Carolina Piney Woods

1 site · Tent5 acres · Wallace, SC

This primitive camping site is located in the Carolina Sandhills, a 10-35 mi wide physiographic region stretching between North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. The Carolina Sandhills region is characterized by desertlike sand and xeric community vegetation. It is dominated by pine trees, which caused it to formerly be known as Carolina and Georgia's Piney Woods. More than 30 plant and animal species associated with the longleaf pine ecosystem are listed as threatened or endangered, and many of these species require interactions with the longleaf pine. The most famous endangered species of the Carolina Sandhills is probably the red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), which prefers to excavate nesting and roosting cavities in living trees of longleaf pine that are 80–120 years old

The best camping near Cheraw State Park guide

Overview

About

What time is it? Tee time! Nature loving golfers will relish the chance to meander through picturesque pine forest and along the bank of Lake Juniper as they enjoy Cheraw State Park’s challenging 18-hole golf course. Red-cockaded woodpeckers are the only spectators you’ll find at Cheraw. Paddle a kayak or canoe across the lake to enjoy the bright green hues of Cheraw’s dense pine forest, or cast your line off the boat in hopes of a hungry catfish. Cheraw State Park is the perfect mix of still-water serenity, undisturbed forest, and manicured links. Finish off the day with a hike or bike ride through the never-ending trails, a jump in Lake Juniper’s clear waters, or a horse-back ride through the woods, and you’ll be calling this state park a hole in one.
