From Charleston, take US Highway 17 north to McClellanville. At the intersection of SC Highway 45 (the yellow caution light) turn left, and drive eight miles to the camp.
Clean, great size, plenty of room. We had a great time camping beside the swamp. Decent amount of firewood kicking around to keep us warm that night. Very peaceful and secluded. Has a public "pit" toilet.
Drove by today looking at new spots and this place was full of people who had obviously been living there for awhile. One person had 4 large dog fences installed in one sight, due to the build up on the bottom of the fences it was easy to tell he was living there with several dogs.
8 marked campsites with tables and fire pits around a large loop. Quiet area, plenty of trees, plenty of room. Pit toilet on site. Bring your own water and firewood as the area gets picked over pretty well. Large area in the center could hold a number of tents as well.
Great place, traffic off in the distance, park on south side. Be sure you bring what you need 41 miles either direction to Wal-Mart its a pack it pack it out area. Pit bathroom kept very clean. Beware of the locals, no respect, for the beauty it was Dec and the leaves were falling like snow.
4/5 stars. You don’t want to camp by the watch tower. Looked like people had been staying there indefinitely.
Went down the side dirt road for about a mile and found another mini trail and camped away from people. Our spot was also a 4/5. Dirt bikes were riding by frequently and you could hear the gun shots from the shooting range a few miles away.
It was cold enough that we didn’t have to worry about ticks or bugs on us or the dogs.
We were able to park a full size truck in between the trees and pull a small Jeep Compass in as well.
