Such a peaceful stop over with the friendliest hosts. It felt like absolute magic having the whole green space to myself!

Beautiful spot, lots of room. Great hosts, very very friendly. Very private. Highly recommend, especially for those with a rooftop tent or truck camper. Cant speak for tent campers as our cross country trip seems to have thunderstorms following us everywhere we go.

Great spot, secluded within a wooded area. Nice fire ring. It would be nice to have some signage for self check in. Hipcampers like myself enjoy the self sufficiency check ins if possible.
Otherwise a nice little location to camp for the night while traveling.

I absolutely had a wonderful time camping at Debra’s place. She was so kind and welcoming. You really don’t meet people that nice anymore. I am bikepacking the Palmetto Trail and her place was the perfect stop along my route. It’s also a short walk to a bar and grill, bonus! Would recommend to anyone looking to primitive camp. Very private too! She also runs a shuttle service for anyone interested!

We really enjoyed staying at Debra's. They let us put our tent up back in the thick stand of trees. It was nice and private and we even were able to park our RAV4 back there. They were super hospitable. We will definitely stay there again next time we go through!

We parked our van in the more secluded area behind a thick grove of pines. Very private. Deb is a good communicator.

Very welcoming! We needed some place affordable to put up some hammocks for some sleep on a long drive. Offered water, told us to come knock if we needed anything. For our family the price was right to keep us safe. I wish we had time to stay longer. The stars were beautiful. Yes you can hear the road so if that bothers your sleep easily bring some earplugs.

Safe spot for a stop over while traveling, close to 95. The Oasis bar is an experience of it's own! We stayed near the house and got a quiet night's sleep. There is a nice private spot out backwould definitely stay there next time.

I love this campsite. Josh met me and led me to my spot. Where I was, I was secluded away to myself. I will definitely be going back!

Quiet peaceful spot. Critters scampering in the woods at night and lots of mosquitoes but I had good bug spray and I didn't mind critters

This was exactly what we expected - a quiet piece of land to park for the night. Nothing fancy, but it worked well as a quick stopover. Peaceful and no surprises. Debra was great at communicating and her nephew was helpful at pointing us where to park. I would stay here again

I would recommend for a short stop over, not so much for a scenic camp experience. I stopped here for one night on my way up to Pennsylvania and it was adequate. I felt safe and comfortable and was able to watch the day come alive over the trees past the field.

Super one-night spot just off I-95 in South Carolina. As soon as I pulled onto the property, Josh (Debra’s nephew) came out and welcomed me warmly. We walked a few of the sites available, and he encouraged me to take a particular spot based on my rig (a new spot he just made). The stay was fantastic! AT&T, 1-2 bars, and I was able to launch a hotspot on AT&T, streaming YouTube videos. The camp site is not far from some train tracks. I came in Friday afternoon around 4:15PM, and I left the next morning by 7:30AM. The train only came through during my stay one time, at 6PM. It was actually really cool!! You can walk up to the train tracks. According to Josh, there are some trails that can be walked too but I did not take advantage of them. Great stop …. Great for a good nights rest.
