My family loves camping at Buck Hall in our RV but they really need to invest some money in this gem!. There are only 14 spots so getting a reservation is difficult. There appears to be ample acreage to expand to double or triple the size and there is enough space between most of the sites to add another site without being crowded. The water connection on our site dispensed water loaded with sand. Luckily I had a filter that clogged up immediately keeping the sand out of my water system. The problem was solved by using a v valve and connection to my neighbors spigot. The Ranger said the pipes are old and this one probably had a hole in it. I also wish electric golf carts were allowed. Bath houses are ok but very old and not climate controlled. Sand gnats or no seeums will eat you alive during spring and fall seasons. The boat landing is good but the parking lot is small and overflows during peak periods - again there appears ample acreage to expand.

For the month of January, the weather was nice, little breezy, not terribly cold. Nice quiet place to relax and enjoy. Away from the crowds and just you and nature. Looking forward to going again.

Beautiful area, spacious, clean, great time of year. We spent Christmas thru New year and enjoyed the time. We rode bikes, walked our dogs and visited with neighbors. Will do it again!

This a a beautifully serene spot. We enjoyed spending almost two weeks there. Only drawback was having to move every few days to a new site as the reservation policy doesn’t guarantee you a site, it is site specific. This is one place that each and every site is perfect.

We try to get to Buck Hall once a year. 250 miles from home but worth the trip. Love riding our dual sport motorcycles on the forest roads in the Francis Marion Nat Forest.
