Palmetto Trail
Anne O.

We are always looking for a local trail to get in some scenery. We came across Palmetto Trail and decided to check it out. Buck Hall Recreation Area is a beautiful place to picnic, kayak, boat, or camp. A day pass is $5.00 and seems to be an honor system, as a lot of the area parks are. Not sure of boat or camping fees. This place is not very crowded, seems to be off the beaten path, but gorgeous! The Palmetto Trail is 7 miles and is a one way path. We were looking for a 4 to 5 mile hike - so it meant hiking out, turning around, hiking back. The path is well maintained, and clearly marked. The scenery could have been so awesome had the path followed the water way instead of the woods, but we still had a wonderful morning feeding the mosquitoes....

Buck Hall Recreation Area in Francis Marion National Forest is adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway and near the Cape Rowain Wildlife Refuge and the Center for Birds of Prey. This is a nice place to stay, the camp is clean and very scenic. Recreation.gov claims each site has 50amp power and no water hookups, but every site has 50amp & water. The sites are large and level, there are not too many trees in the RV parking area, so there are no issues with RV height. We will definitely stay here again in the future. This park requires a reservation, and the sites have been full up our entire stay, so book early. You can book a spot online @ recreation.gov or by calling 1-877-444-6777. The cost is $20 per night for RVs ($10/night with Golden Age Pass or Access Pass), and $15 per night for tent campers ($7.50/night with Golden Age Pass or Access Pass). The bathrooms are clean but the facilities are older and could use a facelift. There is one shower in the women's bathroom, and one shower in the men's room. The shower heads are not that great and are in need of repair. There is warm water, so if you are looking for a hot shower, you will not find it here, but the water is warm enough to be comfortable. All the site are pretty open to each other, if you plan to camp in a tent I would definitely recommend the tent only sites (they are closer to the water and have more trees for privacy. There are hiking trails nearby, a large boat launch (3 boats can launch at the same time), trailer parking for day use, a fishing pier and a very lovely panic area. There are many types of water fowl and all sorts of birds for bird watching.

We love Sea Breeze RV park. It's close to Holden Beach. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We…read morereally enjoyed our time at Sea Breeze RV Park near Holden Beach. It's only been open several years. The pool was clean and relaxing, and the staff made us feel very welcome. There are great amenities like a playground, volleyball and basketball courts, and even a dog park and fishing ponds. Very clean bathrooms/showers. It's a great place for families and anyone looking to relax and have fun. Highly recommend!

Super nice RV park. I'm going to go with "Likely nicer than 97% of the RV Resorts you will ever…read morestay at." The place is new, clean, super organized. Easy to pull through. It has one of the best designed traffic flows I have seen. You drive to the back, find your row, take a left and pull into your slot. Look on their web site if this doesn't make sense. It's super easy. Every site is a very flat concrete pad with plenty of room. All roads are asphalt and are in perfect condition. It's the easiest place to get into and out of that I have seen. They have all the expected connections at every site. No cable, but there are more than two dozen channels available via antenna. They pick up your trash. Super nice pool. Golf carts for rent. Places for kids and dogs. The grass is very nicely maintained. The place is secure with a real gate that they give you a card to open. Everything here is first rate. The staff was super nice. We got an Amazon delivery but we're off at Bald Head Island near closing time they called us about it and we said just leave it by the door... someone took the time to bring it to our site! While you are there, definitely take the ferry out to Bald Head Island. It's not far. I definitely recommend this place and honestly will say that it deserves more than five stars.

Our first experience traveling in an RV. Can't say I would do it again in the near future but…read moreCampgrounds at St. James Island is a wonderful spot. There are wooded spots and more manicured spots for RVs. They also have space for primitive camping, groups, and fully equipped cottages. The staff here is absolutely wonderful. Everyone is friendly and very helpful. F and I arrived late in Friday night, but there is a park ranger available after hours to let you in and guide you to your spot. The evenings are quiet after 10pm. It is family oriented and dog friendly too. We were more interested in getting into Charleston on Sunday and Uber picks up right by the general store all the time. This is really a lovely spot with lots to do.

