Buck Hall is located right along the Intercoastal Waterway with only about 17 sites as I recall. There is good spacing between sites and it’s located far enough from Hwy. 17 so as to be very quiet. We did not use the campground bathroom so don’t have an opinion. Unfortunately, it was very hot while we were there so didn’t get out too much due to the heat and bugs (mosquitoes and no-see-ums). The campground is heavily used by fishermen and locals.

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.
