1 night at Camp at The Farm - Outside Inn

Really well maintain camp area with the added bonus of the farm! The bath house was spotless. I booked the lamb cuddle and bottle feed time and it was the highlight of my week! Clair’s baked goods are really good too.

4 nights at Big Creek RV Park of Saluda SC

We absolutely loved our stay. The park is in immaculate shape. As tent campers, It was wonderful having access to the shower house and bathroom. We would definitely stay here again if we’re in the area.

4 nights at Prices Bridge Inn & Campgrounds

The A-frame was perfect! Enough space to be able to relax in. Every morning, afternoon and evening, my dog and I would sit on the dock gazing out at the lake with Herons, Osprey, Geese, Ducks and Cormorants all flying past. With the boat ramp right there, we would easily cast off on our SUP for the lake. Jesse, his wife and kids were wonderful and so nice. Their place and land offered so much to do. My dog got to feel like a country dog, interacting with the chickens, running through the woods and snoozing by the fire pit. This trip was exactly what I needed and desired. I loved every minute at Jesse's place.

Weekend Trip to Prices Bridge Inn & Campgrounds

Great site, short walk to the lake edge where we put in our kayaks. Wood pallet was generous and set up was nice. We saw a bald eagle minutes after making a toast to those fighting overseas (can’t make this stuff up)! Found a 1965 nickel on the ground, wonder what other hidden historic secrets are in this area. Awesome campsite!

Superbe site bien entretenu Le host a plein de belle « histoires » sur la région 😉 Je recommande pour la grosse paix

4 nights at Big Creek RV Park of Saluda SC

James was very accommodating around my plans to arrive changing multiple times due to distance, crazy weather and other delays. The camp sites are very well kept up, very tidy. James delivered hardwood to my site while I was away and included some pine for starting the fire. I look forward to checking out Big Creek RV Park when I’m in the Greenville SC area again. 5 stars!

Weekend Trip to Camp at The Farm - Outside Inn

What a sweet place to visit! Already planning our next trip there. Lovely, family-friendly spot. Great trails to meander on their property. So fun to see the animals and experience farm life in a laid back, well-run campground. Your only regret will be having to leave.

Weekend Trip to Rosewood Farm and Agripark

The cabin was cozy and peaceful, by a nice little pond. Could use a bit more kitchen equipment like pots and pans, but otherwise sufficiently equipped. The heater worked great to keep us warm on cold evenings. My son loved seeing the beautiful horses and animals, and playing with the very friendly farm dogs who kept us company. George and their daughter were friendly and nice to chat to. Thank you for a fun stay on your beautiful farm!

6 nights at Eden in Lancaster, SC

This spot totally blew us away. Seriously, the vibes were immaculate. And those fresh eggs? Don't even get me started. So good, like sunshine on a plate. We're already planning our next visit. This place is a hidden gem, for sure. Can't wait to go back and soak it all in again. It's the kind of place that just makes you happy.

1 night at Camp at The Farm - Outside Inn

Incredible place! My second time and I plan to come again. You want to stay here. Bath house is clean and a nice added bonus!

Weekend Trip to Prices Bridge Inn & Campgrounds

Jesse was outstanding, He was really nice and communicative, sadly we had to leave early because of the weather, was really windy and colder that we expected for that day, ( check the weather really carfuly before planning your trip, totally my fault) even so, he offered to pay a full refund. Campsite Overlooking Lake at Prices Bridge Inn & Campgrounds is a beutifull place with a lot of things to do an collect good memories with your love ones.

3 nights at Big Creek RV Park of Saluda SC

We loved our stay. What a great, relaxing place. James has put so much time and effort into detail with the property. He also made sure we had everything we needed.

Weekend Trip to Prices Bridge Inn & Campgrounds

What a great stay! We were arriving right at sunset, so Jesse sent a video on exactly where to find the campsite. The area was quiet and peaceful, and we were able to find plenty of firewood. In the morning, we were able to get some fresh well water and meet the dogs! Definitely recommend.

1 night at Camp at The Farm - Outside Inn

Exceeded expectations! Really appreciated the super nice and clean bathrooms & showers, plus laundry room (which we didn’t use). The animals were all curious and friendly. Even tho all spots were full, it was very quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Rosewood Farm and Agripark

Incredibly peaceful! Set in a hollow with a small pond next to it available to kayak (provided) & fish. Horses set up on the hillside. Plenty of other animals to enjoy as well. Hosts are perfectly welcoming & there if/when you need them. It offers the opportunity to unplug from the world and enjoy simple living with a touch of all the amenities you may need without the digital distractions...Splendidly perfect!

Weekend Trip to Utopia Farm Camping

This property was ideal for our family gathering! The kids all had a blast, and Ray and Cindy were such excellent hosts. There are horses, goats, donkeys, chickens/roosters, and a nice little trail around the property. Having the barn with full bathroom and full kitchen made life a lot easier. We also enjoyed spending time in the heated/cooled living area. Would definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Utopia Farm Camping

This place will exceed your expectations. Really nice folks own/run the place. Beautiful land with friendly animals no complaints at all. The barn and common areas are just a huge cherry on top from what I was really expecting when I set out to go camping.

Weekend Trip to Camp at The Farm - Outside Inn

We loved staying at Outside Inn & already can’t wait to come stay again. We stayed on our way to & from Florida. The campground was very clean & quiet. We loved meeting all the animals - Fred the highland cow is our favorite! He’s awesome. The fresh eggs in the morning were delicious & just such a nice treat. Clair is a lovely host & made sure we had what we needed. The bathrooms & shower house was spotless. The directions to the campground are very clear. This is the kind of place you almost don’t want to tell anyone about because you want to keep for yourself. Wonderful place. Can’t wait to come back.

Weekend Trip to Camp at The Farm - Outside Inn

Clair was wonderful at informing us about the animals, the animals were fantastic to interact with and the overall experience leaves us ready to come back soon!

Prices Bridge Inn & Campgrounds

7 sites · Lodging, Tents20 acres · Leesville, SC

We have an absolutely gorgeous 12 acres of mostly wooded and/or lakefront land on the West end of Lake Murray (Saluda River). Me, my wife, and three kids live and work on a 20 acre forest nestled in the backwaters of Lake Murray. Behind Prices Bridge, we have what nature lovers refer to "OH MY GAWD"... 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. :-)