Awesome campground, especially during the festival of lights! If you're there in the summer, the…read morewaterpark and splash area are open too. Lots of other activities for kids and adults - walking trails, disc golf course, climbing wall, nature course, dog park, fishing dock, and kayak/sup rentals. The campground is well kept and most sites are great. Beware of the ones that share a driveway if you're going it alone (50/51, 78/79, 124/125, etc). The campground map clearly denotes which ones have shared driveways. Also several sites have a sewer/water/electric hookup right on top of the neighboring site pretty much (119 to 118, for example). Those are not well marked on the map. Firewood at the store is hit or miss, so bring your own if you can. Each site does have a picnic table and fire ring, but the picnic tables are on the older side. Lots of trees all the way around, and there are a few interior sites with concrete pads. Bathhouse and showers are newly renovated and very nicely done. For the adventurous folks, there is also a primitive camping area for tenting on the other side of the overflow parking area behind the RV campground. These have raised tent pads, but no water and electric at the sites. There is also an adjacent group camping area frequently used by the boy scout troops. The campground store is very nice and I always end up spending money on trinkets and souvenirs. If you're going to the Festival of Lights, the shops are right across the street from the campground and very easy to walk to. This makes it super easy to buy ornaments before the shops get crowded and get train tickets before they sell out. 4 stars instead of 5 for just a few drawbacks. One, because football season is rough there. No cable, no TVs anywhere in the park to go watch the games, and digital antenna picks up only the most basic channels. The wi-fi at the campground store is good but only if you're standing in the store. Even a few RV spots away, you'll need a satellite with you to get your favorite football games. Also, some of the camping spots within our group needed a little TLC. The ash in the firepit from the previous guest was all the way up to the rim, leaving us to do the cleanup work. Campground staff was zooming around on their golf carts at way too fast speeds, making us nervous with our kids trying to ride their bikes. For the price we paid, it was very good but not great - a hard packed dirt spot with no cable/wi-fi and a sewer line at our neighboor's back door.

We started our journey from Florida and drove quite a long time and decided to stop at the Santee…read moreLake KOA journey for the night. Very friendly people very welcoming and the price wasn't very Bad either. They had very large spots available for us because we are very long, over 70 feet. There was a lot of construction going on as they are improving things and they are also building new cabins. They look completely awesome. The general store was closed due to remodeling, they had another spot that offered a few trinkets and supplies that you might need on your trip. The campground was very clean, but the one thing that really bothered us was the condition of the roads. Now I understand that may be part of the construction might redo the road later on. It was a little bumpy all in all It was a very nice KOA that's why we always like to stay at KOA's because they're clean friendly and has always something to do. It had a swimming pool and a hot tub. There was a dog park, place to play basketball playground, place to fish and also places that you can go to swim. I was really pleased when we could take your dogs to the beach and let them swim as well. Many people have done that but they respected the rules and cleaned up after their dogs. Was very restful and close to a lot so if you needed a store or other shopping right off our 95. If you haven't stayed here before Give them a try. The next time we come up we'll stop here again and see how the improvements have gone. Highly recommended. And I found someone who works there Lowe's to use the term, "cool beans " Super nice people!

This isn't one of the nicer looking KOAs I've seen. I kind of wonder why KOA lets it remain on…read moretheir list. The grounds are well used and worn, with a rustic appearance. The tree cover is all tall pines with few mossy oaks. The campground is set up so all the sites sit parallel to each other in rows perpendicular to the lake so only a few have actual lake views down by the water. The buildings are old and dated and the bathhouse desperately needs to be renovated and updated. They were clean, but really old and in poor condition. They do have a nice beach area and old fishing pier which are both nice use on the lake. The internet service is horrible. It is slow and drops out regularly. Don't count on it if you need connectivity for work. Fortunately I had my Starlink mini and was in a site with a clear view of the sky. I stayed two nights in mid September and it wasn't too crowded and the campground was quiet. I didn't notice I95 as much as some other reviews suggest. The staff is great and everyone is very friendly and helpful but I am sure I would not come back. There must be something better available on. The lake.

They make you pay in full up front and if you don't cancel more than 14 days out you lose half your money. So for 3 nights we lost over $150. Imagine if you book a week or more how much you would lose. Not worth it. How could we cancel in time with the Nor Easter as no one knew that far in advance. Worse yet is when we cancelled we asked them to pass our dissatisfaction on to the owners and they said this is the most common complaint and the owners DON'T CARE! Will never consider this campground again.
