google Maps tried to navigate us directly to the property off Rt 26. Doesn’t work! Make sure you get the full address - HipCamp didn’t provide it to us. Mike was very fast with responses when we reached out for a last minute booking and then afterward for the address. If we drive from Philly to Florida again, we’ll definitely stay here!

Very welcoming! We needed some place affordable to put up some hammocks for some sleep on a long drive. Offered water, told us to come knock if we needed anything. For our family the price was right to keep us safe. I wish we had time to stay longer. The stars were beautiful. Yes you can hear the road so if that bothers your sleep easily bring some earplugs.

The best campsites in Barnwell State Park, SC guide

Overview

About

Oh, crappie! That’s what you’ll be saying at Barnwell State Park, one of South Carolina’s fav fishing spots. Barnwell’s three small lakes are teeming with bream, bass, catfish and, of course, crappie. For the budding botanist, take a walk down the Dogwood Interpretive Trail and watch the woods become your classroom, full of helpful signs pointing out the dainty, white hollies, looming poplars, and striking wild orchids. The only crowds you’ll find at Barnwell are the enormous families of fish that populate the ponds, making it the perfect locale to stop and smell the...orchids?

Notable campgrounds

Lakeside Campground: Enjoy a serene night's sleep steps away from the tranquil fishing lakes.
Woodland Campsites: Immerse yourself in nature with campsites surrounded by South Carolina's lush forests.

Barnwell is our "goto" park. We love it there. The lakes are fun, and the dam is great to just sit and watch. We watch the wildlife and take lots of pictures. The surrounding towns supply great food and places to see as well. It's close to our church in Olar so it's also very convienent.
