Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Blacks Fish Camp

This is a very unusual place, a bit mysterious. I highly recommend spending a few nights here to experience the magical atmosphere. It is well equipped for camping. There is a shower and a toilet. Everything is very clean. Thank you to the host who prepared everything so well.

2 nights at Edisto River Luxury RV Resort

Truly among the best sites we've ever been to. Loved it!

4 nights at Lowcountry Live Oaks.

We had a great stay. The only problem was when we arrived the breaker panel was tripped on their power source. My husband quickly reset it. Other than that no issues. Large trees around so be cautious of storms and awnings, etc.

1 night at Black Pearl Farms

I got a little lost at first but I enjoyed myself so much! I received help staring a fire and it lasted through an entire thunderstorm. River is absolutely beautiful and sunset through the trees was amazing 100/10

1 night at Edisto River Luxury RV Resort

Dustin's two camp sites are beautiful and private. The bath and shower (and laundry!) facilities are so very clean and well appointed. The screened gazebo with TV (for watching NCAA playoffs) were super comfortable and gave us a break from our van while still being protected from a light rain. So worth every cent!

Weekend Trip to Hanscombe Point Plantation

Second visit, brought the whole family and it was a great experience. Quiet, clean, and everything we wanted. Will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Echoes & Ember Chs

I loved everything about this little slice of Heaven! Pam has thought about just about everything, down to shampoo and soap options to keep everything biodegradable and respectful to the land. The outdoor shower was amazing, I’m not a robe person but highly recommend using both the shower and the robe afterwards. It’s so peaceful and relaxing!

Weekend Trip to Edisto River Luxury RV Resort

Every detail about this Hipcamp was perfect! We were in site 1, the moment we pulled into the site we were blown away by the beauty of the location and how peaceful it was. We met Dustin briefly and he was very personable. We hated to leave, and would love to return.

3 nights at Edisto River Luxury RV Resort

What a hidden gem! Dustin has done an amazing job at creating this little oasis for our pleasure! The cobble patio, the screened in sitting area with a small refrigerator, the hot tub with the night lighting. The up lighting of the trees at night is beautiful. The outdoor shower and the availability of laundry! What can I say? This spot is perfect! We will be back next year, I hope and for more than a couple of days!

Weekend Trip to EDENHOPE FARMS

Private spot with access to a bathroom. Very nice.

2 nights at Hanscombe Point Plantation

Great primitive/dry camping spot off the river. Easy to access. Close camping to Charleston.

1 night at Hanscombe Point Plantation

I did not get to stay here. Not the host's fault. I was running late a d felt bad about calling someone at 2 in the morning, so I just slept ay a truck stop. 🤷‍♂️. Hopefully I can try again some other time.

Weekend Trip to Bennetts Point 31

I really enjoyed my stay here. This is a very unique property with views of the marsh and Ashepoo river. It was very quiet and peaceful, the only sounds I heard were birds and a few airplanes. Bathroom /shower was very nice, Lots of areas close by for fishing/hiking/birdwatching. If you want to venture out, Bear Island Wildlife Management area is a few minutes down the road, and Botany Bay and Edisto Beach are about an hour drive. B&B seafood market, just a miles away, is a great place to pick up fresh shrimp and fish to cook at the campsite. Jonathan was great and I highly recommend his land to anyone looking to stay in the area.

1 night at Edisto River Luxury RV Resort

The campsite and amenities were so private and well kept. Even better than the photos.

Weekend Trip to Edisto Camp And Canoe

Great spot! Our family loved it. The campsite was clean and private. The lake and pond offered great fishing spots.
