A little expensive for this part, since nothing to do here; but relax... It is on the Edisto River, which is why we came anyway - to canoe. Which we did using the livery across the way to shuttle us 10 miles up river ($30 total, with YOUR own canoe) or you can rent theirs. Our site was a pull thru. All areas are well shaded. If you go - take ALL your supplies - nearest town is 10 miles away. This CG is about 10 miles east of I-95 and very easy to get too. Restrooms were clean. Small 1/2 mile hiking trail. Not much for kids to do except for a small play area up near ranger station. We would go again if we were just canoeing. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Beautifully shaded sites on river, quiet, access drives a little narrow in places. Nice area will definitely be back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Campground staff is very friendly and even remembered us from a previous visit. The park is small, and typical low country packed sand. When it rained, it was a real mess, but you just have to deal with that. There is a nearby power plant that was quite noisy one night, but our stay was enjoyable. We've visited there several occasions in the past couple of years and will go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here on a site overlooking the Edisto River. We were there for the canoeing and had a blast. The company Carolina Heritage Outfitters is just across the river from the park. They rent canoes for a modest fee. The company is run by a very friendly couple. They drop you off up river and you can simply get back out at the park. The park is the site of a canoe festival in June and fills up far in advance for the festival period. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Dirt road going in sites are also dirt. River on site so real good for fishing. Great place
to stop for night cheap. Swamp in the area so bugs really feast on you. We just spent 1 night on the way to FL so really didnt get to check it out real good. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was a very nice park, though small. We had no trouble getting our 33' motorhome into our spot without unhooking the tow car. The owners were very friendly and helpful, even gave us home-grown garlic! We liked it so well that we're already planning a stop here on our next trip up I-95 in July. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very basic but quiet, safe, neat and good dependable utilities. But that's not the reason we'll return. The unusually pleasant gentleman who owns and runs this little park makes being here a pleasure. BTW, he also sells propane right there at a very fair price. We camped here in a Motorhome.
If you are looking for a quiet place to stay for a night or a week with full hookups but no pool--this is it. Owner on site and very helpful. We had a water leak inside our trailer when we hooked up and he was right there to help get it fixed on the spot! Easy access just a few miles off the interstate (far enough to be quiet and no truck noise). Old enough to have nice shade trees. Edisto river is nearby as well as the state park across the street (Colleton SP) and another state park, Givhans Ferry State Park, not far. Their WebSite is not interactive but has phone numbers, and if you call in advance they will have your site ready. If it is after dark he will generally have a lantern to guide you into your space. :) We will definitely be stopping here every January on our way to Florida for our usual two weeks of warmth. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Small park with nothing fancy. Just inexpensive, clean, and very convenient to I-95. There's a state park across the road -- a nice place to spend the day if you decide to stay awhile. The Schumans are lovely people. Highly recommended. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
