Best in South Carolina: 2nd place

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!

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.

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.

Hanscombe Point Plantation

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!!

Hanscombe Point Plantation

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😞
