Weekend Trip to Edisto River Luxury RV Resort

Truly a hidden gem. My daughter and I had a daddy/daughter weekend while mom was away for work. It was the most relaxing trip, very peaceful with the exception of some people doing what I assume was target practice for awhile. The site was excellent. We spent most of the time in the gazebo watching movies. The hot tub is different than pictured and is an inflatable one. Make sure it's on and running when you get there. Very nice bathroom and OUTDOOR shower. I already have another trip planned in a a few months. Dustin was excellent with communication and always responded very quickly.

I love this Hip camp site! I can't really say enough about it. Although, it rained for two of my three days I still made the best of it. I definitely would recommend for camping, tent , car , RV... They can accommodate you. And there is so much space and trails around the property to walk.

Stephanie was great! She was very responsive in her communication with us, and prepared the campsite prior to our arrival. Her instructions were easy to follow as well. The campsite is plenty large enough for everyone in a group to find a place to set up, but was also just fine for the two of us and our dogs (who could run off leash!). Only drawback was the road noise throughout the day and periodically throughout the night. It wasn’t a big deal for us, but could be for some.

There's a cool vintage truck that made for an awesome photo op
