Best Camping near Charleston, South Carolina

Drive through Charleston’s palmetto-lined avenues to Folly Beach, where the surf is good and the coffee is free (and available 24/7 at Bert’s Market). Paddle through grass-lined tidal creeks and salt marshes to catch a glimpse of dolphins in their natural element. On John’s Island, stroll beneath the storied boughs of Angel Oak, a live oak tree that’s thought to be over 400 years old. Soak it all in. Your South Carolina camping trip has taken you from the mountains to the sea, so it seems fitting to say ‘adieu’ with your toes in the sand at Hunting Island State Park.
