The best camping near St George with hiking

·

St George makes a strong base for hiking campers, with over 480 sites that put trailheads, creeks, and forests right at your tent flap. Expect prices around $45 a night, with some spots dipping as low as $20. Hiking is the big draw here, but you’ll also find easy access to swimming holes and fishing spots. Campfires are allowed at many sites, and showers mean you won’t have to rough it completely. Travelling with a dog? Plenty of sites are pet-friendly. Top picks include Black Pearl Farms (166 reviews), Edisto Island Vacation Rental RV (83 reviews), and Camp on the Creek (59 reviews). Each offers its own take on the local landscape—think marsh views, shaded groves, and quiet mornings with only the sound of your boots on the trail.

21mi from St George · 1 site · Tent, RV
We are located on 11 acres. Wooded areas, hiking trails on-site. Perfect place to watch for deer and other animals including our 8 on-leash dogs! It is a train lover's dream because we are close to the tracks and enjoy watching the train come and go so much so that the conductor toots and waves to us!! The Santee State Park has many water activities, picnic areas, and hiking trails. There are several golf courses nearby, and a local restaurant/bar within walking distance which often offers trivia, karaoke, pool tables, and live music. Just be careful as you will be walking on the side of a main road as well as over train tracks.

Edisto Island Vacation Rental RV is a fully hooked up new model RV with all the conveniences of home. Located in a beautiful shaded natural forest. Your site backs up to the Edisto Beach State Park where there are miles of amazing hiking and biking trails running through the maritime forest, and while on the trails you can visit the State Park's Environmental Learning Center to take part in their incredible interactive exhibits and learn about the natural history of the island and it's sea life. You will definitely want to spend time exploring or just relaxing on the beautiful beaches teaming with seashells. If you have a boat, feel free to bring it with you when you come, we are very close to the Live Oak Landing boat ramp where I took the picture of the sunset. As the day winds down to an end you can relax by a campfire or just head inside and kick back and watch a movie from the library of dvd's that are available. The bed is a queen and the dining table area can turn into a full bed. I look forward to having you here to make Edisto Island your next playground.
