Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.
Hanscombe Point Plantation is a 300 acre working farm that has been in the Legare family for 9 generations. We raise beef cows, heritage breeds of pigs, laying hens, and water buffalo.  Additionally, we raise vegetables and do a lot of agri-tourism including: summer camps, school field trips, and a large pumpkin patch maze each year. Our accommodations include a vintage camper, primitive campsites along a salt water creek, and an RV area on our farm. We are located just 30 minutes from nearby beaches and downtown Charleston. Use our property as your base of operation as you have fun at the beach or tour the historic city, or just stay for a quiet get away in the woods. There is also a lot of wildlife such as: wild turkeys, woodstorks, raccoons, and alligators.  Fishing and crabbing are available on the salt water creek next to the campsite as well. We look forward to hosting you!

This is a field next to our playground. Convenient to Charleston and beaches. This site is not as pretty as our primitive campsites and is not on the River but it is the only place on our farm where electricity is available. We do not have water that you can hookup to however we may be able help you fill your tank if you have one on your RV. Please note that you may use the playground for your children to play on if there are no other events. However, renting this space does NOT give you exclusive use of the playground. There are frequently birthday parties or other event going on.

Easy in and out. Was quiet and a pretty morning. Got in late after coming earlier in day to secure a site near the water. Not a place with immense creature comforts, but affordable and easy to work with. Also 30 min from beach… 25 from downtown.

Gorgeous tidal creek campsite
Tent ·
Hanscombe Point Plantation
This place is incredible. If you are a comfortable primitive camper and you love natural beauty, book here immediately. In the two days I spent camping here, I spent hours watching the sun rise over the tidal creeks and the golden marsh grass. I watched hundreds of crabs feeding in the pluff mud before the tide came in. I watched cattle graze on a great open pasture. I’ve camped in some pretty breathtaking places and this was up there with the best. The campground feels remote but Charleston and other barrier islands d destinations are very accessible. Check in couldn’t be easier, firewood was abundant, and I was left alone for two days. I’d come back here in a heartbeat. In fact, I think I will.

Need to put mothballs in and around outhouse and PORTIJOHNS because there were 3 huge snakes in em. They took portijohn out first day, so then it was just a (hell no) outhouse with a snake in it too. It's in a cow field, which was beautiful and expansive but no fences between campers and cows..I ride a motorcycle and those bulls scared the poo outta me. I asked a lady on a tractor if she could shoo a big cow with horns (and a calf) out of the driveway, she said it wouldn't do anything and I DID NOT want to drive past it bc calf, horns...then she went on how she's been here 20 years and blah blah smart mouth stuff. Seeing how it was the only way in and out I had my daughter in a car get in between me and cow. There's no water and no access to water except salt water marsh on one side. I hate to give a bad review but it was not a good time at all.

Great, secluded spot. Good clean outhouse. It is primitive, so no running water, which is definitely not a problem ifyou come prepared. The road to the sites is fine, but you will be better suited in an SUV than a sedan/coup. We went while it was raining, and I don't think I would have made it in my Honda. Luckily, we didn't have it!!! Anyway, beautiful spot. The birds are awesome in the morning. Good communication from the host.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. It was close to Charleston and on a very pretty farm. Other than some very noisy neighbors at 5 am, our stay was perfect. Would definitely recommend.

Great site in a beautiful place close to Charleston and Folly beach. Plenty to do within just minutes as well. There was some broken glass scattered around the site and the sites were a little close together for my personal liking but it was great! Loved everything about our weekend

The setting was quiet and beautiful. Tidal marsh on one side and pasture on the other. Cows came strolling by shortly after sunrise and 2 VERY friendly donkeys stopped by for pets. A peaceful retreat. Thank you for sharing.

This is such a lovely place to camp. We were on the edge of the estuary and saw many species of birds. We had shade and dappled sun making it perfect for relaxing in our spot. The sites were well separated. We’d love to go back someday!!

Great spot to stay for a quick trip to Charleston, the sights are kinda hard to see at night. Waking up to cows was super exciting but we didn’t see the Water buffalo😞

A great stop for a few days on a pretty farm. Shaded. Verizon and TMobile were fine for our cells but we used our starlink for work hours, which worked just fine. No one bothers you lol. Great stay and half the cost of parking our rig closer to Charleston center. 10 minutes from one of the nicer Walmarts we’ve been too. Thanks!

Really good location if you’re looking for a base camp away from the crowds but close enough to explore each day. Campsite are fairly well spaced, with a good choice of either shade or sun.

If Linda would’ve just replied to my message about me canceling or rescheduling my trip and not billing me, because I couldn’t make it… Then I would recommend it. Still haven’t heard from her.
