Weekend Trip to Prices Bridge Inn & Campgrounds

Beautiful property, friendly hosts, river access. Would rent again!

2 nights at Black Pearl Farms

Beautiful campsite and wonderful host who was helpful and accomodating. This was absolutely my favorite Hipcamp yet! Will definitely be back again.

3 nights at Black Pearl Farms

Beautiful property with very friendly/helpful/responsive staff/hosts. Hookups were convenient and the river was close! Would absolutely stay again.

1 night at Too Many Oaks Plantation

The cabin really makes this site feel like glamping and it’s awesome. Being able to cook and shower then go sit around the camp fire is worth it.

Weekend Trip to Too Many Oaks Plantation

We had such a fun time here! Michael was so friendly and welcoming and the area was beautiful. The outside of the cabin was a little creepy but the inside made up for it. You can tell how much love goes into this place. Campsites are well spaced and have plenty of room. Bring strong bug spray, the ants bite!!

3 nights at Black Pearl Farms

The campsite and farm were beautiful! We loved the on site farm store - blueberries and honey were delicious! The owners have big plans and new campsite offerings are in the works! We will definitely be back in the fall or spring! Thanks Mike and Meg!

Weekend Trip to Black Pearl Farms

Had a wonderful time at Black Pearl farms ! Enjoyed the tour as well as the beautiful wood fired sauna. Can’t wait to come back.

Weekend Trip to Sweetwater Lake Campground

We had the most magical time at Sweetwater Lake! Olivia was an incredible host; thoughtful, responsive, and truly went above and beyond. The site was stocked with everything you could possibly need for a cozy, comfortable stay. Just bring your own food and you’re set! You can feel the love and intention that’s been poured into this place. It’s peaceful, private, and the perfect spot to unplug, recharge, and reconnect. Highly recommend for a serene getaway.

Weekend Trip to Too Many Oaks Plantation

Michael's land provided a great first hipcamp experience for us. Directions were straight forward and easy to follow and Michael was very friendly when visiting to introduce himself and check on us.

1 night at The Goodson Forest Estate

Great RV site for visiting Congaree NO or Columbia. This site has everything we needed for full hook up including an excellent WiFi. No other amenities but what else do you need when camping? We stayed at site 3 and it was perfect for us. David was a great host and prompt on communication. Highly recommend.

1 night at Too Many Oaks Plantation

This is a great camp spot for small RV or tent. Very private wooded area. Michael was very accommodating and offered us split firewood for an enjoyable camp fire. Plenty of firewood available but bring an axe to split it. There are several sites to camp on so it would be great a family with kids or small groups. All the sites were very clean and no trash laying around. Michael does a good job keeping the area clean. Would be a great place for kids to enjoy. Wish we could have stayed for a second night.

Weekend Trip to Too Many Oaks Plantation

Liked it so much we booked it a second night. (Totally out of character for me.) I would vote this as a unique site. It is definitely on my short list of places I would stay again. We ended up not staying the night due to storms- so I will point you to my 1st review. 5 stars.

Weekend Trip to Prices Bridge Inn & Campgrounds

Jesse was welcoming, the nights were quiet and filled with deer. The site was well maintained, considering the tall grass surrounding the site there were no ticks, the lake was visible and just a short walk through the woods. Good combo of openness and sunshine with woods and shade.

Weekend Trip to Too Many Oaks Plantation

Beautiful land with the most charming cabin ever for a very convenient restroom/kitchen area. Firewood was readily available which we really appreciated. Even the rain didn’t stop us from having a good time. We loved our stay and would love to camp again! The dogs enjoyed it as well.

Weekend Trip to Too Many Oaks Plantation

This is the best time I have had camping in a long time. Very clean. Very quiet despite a nearby road. Incredible live oaks. So many great birding opportunities. Very private and felt breezy and cool despite the heat of a near 90 degree day. It was nice to be able to retreat to the homestead on the property for water and clean potty. Best of Hipcamp in the Midlands of SC.

1 night at Too Many Oaks Plantation

A fun adventure! While we were tent camping, we appreciated access to the cabin, even if it was spooky. (Probably not ghosts! Just birds living above the porch.) Michael was friendly and informative in his messages. The sites were well lit and good sized. The chairs and tables, decor, and proximity to the bathroom/kitchen in the cabin were superior to a standard campground in our opinion. We would come back in the future!

Weekend Trip to Woodland Gardens

Small camper perfect for a couple nights near Congaree NP. Friendly dog and cat on property, and our host was very kind and inviting! Unique & artsy atmosphere, very peaceful & secluded. Shower was pretty tiny, good for necessary cleaning but nothing past that. Would definitely stay again!

Weekend Trip to Kaleidoscope Farm

Very pretty spot to camp for the night. Lots of pretty stars. Road traffic is louder than expected, but still nice. I couldn’t find the little graveyard, but I’m sure it was right under my nose somewhere.

Weekend Trip to Black Pearl Farms

Super friendly and welcoming hosts! Our original site was flooded but Mike set us up at another spot still close to the river. Clean bathroom, awesome blueberry picking and we loved the lavender-infused honey, fresh eggs and firewood Mike brought us. Great stay. I would definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Eagles Landing

Great campsite, water view, kayaks, firewood available, excellent host. We look forward to our next visit.

Camping in Aiken State Park guide

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.

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.
