Overview
A brief introduction to Hunting Island State Park
Hunting Island is a 5,000-acre (20 km2) secluded semitropical barrier island located 15 miles (24 km) east of Beaufort, South Carolina, United States in between Harbor Island and Fripp Island. Since 1935, it has been classified as a state park. It is the most-visited state park facility in South Carolina and is a part of the ACE Basin estuarine reserve area. Known for its natural environment, the island remains one of the few remaining undeveloped Sea Islands in the Lowcountry. The park is known for its 19th century lighthouse which bears its name. The park's beach has been featured in several travel publications and was listed in 2013 as a Top 25 beach in the United States by TripAdvisor.

Camper reviews for Hunting Island State Park
Hunting Island SC
Have wonderful memories growing up RV camping at Hunting Island. No more, beachfront camping is now primitive only or been left to return to nature as a storm buffer. I do not recommend camping in bug infested jungle area. The mosquitoes were the worst we ever experienced.
