Weekend Trip to Echoes & Ember Chs

The Dome is beautiful and unique! Just slightly off the road (but completely quiet) and into the woods next to a small creek is the location to a secret getaway. Something you can’t find anywhere else. My husband and I stayed on a 90° weekend but the dome was able to keep cool with its ac unit. Everything was super clean and organized. The bed was extra comfortable and firm! This dome and its environment allowed my husband and I to pause and take a moment for ourselves.

Weekend Trip to Tumble Down Shack

Had a wonderful time. We really enjoyed how unique everything on the property was. Great to see how much love has been put into it. Tons of firewood available the property. Thanks Richie!

3 nights at Edisto Island Vacation Rental RV

We had a great time staying in this camper. Very conveniently located to the stores and beach access points. Ron is very respectful of your privacy as well! Would definitely stay again.

5 nights at Edisto Island Vacation Rental RV

Everything was great. Ronald was helpful. It was nice not having to pulled our camper down to Edisto.

3 nights at Laurel Oaks Estate

Laurel Oaks Estates was a great place to camp. We loved the space at the big bear 🐻 campsite. The host was fantastic with helping us with our needs/questions.

Weekend Trip to Woodland Gardens

Small camper perfect for a couple nights near Congaree NP. Friendly dog and cat on property, and our host was very kind and inviting! Unique & artsy atmosphere, very peaceful & secluded. Shower was pretty tiny, good for necessary cleaning but nothing past that. Would definitely stay again!

3 nights at Pap's Glamp&Cabin on Lake Hartwell

My friends and I had the BEST time at Paps glamp!! Starting with his concern for the weather prior to our arrival, offering to change our dates if needed. We decided to go through and hope that the rain showers would be short, and we are SO glad we did. Upon arrival we were met with a welcoming introduction and he even offered to help us unpack! During our 3 night stay we enjoyed the kayaks, swimming, fishing, and cooking on the charcoal grill and the fire! However I think we can all agree the outdoor shower was the BEST! The tent has so much room to play games when it was raining. The fridge was big enough to hold all our food, the coffee station was perfect, and the beds were comfy! I have no complaints and we would LOVE to come back!! Everything is so beautiful and well thought out, highly recommend staying at Paps!!

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 Field Trip Glamping Travelers Rest

While we didn’t get to stay in the dome due to a booking challenge, the host placed us in a super cute A-frame. The grounds were clean and inviting. The over the fire pit rack was perfect for some wood grilled burgers!! The hot tub/sauna/cold plunge was spectacular. There was always a wave to be had by the staff as they drove by. Future glamours should know that the in unit “coffee maker” is a French press, which in a unit with electricity, was a little disappointing, since the trek to get boiling water was at a coffee vending station. Otherwise, it served the purpose well for a beautiful outdoor getaway.

Weekend Trip to Laurel Oaks Estate

We loved staying in the Little Bear! The amenities this space has to offer are endless - lovely outdoor shower with provided towels, covered porch, fire pit and chairs, very clean portapotty, farm fresh eggs (that were delicious!), a grill and all the kitchen wear needed to cook, a mini fridge, flashlights if you’ve forgotten yours, extra blankets, a space heater/cooling unit, indoor and outdoor games, and usb ports connected to the bed for electronics charging. Each site is spaced out enough that you only see people when they are driving to/from their site. It feels very secluded and private. The nature is beautiful; with the pond, trails, and all of the animal sounds! The estate is close enough to the beach that we were able to spend the day at Litchfield Beach and stop at Broadway on the Beach on the way back. We loved it and hope to bring our friends to Laurel Oak’s Estate for a group trip soon!

3 nights at Laurel Oaks Estate

Had such a great time at Little Bear! It was my first time glamping and I honestly loved it. The spot is super peaceful with beautiful views and a lake nearby. My partner and I went for morning jogs and even spotted some animals from the nearby farm. The tent had everything we needed, and the bed and linens were super cozy. We grabbed eggs and firewood from them too, which made for an awesome breakfast and some s’mores by the fire. It’s really close to Myrtle Beach, so you get that quiet nature vibe but still near all the fun. Hosts were super friendly and easy to communicate with. Definitely recommend Little Bear <3

Amazing!!! What a beautiful oasis. Felt relaxed the minute we arrived. We are on a 30 day vacation and this is definitely one of our highlights!! Pam has incredible detail on all of her amenities. Incredible. Anywhere near this take time to go and enjoy. Host is incredibly communicative.

Weekend Trip to Edisto Island Vacation Rental RV

This was our 2nd stay with Ron. It's a great choice for us. We can bring our 2 labs...who love the beach...and it's just a 5 minute drive to the state park beach. Ron provides a parking pass that saves us $16 a day. The camper is clean and supplies all bedding and kitchen items plus bath towels and toiletries...just bring your toothbrush and settle in. We'll be back!

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 Three Story Hollywood Treehouse

Liked how the kitchen, ned room and bathroom were all separated. This made using the restroom more comfortable. There was free wifi. There were real cool things for the kids to do. Rock wall, zip line, netting and tons of games. There was also laundry facilities. The couch pull out was really comfortable. It was pretty and the cats were cute. They also had a nice fireplace set up.

3 nights at Three Story Hollywood Treehouse

The tree house is fantastic! It’s cute and very functional, with a well equipped kitchen and spacious bedroom. The hosts are welcoming, everything was very clean and inviting, and on our last day I had to pull my kiddo off the zip line so we could make it to the Serpentarium. Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Laurel Oaks Estate

We loved our weekend getaway in the Little Bear. This was exactly what we needed to get away for the weekend. It was very private even with other sites nearby. The hosts thought of everything that you would need to camp, cook, and have fun. It was very well done and we would definitely stay here again!!

Quite undisturbed forest for 1/2 a century, used for duck hunting in the previous owners family for decades.

Our land forms a peninsula, which is very private, secluded, and SAFE. If you want to refresh, recharge or spend quality time with family or friends, we'd love to host you. *Prices Bridge being a low bridge also means if you bring a large boat you may need to use the marina or any of the free boat launches within a mile of our site... kayaks, canoes, john boats all fit under. :-)

Rosewood Farm and Agripark

100 sites · Lodging200 acres · Winnsboro, SC

Rosewood Farm and Agripark is my home. I honestly had about the most amazing childhood one could have on this very land! We hunted, fished, made mud pies and played outside for hours, as long as we were in shouting distance for supper time! I am so fortunate to be the daughter of two amazing parents, who had a dream to build a working farm from nothing more than a logging trail in the woods. They built a 3 story, 10,000 square foot house by themselves- while raising a family! We have 200 acres of farmland that features rolling hills, multiple ponds, creeks, farm animals, show horses and countless wildlife viewing opportunities. Wild turkey and deer roam free all over the farm, coveys of dove fly out from the pastures and trails, and coyotes howl in the night. Listen to the frogs croaking, crickets chirping and whipporwhills calling every evening under a magical blanket of stars. Take a nature hike through the trails that meander through the woods around the park. Our newest venture is to offer primitive camping and some cabin rentals around our 60 acre Agripark! For those wanting to step it up a notch, we have erected a large concrete floor, covered event barn (for parties, family reunions, weddings, cowboy church, etc..,) and also a huge petting zoo barn with an area behind it for pony rides and 4-h/FFA functions. Also, a greenhouse is being erected next, that will teach people about aquaponics and hydroponics! Many things are on the immediate horizon for this special property. While we are under heavy construction at the moment in some areas of the park, many amenities are currently available. Why not unplug from the daily grind and spend time with those that matter most? My goal is to make this land as magical for your family as it has been for mine!
