Summerville Tents

3 sites · RVs2 acres · Summerville, SC

2 acres located in county but within minutes to all amenities of Summerville, SC. There is a heavily wooded backdrop on the land and a semi busy street fronting the land. The setback is 300’ so you can create privacy. It’s an open flat lot with grassy areas. Perfect for small groups that want to set up activities on the land. I live beside the property in a hoa with a miles of walking and beautiful ponds. Hiking trails within a couple minute drive. Historical downtown Summerville also a couple minute drive.

Creekside Airstream Glamping!

1 site · Lodging1 acre · Charleston, SC

We bought this Airstream in 2022 as an old shell. It was junky and a mess, and not much in it other than old scraps and junk. We renovated it in 2022 and 2023, and turned it into a cozy, midcentury modern style Glamper. We tried to plan for every comfort you could want or need, from wifi and a smart TV, to a cute bathroom, Keurig and an Air Fryer. We hope you love it as much as we do. Please note, it is tight quarters, especially for more than two people and large framed people. For this reason, we only allow two guests. We live on a busy street, but the backyard is peaceful and serene. The airstream is parked next to our creek, where waterfowl abound. Only one vehicle allowed.
