Are there full hookups in this park or only electric?
Hi Lori,
There are 115 campsites with water and electric hookups at Edisto Beach State Park, but there are no sites with full hookups.
are there pull thru sites available for Travel trailer
Hi Leila,
There are no pull-thru campsites at Edisto Beach State Park campground.
Site 22 at the Beach Campground is a Pull Thru. It’s not listed as such, but it certainly is.
Thanks Becky,
We made the correction.
#8 is a pull through and 12 should be unless something has changed. There is also a pull through by the first bath house in the beach campground. Been coming there for 40 years.
Hi Gale,
Yes you are correct – sites 8 and 12 at Edisto Beach State Park are pull through sites. The campsite photos are correct.
Not a good and friendly experience..
Are there handicap tent sorted with electric? What proof is needed to use handicap site?
Also how far is the walk up sites at Live Oak? And can you use a camping hammock?
Hi Penny,
The accessible (ADA) campsites include 43 and 47 at Edisto Beach State Park. I’m not sure if there are ADA campsites at Live Oak (walk-to / tent-only camping).
While tent campers may use the sites with water and electrical hookups; Live Oak Campground has 5 (rustic) walk-to tent campsites and is located on the marsh side. The campsites have tent pads and potable water is also available. There’s also plenty of trees around and I don’t see any restrictions regarding hammock camping.
Do you have explanations for your “best” sites? Some I would never choose, but maybe you know something I don’t?
Hi Tricia,
Good question! Our photographer will jot down what he/she feels are the best campsites compared to the others in the campground. Usually they are picked based on location (away from restroom/trails, near water, with a view, etc.), privacy and size. The levelness of the site is also a consideration.
I was torn about this area of SC and campground when I got there…I wasn’t staying close to the beach. There was traffic noise from the road, and NOTHING to do down there…but I found I was less than a mile from the beach..they do have a beachfront area, but it is next to impossible to get anything there, but I could still go to the beach. I started looking for things to do. I drove to Charleston one day..only a one-hour drive. Another day I went to driftwood beach at Botany Bay Plantation and Reserve. I went to the Edisto Serpentarium, then went back to Botany Bay for a car tour of the area. I also drove to The Ernest F. Hollings ACE Basin National Wildlife Refuge. They are closed on Sunday, but they say you can still park and come in to walk. If you an into nature and walking this is the place for you. I didn’t think I would be going back to Edisto, but I am already making plans for next year.
Hi Sarah,
Thanks for your review of Edisto Beach State Park! Sounds like you were able to do/see quite a bit around the park.
