Weekend Trip to Camping on Pipers Pond

This place is fantastic! The hosts are great and the pups were super friendly and adorable! The place is quiet and so beautiful - you can tell they love the land and keep it well-maintained. Will for sure stay again if/when we are back in the area.

We loved camping here! Pond was lovely and the site was clean, well-equipped, and even prettier than the photos! Thanks to our lovely hosts and their pups for having us!

Weekend Trip to Rosewood Farm and Agripark

Absolutely perfect for a scenic getaway to reset. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Really a great little spot. Kitchen has everything you’ll need as far as equipment (hot plate, air frier, toaster oven, coffee pot). Cannot recommend enough! Will absolutely be back.

Weekend Trip to Beautiful Lake Camping

Loved our stay over the holiday weekend. Nice and quiet area near the state park. The hosts checked in to welcome us and gave us fresh eggs. Chickens, ducks, quail, peacocks and guinea on the property to enjoy and saw deer three times. Nice cove to kayak and paddleboard around the island. Look forward to coming back soon.

The site is beautiful. Stayed for just a night, but would have stayed for longer. Definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Camping on Pipers Pond

What a great spot! My boys loved swimming in the pond and the dogs were so friendly and nice. Had access to running water and the outhouse was clean and well maintained. Wood was available to use as well as a grill and fire pit. Plenty of fish in the pond to catch as you fish on the boat they have on site.Everything we needed to enjoy ourselves. Definitely coming back

Weekend Trip to Camping on Pipers Pond

Super easy to find. Another family was also camping there, but no problem at all, and fun to meet them. Easy in and out, and nice spot to set up tent. Seating and fire ring were nice amenities. The composting toilet was fresh, very clean and just great...love that its "green" and eco-friendly. The welcoming dogs were super sweet and fun to play with. Our first HIPCAMP experience, and it was perfect!

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. It was close to Conagree and on a very pretty farm. It was super peaceful, and we would definitely recommend.

Weekend Trip to Camping on Pipers Pond

The sites were clean and well managed. The pups were awesome and greeted us as soon as we arrived. The area was quiet from outside noise and we were serenaded by the local frogs and toads.

1 night at Camping on Pipers Pond

Amazing views, access to rowboat, puppies are adorable and very sweet!

1 night at Camping on Pipers Pond

This was a beautiful spot to camp! We loved hanging out by the pond in the Adirondack chairs. No one was camping at the other site when we were there but the sites were spread out and private so we would have still have our own space if there had been. In addition to a picnic table, fire pit, and chairs, there was also a hose and a place to charge phones or other devices, which was a nice touch. The hosts were very friendly and so were their dogs!

1 night at Camping on Pipers Pond

A relaxing retreat by a scenic pond. It was perfect for what I was looking for: an easy place to spend the night in peace and quiet.

Weekend Trip to Camping on Pipers Pond

Easy to find campsite. Owners super nice. What a treat to have water and electricty. Peaceful spot overlooking the pond. Enjoyed the firepit with the provided wood...nice perk. A bit of road noise, and you must be diligent to find a level spot for your rv, but overall, highly recommended.

Weekend Trip to Beautiful Lake Camping

The land was absolutely beautiful. The fishing was fantastic. Ann and Jack had tons of wood for a fire everynight. Ann brought us a dozen of fresh eggs from her chickens. It was so peaceful. I highly recommend staying on their property. You will not regret it.

Weekend Trip to Camping on Pipers Pond

This place was fantastic. Well kept, easy to find, and friendly hosts. This was the perfect place for a small group of us to call home base while we paddled in the nearby Congaree National Park. Their dogs were very friendly. The outhouse was well taken care of. Overall great option.

Enjoy paddling around the pond, fishing and watching the ducks and geese during the day and relaxing around the fire pit at night. We offer 2 campsites on the pond on our private property. They are both slightly sloped. Site 1 is on the grassy knoll overlooking the pond. It is sunny early in the day and gets shady as the day progresses. It is closer to the outhouse. Site 2 is under the trees and right beside the pond. It gets spotty sun throughout the day. We live through the woods past the campsites. An outhouse with composting toilet, potable water, picnic table, grill, fire pit, fire wood and trash can are provided. Please note that we do not offer a 30 amp camper hookup, only a 15 amp electrical cord running from our house that will run lights, but not a/c or heat.

All these amenities are only a few miles from this site. There are many eclectic little towns to visit and shop when you are not spending time swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, paddle boating, fishing,or just sitting around the fire or hanging out on your own private dock and island.
