Weekend Trip to Big Creek RV Park of Saluda SC

Love the quiet wilderness. Large sites. Clean restroom and shower. Tent campers would love it here.

Weekend Trip to Kaleidoscope Farm

Stephanie H. was quick to respond and very helpful in helping us find the campsite in the dark. We stayed one night and enjoyed having the property to ourselves. The campsite was clean, rustic, and private.

Weekend Trip to Big Creek RV Park of Saluda SC

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.

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!

This campground is kept in absolutely beautiful condition. It was the perfect peaceful retreat! Thank you for a perfect stay!

1 night at Prices Bridge Inn & Campgrounds

My experience in Jesse’s land was great. He was very friendly and accommodating when I first arrived. It was nice and private with a personal fire pit, though I didn’t use it.

7 nights at Big Creek RV Park of Saluda SC

4 nights at Big Creek RV Park of Saluda SC

We absolutely loved our stay. The park is in immaculate shape. As tent campers, It was wonderful having access to the shower house and bathroom. We would definitely stay here again if we’re in the area.

1 night at Private Oasis In The Forest

We loved it! Amazing spot for our dog to roam, lovely but short trail around the lake, a little row boat we didn't use but would have been a fun little adventure - we set our tent up inside because the windows are wide open so just to keep bugs off us though we didn't notice many the night we were there - great experience especially for the price! We were tenting and it was calling for a thunderstorm and we couldn't have asked for a better spot to watch watch the rain come down and listen to it on the tin roof!

4 nights at Prices Bridge Inn & Campgrounds

The A-frame was perfect! Enough space to be able to relax in. Every morning, afternoon and evening, my dog and I would sit on the dock gazing out at the lake with Herons, Osprey, Geese, Ducks and Cormorants all flying past. With the boat ramp right there, we would easily cast off on our SUP for the lake. Jesse, his wife and kids were wonderful and so nice. Their place and land offered so much to do. My dog got to feel like a country dog, interacting with the chickens, running through the woods and snoozing by the fire pit. This trip was exactly what I needed and desired. I loved every minute at Jesse's place.

Weekend Trip to Prices Bridge Inn & Campgrounds

Great site, short walk to the lake edge where we put in our kayaks. Wood pallet was generous and set up was nice. We saw a bald eagle minutes after making a toast to those fighting overseas (can’t make this stuff up)! Found a 1965 nickel on the ground, wonder what other hidden historic secrets are in this area. Awesome campsite!

5 nights at Big Creek RV Park of Saluda SC

Superbe site bien entretenu Le host a plein de belle « histoires » sur la région 😉 Je recommande pour la grosse paix

4 nights at Big Creek RV Park of Saluda SC

James was very accommodating around my plans to arrive changing multiple times due to distance, crazy weather and other delays. The camp sites are very well kept up, very tidy. James delivered hardwood to my site while I was away and included some pine for starting the fire. I look forward to checking out Big Creek RV Park when I’m in the Greenville SC area again. 5 stars!

1 night at Kaleidoscope Farm

I loved everything about the campsite, nice and secluded but not too far from a gas station if you forget something. Stephanie is very kind and helped us out find the campsite with no problem. Definitely will be back and recommend stopping here. The graveyard is really cool also!

Weekend Trip to Kaleidoscope Farm

We camped here with our two dogs, we were able to let them free roam no issues, they loved it! We had a great spot, and had enough distance from the other campers, we didn’t even notice anyone else had been there till we decided to walk the property! Plenty of space for a big family or just a couple like us! Stephanie was super accommodating and allowed us an early check in and was extremely friendly and welcoming, she truly makes the environment a warm welcome, and feels like home away from home! We drove 12 hours to camp here and we would do it again in a heartbeat!

Weekend Trip to Rosewood Farm and Agripark

The cabin was cozy and peaceful, by a nice little pond. Could use a bit more kitchen equipment like pots and pans, but otherwise sufficiently equipped. The heater worked great to keep us warm on cold evenings. My son loved seeing the beautiful horses and animals, and playing with the very friendly farm dogs who kept us company. George and their daughter were friendly and nice to chat to. Thank you for a fun stay on your beautiful farm!

6 nights at Eden in Lancaster, SC

This spot totally blew us away. Seriously, the vibes were immaculate. And those fresh eggs? Don't even get me started. So good, like sunshine on a plate. We're already planning our next visit. This place is a hidden gem, for sure. Can't wait to go back and soak it all in again. It's the kind of place that just makes you happy.

Private Oasis In The Forest

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. :-)
