Camping in South Carolina (also known as “The Palmetto State”) offers comfortable year-round temperatures. South Carolina’s 47 state parks and over 3 million acres of beaches, mountains, forests, and lakes make for great hiking, canoeing, and fishing (saltwater and freshwater). Be sure to see the old-growth floodplain forest of Congaree National Park, family-friendly Myrtle Beach, charming and historic Charleston, and the scenic waterfalls and vistas of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Ready for a break? Edisto State Beach Park is so relaxed it’s nicknamed “Edi-slow”. As part of the beautiful ACE Basin, visitors appreciate the area’s undeveloped nature and tranquility. Set up camp, and take a walk on the park’s trails. Or, go beachcombing for seashells and fossils while the Atlantic’s waves roll in.
