We have an absolutely gorgeous 12 acres of mostly wooded and/or lakefront land on the West end of Lake Murray (Saluda River).
Me, my wife, and three kids live and work on a 20 acre forest nestled in the backwaters of Lake Murray. Behind Prices Bridge, we have what nature lovers refer to "OH MY GAWD"...
Our land forms a peninsula, which is very private, secluded, and SAFE.
If you want to refresh, recharge or spend quality time with family or friends, we'd love to host you.
*Prices Bridge being a low bridge also means if you bring a large boat you may need to use the marina or any of the free boat launches within a mile of our site... kayaks, canoes, john boats all fit under. :-)

This Property was purchased by Grandfather in the 70s and then was passed to my Mother. In 2013 I decided to live life differently and start from the ground up building with natural materials and found materials. At that time I was fortunate enough to have the land passed to me and I started building a home for myself and to be close to my mothers home nearby. After achieving the basics I decided that the best use of this beautiful land was to create a place for people to relax and enjoy, a park like environment dedicated to preserving natural beauty and amplifying it through a permaculture lifestyle. 8 years later I am blown away at how far the dream has become a reality and love sharing my space with people from all over the country.

I hobbled into Sunny Day Adventures on an almost-flat tire on Christmas Eve, thinking I would have to wait until the day after Christmas to get it repaired and then continue on my journey. But, lo and behold, the host has a tire shop behind the house! Joe patched up the tire on Christmas morning and I was on my way. What a Christmas blessing!
Extremely kind hosts, sweet family and cute Airedale puppy.
The camping spot has a full hook-up behind a little building used as an Airbnb. It is on a rather busy road, but the noise was barely noticeable. It felt like a peaceful country setting, even though it's just a couple of minutes from the historic town of Abbeville.
I highly recommend Sunny Day Adventures!

I loved this site! Super beautiful with the trees and river. There's ample room for 2 vehicles and 2 tents. No picnic table which would've been nice, but we brought our own and it was ok. The fire pit was nice as well. The river bank was steep so not easy to get in and out of, but I think there's a boat ramp somewhere. I would definitely love to stay here again, overall a really nice spot

Overview
About
Important battles were fought and lives lost in this South Carolina site, home to European settlers from the mid 18th century. The unusual name refers to the number of miles that early Charleston traders estimated to be the distance between the town of Ninety Six and the Cherokee village of Keowee,
Located at the crossroads of 12 roads and pathways, Ninety Six fended off attacks from the local Indians and grew to become an important frontier town with houses, taverns, shops, a courthouse and jail. Fortified by the British in 1780, it was the scene of the longest field stage of the Revolutionary War when 1,000 patriot troops attacked 550 loyalists who were defending Ninety Six. The Star Fort is now one of the best examples preserved of an 18th century fortification.
Entry is free. The visitor center opens Wednesday to Sunday from 9 a.m. through 4 p.m. and the park grounds are open to visits daily from dawn 'til dusk. Take a ranger-led tour when available or pick up a map and make your own way along the trails. The one-mile historic interpretive trail that starts and ends at the visitor parking lot takes you past reconstructed siege works, the original Star Fort, the town site and historic roads. There are also some primitive trails for hikers, such as the Cherokee Path, and alternative trails for horseback riders subject to weather conditions.
Pack lunch to enjoy at the picnic tables near the parking lot, just down from the log house, and spend some time birdwatching or fishing at the Star Fort Pond. Fishing is restricted to Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays April 1 to November 1. Fish caught here include crappies, sunfish and largemouth bass, while more than 130 different species of birds have been spotted in the area.
