1 night at Friendly Fowl Farm

Tent site was very secluded and you're only a few minutes from the beach!! We loved it here.

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 Tiny House on Goat Farm

We had an amazing stay! The goats and chickens really made the whole experience. The hosts were also very warm and welcoming :)) Would definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Edisto River Luxury RV Resort

The sites were just as described! It’s a beautiful, quiet retreat. The bathhouse and outdoor shower were clean and well stocked. The hot tub was perfect for hanging out in the evening. Even being so close to water there were no bugs, no mosquitoes…it was wonderful! We had a great time with our friends that had the other spot. Looking forward to booking our next visit. 100% coming back!

1 night at Friendly Fowl Farm

We had a wonderful stay at Belinda and Tony’s campsite! The site itself was private, clean, and felt very safe, and had a convenient bathroom tent. Plenty of space, picnic table, and a fire pit. Before we departed we got the farm tour and fresh breakfast. The hosts were very welcoming, and it was cool to hear all history of the land. My favorite part was all the animals - so many farm birds, and a very friendly cat, Mimi. We’d definitely stay again if we’re ever in the area. Thank you!!

1 night at Heirloom Hamlet

Curt’s helpfulness and his tour of this magnificent property .. Annie came around too, and introduced herself. Lovely couple. The shower was my favorite…outside with nature The large oak tree was friendly too. I’m looking forward to my return trip.. Next time I’d like to stroll down the quaint city streets.

1 night at Heirloom Hamlet

Loved the site. Curt was very nice and hospitable.

1 night at Heirloom Hamlet

Entrance isn’t marked the best but the address will get you there. All the hook ups are lined up in a row , but flat and spacious. Plenty of room. Great host, and would definitely 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 Hanscombe Point Plantation

I absolutely loved staying here! The views were breathtaking! It was in a safe area and it was so cool to wake-up to farm animals out the window. The host was also very kind. We will definitely be back.

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!

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.

Weekend Trip to Echoes & Ember Chs

The Dome is beautiful and unique! Just slightly off the road (but completely quiet) and into the woods next to a small creek is the location to a secret getaway. Something you can’t find anywhere else. My husband and I stayed on a 90° weekend but the dome was able to keep cool with its ac unit. Everything was super clean and organized. The bed was extra comfortable and firm! This dome and its environment allowed my husband and I to pause and take a moment for ourselves.

Weekend Trip to Tiny House on Goat Farm

The attention to detail is present inside and out! We loved the animals and the quiet so much. The space was even bigger than I expected, with all the amenities in great working order and so cozy and charming!

1 night at Shire Hill Grove, Yemassee, SC

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

Heirloom Hamlet

5 sites · RVs5 acres · Ridgeland, SC

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.

Camping in Colleton State Park guide

Overview

About

Head to the river at Colleton State Park. Sure, animals flock to rivers for water source but now that we think of it, all the fun stuff involves water too. Smart animals. Take the kayak or canoe out on the Edisto River for some unbelievable views and upper body workouts. Cast your line out with a bud or fish solo; sit beneath a nearby tree and put a dent in your book club novel. Bring the kiddies to the playground and give in to your inner child; get on those swings! Hike the trails to see how much flora and fauna you can identify. The more time spent outdoors, the longer that list becomes!
