Weekend Trip to Blacks Fish Camp

My wife and I love camping at Black's camp. It's a very quiet and peaceful place to visit, enjoy all the wildlife, fishing, kayaking boating and more. This is our 2nd time camping at James Blacks camp ground and will visit it more often. If you like kayaking from the campground down to the boat landing at hwy 15 it takes about 3 to 3.5 hrs. If you fish, floating and take a break on the sandbar it's a bout 6 to 6.5 hours. There's no where else we would rather be. Thanks again James Black for this wonderful place.

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.

3 nights at Black Pearl Farms

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!!

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.

3 nights at Shire Hill Grove, Yemassee, SC

Amazing experience and so peaceful. Bathroom was clean, water and electric worked, and there was farm animals to see and pet! Wife liked the farm animals the most. Especially the little piglets!

1 night at Shire Hill Grove, Yemassee, SC

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.

Great place. Will be back when I can spend more time relaxing.

1 night at Double J Acres

Very peaceful campsite. Jennifer was an excellent host with a beautiful spacious site. I enjoyed seeing the deer in the evening and again in the morning. My next stay will be longer!

1 night at Double J Acres

This campsite was excellent! Jennifer was so generous and I had such a nice peaceful time. The location is excellent if you're making a road trip down I95. I only wish I could have stayed longer.

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 Blacks Fish Camp

Great spot on the Beautiful Edisto River with a ton of camping luxuries: covered river side picnic tables with sink and grill (coal provided also), lights, AC plugs, tons of firewood, canoe/kayak/boat launch, and more. Easy and fast tributary access to the river. *Check water levels before you go. The Edisto can really move when it's high!

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.

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.

1 night at 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.

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 Blacks Fish Camp

Spent the weekend here. It was a nice tucked away little spot. Excellent for kayaking. Really nice that it isn't very far from Charleston. The bathroom was very clean and nice. Definitely recommend.
