The best dog-friendly campgrounds in South Carolina

With miles of fantastic beaches plus nearly 50 state parks, South Carolina is a great place for getting outdoors, whether you're a human or a four-legged companion. Pets are welcome at tent and RV campgrounds across the state, and dogs are also allowed in state parks so long as they are kept on leashes six feet or shorter. A few state parks offer pet-friendly cabins—these include Dreher Island State Park on Lake Murray, Barnwell State Park, Santee State Park, Oconee State Park, Devils Fork State Park, and the particularly swanky Hickory Knob State Resort Park. If you want to go somewhere where your dog can run around, campers can also find privately run options for pet lovers, from quiet campgrounds on private farms to larger campgrounds and RV parks, which are often a bit more lenient on leash rules.

Weekend Trip to Flying “W” Farm

We wanted a quick, overnight getaway near home with our dogs and Will’s Flying W fit our needs perfectly. We bought fresh eggs and had a campfire. Water, electric and dumping all available. Fortunate for us—we were not in a rush to leave and the space was available through late morning to get to know Will & Mo (and their brand new puppy). This is a great spot to stop while you are traveling through.

Will is a good host. The RV sites are perfect for larger RVs. Easy in and out. Level sites and perfect hook ups. We have stayed several times and will be back again!

Weekend Trip to Flying “W” Farm

We made an impromptu stop on our way south and really lucked out- found a very comfortable spot. Pull through site, flat area with electricity! It was raining, so we didn’t want to unhook.. it worked out perfectly for us. The host Will was super helpful and responsive- I would definitely stay again!

Will’s RV spots are spacious and easy to negotiate. They sit back from the road, so are peaceful. We had bright stars among the pine trees while we were there. Would highly recommend!

Excellent host and very nice campground. The pull through site is very accommodating with full hookups and the route to the site is big rig friendly. The host, Will, is accommodating and very friendly. I would absolutely recommend this site and if we travel through south carolina again, we will definitely be staying here!

Will helped us out in a pinch, when another Hipcamper host canceled 45 minutes before our arrival. We are so grateful to him! Impressive property. Flat pull through, clean grounds; water/electricity/septic all work as they should. No trees to shade RV, but that did not affect our October stay. Lots of dew in the morning. We were the only campers there. Peaceful, though could hear planes & cars in the distance. Our 3 little dogs were able to be off leash (they never go far from us & we always clean up after them). Though there is WiFi, it did not come in well for us - could be our setup. Less than an hour from Bluffton & Beaufort. Area cuisine is seafood scrumptious. We would definitely revisit. Thank you, Will!

Will has a very nice set up for RVs to comfortably stay overnight. Most, if not all, of the sites have full hookups and can be driven around to pull straight into if you don’t want to back in to your site. He gives you the option to buy fresh eggs from his chickens as well. He was very friendly: a very interesting person and an amazing craftsman. He lives at the site. The area was nice and quiet at night. The driveway was easy to find with his good directions and was easy to pull into. The town of Ridgeland has a nice selection of places to eat and shop. Will’s site wasn’t far from I-95. We’d choose this location again the next time we travel up I-95 with our RV.

Campgrounds were small and personal but clean. Needing permission to use the pool confirms the campgrounds are on someone’s personal property. Owners are very friendly.

The site is lovely - swimming pool, lakes with gators and birds, eagles flying around, nice facilities. It’s pretty self contained 30 mins from Hilton Head Island one side and 20 mins to Savannah another. We had a great time

Weekend Trip to Savannah Lakes RV Resort

My family and I went RV camping at Savannah Lakes. The check-in was seamless and all staff were eager to help. The grounds were well maintained. The splash pad was a perfect spot for our 20 month old. If you go, look for the wood people on the pine trees.

Excellent location, minutes from I95, good directions provided, and easy to find. Will met us upon arrival and directed us to our site - a pull thru, perfectly level, with full services. Will was very welcoming, and responded immediately to any communications. I would highly recommend his property as an overnight stop, or for an extended stay.

Weekend Trip to Wonderland Garden

This is the spot! I hate to even recommend it because it'll get too popular. Easy getaway from Greenville but you feel like you're miles away. It has all the camping amenities needed (tables, chairs, fire pit, outhouse, flat space for tents or car camping) and is well maintained. Great view of Paris Mountain. Some noise at night from cars and neighboring dogs so bring ear plugs if you're sensitive to those. We're already planning our next trip here. Easy access to mountain biking and hiking trails and Saluda river is nearby too.

Beautiful new RV resort. Spacious and level spots. All the amenities you need. Beautiful lakes and surroundings. Easy drive into Savannah. Great customer service at checkin and when we had some power issues with the RV. Would definitely stay here again.
