Primitive Camping at Thompson Farm
Peaceful setting, good campsite, good hosts, and a good location.
Pretty site right on the Waccamaw River, quiet and peaceful at night, mostly quiet daytime, some early morning and late afternoon traffic noise from a nearby main road (and some interesting early morning farm animal sounds) but nothing disturbing. Nice, level areas for pitching a tent. If you have a dog, you must keep it at the back of the property where you pitch camp so as not to disturb the farm animals, and there are woods you can walk in, my little dog loved exploring!

We stayed 3 nights with our 2 dogs and 2 cats. No problems at all. There are a few spots by the river but stayed in an open field for more space because of our animals. The toilets are kept clean and there is a dumpster for trash. I recommend this place and would visit again. Thank you to Scott and his family for accommodating us!

Scott's property was very nice. The fire pit slash chimney was super cool. It was nice that it acted like a chimney in blew smoke out the top. I don't know if what happened every time, but we were able to plug in our coffee maker. It was nice that the farm was open and we could also go in and get a latte. He did a nice job of checking on us.
I really enjoyed my time here. Welcoming hosts, great space, & very accommodating. Will definitely be back.

Scott was great! The farm was easy to find and the tent area was cozy. It was a beautiful spot right on the river with multiple options for making a fire (fire ring and old fireplace). Scott came to check on me as I was packing up after my stay to make sure everything went well.

The campsite is clean and the staff is awesome. It was so humbling to just get back to nature and remember a simpler time in life. Nature is absolutely grand . Everyone should give it a try.
I was absolutely in heaven! I was camping alone & felt safe & so relaxed! Communication from hosts was fantastic too! I loved my spot right in the river! Super easy drive to Myetle Beach too! I would love to stay here again!

Primitive Camping at Thompson Farm
This is the second time we have camped at Thompson Farm. They can accommodate our 37 foot A class with no issues. Great country setting with cows and buffalo out in the pasture and a creek running beside the parking area. We were able to hook into electric, a plus. We would highly recommend!
This place is really beautiful and the pictures don’t do it justice. Lots of nature to enjoy right along side a pristine river.
Highly recommend!
Wonderful site next to a river. Great hosts.
Nice experience.
A wonderful weekend retreat with my fiancé and our dog was exceptional, with everything ready upon arrival, and the views were absolutely stunning. The weather was delightful, with mid-70s temperatures and a short afternoon rain shower. The tranquil ambiance was enhanced by the evening sounds of owls and the coziness of a roaring fire. We wholeheartedly recommend and will definitely return.
My wife and I spent 2 nights on Scott's land in our 18 foot camper and enjoyed it immensely. Enjoyed waking up to the bird calls from the marshes nearby and the lowing of cattle nearby. The only downside was that the concrete pad for the camper, even though designed for 3 campers side-by-side, if another had showed up it would have been quite tight. As it was, Scott had his 5th wheel parked on one side of the pad and we were able to easily park on the river side of the pad. Although Scott assured me that another camper was highly unlikely and, indeed, none showed up, it would have been a tight fit to get a 3rd unit on the pad. But, all-in-all, a pleasant 2 night stay.
Great spot. Scott was awesome. Beautiful area. Very relaxing.
I really enjoyed tent camping here, Scott and Christina were really welcoming hosts and there were really amazing views! Very nice location with convenient access to water (and cell service, if you care about that!) Had a great time and would definitely come back again!

Merveilleux camping !
Un lieu exceptionnel !
Des grenouilles très musicales!
Scott is a very kind, accommodating host with a site that offers so much to explore! From the animals to the beautiful landscape you will get an incredible experience for an amazing price. Great for kids or couples. Easy access to water and portable bathroom available.
Found Scott's place when browsing ideas for a fun family weekend. Scott was an amazing host. We left straight from work to drive down and he had no problems with us checking in late. He gave my son a tour of the animals and made sure we had everything we needed. He gave a perfect balance of letting us know he was near by and available if we needed. But also gave space as to not make it feel like we are constantly being watched.
The property is absolutely amazing. It is located close enough to myrtle beach that it's a short drive to the excitement, but far enough that you can feel secure from the craziness. Tons of local places to eat for cheap if not wanting to have to worry about cooking camp food.
It will absolutely be my first choice anytime I'm In the area visiting.
