Too Many Oaks Plantation sits on 21 acres in the sand hills of Calhoun county just outside Columbia S C.

Our present project is building a luxury bathhouse ( still being framed now ) right now guests have access to the Bathroom & Kitchen of the old farm house ( built in 1903 )

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. :-)

I was very happy to stay here. These are spacious sites with a patio table and chairs in site 1. The property has a cozy old farm house that has a kitchen and common area to hang out. There is fire wood and fire ring if you like a fire and plenty of tree coverage and woods. The Host was at the property and made me feel welcomed and we chatted for a bit about his plans to keep improving the sites and adding some cabins as well. I highly recommend this place.

Too Many Oaks was a really awesome place. It felt secluded, yet was close to a highway and Columbia. The trees were magnificent. Site 1 was really comfy with lights strung in the big oak, a tree swing, axe throwing station, water, light power, picnic area, and fire pit. There was plenty of room to turn around and a level spot to put my camper. I enjoyed the farmhouse with its uneven plank floors, and old-world charm. Michael was fun to chat with loves his place more than I did! I would come back in a heartbeat.

I'm an experienced camper (hammock) and this was a wonderful first experience with Hip Camp! I found two appropriate trees back behind the clearing to hang my hammock and tarp. The farmhouse is the best part. It was stocked more thoughtfully than any Airbnb or VRBO I have rented!
I just needed a simple quick hang relatively close to i26 so I could sleep on my way from FL to NC. This was far above that. In fact Michael has set the bar high for my expectations of future Hip Camp sites. I plan on returning again!

Our first Hip Camp experience and it was good. We were in site 2 which gave us plenty of space. It was open enough to allow use of our solar panels to top off our camper's battery during the day. Although we have a small off road camper which is self sufficient, having use of the old house for the kitchen sink and the bathroom was nice. As in the listing, nothing fancy, but it got the job done. My wife was grateful for the coffee station which is a nice touch. Overall, a good place and value for the money. It was a good base for exploration/visitation of Congaree National Park.

Lots of fun!! Very pretty spot. Nice and shady. Fishing poles and tackle are NOT included so bring your own. One thing I would like to make people aware of is that the bathhouse is on the other side of the property so prepare for a walk when you plan on using it. But it was a beautiful place and I would absolutely come again. (Maybe in the fall 😉)

We tried the glamping site our first time at Sweetwater Lake Campground. We were very pleased with the amenities they provided. It was so quiet and peaceful although the park was what looked like full capacity with rv's, we felt like we were all alone in the woods camping. Truly a beautiful spot we will book again.

Looks can be deceiving so don’t fall for it. Mike’s property was a great stay. When you pull in, it can look a little off putting with the cabin in the woods he has for you to use as a kitchen and bathroom, it honestly looks a little scary from a movie, but what a hospitable place. Our site was huge, we had firewood at our site, running water, electricity, and a great spot for our tent and hammock. We met a few other people during our stay so that was a pleasant surprise. Mike’s communication was spot on and always prompt. If we head that way again, we would stay again!
