Not far from Charleston , a quiet open small campground. Not much use of boat ramp as it was cool and drizzly.

Stayed here for a few nights. RV sites with water and electric are 28$. Tent sites are only 20$. We parked our van in the parking space of the tent sites and it was perfect. Very nice camphosts as well! About 40 mins drive to Charleston.

Great quiet campground along the Intracoastal Waterway. Beautiful scenery overlooking marshes. Free gun range with 10 miles.

Nice place to stay directly on the Intercoastal Waterway if you want to fish, kayak, watch luxury boats slide by, or watch birds. I’m a hiker though so was disappointed over the lack of trails.
The campground loop is wide open offering no landscaping or privacy. I have two dogs and needed to change my site for their comfort. The Camp Host informed me that to switch to an empty unreserved site, I’d have to pay for two sites, the site I originally booked as well as the new site. In my 2 1/2 years of full time camping, that was a first.

Only 14 RV sites and 5 tent sites. The boat ramp keeps busy, especially on weekends, but we were in Site 1, the closest to the ramp, and the early morning boat launches did not disturb us at all. Right on the Intracoastal Waterway, with a National Wildlife Refuge across the water and a half mile of trees between you and the highway. It was very quiet and peaceful. You can see all the campsites, but they are spaced out so that it doesn't feel crowded. Sites are paved, long, and level. Hookups are convenient. The dump station is oddly placed at the far end, and prevents you from driving to the trash dumpster if it is in use. Downtown Charleston is only 30-40 minutes away down U.S. 17. We will definitely return.

While the weather is cold here, the bathhouse is unheated with warm water. The bathhouse remained with building vents open with the wind blowing thru. Sites are even. Right on the canal. Trails in the forest outside the cg. Electric and water. Walmart 20 minutes away.

We decided to stay here as we were checking out Charleston, SC and it provided everything that we needed.
View of the water is nice, nice and quiet, plenty of room between spaces, flush toilets and free showers!
They have tent options that you can park and walk a little bit to for 20 bucks a night or the water and electric for 28.
We opted for the power and liked this option because we could pay for a site, head into town and beach, and know that we still had a spot to come back to.
Bathrooms were clean as well as the showers. Water was warm… not too hot or cold, normally this is great, but I was hoping for a colder shower because it was so hot and humid it would have been a nice way to cool off. Still very nice benefit of the campground though for sure.
Camp host was very nice.
One thing to note is that recreation.gov said there were walk ups available and when we got there there is a sign that says campground full… there still may be sites available you just need to drive through and look which ones are not reserved for the day.
Would stay here again for sure.

My husband and I worked while we were here using both Verizon and AT&T service with no problems and no MIMO antenna needed for streaming, video calls, etc. They're all good sites, but if you can get one facing the water I recommend it for the views. It only has 1 main trail to walk on, but it's still a nice walk!

Reserved yesterday for a site July 16th. Appeared open, lots of reserved sites taken. Received a refund from recreation.gov today. Looked again and all sites now have "X" until July 30.
