Although I prefer private spots and not RV parks, this spot was pretty nice! An RV park but not ahuge one with 8 jillion people everywhere, this was limited, pretty spacious and well laid out. The farm area was fantastic and very kid friendly with all different kinds of animals. Well set off of the road but easily accessable. Easy hookups, adequate garbage disposal, easy to navigate in and out. The back roads are bike friendly if you plan on riding. All in all a nice place to take the family or in my case just relax.

We had a great weekend get away. Obvious to us - many stay longer to enjoy the amenities of this location. The farm animals are a delight. We had our 3 GRANDchildren with us - all under 3 years of age. The goats, bunnies, chickens, fresh eggs, donkey, cows, pigs and water fowl were a delight to feed and touch some. The staff were great about sharing their knowledge. We have all agreed to return.

Bring your boots because farms can be muddy! The animals on the farm are well cared for, more like pets and family. It is South Carolina swamp area so be prepared. Plenty of area for fun for the kiddos. The guide was very well constructed. The trails were great, I just wish there was about 7 miles of them. If you forget milk and such, Dollar General or Food Lion is just down the road. The cleanliness was perfect for me (the microbiologist)! The accommodations were a little tight. All in all I would highly recommend this site to others!

We had a wonderful stay at Laurel Oaks Estates and would absolutely return. The setting is beautiful and very nature-focused, which was exactly what we were looking for. The hosts were incredibly kind and accommodating throughout our stay, which made the experience even better.
We stayed in RV site #1, which faces the horse pasture, and it was such a peaceful view to wake up to each day. The entire property is very quiet, and you’re surrounded by the sounds of nature — lots of birds and even the calls of peacocks. From the estate and a nearby farm, you can also hear roosters and cows, which really gives it that classic Southern Lowcountry feel.
One of the things we loved most was how secluded the property feels while still being close enough to conveniences for grocery shopping and other needs. It’s a great balance of peaceful retreat and accessibility.
The RV site itself is excellent — a flat, level concrete pad with full hookups. There are two RV spots, and both are set up nicely with picnic tables, fire pits, and Adirondack chairs, which makes it easy to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
We especially enjoyed walking our dogs along the wooded trails and exploring the other glamping options on the property. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into each camping setup.
Overall, this is a really special spot if you enjoy nature, quiet surroundings, and thoughtful accommodations.

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.

2 nights at Camp at The Farm - Outside Inn
My favorite campground to date. They were super accommodating when I asked to check in early. The camper I stayed in was spot on with the holiday decor, cleanliness and layout. Being able to look out the windows or stand on the deck to say good morning to my favorite little friend, Batman, was phenomenal. I got to help Macy with some feeding and poop scooping! She was great at answering ALL my questions and telling me some of their farm history and stories in such a way that was natural, casual and especially fun. Impressive all around. The combination of an easy-going and inviting atmosphere with professional standards is perfection.

Where to go
Pee Dee and the Grand Strand
The Pee Dee River runs all the way from the Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina to Georgetown on the Atlantic Coast. This northeastern slice of South Carolina is best known for its Grand Strand beaches, whether camping at the hugely popular Myrtle Beach resorts, bird-watching at Huntington Beach State Park, or teeing off at one of the many coastal golf courses.
Lowcountry
Hemmed in by the Savannah River and the Atlantic Coast, the southwestern lowlands are an idyllic stretch of marshlands, barrier islands, and coastal towns. Hunting Island State Park is the state’s most visited park, and a paradise for bird-watchers and campers, while RV parks dot the beaches of Hilton Head Island. The palmetto-fringed beaches of Edisto Beach State Park are a favorite for summer campers, and James Island County Park, just outside Charleston, is a crabbing hotspot.
Midlands
The state capital Columbia dominates the rolling hills of South Carolina’s Midlands, and the region’s highlights all lie within easy reach. Family campgrounds dot the shores of nearby Lake Murray, Sesquicentennial State Park has a woodland campsite and boating lake, and part of the 500-mile Palmetto Trail passes through Poinsett State Park. Nearby, Congaree National Park has hiking and kayaking trails, two campgrounds, and backcountry camping.
Upcountry
The Blue Ridge Mountains tumble down over the border from North Carolina, and South Carolina’s mountainous north is a natural playground of forested valleys, lakes, and waterfalls. Greenville is the starting point for exploring the north, from where you can hike the 3,533-foot summit of Sassafras Mountain, the state’s highest peak; camp amid the mountains in Table Rock State Park; or explore the multi-use trails at Paris Mountain State Park. For backcountry camping, it doesn’t get much better than the Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area, which links the Jones Gap and Caesars Head state parks.
