Great spot on the waterway. Nice large spots and a good boat ramp. Starting point for the Palmetto trail.

I was pleasantly surprised on how quaint the campground was upon arrival. I went to my site and an RV was already parked in the spot. I realized I had made a mistake and reserved the spot for the following night. I panicked and started searching for the host, none, they had an emergency and had to leave. I could not determine what spots were available and was on the verge of panic since it was an hour before sunset.
Along came a ranger, Miss Jo Wanda drove up and listened to me on what happened. She calmly said she could help me and next thing, I had a spot.
Relief. I’m too old to drive when it gets dark. I could not thank her enough and appreciate her kindness.
My doggies and I thank you.

Buck Hall was a physically beautiful place. The campsites were pretty level and spacious. Close to North Charleston and some beaches for day trips. McClellanville is a great little town to explore.
We did not use the showers or bathrooms as they were filthy. Our site had lots of small trash on it that l picked up. Only saw the camp host one time, then he packed up one late afternoon and left.
