Beautiful Lake Camping

1 site · RV2 acres · Great Falls, SC

Lake Wateree, a 13,250-acre lake with unspoiled natural views, was created by the damming of the Wateree River in 1920. It is located about 30 miles northeast of Columbia, just east of I-77. The lake is owned and managed by Duke Power and is surrounded by three counties: Fairfield, Kershaw, and Lancaster. One of South Carolina's oldest man-made lakes, Lake Wateree is known for crappie, bass, catfish, and bream fishing. The 242 miles of shoreline include a bird refuge, the Lake Wateree State Recreation Area and State Park, and Carolina Adventure World for Recreational ATV and dirt bike riding. All these amenities are only a few miles from this site.

Little Congaree Creek Camp

3 sites · Lodging, RVs10 acres · West Columbia, SC

This land was owned by the same family for over 20 years. A ten acre tract so close to the capital of South Carolina made it a property at risk of development. After one walk around the property we KNEW that we had to keep this property all together. Hipcamp has allowed us to share the wonderful property with others. It is a wonderful place for quiet contemplation, enjoying nature, and watching the creek. All less than ten miles from the Columbia, SC.

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 guided horseback ride or 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 special historic Iron Horse miniature train and one mile of track has been purchased to go around the park! A greenhouse is being erected next, that will teach people about aquaponics and hydroponics! We have a rock wall, jumping pillow and many inflatables for the littles to enjoy too! 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!

CEDAR-CROSS CAMP (Lake Marion)

15 sites · RVs8 acres · Russellville, SC

CAMPING AT LAKE MARION (SOUTHSIDE) Only ½ mile away from South Carolina’s largest lake! FISHING Camping at Lake Marion comes with a lot of perks, such as a phenomenal fishing opportunity. Since angling is not just about catching the biggest fish, take the chance to teach your budding fishermen the virtue of patience by the shores of Lake Marion. Some of the fish you’ll likely encounter include striped bass, channel catfish, and black crappie. BOATING Should fishing sound interesting, wait until you hear about the boating opportunities. Lake Marion and the neighboring Lake Moultrie are part of a navigable inland channel leading to Charleston from Columbia. If you’re feeling eager to boat down to Charleston, you’ll get to pass through the Pinopolis Dam and Lock, which at 75-foot in height, is the largest single-step lock in North America. HIKING While camping in a rental motorhome at Lake Marion, fun isn’t only limited to the water. The low country in South Carolina is relatively flat, so hiking through the countryside is fairly easy. The massive Santee National Wildlife Refuge has a healthy wildlife population consisting of alligators, waterfowl, and the Springflyer Dragonfly. It is also one of the largest wetlands supporting migratory birds in Eastern USA. HIKING IN HISTORIC CHARLESTON The great Historic City of Charleston is very close. Hike the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge - one of Charleston’s most iconic landmarks. After trekking the bridge, head over to downtown Charleston for a culinary delight tour of world-renown restaurants known only to Charleston. After eating to your heart’s content, walk and tour the largest historic district in the country. Tour beautiful historic architecture, gardens and mansions - only in Charleston! BEACH FUN Tucked in between two of South Carolina’s largest cities, you’ll be spoilt for choice over the number of attractions found around the lake. Since Charleston is just a short drive away, be sure to drop by for a chance to sample the town’s best beaches - Isle of Palm or Folly Beach. When packing your RV rental, don’t forget to throw in some sunscreen lotion. If Folly Beach is your beach of choice, indulge in a self-guided tour to the edge of the island, which is locally referred to as “The Edge of America." Don’t forget a camera as the Morris Island Lighthouse is insta-worthy. If time allows it, make your way to the end of East Ashley Avenue for some snaps of the striking street graffiti.
