Bishop Jerden Conference Center is a lovely spot to enjoy a quintessential, water-centric, low country camping experience.
During our stay at Bishop Center, my husband and I pitched our tent on site #4—a lovely plot with a great view of the water and marshland scenery. The camping plot was clean and easily accessed from the road. During our weekend stay, other campers were respectfully enjoying the peaceful offering of this property with their families and loved ones. Bishop center’s wholesome atmosphere was complimented by its natural attributes which included a tranquil lake, well-maintained hiking/walking trails, and acres of wooded surroundings. This Hipcamp had something for everyone; a volleyball set-up and playground were seen put to good use by junior campers. Kayaks and other waterborne craft were, likewise, enjoyed by seasoned, recreational enthusiasts.
One of the aspects my husband and I appreciated most about this property was its ideal proximity to Mt. Pleasant and Charleston. This makes this Hipcamp a wonderful respite for locals to escape the city, or an ideal base-camp for travelers visiting the area. It’s certainly far enough away from any development to enjoy nature, but not so far out as to feel too isolated or inconvenient. We enjoyed our time here, and would unflinchingly recommend it as a place to enjoy a relaxing weekend.
