This island off South Carolina is famous for its unspoiled beaches and easy resort living. Under an hour from Savannah, Hilton Head Island is also a golfing destination. The island has over 30 courses, including Harbour Town, home of PGA's RBC Heritage tour. Hilton Head has more hotels than campgrounds, but several RV resorts let campers unwind in style. These upscale campgrounds are big on amenities, from swimming pools to saunas and tennis courts. Extras like Wi-Fi, cable TV, and full hook-ups are usually included. Tent campers have to trudge back to the mainland to sleep under the stars. The nearby town of Bluffton has private campgrounds with tent camping areas. Big rigs can find roomy sites at RV parks in Hardeeville. Of course, you can still day trip to Hilton Head. Coligny is the most popular beach, with swimming, bike rentals, and restaurants within walking distance. For fewer crowds, look to beaches on the north shore. Islanders Beach is especially low-key on account of the resident-only parking. But you can totally bike or walk over. Or you can look for alligators at the island's nature preserves, including the Audubon Newhall Preserve. If you're determined to pitch a tent on an island, Skidaway Island is only an hour away in Georgia. The state park has tent camping amid live oaks, along with cabins and some full hook-up sites. Hunting Island in South Carolina is another good alternative to Hilton Head for camping.

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.

Me , My husband and my dog Sophia had a great stay at Catherine’s place . We arrived late and luckily we keep communicating with Catherine to find her place, she was waiting for us and greeted us, we felt special and at home . The place had plenty of room for our 37 ft fifth wheel and long bed truck . We will definitely recommend this place to anyone that wants to have a safe and comfortable spot .. 5 star ⭐️

5 nights at Friendly Fowl Farm

We spent 6 nights during spring break with our 2 sons (6 and 15) and 4 dogs. It was a fun and interesting place to stay! The campsite itself is large and private, despite its proximity to the main house. It’s separated from the other campsites, and the large live oaks with Spanish moss enhance the feeling of privacy. The site was as described with power and water connections. There is no sewer or garbage, but we paid a nominal fee for trash and to dump our black/gray tanks at the campground on Hunting Island. There was a toilet tent and a solar, gravity shower tent just for our site. The toilet was a porta-potty type, but placed over a pit within the tent. It was clean and worked out fine for our stay. We used the shower in our camper, not the solar shower so I cannot review it. Belinda and Tony were amazing hosts with fast response times and accommodated all our requests. My younger son loved all the free roaming animals. Belinda allowed him to interact with the animals as long as they came to our area of the property. These animals are not “pets” to be petted or picked up, but they are curious. My son would sit until the animals came to him so he could talk to them and he loved it. The fresh eggs were delicious too! The location is great for Hunting Island, Port Royal, and Beaufort. We spent a lot of time on Hunting Island at the beach and the pier. We found shark teeth at Sands Beach and had a wonderful dinner in Beaufort. This was a perfect base camp for our trip!

We had a great time! The host was very kind and helped us out with all the amenities. The campsite is tucked in the woods and is peaceful and private, only a 7 minute drive from the gorgeous beach state park. We loved seeing the farm animals, and the eggs that we bought were delicious. I would highly recommend this hipcamp and we will likely come back :)

What a gorgeous farm! The pigs and fowl were so sweet, and the nanny goat seemed to like us! Emily and I were so so happy and honored to find such a special place! We would love to come back again when we can spend more time and learn about the farm’s history and actually meet you all. Thank you for setting everything up. It was perfect.

Though I wasn’t able to meet Catherine in person, she was always available and very personable. The property is historic, and charming, with the biggest oak trees I’ve ever seen! We were provided with a fire ring, and ample firewood, and had an enjoyable stay. The dogs loved having room to roam, with a little bit of woods to explore.

Weekend Trip to Friendly Fowl Farm

My family stayed two nights at the magnolia site. The site was clean and tent safe, we didn't need a tarp to protect the bottom from small brush or rocks. There was a nice camping toilet that was clean and right on site. Only interacted with host to buy eggs for breakfast but that was our choice, the host was friendly and I'm sure wouldn't mind more interaction if a camper needed it. Love the fact that they are a small farm providing non commercial goods to their community. We felt safe and secure in this site. Remember that this is a working farm and there will be farm noises. Thank you for hosting us.
