Too Many Oaks Plantation sits on 21 acres in the sand hills of Calhoun county just outside Columbia S C.

Our present project is building a luxury bathhouse ( still being framed now ) right now guests have access to the Bathroom & Kitchen of the old farm house ( built in 1903 )
We are close to Columbia ( 30 minutes ) for a nice trip to the zoo or a float down the Saluda River with Adventure Carolina or a visit to Soda City Market which is Columbia’s weekly Main Street event inspired by traditional European street markets open every Saturday morning 9 a.m. –1 p.m., year-round, rain or shine!
Too Many Oaks is a perfect mix of nice and quiet but still close to town. Also just in Synchronous fireflies, which are fireflies that gather and flash their lights at the same time as part of a mating ritual, are expected to light up the Congaree National Park in May. Check with the park for details.

Too Many Oaks was a really awesome place. It felt secluded, yet was close to a highway and Columbia. The trees were magnificent. Site 1 was really comfy with lights strung in the big oak, a tree swing, axe throwing station, water, light power, picnic area, and fire pit. There was plenty of room to turn around and a level spot to put my camper. I enjoyed the farmhouse with its uneven plank floors, and old-world charm. Michael was fun to chat with loves his place more than I did! I would come back in a heartbeat.

I'm an experienced camper (hammock) and this was a wonderful first experience with Hip Camp! I found two appropriate trees back behind the clearing to hang my hammock and tarp. The farmhouse is the best part. It was stocked more thoughtfully than any Airbnb or VRBO I have rented!
I just needed a simple quick hang relatively close to i26 so I could sleep on my way from FL to NC. This was far above that. In fact Michael has set the bar high for my expectations of future Hip Camp sites. I plan on returning again!

Our first Hip Camp experience and it was good. We were in site 2 which gave us plenty of space. It was open enough to allow use of our solar panels to top off our camper's battery during the day. Although we have a small off road camper which is self sufficient, having use of the old house for the kitchen sink and the bathroom was nice. As in the listing, nothing fancy, but it got the job done. My wife was grateful for the coffee station which is a nice touch. Overall, a good place and value for the money. It was a good base for exploration/visitation of Congaree National Park.

Lots of fun!! Very pretty spot. Nice and shady. Fishing poles and tackle are NOT included so bring your own. One thing I would like to make people aware of is that the bathhouse is on the other side of the property so prepare for a walk when you plan on using it. But it was a beautiful place and I would absolutely come again. (Maybe in the fall 😉)

We tried the glamping site our first time at Sweetwater Lake Campground. We were very pleased with the amenities they provided. It was so quiet and peaceful although the park was what looked like full capacity with rv's, we felt like we were all alone in the woods camping. Truly a beautiful spot we will book again.

Looks can be deceiving so don’t fall for it. Mike’s property was a great stay. When you pull in, it can look a little off putting with the cabin in the woods he has for you to use as a kitchen and bathroom, it honestly looks a little scary from a movie, but what a hospitable place. Our site was huge, we had firewood at our site, running water, electricity, and a great spot for our tent and hammock. We met a few other people during our stay so that was a pleasant surprise. Mike’s communication was spot on and always prompt. If we head that way again, we would stay again!
