With a mile of beach it has six cabins available to rent just several hundred yards from the beach, for those that enjoy camping there are 278 campsites nestled under the towering trees, 138 of them have full-hookups (water, electricity & sewer), there are also 30 designated, seasonal tent sites. There are 2 hiking trails available in the park, both the Sculptured Oak and Yaupon trails lead to the beach. There are 2 gift shops to do all your souvenir shopping or pick up last minute supplies for camping or fishing.

Each time it's different because they discuss what's happening on the river at the time you're there. This visit we've seen lots of alligators, including a baby, yellow, bellied slider turtles, lots of osprey, starting to raise their young and some beautiful plant life as well as the lore that goes with both the ICW, the rivers and all that goes on there. We always take visitors here. However, it's a place for locals to go over and over again. It's one of my favorite ways to relax and spend some time on the water. This visit we saw Peacock that must've been 8 feet long. He was magnificent. It would be a great place to or friends to show them a little appreciation!

We decided on the yellow and blue trail in waccamaw wildlife refuge. Reviews i had read from other sources stated that they had seen lots of wildlife over off this trail. The trail was pretty secluded and felt set back away from everything. There were so many trees! Absolutely loved it! We walked on a blanket of pine needles for a good chunk of the trail and then on a boardwalk for part of the trail. Saw lots of spider webs, some caterpillars, lots of lizards, some birds, and then a squirrel. The trail was quiet on a friday morning, we only saw a handful of people. It was a lovely stroll in nature and one of the highlights of the trip. It definitely made me want to come back to south carolina to come and explore with some friends and really go and see more of the beauty!

I believe there are a total of 3 trails. One around a lake, which contains all aqua Park with a children's play area and an automated wakeboard area. The children's area contains a huge inflatable playground. Wakeboarders are pulled via a cable and pulley type system. The other two trails are short (less than a mile each) that have been cut through the pre-existing forest. A really nice boardwalk was recently built through a swampy area. I rarely see more than 4-5 people using the trails (exercising) early mornings. The two dog parks (large and small) always have a few visitors each morning, but not over crowded by any means. The small dog park is not as busy, at least in the mornings. Several well maintained baseball, frisbee and lacrosse fields are available. From what I read they are used quotes bit from little league to college games. The park also host free concerts on Saturday evenings during the summer at its outdoor amphitheater. During the winter they host a festival/Christmas lights display Overall a great park. They do/host so much more (runs, awareness programs, even opportunities to meet/market local businesses). Check out their website for compete details and schedule. Now that I live closer, I plan to take advantage of some of their other offerings!

It is being held November 23-December 30 from 5:30-9:30 except on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Unfortunately, there was a dreadful crawl, one hour to be exact, to get through two traffic lights before reaching the park. The admittance fee is $20 per vehicle. The lights were pretty decent, the best one were the ones that were synced to music such as the trees. At the end, you have the option to exit the park or visit Santa's Village. My nieces wanted to do the latter. We purchased smores and hot chocolate which they enjoyed. There was also a toy shop, petting zoo, and Santa Express train ride. A fun and enjoyable experience for young children. If the park could better manage the bottleneck, it would make a more enjoyable experience for adults too.

Absolutely beautiful area and well worth the visit…read more We took a drive out to Conway yesterday. It's truly an Americana town with so much history dating as far back to the 1732 British settlement. We took a lovely stroll on the Riverwalk and soaked in the scenery. Saw many different types of boats coming thru on the water as the trailhead is right there. Boaters can even dock, do lunch or simply just walk around town. Few people were fishing, and many families were enjoying the fully fenced in playground. A local hot spot right on the edge of the riverwalk is a place called Chanti's Pizza, it's a popular local restaurant that caters to many homeowners, as well as great reviews by numerous visitors that come to town too! Would be a perfect place to dine if spending some time here and wanting to have lunch or dinner on the water. It's truly an iconic boardwalk trail (approximately 1.5-mile of a scenic pathway) along Waccamaw River that goes under the US-501 bridge and over some extremely old railroad tracks. Stunning views of the river and an abundance of Spanish moss draping the trees. Definitely a must do if you are near this community or while traveling on vacation just as we were.

Best of all, it's free. In October, definitely come back for the Halloween town when the trees are decorated with hanging pumpkins and there are spooky displays everywhere.

The lady on the phone said only do 2 weeks because if our house closes earlier we can't get a refund if we leave early. We checked in and asked to stay in the same spot and was told no so we had to move 14 days in. We moved to the other end of the park with a lot of open spots. Not sure I understand the move especially with all the open spots around our old one and new one. WiFi- HORRIBLE! Not sure if we have watched 1 show in 30 days without it buffering and pausing. Don't expect the wifi to hold if you have any work to do!!!! Mail/Amazon - they don't accept any deliveries. I understand that with this large of a park that's hiring a new person yet guests who stay for an extended period of time it would be nice to get something if needed. Security at front gate - some just wave you through and never look for the tag. Came in 3 times with tag on front seat and they waved me in. Printing / Community Computer - yes we are in a special situation and in need of something printed for closing. I asked if they could print off something for me and was no and to go down the street. C'mon, print something off and charge $.10 or $.25. Weekday speed traps - security sits on the road with a radar gun getting your speed. It's a little funny when it's 10MPH. Overall I still give our stay a 4 and yes I can only imagine this place is packed during the summer yet there are a few things that could change.
