3 nights at Camp on the Creek

Fran has a wonderful gorgeous spot, Stella her lab is a wonderful hostess also. I am a female solo camper and Fran was so nice to block off the other camp site so I’d feel alone and secure and have some time to myself. I spent a few days on her dock watching dolphins and fish jump. So much beautiful nature in abundance. The stars on the lake are magical and I found more mushrooms than I had seen in so long. Very beautiful place I would definitely recommend and plan to totally come back.

3 nights at Edisto River Luxury RV Resort

This spot was perfect in every way! We had a great time and will definitely be back!

1 night at Camp on the Creek

Great place to stay with 2 dogs. Loved the views and outdoor shower. Wish we could have stayed longer!

2 nights at Hanscombe Point Plantation

This place is incredible. If you are a comfortable primitive camper and you love natural beauty, book here immediately. In the two days I spent camping here, I spent hours watching the sun rise over the tidal creeks and the golden marsh grass. I watched hundreds of crabs feeding in the pluff mud before the tide came in. I watched cattle graze on a great open pasture. I’ve camped in some pretty breathtaking places and this was up there with the best. The campground feels remote but Charleston and other barrier islands d destinations are very accessible. Check in couldn’t be easier, firewood was abundant, and I was left alone for two days. I’d come back here in a heartbeat. In fact, I think I will.

1 night at Hanscombe Point Plantation

Easy in and out. Was quiet and a pretty morning. Got in late after coming earlier in day to secure a site near the water. Not a place with immense creature comforts, but affordable and easy to work with. Also 30 min from beach… 25 from downtown.

1 night at Hanscombe Point Plantation

Great, secluded spot. Good clean outhouse. It is primitive, so no running water, which is definitely not a problem ifyou come prepared. The road to the sites is fine, but you will be better suited in an SUV than a sedan/coup. We went while it was raining, and I don't think I would have made it in my Honda. Luckily, we didn't have it!!! Anyway, beautiful spot. The birds are awesome in the morning. Good communication from the host.

Weekend Trip to Edisto River Luxury RV Resort

The location was beautiful with the river right next to it. Everything was thought of, even the hot tub, to make a fun experience. Thank you!

Weekend Trip to Hanscombe Point Plantation

Amazing space to set up a romantic glamping weekend; Arrived and got to pick our campsite, chose a nice one right on the water. loved our stay in every way. 10/10 recommend most especially for the price

3 nights at Bennetts Point 31

We had the place to ourselves so it was very quiet with an amazing view of the salt marsh. We’re expecting the bathroom to be so amazing…spotless with shower, hot water, flush toilet, sink…. What a nice surprise! The whole place is well taken care of. Although an hour from the credit one stadium, we will definitely be coming back here for the next concert!

3 nights at Lowcountry Live Oaks.

Our site was very nice gravel, level and easy to access. We had electric, water and Wi-Fi (didn’t use). I was camping after all !!!! Liz responded quickly to any questions and offered some helpful local information. She has acres and told us we could walk our dog anywhere. She is in a great location. It was a short easy drive to Beaufort as well as the various sea islands. The area is beautiful with tons of history. We are already talking about our return trip. Thank you so much, Liz!

Weekend Trip to Hanscombe Point Plantation

We enjoyed the landscape, our children liked biking around. We felt safe and secluded and close to attractions

3 nights at Lowcountry Live Oaks.

It was an absolutely excellent experience and a wonderful weekend getaway. You’re about 2 miles from downtown and walk around tourism and 12 to 14 miles from toes in the sand on the beach. Best all around, quiet, isolated, and convenient. One house and a heavy tree line separate you from 98% of any possible road noise. There is 50 and 30 amp plus 110 hook ups on the pole along with water, sewer, and Wi-Fi on the site. The tree cover was very good without completely blocking any sunshine. We experienced 92° and our single air conditioner had no problems keeping up with a 30 foot camper.

Weekend Trip to Edisto River Luxury RV Resort

What a beautiful spot. So quiet, peaceful, private. The facilities truly are luxurious, the bathroom and shower areas are spotless. Dustin is an amazing host, replied quickly when I had a couple of questions. We would have stayed longer but the weather was just too hot for camping in our rooftop tent. We did enjoy the screened gazebo with a ceiling fan in the evening, perfect for a hot summer night!

2 nights at Hanscombe Point Plantation

Great site in a beautiful place close to Charleston and Folly beach. Plenty to do within just minutes as well. There was some broken glass scattered around the site and the sites were a little close together for my personal liking but it was great! Loved everything about our weekend

2 nights at Bennetts Point 31

It was what I hoped for, quiet, isolated and beautiful marsh views…. Johnathan answered any asks, promptly. My son my self and nephew were all cool with the choice… absolutely recommend.

2 nights at Hanscombe Point Plantation

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. It was close to Charleston and on a very pretty farm. Other than some very noisy neighbors at 5 am, our stay was perfect. Would definitely recommend.

1 night at Hanscombe Point Plantation

We spent a pleasant night here in May! Great place to set up an overland tent, and we loved waking up to the cows having breakfast nearby.

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. My sweet lab, Stella, lives outside mostly, so she will be around and loves to visit the campers.
