Elmwood Recreation Area

I arrived feb 18, there was already a few others. Very quiet, plenty of room, limit 14 days. Very nice place

We drove up to Elmwood just to check it out since no recent reviews and did not stay. Paved road up until you turn on gravel FS drive with a few potholes. A few tent campers and RVs were up there. It is pretty remote primitive ’hunt camp’ camping experience and sign stated you can stay up to 14days. Didn’t see designated sites, but ppl... more

If you’re looking for free dry camping this is the place. It’s only 4 miles off the highway and easily accessible with my 36’ 5th wheel. There’s pit toilets and a water spigot available with lots of space for big rigs. It’s also really quiet here.

There's mosquitos 24-7 early eavning some type of biting fly comes out then switches to super skits. Bug spray, candles, lotion, anything is a must. It's quiet. There were campers with kids when I got here but they weren't too loud. There is a water spigot to the back with lightly browned water you can use. The vault toilets not to... more

This place is great! We arrived on Thanksgiving weekend so it was very busy but quickly cleared out during the week. Very accessible for our 30 foot class A. The road leading in is dirt/stone but very well maintained. There’s plenty of space for multiple big rigs throughout. The clearing all the way at the end is the biggest and most o... more

Elmwood Recreation Area is a great little campground for a short stay. I had some work in the area and was looking for a location convenient to Georgetown and Myrtle Beach. It is very quiet and well away from main roads. There were only a few others at the campground leaving lots of space. I was in a tent, but there was a family in... more

We spent the previous night at the Santee coastal reserve, another dispersed camping area whose turn in is directly across from the turn in to Elmwood. But over at the Santee preserve, we got eaten alive by deer flies! Unbelievable! Over here, no bugs! And two bars of Verizon depending on which site you picked.

The ranger recommended this one which is closer to 17 than Honey Hill. No designated site and we chose the open grassy field near drop toilet(hold your nose) bring your own toilet paper and sanitizer. We walked to Hampton Plantation State Park on Rutridge Road about 2.5 miles and really enjoyed its ground, camellia and azalea g... more

Brought my Rpod out here on the way back to Savannah. Excellent boondocking site. We were the only ones here. Very quiet. Would definitely camp here again.

What an incredible hunting camp! It's really peaceful. There is no designated site, we chose our site and moved to our liking.
We took advantage of our stay here to visit a historic site located 3km. Very interesting.
