RV Camping near Irmo, South Carolina

Great American RV Parks

In Irmo, South Carolina—a Lexington County community on the western edge of the Columbia metropolitan area and just minutes from the 50,000-acre expanse of Lake Murray—Great American RV Parks delivers full hookup RV sites with WiFi, laundry facilities, a playground, and a dog park in a clean, well-positioned park that gives Columbia-area visitors and long-term residents alike a practical and affordable base for exploring one of South Carolina's most beloved lakes and the capital city's extensive cultural and recreational amenities. For travelers on the I-26 corridor and those specifically targeting Lake Murray, the location in Irmo provides the logical gateway. Sites provide full hookup service with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer alongside WiFi connectivity that supports the remote work and streaming needs of the modern extended-stay RV community. A dog park gives pet-traveling guests a dedicated space to exercise their animals, the playground serves families with younger children, and laundry facilities support the practical housekeeping requirements of multi-day and weekly stays. The park's straightforward, well-maintained character reflects a clear focus on the fundamentals—reliable hookups, cleanliness, and convenient location—executed consistently in a Columbia suburb that provides immediate access to the metropolitan area's full range of amenities. Irmo sits at the western edge of Richland County where it meets Lexington County, in the gently rolling Piedmont landscape of the South Carolina midlands. The surrounding terrain reflects the region's character—a mosaic of suburban development, commercial corridors, and the reservoir landscape that Lake Murray's 650-mile shoreline creates through the communities of Irmo, Chapin, Lexington, and the broader Midlands region. Lake Murray's tributary creek systems and the Corps of Engineers management zone create a wildlife corridor of surprising richness immediately adjacent to the suburban development of the Columbia metropolitan fringe. Lake Murray, completed in 1930 as one of the first major hydroelectric projects in the American Southeast, has become the recreational centerpiece of the Midlands region—with bass fishing consistently ranked among the best in South Carolina, extensive marina infrastructure for boating and water skiing, and the Dreher Island State Park on a trio of islands connected to the mainland by causeway providing camping, hiking, and lake access in a natural setting. Columbia itself, 15 minutes east via I-26, offers the South Carolina State Museum, the University of South Carolina campus, the Congaree National Park visitor center, and the Vista neighborhood's restaurant and arts district. The Columbia metropolitan area operates year-round, and Great American RV Parks serves both the overnight I-26 corridor traveler and the extended-stay guest who wants Columbia access without city-center prices. Lake Murray's fishing calendar runs year-round with the spring bass spawn producing the highest activity, while summer brings the boating and water skiing that define the reservoir's recreational culture. Fall foliage on the Piedmont is modest but the comfortable temperatures of October and November make outdoor recreation genuinely pleasant. Reserve your site at Great American RV Parks and use Irmo's Lake Murray corridor position as the base for your Midlands South Carolina adventure.

Big Rig Friendly RV Resort

20 RV Sites

Big Rig Friendly RV Resort in West Columbia, South Carolina, offers 20 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 100 feet. A back-in buddy category joins a pull-through tier, with an outdoor pool, fitness center, playground, golf cart rentals, and pickleball. Twenty sites run in back-in buddy and pull-thru categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 100 feet. One hundred feet is the whole proposition and the name is not marketing — this is a purpose-designed, large-rig-capable resort with the site dimensions and accessible utility connections to match, which is genuinely scarce in the Southeast. The buddy category lets two rigs traveling together park side by side. A general store, laundry, restrooms, and RV storage handle the practical side. One thing to know: construction is underway at the resort, so ask about current conditions when you book. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with a fitness center, pavilion, playground, dog park, golf cart rentals, pickleball, and swimming filling the rest. A national park area is nearby. Pets are welcome. Lexington County sits just west of Columbia, which puts the state capital, the University of South Carolina, the Congaree River, and the Riverbanks Zoo all within a short drive. Congaree National Park's old-growth bottomland forest — the largest remaining in the Southeast — is close, and Lake Murray is minutes away for boating and fishing. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable Midlands conditions, with demand tracking Columbia's event and university calendar. Reserve ahead for game weekends.

