1 night at Camp on the Creek

This place is amazing ! Frances and Stella are so friendly and welcoming, you can feel all the love here and I felt super safe. ❤️

Weekend Trip to Summerville RV Site

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Summerville Tents. Steve was a gracious host and communication was easy. We were able to hook up to power and WiFi which was an extra bonus. Unfortunately the weather was stormy while there so we did not get to enjoy the birdwatching and relax outside as much as we’d hoped to but we still were able to catch sight of an eagle and some bluebirds. We will definitely be back again. Thanks for a wonderful experience Steve.

1 night at Friendly Fowl Farm

Belinda and Tony were very kind and the site fit our needs perfectly.

Weekend Trip to Edisto Island Vacation Rental RV

This was our 2nd stay with Ron. It's a great choice for us. We can bring our 2 labs...who love the beach...and it's just a 5 minute drive to the state park beach. Ron provides a parking pass that saves us $16 a day. The camper is clean and supplies all bedding and kitchen items plus bath towels and toiletries...just bring your toothbrush and settle in. We'll be back!

1 night at Friendly Fowl Farm

If you like farm animals, you'll love this place. A nice, quiet place. The owners were very kind to us. I would recommend it.

Ron was a great host. He made sure we had plenty of fire wood every day and provided a large spot to walk our two dogs. The location was super close to everything Edisto had to offer. Ron's lot was super private and surrounded by the state park. Edisto was a super cute town with a very clean beach & no crowds. The restaurants around were all great too. We had a great time!

Weekend Trip to Friendly Fowl Farm

Great site, second time coming and it’s close to Hunting Island. Fit a large tent and 3 trucks with plenty room to hang around the fire.

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!

1 night at Friendly Fowl Farm

Great place to stay! The animals really were friendly, the ducks and chickens came right up to our trailer! We had a little trouble following the directions given to find our campsite in the dark, but the host came out and helped us.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Acres

Loved the campsite. It was secluded, plenty of space and perfect for a relaxing 2 night camp. Jeff, the host, was very welcoming and I had a very enjoyable long conversation with him before leaving. He's a great guy and I will definitely be returning when given the opportunity.

2 nights at Friendly Fowl Farm

We absolutely loved camping at Belinda's place. It's secluded enough but convenient at the same time. My kids enjoyed seeing all the friendly ducks, chickens, goats and turkeys! We made a fire on the second night and that helped keeping away the biting flies. Next time we visit we will make sure to pack the citronella candle. Thank you Tony and Belinda for your hospitality!

Weekend Trip to Friendly Fowl Farm

Extremely easy to find, easy to use, and easy to enjoy campsite. Great location just minutes from the beach one way and Beaufort the other. Privacy was nice, but you were still right down the road from restaurants and coffee, etc... . It was just what we were looking for. We will be headed back.

Weekend Trip to Friendly Fowl Farm

Such a lovely farm and campsite! It felt safe as a woman camping alone and they had all the necessary amenities!

4 nights at Friendly Fowl Farm

We had a great stay! Even though we had some storms and rain, we had a lot of fun. We had plenty of space and communication from the hosts was awesome. The fire ban lifted just in time so we could have a little campfire on our last day. Added bonus: the kiddos enjoyed hearing the owls and the animal sounds.

4 nights at Summerville RV Site

Steve’s land is very convenient to everywhere I needed to go. It is not out in the country. There is traffic noise, but what I needed was proximity to Charleston and certain stores, and a central location to base myself. Steve had trouble connecting me to the advertised internet, but came through and comped me an extra night gratis. When I’m in the Charleston area again, and I plan to return soon, I hope this spot will be available.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Acres

Great campsite, amazing location, host is very kind and helpful but also gives privacy, would 1000% stay again if I can.

Weekend Trip to Friendly Fowl Farm

Requested an extra night! My recent review below, really enjoyable time with the farm and organic education, with Belinda and Tony. Thanks!

Weekend Trip to EDENHOPE FARMS

Private spot with access to a bathroom. Very nice.

3 nights at Friendly Fowl Farm

Highly recommend this private quiet site at the edge of the farm and many interesting activities offered as I requested info on history and Gullah people here. Enjoyed Belinda and Tony, and their warm welcome. Also loved Belinda's rosemary olive bread! I had shrimp gumbo nearby and saw the beautiful Gullah museum. 5 miles away is Hunting Island State Park with miles of sand beaches, lovely ocean breeze, and 10 miles of trails for hiking and biking. It's hard to pack up my little trailer and to leave. Will return!

3 nights at Friendly Fowl Farm

Very quiet and private I really like this place. I will be back. The chickens and goats were an added bonus.

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.

Camp on the Creek

3 sites · Tents10 acres · Wadmalaw Island, SC

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. My sweet lab, Stella, lives outside mostly, so she will be around and loves to visit the campers.

Edisto Island Vacation Rental RV

Edisto Island Vacation Rental RV is a fully hooked up new model RV with all the conveniences of home. Located in a beautiful shaded natural forest. Your site backs up to the Edisto Beach State Park where there are miles of amazing hiking and biking trails running through the maritime forest, and while on the trails you can visit the State Park's Environmental Learning Center to take part in their incredible interactive exhibits and learn about the natural history of the island and it's sea life. You will definitely want to spend time exploring or just relaxing on the beautiful beaches teaming with seashells. If you have a boat, feel free to bring it with you when you come, we are very close to the Live Oak Landing boat ramp where I took the picture of the sunset. As the day winds down to an end you can relax by a campfire or just head inside and kick back and watch a movie from the library of dvd's that are available. The bed is a queen and the dining table area can turn into a full bed. I look forward to having you here to make Edisto Island your next playground.
