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. read more
