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 Bennetts Point 31

The site was nice and peaceful. The views of the marsh and river during sunset were to die for. The bathhouse was beautiful and well maintained. Can't wait to experience fall and winter camping here as well. Palm Corner is now on my list of favorite spots and I will definitely be returning again. Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Glam Camp At The Old Dairy

My wife and I stayed in the Silver Meteor for two nights and loved it. My concerns going in were the temperature and space, neither of which were any issue. The location of the campsite is very nice. It is a short drive into Savannah, but an even shorter drive to Thunderbolt, which I suggest you check out. When we pulled up to the location it took us a few minutes to find the camper, but it wasn't a hassle. The campsite is very nice. Aside from the camper itself you will have your own hammock and fir pit. There was plenty of firewood on the property which we used to have small fires while we were there. The campsite also shares a small charcoal grill with the other campers, just get your own charcoal. The camper itself is small, but more than enough for two people who don't plan on hanging out inside all day. The bed was good for two people, though I could see it being tight of you are taller than 6'. There's a small sink, and kitchen area plus a table with a bit of storage. The AC unit was amazing, it was about 80 outside (early April) and we could practically freeze in the camper if we ran it at full blast. The campsite shares two bathrooms and a shower with the other sites. This was no problem for us and we were i.pressed with how nice these facilities were. There are horses on the site which we said hello to as well as some good hiking. I would highly recommend this as a clamping option.

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.

Weekend Trip to Glam Camp At The Old Dairy

Our stay was fantastic… wish we could have stayed more than 2 nights. The onsite hiking trails are great and the views are beautiful. Close to all the hotspots yet quiet at night… I highly recommend staying here

Weekend Trip to Glam Camp At The Old Dairy

Great spot! Beautiful location!! Glamping at its finest. Will definitely be returning. Chad is the perfect host.

Weekend Trip to EDENHOPE FARMS

Private spot with access to a bathroom. Very nice.

Weekend Trip to Bennetts Point 31

I really enjoyed my stay here. This is a very unique property with views of the marsh and Ashepoo river. It was very quiet and peaceful, the only sounds I heard were birds and a few airplanes. Bathroom /shower was very nice, Lots of areas close by for fishing/hiking/birdwatching. If you want to venture out, Bear Island Wildlife Management area is a few minutes down the road, and Botany Bay and Edisto Beach are about an hour drive. B&B seafood market, just a miles away, is a great place to pick up fresh shrimp and fish to cook at the campsite. Jonathan was great and I highly recommend his land to anyone looking to stay in the area.

1 night at Glam Camp At The Old Dairy

We loved our stay at the Glam Camp! We arrived at night time, but the instructions were clear and had no problem locating our camper. Quaint spot that shares space with two other campers. Restrooms/shower is a very short walk and the entire place felt safe. Check out is a little early, but they allow you to stay on the property after check out, which we did to explore the grounds. It was nice getting lost in the open marsh and the Bonaventure cemetery was also a short walk away! Great place to stay!

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 Bennetts Point 31

Exceptional camping spot! Epically scenic and open, yet just enough coverage for a wind break. The bathroom is far above and beyond any camping expectations. Friendly and helpful host also.

Weekend Trip to Glam Camp At The Old Dairy

My second stay, this time in The Lark, as the Glam Camp proper was full. Another wonderful time, and I ventured further out along the perimeters of the marsh. This place is pure magic. Thanks to Chad & Angi for sharing it. I'll come back any chance I get.

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.

1 night at Ebenezer Fish Camp

Very secluded and peaceful! Interesting history lesson about the Ebenezer Massacre, from Joe!

Weekend Trip to Camp on the Creek

I needed a very last minute spot, and Frances was so nice and led me to a great spot to park! Just stayed the night so I wasn’t able to check out all that she had to offer, but I would stay again!

3 nights at Bennetts Point 31

The Hipcamp description of Bennetts Point - 31 is spot on and this is a site we will be returning to on our next birding trip to the ACE Basin. We had been looking for a camping area that was near the places we wanted to visit, and this site was perfect. It is only 6 miles to Bear Island WMA, 16 miles to Donnelly WMA, and not too much further from other noted birding spots in the area. On top of that it was a great place to stay when we were not out-and-about. Biting insects could be an issue to dealt with in warmer weather, but we were there when it was cold, at least during the evening. Jonathan, the host, seems to be booking only one person or group at a time, and we had the entire area to ourselves. Although there are few homes along the dirt road to the site, the area itself is private and exceptionally quiet. The camp site sits along the edge of a large marsh with great views of the sunset. Much of the area immediately behind the camp site is being cleared but there is a wooded area and pond on the property. It was great to discover that there are some cleared paths through the woods with access to the pond edge and we enjoyed walks around the area while at camp. On top of that we greatly appreciated having access on site to a really nice bathhouse with a shower, flush toilet, sink, and hot water. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and will likely be returning next year.

Weekend Trip to Glam Camp At The Old Dairy

My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. Beautiful property and very experienced hosts that have gone above and beyond in this slice of paradise. Spotless Camper and bathrooms, and the outdoor shower was to die for. We have already booked another trip and have recommended this site to friends and family. Hosts are very responsive with any questions.

1 night at Camp on the Creek

The land was absolutely gorgeous! Frances was so welcoming, as well as Stella the lab. A perfect camping experience all around.

Great view, quiet location, attentive & responsive host. Really enjoyed my stay!

Camp on the Creek

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.
