Excellent location next to intercoastal waterway. Right in the middle of what was the economic hub of our country in its early years. Close to Georgetown, Charleston and McClellanville there is plenty to keep you active. You’re also at in the heart of Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge. Consider visiting the Center for Birds of Prey Avian Conservation Center while in the area. If you love nature history or outdoor water activities you’ll be right at home camping here. So much to do and enjoy in this beautiful area.

Half a dozen sites are for tents along the shoreline, while the others are mainly for RV with water and electricity. Nice shade and sites are well spaced. My only complaint are the washrooms. Very bad shape and falling apart. Too bad because the site is nice and a reasonable distance to town.

Nice park, beautiful location. I camped there as a kid 55 years ago. Having said that, the bath rooms were very run down. The inexcusable part was that the host never cleaned the bathrooms the entire 5 days we were there. The rat droppings that were there when arrived were there when we left. It was so bad I wouldn't use the wash basins. That was totally unacceptable.

I loved the peaceful quietness of Buck Hall. Our campsite#2 was spacious and absolutely perfect. We enjoyed riding our bikes, watching the boats pass by as well as the deer and squirrels in the area, and exploring the local sites and amenities. We will be back soon. My husband says he has a new favorite campground there at Buck Hall.
