Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
Lovely quiet camping spot right on Wambaw Creek - to the left of the boat ramp drive in to either of the two spots. Free. Call 1 (843) 336-3248 and they will email you a permit (we never managed to get hold of them and no-one bothered us). Or check the website to register. Great kayaking in cypress grove. There are gators but they are really wary. Sites are level. Lots of dead fall firewood. In early April - no bugs.
Late October into early November is peak time for leaf color change. Bugs are light to mild during this time of the year.
The clearing offers some views of the night sky for star gazing.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
We spent 2 very quiet and peaceful nights here. We have a 25’sprinter pulling a CRV. It’s 4 miles down the gravel road we had no trouble at all. We kayaked both days on the river and it was awesome. There are 2 level tent sites to the left of the boat launch. I am sure it might crowded in the warmer weather but off season it was perfect!
Report Check-InCame here around 645pm on 11/9/21 to see how star gazing looks for anyone wanting to camp here.
The area is tight for tent camping and if you block the boat ramp it’s a $100 fine, towing and/or jail time.
But you can tent and not block, just be aware.
