Private Riverfront Retreat on the Scenic Waccamaw Escape to your own private getaway on the beautiful Waccamaw River in Conway, South Carolina. Tucked beside the peaceful Shaftesbury Glen Golf & Fish Club—but well outside the golf community—this 2.2-acre property offers unmatched privacy and tranquility. Enjoy exclusive access to over 350 feet of serene riverfront, shaded by towering hardwoods and pines. This quiet retreat feels a world away from the hustle and bustle, yet it’s ideally located for exploring the area. Historic downtown Conway, with its charming shops, restaurants, and scenic Riverwalk, is just 10 miles away via Hwy 905. If you're craving sand and surf, the north end of Myrtle Beach is only 15.5 miles away via Hwy 22, with quick connections to Hwy 31 for easy travel to North Myrtle Beach, Surfside, Garden City, Murrells Inlet, and the rest of the Grand Strand. Whether you're looking to relax in nature, paddle along the river, or explore the nearby coastal towns, this peaceful haven offers the perfect basecamp. *We now have a commercial portable toilet for your convenience. The toilet is serviced and cleaned weekly by the contractor* ***For your information*** There are two security cameras on site, one watches the entrance to the property (for obvious reasons), and the other is pointed at the river in the center of the property (this is because I need to know the height of the river at times, especially this time of year with hurricane season). Neither of these cameras look towards the interior of the property, or towards the "beach/kayak launch" where you can walk to the water. I have included photos in the listing where you can see screen shots of what these cameras' fixed viewpoints are. Rest assured, your privacy is not compromised.*** FOR TRASH DISPOSAL, there is an Horry County Recycling Center convieniently located 6 miles from the campsite, on Hwy 905. Here's the address: 7554 Highway 905, Conway 29526. Here's their days/hours of operation from the Horry County website: Hours: Monday, Wednesday - Saturday, 7AM - 7PM, Sunday, 1PM - 7PM-CLOSED Tuesday

This is a beautiful and private spot overlooking the Waccamaw River. I extended my stay here twice because we enjoyed it so much. Plenty of dry wood for a campfire and having a porta potty on site was nice too. Definitely recommend!

This was the first tent trip for my sons. Andrew’s directions were clear and helpful. The view was spectacular and site was well maintained. He was in contact the whole time. There were several places to choose from, for tent location, and all were flat. We highly recommend this land!

Andrew was very responsive and helpful with answering all of our questions. Place was a riverfront and really well organized with tables, fire pit, swing and most importantly toilet. Camping area was clean of all of the debris and stuff. We had great time overall. Few things I would like to share with fellow campers and I don't think it should affect our 5 star rating. The spot was quite dusty for us. We could see dust particles in air all the time and our cars and stuff were covered with dust after few hours. Our fault we did not take advantage of the river front. But it would have been really nice if we brought our fishing grear of had kayaks. You could splash kayaks there. But the downside of the river was fishermen and we even had folks came at night with bright light probably doing night fishing which made our stay not as private as we hoped to. Traffic in general was not that bad. We wish Andrew the best of luck with his business.

Scott was great! The farm was easy to find and the tent area was cozy. It was a beautiful spot right on the river with multiple options for making a fire (fire ring and old fireplace). Scott came to check on me as I was packing up after my stay to make sure everything went well.

We really enjoyed our stay at Riverfront campsite. We didn't take the opportunity to go swimming as some branches were down by the entrance of what we believed was the swimming area and we did see what we believed was a water snake when fishing the riverbank edge. Our only complaint would be a "wood pile" it looked like old fencing and though we didn't find any unwanted friends it would have been a great location for them. We was fortunate enough to also hear the owl near our site. Our daughter had a blast chasing some chickens that wandered too close and we saw many beautiful young deer in the late evenings and early mornings.

My husband and I have stayed at many Hipcamp places and air b n b’s and this was by far, our favorite!! The spot is very private, river front, big yard with a grill and smoker, tables, lounge chairs! Fully fenced and very secure! If you want to bring a pet it’s great! ! A deck that is right off the river! The view from the bedroom is the river! The cat fishing was amazing! They were bitting! You can fish off the deck!! The view of the river is beautiful! The rv is huge, nicely decorated, and sleeps a lot! It’s super nice! It has two cute lofts for kids!! It was stocked with all the amenities!! Monee the host was the best host! She answers right away, gives detailed instructions! She is super sweet! It was also thirty mins from Pawley’s island beach!! Beautiful beach! Myrtle beach and Charleston are about an hour away! So much to do at this location!! We plan to stay here longer, very soon!!

I loved tent camping on Andrew’s land! It was the first of many mom and sons camping trips. I was nervous, due to the weather being rainy, but the trees were in perfect locations for extra cover. The swing was a beautiful addition. Having numerous picnic tables was very useful,and the fire pit was huge!!

We stayed at little bear and had a fantastic time! The bed was very comfortable and the tent had everything you could need to cook, eat, and even had an AC unit! Very helpful in the July heat. We paddled around on the pond and enjoyed making s'mores on the campfire. Krystl met with us and allowed us to pet and feed the horses which were beautiful. Overall an amazing glamping experience. Would definitely recommend!

We loved the horse trailer mini-house. It was perfect for our weekend in the area. Careful with the hot water. It is very hot and tricky to get the hot/cold mix just right.
