3 nights at Camp on the Creek

Frances’s tent sites are nothing short of magical. They sit right on the edge of a beautiful saltwater marsh where you can watch redfish feeding, dolphins playing, and the most glorious sunrises you’ll ever see. The natural splendor of the place is only outshined by Frances herself; warm, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable. She makes you feel at home from the moment you arrive. If you’re looking for a peaceful, scenic, and memorable camping experience, this is the spot. Truly a gem.

Weekend Trip to Friendly Fowl Farm

My family stayed two nights at the magnolia site. The site was clean and tent safe, we didn't need a tarp to protect the bottom from small brush or rocks. There was a nice camping toilet that was clean and right on site. Only interacted with host to buy eggs for breakfast but that was our choice, the host was friendly and I'm sure wouldn't mind more interaction if a camper needed it. Love the fact that they are a small farm providing non commercial goods to their community. We felt safe and secure in this site. Remember that this is a working farm and there will be farm noises. Thank you for hosting us.

Wow! Stunning views of an endless pasture lined with pines and live oaks. Loved waking up to cows peacefully grazing just outside the bus. Thank you for sharing your farm with the Hipcamp community!

Palm Corner is located on the Southeast corner of the property. Its the flattest marsh front area.

2 nights at Bennetts Point 31

This location is unreal and a true gem. Stunning water views and incredible stargazing. Care is put into this site - from the cleared camping space, dedicated fire pit and picnic table, and the well equipped outhouse (towels, toiletries, bug spray, water bottles, organic gummy bears - you name it). This site truly exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to come back.

Very relaxing secluded site very much like state or provincial campgrounds next to the river delta. Took an early morning walk around the field watching the morning mist move over the morning dew-covered grass. Full hookups for sewer, water, and 50/30/20 amp electrical. Within a gated area next to a large field with an eclectic assemblage of farm machinery and boats. Left very relaxed.

Why buy a home when you can build a fairytale? Hi, I'm Curt. My wife Ani, son Fitch, and I are your average, everyday nonconformists who have been running an experiment. We are trying to figure out if a family can use their own hands and some grit to handcraft a life that you don't need a vacation from. Or better yet, that you would vacation to. Have we done that? You be the judge. About 4 years ago we left our South Florida handcrafting furniture business to pursue this new goal. We set out to build an inspiring experience in simple, eco-friendly living that would find a harmony between some of the old fashioned world that we'd found ourselves missing, and the handful of modern advancements that were actually beneficial. All while keeping it classy. At Heirloom Hamlet, you will see us designing unique, functional cabins, installing solar, composting, planting, and building toilets that are better for our environment. We're bread baking, pasta making, timber milling, woodworking, clay-forming and metal pounding. The goal is to evolve into a small world of self-reliance and harmony with nature. Ani and I are big believers in being mindful and respectful of our environment wherever reasonable. So, we are incorporating both alternative and municipal utilities as they can fit into our homestead design and limited budget. Through good design, our goal is to show just how "normal" small living can feel. We all have personal priorities and those will vary greatly, and that's okay. But no person should be so self-absorbed that we have completely shut out the importance of being respectfully mindful to the earth and to our fellowman. After all, if we don't have that, what do we have? To be completely transparent, though, the creatives in us also would like it if we inspired onlookers to possibly look at their own space and life a little bit differently. We've personally found it to be so fulfilling to distinguish real desires and needs from the ones we've been groomed to pursue, and then work to make them a reality. We've found it energizing to witness our fellowmen and women pursuing a dream. We'd like to be a stimulating memory along any person's journey. Visiting with us, we sure hope our guests don't expect to find a corporate approach to life here, and that they can appreciate some of our old-fashioned ways. That, as our paths cross, we won't be held to a business-first standard that we have worked hard to remove ourselves from. We realize everyone has a right to be themselves, but our presentation at Heirloom Hamlet has been purposefully designed to be a refreshing hideaway from the norm.

The best camping in Hunting Island State Park, SC guide

Overview

About

With five miles of sandy beach and a saltwater lagoon hemmed in by lush maritime forest and ocean views—South Carolina’s most visited state park has no shortage of postcard-worthy views. Climb to the top of Hunting Island Lighthouse for the most impressive panorama, then hop aboard the ferry to St. Phillips Island or enjoy a dolphin-watching cruise along the coast. Hikers and bikers have more than eight miles of trails to explore, before watching the sunset from the Marsh Boardwalk. The state campground has RV sites with electric and water hookups, as well as walk-in tent sites just a stroll from the beach.

Tips for snagging a campsite

You can reserve one of 120 campsites at Hunting Island State Campground via the South Carolina State Parks website. Campsite reservations require a minimum 2-night stay.
Online reservations open 13 months in advance; same-day reservations must be made directly through the park.
Campsites can book up fast, especially those closest to the beach. Book a minimum of three months in advance to avoid disappointment.

When to go

Hunting Island is South Carolina’s most popular state park, and with more than 1 million annual visitors, it can get busy, especially in summer. It’s warm enough to swim along the coast from May to mid-October, and summer is also the time to spot loggerhead turtles as they nest and hatch along the beach. Boat cruises and dolphin-watching tours run year-round.

Know before you go

Hunting Island State Park is set along the South Carolina coast, about 90 miles southwest of Charleston (less than a 2-hour drive away).
There is an admission fee for the state park, and camping fees also apply. There is a separate fee to visit the lighthouse.
Facilities include a visitor center, park store, boat ramp, fishing pier, picnic shelters, and restrooms. Wifi is available at the visitor center, campground, and shops. The closest large grocery store is located on Lady’s Island, about a 30-minute drive away.
You can bring your own boat and watercraft to Hunting Island; a South Carolina fishing license is required for fishing. Swimming is permitted at your own risk—there is no lifeguard patrol.
