Black’s Fish Camp is a true treasure. James has thought of everything. The bathroom was clean and homey. There are picnic tables under the shelter with bistro lights along the river as well as a grill for cooking and water for cleanup. Fire pit at the river. James was very responsive with our questions. Quiet and peaceful.

With several RV sites, and more to come, a Yurt and soon to be 3 insulated geodesic dome cabins, you'll think you're in a high end camping resort at Black Pearl Farms. While really you're in the middle of a working berry farm.
I stayed for a week in the winter so I didn't get to experience the farm in working order. But I can imagine looking out my window at rows and rows of blueberries and lavender. And just a mile or so down the country road is the upper Edisto River, ripe for kayaking and exploring.
I can't say enough about the hosts here. They welcomed me on the road coming in, they checked on me during my stay. And they're building the place on their own. I appreciate hard work especially when it creates a place that's going to be a gem to visit, not that it isn't already!
So, if your heading north or south, or even east or west, look for Black Pearl Farms in South Carolina. You'll be glad you did.

We're Charleston locals and wanted to do something fun and spontaneous and be out in nature.
We took our SUV out there, spent the evening grilling steaks over the fire, enjoying the hot tub, and watched a movie in the gazebo before sleeping in the back of our SUV.
This place has everything:
- firewood on site to purchase
- water and electrical hook ups
- high speed internet
- Smart TV under a bug-screened gazebo, so you can eat and chill while watching a movie
- fully furnished bathroom with a washer/dryer if you need to run laundry or just dry off your towels after the hot tub
- outdoor shower with hot water
It was a really cool date night and gave us a chance to get away from work and the city for a quiet night by the fire

Truly a hidden gem. My daughter and I had a daddy/daughter weekend while mom was away for work. It was the most relaxing trip, very peaceful with the exception of some people doing what I assume was target practice for awhile. The site was excellent. We spent most of the time in the gazebo watching movies. The hot tub is different than pictured and is an inflatable one. Make sure it's on and running when you get there. Very nice bathroom and OUTDOOR shower. I already have another trip planned in a a few months. Dustin was excellent with communication and always responded very quickly.
