Excellent! Plenty of room (very quiet, private, and pleasant) for me and my Ram 3500 van. I really enjoyed my overnight here - it's peaceful, easy access, good cell coverage (I'm Spectrum). Great place.

Such an amazing stay. It is clear a lot of work and detail has been done to the camp to make it as fun and cozy as possible! Michael was so kind and an amazing host. Quick communication and no issues whatsoever! Such a fun swing, axe throwing spot, and campfire area! I hope to make it back someday! Definitely recommend.

Weekend Trip to Too Many Oaks Plantation

Three of us stayed for two below-freezing but delightful November nights at Too Many Oaks (site 1). Our goal was privacy and being in nature, and this location is definitely that! We were the only campers there at the time, but I think it would have been reasonably private even if the other site was also taken. Mike kindly allowed us to use his bathroom and kitchen, which are rustic but way better than washing dishes outside when it’s 29F! He also had plenty of wood for our camp fire. The sky was super dark even with a bright moon, and the stars were spectacular. The location was about a 40 minute pleasant drive through pines and cotton fields to Congaree National Park. Google Maps tried to navigate us directly to the property off Rt 26. Doesn’t work! Make sure you get the full address - HipCamp didn’t provide it to us. Mike was very fast with responses when we reached out for a last minute booking and then afterward for the address. If we drive from Philly to Florida again, we’ll definitely stay here!

The campsite was gorgeous and felt very private. The land is beautiful and my hosts were so helpful and gracious. The only piece of information folks might need is that an off-leash dog roamed from a nearby property and sniffed around the campsite on multiple days. Every time I saw the dog in advance, and there were no incidents with my pets as a. I interacted with the dog who was very sweet but I did not feel comfortable introducing my dogs to these dogs just in case. My hosts communicated with me about the issue and did their best to offer solutions. I don't think this would be a showstopper for people without pets at all, and not necessarily even for those with them as long as you are careful.

Stephanie was super helpful and directive. Land felt private and nice, but could still hear the road nearby. We got in super late so didn't explore much, but seemed spacious and pretty well kept. Kinda spooky vibes, but still safe.

This was the perfect place to stop on our trip. Our children absolutely loved your property — especially the swing with the lights and the axe-throwing area, which was a huge hit! We also really appreciated your generosity in letting us use your bathroom and kitchen — that meant a lot after a long day on the road. It was such a pleasure meeting you and getting to chat for a bit.

We had an awesome time. There was plenty of fire wood cut to collect and the camping spots were well maintained. Made it really easy to just pull up unload and set up. Definitely will be planning another stay!

Wonderful, cozy campsite. Off the road enough to keep it quite. The lights on the oaks was extra special! The Host communicated perfectly and made me feel welcome, like it was his living room! Lots of room to have a large family camp or a couple of families camping together.

We camped our way from the Everglades to northern Michigan and this was by far my favorite hip camp. An old farm house under a giant magnolia, surrounded by oak trees. It was like something out of a country song. I will be back to South Carolina and I have so much comfort knowing I have a good safe place to rest my head.

It was a great little spot outside Columbia. Secluded and beautiful woods. Would definitely visit again! You can hear some cars on the road so it’s not like you’re out in the middle of nowhere where but we didn’t mind that. Nice place to camp out in nature. Check it out!
