We bought this Airstream in 2022 as an old shell. It was junky and a mess, and not much in it other than old scraps and junk. We renovated it in 2022 and 2023, and turned it into a cozy, midcentury modern style Glamper. We tried to plan for every comfort you could want or need, from wifi and a smart TV, to a cute bathroom, Keurig and an Air Fryer. We hope you love it as much as we do. Please note, it is tight quarters, especially for more than two people and large framed people. For this reason, we only allow two guests. We live on a busy street, but the backyard is peaceful and serene. The airstream is parked next to our creek, where waterfowl abound. Only one vehicle allowed.

We had a wonderful stay on James’s property. James was a great host. Met us upon arrival and made sure we had what we needed. Since we didn’t need hookups, he let us choose our own spot, which made the experience even better as we were able to camp closer to the water. The land is beautiful, wooded and surrounded by water and a pond on site. It’s a really unique setting: you feel completely tucked away in the woods, yet the moment you leave the property you’re in a neighborhood and only a short drive from downtown and all the essentials. We’d absolutely recommend this spot, especially for anyone who enjoys boondocking!

We had the most amazing time at this beautiful property! From the moment we arrived, our host went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and taken care of. Their friendliness and genuine hospitality truly set this place apart.
The land itself is stunning—peaceful, spacious, and perfectly maintained. Our dogs were in heaven! They had all the freedom they needed to run, explore, and get plenty of exercise, which made the trip even more enjoyable for us.
This stay genuinely made our vacation unforgettable. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already excited to come back. Highly, highly recommend! 🌟

Very relaxing secluded site very much like state or provincial campgrounds next to the river delta. Took an early morning walk around the field watching the morning mist move over the morning dew-covered grass.
Full hookups for sewer, water, and 50/30/20 amp electrical.
Within a gated area next to a large field with an eclectic assemblage of farm machinery and boats.
Left very relaxed.

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.

My husband and I have stayed at many Hipcamp places and air b n b’s and this was by far, our favorite!! The spot is very private, river front, big yard with a grill and smoker, tables, lounge chairs! Fully fenced and very secure! If you want to bring a pet it’s great! ! A deck that is right off the river! The view from the bedroom is the river! The cat fishing was amazing! They were bitting! You can fish off the deck!! The view of the river is beautiful! The rv is huge, nicely decorated, and sleeps a lot! It’s super nice! It has two cute lofts for kids!! It was stocked with all the amenities!! Monee the host was the best host! She answers right away, gives detailed instructions! She is super sweet! It was also thirty mins from Pawley’s island beach!! Beautiful beach! Myrtle beach and Charleston are about an hour away! So much to do at this location!! We plan to stay here longer, very soon!!
