Best Campgrounds in the South

Hunting Island State Park, South Carolina

Camping beachside is pretty awesome, especially when you can wake up and enjoy the Atlantic Ocean in beautiful South Carolina. There are plenty of tent and RV spots with paved roads and hard-packed dirt sites at Hunting Island State Park. There are also two cabins available to rent if you want to do a little glamping.

Hunting Island participates in the Fishing Tackle Loaner Program where you can borrow up to four rods get your fishing fix – and who wouldn’t want to do that? I’m a huge fishing fan, so this was pretty good unexpected benefit for me. This campsite also has good hiking and biking trails where you can see the coastline and be nestled among the trees as you are getting your sweat on. Hunting Island State Park was easily one of my favorite campsites in South Carolina.
