Camping at this site offers a peaceful retreat with a beautiful blend of nature and proximity to attractions like Charleston and Folly Beach. Most campers appreciate the quiet setting, the presence of animals like cows and donkeys, and the scenic views of the tidal marsh. However, some noted that campsites can feel a bit close together and there have been occasional issues with broken glass or noisy neighbors. Despite these concerns, the overall experience is positive, with campers valuing the location's tranquility and natural beauty.

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.

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

We spent a pleasant night here in May! Great place to set up an overland tent, and we loved waking up to the cows having breakfast nearby.

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!!

on John's Island, half-way to Kiwiah Island. Primitive camping, no services. Close to Charleston. Unfortunately too dangerous to bike anywhere, must drive

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.

We enjoyed camping very much at this site. It was quiet and peaceful. Plus waking up to donkeys outside our tent one morning was so cool.

Great directions and owner was easy to reach for additional details which was super helpful since we arrived in the evening. Site was clearly marked and was tidy. Only 10 minutes from the Angel Oak which is a must see when visiting the area.

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.

The campsite worked really well for us, and we would come back if we visit Charleston in the future. It’s close to a grocery store and gas station. The property itself feels very far away from civilization. If you want a no-frills camping experience, go here. The only tricky part was driving through it to get to the camping area. We have a 2WD campervan. The roads were drivable but better for a car or AWD. Signage was very clear.

Great experience and responsive host. Firewood bundles for purchase on site are huge and I was able to run my campfire for hours on two bundles. Only half an hour outside of Charleston for anyone wanting to enjoy the city and have a quiet night of camping afterwards. Highly recommend.

Good Campground Near Charleston!

Hanscombe Point Plantation
We enjoyed our stay at Hanscombe Point Campground! The campsites come with a picnic table and a fire pit (except no fires on site 4), and there is one outhouse in the middle of the campground. The road was a little bumpy, but our Nissan Altima was able to make it back to the campsites with some skill. There are some small flying bugs that bite if you camp close to the water, but bugs are only a minor problem and quickly go away if there is a campfire or wind. Most of the campsites are pretty close together, but there is still reasonable space between them. Overall, I think it is a great place to camp near Charleston and I would recommend it to any one interested in the area.

Great tent camping spot but I saw a few possums and raccoons nesting near the campsite. The road to get back there was very very holey and bumpy but that could be because of rain, other than that I loved it!
