We are located on 11 acres. Wooded areas, hiking trails on-site. Perfect place to watch for deer and other animals including our 8 on-leash dogs! It is a train lover's dream because we are close to the tracks and enjoy watching the train come and go so much so that the conductor toots and waves to us!! The Santee State Park has many water activities, picnic areas, and hiking trails. There are several golf courses nearby, and a local restaurant/bar within walking distance which often offers trivia, karaoke, pool tables, and live music. Just be careful as you will be walking on the side of a main road as well as over train tracks.

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.

Lynn's place was very nice. There are no designated spaces, just pick your own spot. I was the only one there and rolled up under a group of trees in the front corner of the yard. The place is remote enough that there is virtually no road traffic or noise from nearby roads. It is very quiet. Lynn has 3 dogs that are friendly and will visit with you unless you ask her to keep them in. I travel with 3 dogs of my own and Lynn's place was a great spot with lots of room to play fetch and enjoy the space. I would definitely stay there again.

Even though we pulled in after the sun had set, we easily found space to pull our 5th wheel in and set up for night. The land was flat and plenty of it! We met the sweet dogs and the owner was so kind to let Erica meet and pet the horses with their foals. Definitely will be back!

This was exactly what we expected - a quiet piece of land to park for the night. Nothing fancy, but it worked well as a quick stopover. Peaceful and no surprises. Debra was great at communicating and her nephew was helpful at pointing us where to park. I would stay here again

Super one-night spot just off I-95 in South Carolina. As soon as I pulled onto the property, Josh (Debra’s nephew) came out and welcomed me warmly. We walked a few of the sites available, and he encouraged me to take a particular spot based on my rig (a new spot he just made). The stay was fantastic! AT&T, 1-2 bars, and I was able to launch a hotspot on AT&T, streaming YouTube videos. The camp site is not far from some train tracks. I came in Friday afternoon around 4:15PM, and I left the next morning by 7:30AM. The train only came through during my stay one time, at 6PM. It was actually really cool!! You can walk up to the train tracks. According to Josh, there are some trails that can be walked too but I did not take advantage of them. Great stop …. Great for a good nights rest.
