1 night at Summerville RV Site

Great stay! Peaceful property and easy access to Charleston. I’ll definitely be returning.

3 nights at Camp on the Creek

Fran has a wonderful gorgeous spot, Stella her lab is a wonderful hostess also. I am a female solo camper and Fran was so nice to block off the other camp site so I’d feel alone and secure and have some time to myself. I spent a few days on her dock watching dolphins and fish jump. So much beautiful nature in abundance. The stars on the lake are magical and I found more mushrooms than I had seen in so long. Very beautiful place I would definitely recommend and plan to totally come back.

2 nights at Tiny House on Goat Farm

The tiny experience was fantastic! Everything was immaculate and comfortable. A short drive into Charleston and to the beaches without all the hassle. Farm fresh eggs in the fridge. This one is a real treasure.

2 nights at Hanscombe Point Plantation

I took my daughter and her friend tent camping at Hanscombe Point and it was abeautiful place. It did storm while we were there, but it made fir a memorable time. The girls really enjoyed visiting with the donkeys that showed up to our site the next morning. Both of them were the sweetest animals.

Weekend Trip to Black Pearl Farms

Super friendly and welcoming hosts! Our original site was flooded but Mike set us up at another spot still close to the river. Clean bathroom, awesome blueberry picking and we loved the lavender-infused honey, fresh eggs and firewood Mike brought us. Great stay. I would definitely recommend!

2 nights at Hanscombe Point Plantation

Very quiet place to camp. All instructions were easy to follow. I will definitely camp there again.

2 nights at Camp at The Farm - Outside Inn

Extremely friendly and went out of their way to make us comfortable beyond our requests/expectations!!! Can’t say enough!

1 night at Camp on the Creek

Great place to stay with 2 dogs. Loved the views and outdoor shower. Wish we could have stayed longer!

2 nights at Hanscombe Point Plantation

This place is incredible. If you are a comfortable primitive camper and you love natural beauty, book here immediately. In the two days I spent camping here, I spent hours watching the sun rise over the tidal creeks and the golden marsh grass. I watched hundreds of crabs feeding in the pluff mud before the tide came in. I watched cattle graze on a great open pasture. I’ve camped in some pretty breathtaking places and this was up there with the best. The campground feels remote but Charleston and other barrier islands d destinations are very accessible. Check in couldn’t be easier, firewood was abundant, and I was left alone for two days. I’d come back here in a heartbeat. In fact, I think I will.

1 night at Hanscombe Point Plantation

Easy in and out. Was quiet and a pretty morning. Got in late after coming earlier in day to secure a site near the water. Not a place with immense creature comforts, but affordable and easy to work with. Also 30 min from beach… 25 from downtown.

1 night at Hanscombe Point Plantation

Great, secluded spot. Good clean outhouse. It is primitive, so no running water, which is definitely not a problem ifyou come prepared. The road to the sites is fine, but you will be better suited in an SUV than a sedan/coup. We went while it was raining, and I don't think I would have made it in my Honda. Luckily, we didn't have it!!! Anyway, beautiful spot. The birds are awesome in the morning. Good communication from the host.

Weekend Trip to Hanscombe Point Plantation

Simple but Beautiful camp site, it was just perfect for weekend getaway. Owner Linda was very helpful with the text and we had a great time. I would like to come back sometime soon!!

Weekend Trip to Black Pearl Farms

The hosts are great, kind and helpful. We stayed at site 4. Lovely family, great location. Mosquitos had been a bit annoying due to a flooding couple of days ago. We still would recommend it! Lovely farm, great blueberries We will be back

Weekend Trip to Hanscombe Point Plantation

Amazing space to set up a romantic glamping weekend; Arrived and got to pick our campsite, chose a nice one right on the water. loved our stay in every way. 10/10 recommend most especially for the price

1 night at Summerville RV Site

Very convenient and spacious, planning to stay there again.

Weekend Trip to Hanscombe Point Plantation

We enjoyed the landscape, our children liked biking around. We felt safe and secluded and close to attractions

Weekend Trip to Black Pearl Farms

Mark was an amazing host along with Tim. We couldn't be in our original tent site due to the storms flooding us out, but they were very easily able to place elsewhere. He was an excellent host making sure we were stock with supplies and giving us a daily check in. Plus the extra additives we had such as the farm tour and upick were amazing. Most definitely be back to try again in the future

2 nights at Hanscombe Point Plantation

Great site in a beautiful place close to Charleston and Folly beach. Plenty to do within just minutes as well. There was some broken glass scattered around the site and the sites were a little close together for my personal liking but it was great! Loved everything about our weekend

2 nights at Hanscombe Point Plantation

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. It was close to Charleston and on a very pretty farm. Other than some very noisy neighbors at 5 am, our stay was perfect. Would definitely recommend.

1 night at Hanscombe Point Plantation

We spent a pleasant night here in May! Great place to set up an overland tent, and we loved waking up to the cows having breakfast nearby.

Camp on the Creek

3 sites · Tents10 acres · Wadmalaw Island, SC

I found my 10 acres 18 years ago, cleared a road and moved a little camper onto the property. During the next year my home and dock were built. I have 2 tent camping areas for rent with a view of the Leadenwah Creek. There is 1 large fire pit area which is shared if both sites are occupied. My sweet lab, Stella, lives outside mostly, so she will be around and loves to visit the campers.
