Island Paradise
Woweeeeeee!!!
Oh my goodness!! Please don’t miss this amazing chance to dive into nature woods itchy on the coastal edge. I had an amazing week with my 3 dogs. And Larry was so kind and helpful. I cannot give enough praise for this camping experience.

Best stop on our trip!
Our stay was amazing! Larry was so kind and such a great host. He helped us figure out the best way to pull in and setup our camper on arrival, as well as provided great recommendations around the island! The property is amazing and so relaxing. We will most definitely be back!

Beautiful, private lakefront vacay!
Boy what a great time time we had at the lake! Idyllic setting, perfect weather, and the most hospitable host we could ask for. What a beautiful area of lake Murray! Thank you, Bingo! We will be back when able!

We absolutely loved our time at Larry’s Island Paradise! The good vibes started from the moment we booked this site on Hipcamp. He was super communicative and gave us clear directions. He met us upon arrival and offered his help getting us settled. The property itself is stunning. The sounds of the water and the birds are the perfect soundtrack for a relaxing time.
Getting to know Mr. Bingo was truly half the experience!! He’s a special one :) thank you again!!

Island Paradise
Island Paradise is exactly as described - a piece of heaven on the shore of Lake Murray, right on the water with the most amazing sunset views. Larry "Mr. Bingo" is a fantastic host. Larry made sure we knew the best way to pull in and park our camper, and had extra cinder blocks available to help level it - he even offered to help!
There is water and 30 amp power, perfect for our needs. The fire pit was cleaned out, and firewood was already stocked for us when we arrived. Larry has a dock with a table/chairs/umbrella, and is set up for fishing - just bring your tackle and bait. We caught catfish, bluegill, and perch. He also offered the use of a kayak and floats.
Larry checked in with us before he would leave to see if we needed anything when he went into town - we didn't take him up on it, but it was appreciated that he took the time to do that.
If you have a camper that automatically levels, you won't be concerned about the spot not being level. If you don't, just be aware that your normal leveling system may not be enough, and you may have to either jack up the camper and put blocks underneath or get creative with the cinderblocks. We also used the cinderblocks to build an extra step for the camper.
We absolutely loved Island Paradise, and are already planning another trip back. Thank you, Larry, for sharing it with us. We loved hearing about the history, and enjoyed talking with you very much. Looking forward to seeing you again!

Great to have power and water. Was more uneven ground then I would have liked. Thanks for the free wood, much appreciated.
