Waxmyrtle Campground

The design of the site made it challenging to level, especially after a long day of travel. We did make it up to the bluffs in the morning, and watched a family of otters, much to our delight.

Campsites have privacy and are quiet.

Wax Myrtle was great! We love the campsites, very private and big. Also lots of great little trails and places to explore

Campsite was too small to actually use. Our one tent had to be pitched on the edge of the site and was still barely over a foot from the fire pit. There was no privacy whatsoever and the campers next to us were up till 2am blasting music and drinking. Which meant my kids and I barely got any sleep, camp host no where to be found. Bathrooms were dirty and had fecal covered toilet paper and urine all over floors. And our campsite also had garbage from previous campers and dirty toilet paper hung from a tree. We were extremely disappointed with our trip and experience.

It's great. It's halfway between a Honeyman campground and a dune buggying campground in terms of style.

Private site was great, close to river, easy for kids.
Only drawback was no showers, however neighbouring campsite has pay showers you can visit.

I especially enjoyed meeting and talking with your Wildlife Host. The fact that she has been there at Waxmyrtle for over 5 years says a whole lot to me.

Most of the sites are small and should be advertised as shared sites. We were at site 38 and the adjoining site set-up their tent less than 5 ft from ours…

quiet, well spaced campsites with lots to do.

Bathrooms were clean and tent site was flat and soft. The site was cozy but not too small but lacked in privacy from neighbors. The site was full of trash which we didn't notice until the next morning, we woke up to flies buzzing around feeding on the garbage scattered everywhere. The campground overall seemed nice enough so it may have been campers before us leaving a mess. We normally like to wake up slow and grab coffee but we didn't have a real trash bag or gloves and didn't want to eat breakfast surrounded by trash and flies so we took off early.

This is likely not the fault of the host.. but when we got to our site after 10 PM someone else had set up camp. The entrance did state that the grounds were full but there weren't "reserved" tags so the couple assumed nobody was coming. Since it was so late and they had no where else to go we agreed to let them stay in the site as we aren't confrontational and felt uncomfortable telling them to leave. We didn't feel it was an emergency so we didn't bother the hosts, but I admit I lost some sleep worrying we would get fined for having an extra car/tent/people on the site with us.

We would consider camping here again although we will try to show up earlier and bring an extra trash bag/gloves to pick up the site in case it's dirty.
