This cozy retreat is nestled into the woods overlooking our spring-fed pond on our 9.5 acre homestead. While the location is only minutes away from bike trails, walking paths by the river, and our local downtown restaurants/ shops, our unique space on our property makes you feel as though you have escaped into the mountains. We are thrilled for you to enjoy the beauty of our land.

Three of us stayed for two below-freezing but delightful November nights at Too Many Oaks (site 1). Our goal was privacy and being in nature, and this location is definitely that! We were the only campers there at the time, but I think it would have been reasonably private even if the other site was also taken. Mike kindly allowed us to use his bathroom and kitchen, which are rustic but way better than washing dishes outside when it’s 29F! He also had plenty of wood for our camp fire. The sky was super dark even with a bright moon, and the stars were spectacular. The location was about a 40 minute pleasant drive through pines and cotton fields to Congaree National Park.
Google Maps tried to navigate us directly to the property off Rt 26. Doesn’t work! Make sure you get the full address - HipCamp didn’t provide it to us. Mike was very fast with responses when we reached out for a last minute booking and then afterward for the address.
If we drive from Philly to Florida again, we’ll definitely stay here!

I LOVED the lights in the trees and the use of the shower and kitchen in the house!
Beautiful property with walking trails and the host was very communicative and made us feel welcomed. Sites are well spaced and nicely kept.

We had a very large site, and it was quiet. It was so relaxing. Mr. James was a great host. Awsome fishing in the creek beside the campground. We will be returning soon.

I always enjoy camping here. The site is private and and adding on firewood saves space in the car. I brought new friends this time and they loved it. Meg is always very responsive. I will continue to come back every year.

Amazing campsite. Great views for the sunrise and sunset. The host is amazing, his dogs are even better. If you like to fish... The ponds are well stocked. I caught 3 catfish in about 20 minutes. Amazing spot

Stephanie was super helpful and directive. Land felt private and nice, but could still hear the road nearby. We got in super late so didn't explore much, but seemed spacious and pretty well kept. Kinda spooky vibes, but still safe.

Overview
About
Take a journey back to simpler times at Aiken State Park, where you’ll find a paddler’s paradise at the South Fork Edisto River. If you don’t have a whole week to canoe down the length of the Edisto, one of the longest free-flowing blackwater rivers on the continent, the narrow channel that winds through Aiken State Park provides the perfect opportunity for a day trip down the scenic 1.7 mile river trail. Don’t forget a fishing license, or you’ll be missing out on fresh caught bass and catfish for dinner. What’s that? You forgot your bait and tackle? Fear not! Aiken has enough birds of the egret and heron variety for you to make a day out of birdwatching, or you can get your geocaching groove on by hunting down the various geocaches hidden in the park.

Were here in the off-season, and where one of 2 campers plus the campground host. Beautiful long-leaf pines, boat rentals, and friendly rangers.
