Weekend Trip to Private Oasis In The Forest

Really pretty and quiet! We had a really good time even though it was the hottest it’s been this year so far. It was over 90° the whole time we were there so it was HOT but we still had an awesome time! Definitely recommend having a thermacell and bug spray as you ARE in the woods. There were a ton of flies but having chargeable fans definitely helped deter them away from us! We cooked over the fires had tons of laughs and such an awesome time! The road in is bumpy but we didn’t have any trouble getting in or out! The ground is full of quartz which is so pretty to look at but if you’re sleeping on the ground I would recommend a thick sleeping pad or cots! We had cots so it didn’t bother us at all!

Weekend Trip to Prices Bridge Inn & Campgrounds

Jesse was welcoming, the nights were quiet and filled with deer. The site was well maintained, considering the tall grass surrounding the site there were no ticks, the lake was visible and just a short walk through the woods. Good combo of openness and sunshine with woods and shade.

1 night at Private Oasis In The Forest

Awesome little spot to fish and just hangout for a quick getaway.

Weekend Trip to Eagles Landing

Great campsite, water view, kayaks, firewood available, excellent host. We look forward to our next visit.

4 nights at Eagles Landing

We had a very relaxing weekend, despite some rain. The property is very quiet, dock access was great, Scott even caught a few fish! And we were treated to some Fireworks by the neighbors. Kevin was a great host, the welcome gift was appreciated! Overall had a great weekend camping.

Nice spot for a tent. Power to the right. 25ft cord should be good. The fire ring/grill is not in the picture but is between the post and 8.

Weekend Trip to Big Creek RV Park of Saluda SC

The property was very well maintained with beautiful craftsmanship on the custom built bathroom and shower facilities. Nice and quiet at night without any kind of noise other than the soothing sound of owls and other nightlife and rustling leaves in the wind.

Loved our stay over the holiday weekend. Nice and quiet area near the state park. The hosts checked in to welcome us and gave us fresh eggs. Chickens, ducks, quail, peacocks and guinea on the property to enjoy and saw deer three times. Nice cove to kayak and paddleboard around the island. Look forward to coming back soon.

Weekend Trip to Eagles Landing

We had a wonderful experience at Eagles Landing which is appropriately named. There were three flying over the lake the entire weekend. It is serene and stunning all at the same time. Kevin was the most wonderful host who hand delivered a very generous and thoughtful gift basket. He had kayaks, life vest, fishing poles and firewood available. The wildlife there amazing. The lake was pure heaven! It is on our list of places to visit regularly. You will not regret booking this fabulous hip camp! P.S. We are now hooked on kayaking! Life is good in your sixties!

James was an attentive host and his responses were very quick. The campsite is awesome, clean, and in a very safe location. We enjoyed our camping trip here and will be back again for sure!

10 nights at Big Creek RV Park of Saluda SC

We camped for 10 nights. Very quiet other than the birds singing. We enjoyed visiting with our children and grandchildren who all live in the area. Our host, James, was very nice and accommodating. Our campsite was a mix of sun and shade. The kids had a great time kayaking and fishing in Big Creek which borders part of the property. It was like camping in the middle of the woods, but close to the little town of Saluda. Thank you James. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

4 nights at Beautiful Lake Camping

Most amazing and peaceful place. Wonderful people. Definitely coming back!.. this is my new get away place. Absolutely love it.

4 nights at Eagles Landing

We booked this site as a last minute Spring break get away and so glad we found this gem! Kevin was so nice and accommodating and the weather completely showed out in the best way. We were able to enjoy the water all five days we stayed 🫶🏻 Will definitely be coming back in the near future.

Weekend Trip to Prices Bridge Inn & Campgrounds

We arrived late and only stayed for one night while passing through the area but it was great, a peaceful night with easy checkin and friendly hosts. Would love to come back when we can stay longer and explore the land and lake!

Quite undisturbed forest for 1/2 a century, used for duck hunting in the previous owners family for decades. I’ve started building a small cabin that’s unfinished hopefully completing in the coming years. Fishing pond and small seasonal creek flows after lots of rain. Excited to share it with others!

Prices Bridge Inn & Campgrounds

7 sites · Lodging, Tents20 acres · Leesville, SC

We have an absolutely gorgeous 12 acres of mostly wooded and/or lakefront land on the West end of Lake Murray (Saluda River). Me, my wife, and three kids live and work on a 20 acre forest nestled in the backwaters of Lake Murray. Behind Prices Bridge, we have what nature lovers refer to "OH MY GAWD"... Our land forms a peninsula, which is very private, secluded, and SAFE. If you want to refresh, recharge or spend quality time with family or friends, we'd love to host you. *Prices Bridge being a low bridge also means if you bring a large boat you may need to use the marina or any of the free boat launches within a mile of our site... kayaks, canoes, john boats all fit under. :-)
