Tucked in a quiet neighborhood along the marsh, this private RV spot offers the perfect mix of stillness and coastal adventure. Whether you're looking to slow down or soak it all in, you’re just minutes from Folly Beach and a short drive into Charleston—making it easy to dip into both saltwater and city life.
Start your morning with coffee overlooking the marsh, launch a kayak right from the backyard, or pack up your beach gear and head out for a day on the sand. Want an effortless beach day? We’ve got chairs, tents, coolers, boogie boards, games, and sand toys ready to go so you can travel light and play hard—just let us know what you’d like and we’ll have it waiting for you.
Back at the site, unwind in your private outdoor lounge area, walk the neighborhood to watch the sun drop over the marsh, or book an evening by the fire pit for an exclusive saltwater lake front night under the stars.
While this isn't a hidden forest getaway, it’s one of the closest RV-accessible spots to the beach—with the bonus of marshfront beauty and some thoughtful extras to elevate your experience.

The Sanctuary at Edisto river is amazing! I originally booked just a few days during Christmas, but I loved it so much that I extended my stay through New Years. Dustin was very welcoming and engaging, while also giving us space to enjoy the property.
My favorite parts were:
- The beautiful outdoor shower with a rain shower head.
- Access to FREE laundry in an inviting and well designed bath house.
- The Gazebo was fabulous! Loved relaxing on the sectional couch while watching TV and enjoying the beautiful view of the river and large patio.
I would 100% go back again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a unique glamping experience.

Spending the night in our small RV at Dustin’s Edisto River RV resort was way beyond our expectations. There are only two sites on the property so privacy and seclusion are excellent. The restrooms facilities are VERY nice and are shared between the two sites. It was very cold during our stay (21 F) so we didn’t get a chance to enjoy the screened in cabana with sofa and tv during our stay but did get to enjoy cozying up to the fire pit in the Adirondack chairs. Can’t say enough good things, will be returning soon for a longer stay and use the kayaks to paddle on the Edisto. Our beagle loved the trail down to the river.

My group of three (and pups) loved camping out at Capt. John’s place! It was such a peaceful location with breathtaking views. It’s the perfect location to take in the Carolina sunrise and sunset. The bathhouse was a great amenity to have. Capt. John was a standup host who was quick to respond to any and all questions. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful place to take in coastal nature. We will certainly be back!

We had a wonderful stay on James’s property. James was a great host. Met us upon arrival and made sure we had what we needed. Since we didn’t need hookups, he let us choose our own spot, which made the experience even better as we were able to camp closer to the water. The land is beautiful, wooded and surrounded by water and a pond on site. It’s a really unique setting: you feel completely tucked away in the woods, yet the moment you leave the property you’re in a neighborhood and only a short drive from downtown and all the essentials. We’d absolutely recommend this spot, especially for anyone who enjoys boondocking!

Loved how close this place was to literally everything! This spot is close to the plantations, 25 minutes to City Market, and 30 to Folly Beach. We camped here over Thanksgiving weekend and had dinner with family in Summerville. Thanks to this spot’s prime location, we were able to turn the weekend into a mini vacation!!
The spot was clean and level. All amenities worked well. The fire pit, chairs, and table are all clean, sturdy, and cozy. Neighbors were all quiet and respectful. We saw ducks, geese, squirrels, and an adorable raccoon.
Of note: This is in a residential neighborhood. It would be tight for someone with a larger RV/there are some low hanging trees depending on the direction you come/go. There is also some road noise/nighttime outdoor lights. These things are obviously to be expected and are not negatives - just mentioning for awareness of future campers.

The campsite was lovely. The quarter-mile dirt road was pretty bumpy, and I wouldn’t want to take it on a rainy weekend, but once we arrived, it was worth it. It was very primitive, yet still enjoyable. We had a great time. We camped by a river. The grand oaks draped in Spanish moss were absolutely beautiful.

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.

The location on Google maps is accurate, but to find the last stretch you have to offroad a bit. RAV4s can get in all day, but I'd be worried about sportier sedans. The 5 sites are pretty much next to each other in a forested area. Has an outhouse (vault toilet) and a porta potty. They also have firewood for sale on site which is nice. Overall pretty bare-bones for a campsite but gets the job done and location is great!
