Stumbled upon this grassy field all to ourselves with plenty of room to stretch out and play some catch.

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 Hidden Acres

Loved the campsite. It was secluded, plenty of space and perfect for a relaxing 2 night camp. Jeff, the host, was very welcoming and I had a very enjoyable long conversation with him before leaving. He's a great guy and I will definitely be returning when given the opportunity.

6 nights at Lowcountry Live Oaks.

We had a great time visiting Beaufort. The campsite is in a good central location to lots of attractions and history. It is not a destination campsite, but a great private spot to stretch out with plenty of room. A little tight to get in and out with larger campers. But doable. Host were helpful without being overbearing. We enjoyed and would not hesitate to stay again. Thanks

2 nights at Friendly Fowl Farm

We absolutely loved camping at Belinda's place. It's secluded enough but convenient at the same time. My kids enjoyed seeing all the friendly ducks, chickens, goats and turkeys! We made a fire on the second night and that helped keeping away the biting flies. Next time we visit we will make sure to pack the citronella candle. Thank you Tony and Belinda for your hospitality!

Weekend Trip to Friendly Fowl Farm

Extremely easy to find, easy to use, and easy to enjoy campsite. Great location just minutes from the beach one way and Beaufort the other. Privacy was nice, but you were still right down the road from restaurants and coffee, etc... . It was just what we were looking for. We will be headed back.

Weekend Trip to Friendly Fowl Farm

Such a lovely farm and campsite! It felt safe as a woman camping alone and they had all the necessary amenities!

4 nights at Lowcountry Live Oaks.

We had a great stay. The only problem was when we arrived the breaker panel was tripped on their power source. My husband quickly reset it. Other than that no issues. Large trees around so be cautious of storms and awnings, etc.

4 nights at Friendly Fowl Farm

We had a great stay! Even though we had some storms and rain, we had a lot of fun. We had plenty of space and communication from the hosts was awesome. The fire ban lifted just in time so we could have a little campfire on our last day. Added bonus: the kiddos enjoyed hearing the owls and the animal sounds.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Acres

Great campsite, amazing location, host is very kind and helpful but also gives privacy, would 1000% stay again if I can.

Weekend Trip to Friendly Fowl Farm

Requested an extra night! My recent review below, really enjoyable time with the farm and organic education, with Belinda and Tony. Thanks!

Weekend Trip to EDENHOPE FARMS

Private spot with access to a bathroom. Very nice.

3 nights at Friendly Fowl Farm

Highly recommend this private quiet site at the edge of the farm and many interesting activities offered as I requested info on history and Gullah people here. Enjoyed Belinda and Tony, and their warm welcome. Also loved Belinda's rosemary olive bread! I had shrimp gumbo nearby and saw the beautiful Gullah museum. 5 miles away is Hunting Island State Park with miles of sand beaches, lovely ocean breeze, and 10 miles of trails for hiking and biking. It's hard to pack up my little trailer and to leave. Will return!

3 nights at Friendly Fowl Farm

Very quiet and private I really like this place. I will be back. The chickens and goats were an added bonus.

5 nights at Lowcountry Live Oaks.

We had a wonderful week at Liz & Kasey’s Hipcamp. Quiet but still close to everything. Our pups had the run of the property. Would definitely recommend. We would definetly stay again. Great host!

Weekend Trip to Hidden Acres

Jeff welcomed us and made us feel at home. His place is quiet and easy to get settled and exit. I would stay again.

Weekend Trip to Friendly Fowl Farm

Great spot 15 minutes from Hunting Island and 15 minutes from Walmart or any other store to stock up and camp. Quiet woods and a great restaurant/hangout just 0.5 miles away for a dinner and drink. Owners and locals were so kind.

Weekend Trip to Friendly Fowl Farm

The host were friendly and accommodating. The site was relatively secluded and just as described. I would definitely stay again if in the area.

15 nights at Lowcountry Live Oaks.

The Rv site provided by Liz was exactly as advertised: private with a woodsy vibe, close to Beaufort and not far from the beach. There was even an outdoor roofed pavilion to enjoy. Lovely live oaks and a palmetto.

The farm was once a portion of the McTureus Plantation. Tony's family members were once enslaved on the plantation. Upon Emancipation a family member bought land and it remained in the family. Tony is a descendant of those family members whose foresight allowed us to be here today. Tony's parents entrusted the care and preservation of the property to us and we are doing our best to be good stewards and teach the value of this property to our children and young grandchildren.

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.
