1 night at Friendly Fowl Farm

Belinda and Tony were very kind and the site fit our needs perfectly.

4 nights at Edisto Island Vacation Rental RV

Ron was a great host. He made sure we had plenty of fire wood every day and provided a large spot to walk our two dogs. The location was super close to everything Edisto had to offer. Ron's lot was super private and surrounded by the state park. Edisto was a super cute town with a very clean beach & no crowds. The restaurants around were all great too. We had a great time!

Weekend Trip to Lowcountry Live Oaks.

Lovely secluded spot with nice shade! Located close to good shopping for supplies. Also close to great restaurants and downtown.

Weekend Trip to Friendly Fowl Farm

Great site, second time coming and it’s close to Hunting Island. Fit a large tent and 3 trucks with plenty room to hang around the fire.

3 nights at Lowcountry Live Oaks.

Short trip for us, but great enjoyed the location and access to lots of activities around Beaufort. Site was clean and connections were easy.

2 nights at Magnolia Hill

I loved this spot and would recommend to anyone looking for a primitive, star gazing oasis outside of Savannah. Lorine’s quick responses and help were greatly appreciated! 😊 hope to come back again

1 night at Friendly Fowl Farm

Great place to stay! The animals really were friendly, the ducks and chickens came right up to our trailer! We had a little trouble following the directions given to find our campsite in the dark, but the host came out and helped us.

Weekend Trip to Lowcountry Live Oaks.

We had a great stay here. Peaceful and quiet but close to attractions such as the beach, downtown Beaufort and Parris Island to name a few. Level granite stone pad with 30/50 amp hookups. Water pressure was good and sewer is also available. Our 28 foot travel trailer with opposing slides fit fine with plenty of room to spare.

6 nights at Lowcountry Live Oaks.

We had a great time visiting Beaufort. The campsite is in a good central location to lots of attractions and history. It is not a destination campsite, but a great private spot to stretch out with plenty of room. A little tight to get in and out with larger campers. But doable. Host were helpful without being overbearing. We enjoyed and would not hesitate to stay again. Thanks

2 nights at Friendly Fowl Farm

We absolutely loved camping at Belinda's place. It's secluded enough but convenient at the same time. My kids enjoyed seeing all the friendly ducks, chickens, goats and turkeys! We made a fire on the second night and that helped keeping away the biting flies. Next time we visit we will make sure to pack the citronella candle. Thank you Tony and Belinda for your hospitality!

Weekend Trip to Friendly Fowl Farm

Extremely easy to find, easy to use, and easy to enjoy campsite. Great location just minutes from the beach one way and Beaufort the other. Privacy was nice, but you were still right down the road from restaurants and coffee, etc... . It was just what we were looking for. We will be headed back.

Weekend Trip to Friendly Fowl Farm

Such a lovely farm and campsite! It felt safe as a woman camping alone and they had all the necessary amenities!

4 nights at Lowcountry Live Oaks.

We had a great stay. The only problem was when we arrived the breaker panel was tripped on their power source. My husband quickly reset it. Other than that no issues. Large trees around so be cautious of storms and awnings, etc.

4 nights at Friendly Fowl Farm

We had a great stay! Even though we had some storms and rain, we had a lot of fun. We had plenty of space and communication from the hosts was awesome. The fire ban lifted just in time so we could have a little campfire on our last day. Added bonus: the kiddos enjoyed hearing the owls and the animal sounds.

Weekend Trip to Magnolia Hill

We had a lovely time camping at Lorie’s place! It was a short stay, but the land is beautiful, quiet, and full of wildlife. Lorie is an excellent host and made sure we had everything we needed and more. Can’t wait to stay here again!

Weekend Trip to Friendly Fowl Farm

Requested an extra night! My recent review below, really enjoyable time with the farm and organic education, with Belinda and Tony. Thanks!

Weekend Trip to EDENHOPE FARMS

Private spot with access to a bathroom. Very nice.

3 nights at Friendly Fowl Farm

Highly recommend this private quiet site at the edge of the farm and many interesting activities offered as I requested info on history and Gullah people here. Enjoyed Belinda and Tony, and their warm welcome. Also loved Belinda's rosemary olive bread! I had shrimp gumbo nearby and saw the beautiful Gullah museum. 5 miles away is Hunting Island State Park with miles of sand beaches, lovely ocean breeze, and 10 miles of trails for hiking and biking. It's hard to pack up my little trailer and to leave. Will return!

3 nights at Friendly Fowl Farm

Very quiet and private I really like this place. I will be back. The chickens and goats were an added bonus.

5 nights at Lowcountry Live Oaks.

We had a wonderful week at Liz & Kasey’s Hipcamp. Quiet but still close to everything. Our pups had the run of the property. Would definitely recommend. We would definetly stay again. Great host!

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.
