We have camped here for many years,we love the habitat and the fishing. We were very disappointed this past time because we were not allowed to fish off the dock. Other than that the stay is always very relaxing. We camped here in a Tent.

The Beach Campground section is close to the ocean. Can be extremely windy. The sites near the entrance have large dunes as a buffer from the wind. The sites are large but there are some low hanging trees to navigate. Dump station is not located in the campground. It can be crowded with very little room to wait in line without being on the main road. We ended up dumping at a Flying J. Overall a nice place, but found other SC state parks on the ocean we like better. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Overall a good experience. Most sites are not crowded. Showers and restrooms were clean. We were in the Beach Side campground. Watch for stray cats. Will stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Well run and maintained state park. Don't feel crowded on sites. Can walk to grocery store just across road to entrance for food and supplies. Plan to visit there again soon. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed in the "Live Oak" area of the campground, not in the oceanside sites. I expected to be eaten alive by mosquitos, but as long as we kept the "Deep Woods Off" applied, we experienced only a slight problem with bug bites. Don't bother with anything less than maximum strength, though; we ran out of "Deep Woods Off" on the second day and tried some of the "Skintastic" repellent, but that did absolutely nothing to stop the little vampire wannabes; we ended up buying some more of the napalm-strength stuff. Aside from the slight bug problem, the camp- ground is wonderful. The sites in the "Live Oak" area are big, nicely spaced, and have enough undergrowth between them to provide a good deal of privacy. The beachside area is a little more crowded. The cavernous bathhouses were bright and spacious on the "Live Oak" side, a little less so on the beach. Either area, though, is beautiful. Visit the website and you get a little idea of the natural aesthetics of the state park. Several trails are available. Don't go on foot. The mosquitos rise from the pine needles in a low, black cloud and make any walk uncomfortable. A bike is the best way to experience the trails without the bugs (just keep moving, avoid eye contact). We saw many marsh birds, crabs, dolphins, a sting-ray, a stray cat, and one lost mole. Palm trees, live oaks, and spanish moss everywhere; beautiful, beautiful place. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is one of our favorite parks. We've stayed there twice and are returning next May for a 3rd time. We like the sites that face the marsh, affording great sunsets and an ever-changing "cast" of birds. The beach is good for walking and swimming. There is a series of bike trails that criss-cross the island, which makes for good riding. There is a Ranger Program that we found both interesting and informative. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice sites overall, but some really tight turns. Playground equipment is pathetic and rusty and downright unsafe. Otherwise, would go back, as nice beace and nice campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground has 2 parts - a location directly on the beach, as well as another location about a mile down the road. The beach location can be very windy - tenters beware! The location inland is very shaded, very private sites, and has a brand new bath house. It's a short bike ride through the marshes to the beach. We witnessed turtles hatching during a ranger-led program one night. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Since many people love this place, I am going to get into to trouble for saying this, but I wasn’t too impressed. The campground fee was over $27 per night which included tax and a reservation fee. That is quite a lot for just water and electric in March. The dump station is several miles outside the campground down the main highway. Not a place to be towing a blue tote tank. The winter accumulation of trash, both natural and man-made, had not been picked up. The showers in the bath house needed a good paint job. The entrance road was too narrow for medium to large RVs. In fact, I chickened out half way through and switched over to the exit road, which had me going the wrong way on a one-way road. Once we made it to the loop at the far end of the campground, we found many large sites with the beach just over the dunes. In an effort to keep people off the dunes, some real ugly fence and rope have been erected. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This state park is our favorite place to camp. There is a front main campground and a secondary campground just up the road and not connected to the beach area. If is commonly referred to as the over flow area. It is shady and bugs are a bit worse there. Also almost no chance satilite with work there due to trees. Also the roadway in areas is very tight. The front park sites are great and there are now 30 sites that allow reservation (30-60). I actually liked it bettet without reservations. Slow paced retreat. If you don't get a reservation arrive very early or at night before gates open to get a good site. You will be glad you did. We have stayed here 20 or more times in the last five years. Always love it. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

One of our favorite places. We stayed two nights in Feb. I would think that during warmer weather bugs could be a problem since this place is surrounded by marshland. Maybe we will find out since we might go back in Sept. One other problem is they do not take reservations. You might want to call first like we did when we where on 95 and make sure they have a site before you drive the 50 miles to the island We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had a great time. Very nice location. The gnats were bad at times. The showers did not drain very well. Very easy access to beach and shade trees are nice. We would go again. We camped here in a camper.
