We love to camp there. But I am very dissapointed that the trail has been closed again....

Beware of electric hookup (50 amp may only have power on one leg) Fire pits rusted away and full of ash and trash. Camp ground is poorly maintained. Do not recommend for children, there is a lot of non camping drive through traffic.

Early November, weather nice, not too cold. Some bugs in the evening but bearable. Camp host was great, bathrooms and camp clean.

Our site was nice except the rusted out burn barrel that allowed embers to fall out. The loud partying going on all night, people shouting at each other to turn the music down, potential fights, and overall lack of anything resembling supervision will keep us from coming back. We are avid campers and I have never had such a bad experience. Will not return.

Buck Hall is a hidden gem in the Low Country. Bathroom facilities are dated, but otherwise a great spot close to Charleston.

Camp site was clean and well lain out. Campsite Parking was ok but would have been inadequate if all tent sites were being used especially if each campsite had 2 vehicles and a boat. Nice to be able to get a shower and restroom to use. We were thankful to have a nice campground to spend the night and get a good nights rest.
