Oak Plantation Campground

Stayed here for 9 days in May after a week at Disneyworld. It was an a great stop while visiting friends in Charleston. The park is large and includes huge grassy areas with lots of shade trees with a mix of full/partial hookups and then a full hook up area in the back that is mostly gravel with some patchy grass and bushes. The large grassy sections with trees was just gorgeous and I can't say enough about it, unfortunately we couldn't get into any of those full hook up sites and were banished to the back in the gravel, but it was nice to be able to walk the park and enjoy the shade.

One of the best parts was the dog park. It was a massive grass area with a few very large trees. Plenty large enough to throw the frisbee for our dogs and for them to run their hearts out. It was very clean!

I believe that they are only taking reservations 3 months out at this time since they are currently selling the property, hopefully it will remain an RV park as it is truly a lovely place to stay.

The staff were very friendly upon checking in.
We had a lovely end spot, G8. No satellite but cable tv worked just fine. We were able to stream TV on Verizon This park is big rig friendly for 45ft motorhome homes with toads and stacker trailers. We were scheduled to stay a week but hubby came down with the flu and the staff was able to extend our stay for another week without having to move stops.
The only negative was the left hand turn in and out of the park. Traffic signal causes long back ups and the drivers arent courteous. We camped at Oak Plantation Campground in a Motorhome.

The options in Charleston seemed small for such a great place to visit. The state park on James Island was always booked, except for during the week. The staff here is very friendly and helpful. The sites are a mix of grass, gravel, or a concrete pad. Most of them are pull-throughs. Some have FHU, some only water/electric, some are dry camping. Some are 30 amp only, some are 30/50. So if you needs something specific let them know. We stayed in a FHU, with 30 amp, on a concrete pad. There was no breaker on the electric box - FYI. The wifi was so-so. This is a basic park and a good place to stay while exploring the area. The biggest downfall is getting in or out of the park - Hwy 17 is VERY busy. When you come out of the park, you have to go right and do not expect to get into the left turn lane. There is a Speedway gas station on the corner where you could maybe pull through and come out on Main st, but even that can get busy. I highly recommend when coming to the park that you come in from Hwy 17 south, from the direction of Hwy 526, so that you can turn right into the park. The left lane from Hwy 17 North is just barely there and the traffic is too thick to get through and not courteous. Easy to navigate inside of park.

We stayed here for the location, but expected more from such a large and fairly expensive RV park.

Don’t get me wrong, the park was fine. Plenty of room to get into sites, electric/water/sewer worked just fine. Plenty of trash bins around. It just doesn’t compare to some of the other parks we’ve stayed at recently and for the price, you don’t get much value.

Bathrooms are more like a state park, very old and in need of remodeling. They’re below average compared to other RV parks. At least they were clean.

Getting into and out of the park is another frustration, as the street it’s on is SO busy. Making a left out or in is difficult.

Road noise was noticeable, but not terrible.

Overall a very average park that could do more.

Park is large, easy to navigate and very well maintained. The maintenance guys are always working in the park and it shows. There are many sites with shade and many without shade. Some sites have concrete, and some have gravel. There is plenty of space between the sites and the park is very good about spacing campers out if the park is not full. We have stayed at this park numerous times and am always impressed on quiet the park is. There is noise from the roads but not within the park. Very easy to sit outside and hear nature.
The only negative would be the water – it has a horrible sulfur smell and taste even with our water filtering system.
