Campground Review

Edisto Beach State Park is an amazing place, especially for families with younger children. We stayed in one of the cabins on a dirt road along a saltwater marsh. It is a lovely quiet spot. The cabins even have their own fishing/crabbing dock. The beach is only a mile or so away, and there are camping sites, though no cabins, just steps from the beach. The beach is famous for its shells and for the dolphins playing in the surf. There is a grocery store just outside the state park entrance, and while the store has just about anything you could need, the prices are pricey. The island is relatively undeveloped. There are lots of beautiful beach houses, not too many condos, and I don't think a single hotel. My kids, ages 5 and 7, had the time of their lives.

Edisto Campground - Scenic but no patrolledOctober 07, 2009By sc_cmpr
"Wife and I stayed there last year for 4 nights and it was great until the last night. A large tent full of women camped next to us and proceded to get drunk and loud. They also were more than just friends and didn't care what they did in public. The noise and lights continued until after 3:00 AM. This was next to the camp host and no ranger ever showed up. I was told the next day that the camp is fearful of ""discriminating"" against such groups for fear of being prejudice. That group ruined the area around their camp for everyone else camping. If this campground is afraid to enforce the rules for ""certain groups"" then I will not camp there again and the people I talked to that night won't either."
