Weekend Trip to Camp on the Creek

We had a fantastic time here, and Sarah was always ready to help make our stay more pleasant any way she could! It feels like being in a nature preserve!

Weekend Trip to Edisto River Luxury RV Resort

Absolutely by far one of the nicest properties in the area. You will not go wrong by staying here. Great host!

2 nights at Edisto River Luxury RV Resort

Truly among the best sites we've ever been to. Loved it!

Weekend Trip to Hanscombe Point Plantation

Great directions and owner was easy to reach for additional details which was super helpful since we arrived in the evening. Site was clearly marked and was tidy. Only 10 minutes from the Angel Oak which is a must see when visiting the area.

Weekend Trip to Hanscombe Point Plantation

Had the best time at Hanscombe Point Plantation! Will definitely be back!

2 nights at Hanscombe Point Plantation

Absolutely beautiful location. Loved waking up to cows in the field and looking for crabs in the creek

1 night at RV Spot-Full Hook-Up

Nice shady spot close to the rest room. The chickens are friendly and the several roosters did not sound off until nearly 8 am which was a pleasant surprise. Watching the two Guinea fowl chase each other was fun.

1 night at Edisto River Luxury RV Resort

Dustin's two camp sites are beautiful and private. The bath and shower (and laundry!) facilities are so very clean and well appointed. The screened gazebo with TV (for watching NCAA playoffs) were super comfortable and gave us a break from our van while still being protected from a light rain. So worth every cent!

Weekend Trip to Hanscombe Point Plantation

Second visit, brought the whole family and it was a great experience. Quiet, clean, and everything we wanted. Will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Echoes & Ember Chs

I loved everything about this little slice of Heaven! Pam has thought about just about everything, down to shampoo and soap options to keep everything biodegradable and respectful to the land. The outdoor shower was amazing, I’m not a robe person but highly recommend using both the shower and the robe afterwards. It’s so peaceful and relaxing!

Weekend Trip to Edisto River Luxury RV Resort

Every detail about this Hipcamp was perfect! We were in site 1, the moment we pulled into the site we were blown away by the beauty of the location and how peaceful it was. We met Dustin briefly and he was very personable. We hated to leave, and would love to return.

3 nights at Edisto River Luxury RV Resort

What a hidden gem! Dustin has done an amazing job at creating this little oasis for our pleasure! The cobble patio, the screened in sitting area with a small refrigerator, the hot tub with the night lighting. The up lighting of the trees at night is beautiful. The outdoor shower and the availability of laundry! What can I say? This spot is perfect! We will be back next year, I hope and for more than a couple of days!

Weekend Trip to EDENHOPE FARMS

Private spot with access to a bathroom. Very nice.

2 nights at Hanscombe Point Plantation

Great primitive/dry camping spot off the river. Easy to access. Close camping to Charleston.

1 night at Hanscombe Point Plantation

I did not get to stay here. Not the host's fault. I was running late a d felt bad about calling someone at 2 in the morning, so I just slept ay a truck stop. 🤷‍♂️. Hopefully I can try again some other time.

1 night at Edisto River Luxury RV Resort

The campsite and amenities were so private and well kept. Even better than the photos.

Weekend Trip to Hanscombe Point Plantation

Fun spot to camp with the live animals, little hard navigating the spot at night but that’s the beauty of it! loved the stars and sunrise, would definitely return!

Weekend Trip to Edisto River Luxury RV Resort

This was THE perfect spot and we can't wait to return. We pitched a tent- yes, in March, and it worked out well.

1 night at Hanscombe Point Plantation

It was very secluded and tucked away along with amazing views!

1 night at Three Story Hollywood Treehouse

We loved staying at the Treehouse during on our roadtrip! This is so much better than a hotel for anyone traveling with kids--a perfect spot for families to gather, rest, and play! If you're roadtripping on I95, it's the perfect spot for getting rid of those too-long-in-a-car-seat wiggles! Kids will run straight to the climbing wall, the net tunnel, and the slides. We found the treehouse itself to be perfect for our needs. The kitchen was great for movie night popcorn and early morning coffee, and it has everything you'd need for full meals! And sleeping space and bathroom exceeded our needs. We ended our visit with an early morning walk to visit the chickens and admire the amazing garden! This place really is a dream--- everything we'd want to build if we were adding a treehouse to our own place!

Camp on the Creek

3 sites · Tents10 acres · Wadmalaw Island, SC

I found my 10 acres 18 years ago, cleared a road and moved a little camper onto the property. During the next year my home and dock were built. I have 2 tent camping areas for rent with a view of the Leadenwah Creek. There is 1 large fire pit area which is shared if both sites are occupied.
