Hill's Landing & RV Park

Hill's Landing & RV Park in Cross, South Carolina, offers full-hookup RV sites on a big-rig-friendly property between Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie, with a marina, boat ramp, boat docks, boat storage, and on-site fishing guides. A general store, laundry, and on-site dining serve anglers in Santee Cooper country. Full-hookup RV sites carry water, sewer, and electric on a layout sized for big rigs. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, firewood, and WiFi handle the practical side, with on-site dining for meals and boat storage for guests who leave a boat between trips. The marina is the property's center. A boat ramp and boat docks give direct access to the Santee Cooper system, and on-site fishing guides are available — a real advantage on water this large, where local knowledge separates a productive day from a long one. Fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and water sports all run from the property, with walking trails, hiking, biking, corn hole, and strong birding besides. Cross sits in Berkeley County on US-176 between Moncks Corner and Santee, on the isthmus between South Carolina's two largest lakes. Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie together cover 110,000 acres and form the most celebrated freshwater striped bass and catfish fishery in the American Southeast. A state park is nearby. Fishing season runs long in the Lowcountry, with spring striper runs and fall drawing the heaviest demand. Reserve ahead if you are booking around a guide trip.

Lake Moultrie RV Park & Marina

Lake Moultrie RV Park and Marina in Cross, South Carolina, is a waterfront camping destination under a lush tree canopy in Berkeley County — a campground with tiny home cabins and spacious RV sites on Lake Moultrie, the Santee Cooper reservoir that covers 60,000 acres of the South Carolina coastal plain between Charleston and Columbia in the most extensive freshwater impoundment in South Carolina. The park's marina access and the waterfront positioning under the tree canopy give guests the Lake Moultrie experience that the Santee Cooper Lakes system specifically provides — the combination of the freshwater fishing for striped bass, catfish, and crappie that Lake Moultrie sustains and the direct boat access that the on-site marina enables give fishing and boating guests the seamless water recreation that a lake-based marina campground specifically delivers. The lake's Berkeley County position makes it accessible for the Charleston weekend market. Three tiny home cabins with accommodation for up to four guests alongside spacious RV sites give Lake Moultrie RV Park the complete accommodation range for varied visitor groups — the tiny home cabin format gives the couple or small family without camping equipment the lake cabin experience at a scale and price point that full-service resort cabins rarely provide, and the RV sites' spacious layout gives larger rigs the comfortable setup access that tight campground designs consistently limit. The waterfront tree canopy gives the campground its natural shade and visual character through the warm-season camping months. Pets are welcome. Lake Moultrie, the western reservoir of the Santee Cooper hydroelectric project completed in 1941 in Berkeley, Dorchester, and Orangeburg Counties, covers 60,000 acres of the coastal plain's pine flatwoods and was created by diking a natural drainage basin rather than damming a river — a construction method that gave Lake Moultrie its characteristic shallow, flat-bottomed character and the extensive flooded timber structure that sustains the striped bass and catfish populations that make it one of the most productive striped bass lakes in the South Atlantic coastal states. The lake's rediversion canal connecting Lake Marion to the north gives the Santee Cooper system its flow from the Santee River basin. The Francis Marion National Forest, east of Lake Moultrie in Berkeley and Charleston Counties, protects 258,000 acres of South Carolina Lowcountry longleaf pine savanna and blackwater river swamp that the Francis Marion unit of the national forest system has sustained since 1936 in the most extensive public land block in the South Carolina coastal plain. The forest's Palmetto Trail, the blackwater paddling of the Wambaw Creek Wilderness, and the winter red-cockaded woodpecker population give the Francis Marion its specific natural character distinct from the developed Lowcountry of the Charleston resort corridor immediately to the east. Lake Moultrie RV Park and Marina serves guests year-round in Berkeley County's subtropical coastal plain climate, where the spring striped bass run from March through May represents the most concentrated fishing demand on Lake Moultrie and the fall striped bass feeding season from September through November provides the second peak angling window. Charleston, 50 miles southeast of Cross on U.S. 176 and I-26, provides the Colonial-era historic district, the Boone Hall Plantation, and the Fort Sumter National Monument's harbor tour that extend the Berkeley County campground's day-trip range into the most historically significant and most architecturally complete port city in the antebellum South. Reserve sites and cabins ahead for the spring striper run and the Charleston-area spring and fall travel seasons.

Hideaway RV Resort - Myrtle Beach

105 RV Sites, 4 Tent Sites

Hideaway RV Resort in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, offers 105 full-hookup RV sites and four tent sites on the Intracoastal Waterway, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 68 feet. A waterfront pull-through category joins standard back-in and pull-through tiers, with boat docks, a private launch, fishing pier, and kayak rentals. One hundred five sites run in back-in, pull-thru, and waterfront pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 68 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Sixty-eight feet accommodates a long coach with a tow. The waterfront pull-through is the one to request. Four tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, RV storage, and boat storage handle the practical side. Boat docks, a boat ramp, boat rentals, kayak rentals, and a fishing pier open the waterway for boating, paddle boats, canoeing, kayaking, water sports, and fishing. An outdoor pool, recreation center, pavilion, walking trails, pond, playground, and dog park fill the rest, with planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. The Intracoastal setting is the distinguishing feature in a corridor where most properties face the highway. The Grand Strand's famously wide Atlantic beaches are a short drive, while the waterway's calm tidal water sits at your site — a combination that lets you keep a boat here and still be at the beach in minutes. Broadway at the Beach, Brookgreen Gardens, and the Myrtle Beach golf corridor are all close. Summer beach season drives the heaviest demand. Reserve well ahead for June through August, and for spring golf season.

Midpoint I95 RV Park

13 RV Sites

Midpoint I95 RV Park in Sellers, South Carolina, offers 13 full-hookup pull-through RV sites with water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp service, sized for rigs to 50 feet. Every site is pull-through, which is exactly what an overnight I-95 stop should be, and a pond with a fishing pier, dog park, and playground make it more than a parking lot. Thirteen pull-through sites carry full hookups with 30 and 50-amp, sized to 50 feet. Pulling through means no backing after a long driving day and no unhitching for a single night — the practical case for this park in a corridor where quality options are limited. Laundry is on site. Pets are welcome. The grounds do more than the site count suggests. A pond with a fishing pier gives guests somewhere to spend an evening, walking trails and hiking run the property, and a dog park and playground serve pets and families after hours in the vehicle. Gaga ball rounds out the recreation, and the beach is not far. Sellers sits in Dillon County just south of Latta, at roughly the midpoint of I-95's 360-mile run through South Carolina. That position — a few minutes off the highway but far enough for quiet — is the park's entire proposition for the Maine-to-Florida snowbird corridor, which gives South Carolina's I-95 campgrounds the most consistent year-round occupancy of any campground corridor in the eastern United States. The park operates year-round. The heaviest traffic follows the seasonal snowbird migration south in fall and north in spring. With 13 sites, arriving without a reservation during those windows is a gamble — book ahead.

Rates by site category are on the booking page. Summer on the Brunswick Islands books early.