Fireside RV Park

27 RV Sites

Fireside RV Park in Woodruff, SC, offers 27 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 60 feet. Sites come in three categories — premium 30/50-amp back-ins, premium 30/50-amp back-ins for short-term stays, and 30/50-amp pull-throughs for short-term stays — each carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi and a fire pit. ADA-accessible sites are available. Splitting the categories between long-stay and short-stay guests means overnighters aren't parked in the middle of the monthly section, which matters more than it sounds. Laundry, a pavilion, and creek frontage are on the property, and pets are welcome with a dog park and a playground. This is a clean, no-frills full-hookup park rather than a resort — the amenity list is short on purpose and the sites are the product. Woodruff sits in the rolling Piedmont of Spartanburg County, five minutes from downtown and within easy reach of Greenville, GSP International Airport, the Swamp Rabbit Trail, and a water park. Rates for nightly, weekly, and monthly stays are on the booking page. Ask which category fits your stay length when you book — it determines which section you'll be in.

The grounds are gated, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, a dump station, EV charging, and on-site dining. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. The amenity list belongs to the marina and resort around the sites, and it is deep: boat docks, a boat ramp, boat and kayak rentals, bike rentals, a fitness center, a recreation center with billiards, a barn, a playground, walking trails, and planned activities, with fishing, boating, paddling, hiking, biking, and birding. Golf and wine tasting are nearby, and the property hosts weddings. Eutawville sits on the northern shore of Lake Marion, South Carolina's largest lake, in the Lowcountry. Rates for the sites and the cabin are on the booking page. Two lakefront sites at a full marina — call and book as early as you can.

Iron City Campground

41 RV Sites

Iron City Campground in Blacksburg, South Carolina, offers 41 full-hookup RV sites across 40 wooded acres in the Appalachian foothills, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Buddy sites and pond pull-throughs join premium and standard categories, with an outdoor pool, fishing pond, and walking trails. Forty-one sites span buddy pull-thru/back-in, pond pull-through, premium back-in, standard back-in, and standard pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. The buddy sites suit two rigs traveling together, and the pond category puts you on the water. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a fishing pond, walking trails, hiking, playground, pavilion, and dog park filling the rest. Pets are welcome. Forty wooded acres gives families genuine roaming space, which is what regulars mention first. Cherokee County sits in the Blue Ridge foothills near the Broad River Greenway, with Kings Mountain National Military Park and Cowpens National Battlefield close, Charlotte about an hour east, and Greenville a similar drive southwest. I-85 runs just south, which makes this a comfortable stop as well as a destination. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable Upstate conditions, with summer drawing families to the pool and pond. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends.

Hill's Landing & RV Park

Hill's Landing & RV Park in Cross, South Carolina, offers full-hookup RV sites on a big-rig-friendly property between Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie, with a marina, boat ramp, boat docks, boat storage, and on-site fishing guides. A general store, laundry, and on-site dining serve anglers in Santee Cooper country. Full-hookup RV sites carry water, sewer, and electric on a layout sized for big rigs. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, firewood, and WiFi handle the practical side, with on-site dining for meals and boat storage for guests who leave a boat between trips. The marina is the property's center. A boat ramp and boat docks give direct access to the Santee Cooper system, and on-site fishing guides are available — a real advantage on water this large, where local knowledge separates a productive day from a long one. Fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and water sports all run from the property, with walking trails, hiking, biking, corn hole, and strong birding besides. Cross sits in Berkeley County on US-176 between Moncks Corner and Santee, on the isthmus between South Carolina's two largest lakes. Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie together cover 110,000 acres and form the most celebrated freshwater striped bass and catfish fishery in the American Southeast. A state park is nearby. Fishing season runs long in the Lowcountry, with spring striper runs and fall drawing the heaviest demand. Reserve ahead if you are booking around a guide trip.

Lake Moultrie RV Park & Marina

Lake Moultrie RV Park and Marina in Cross, South Carolina, is a waterfront camping destination under a lush tree canopy in Berkeley County — a campground with tiny home cabins and spacious RV sites on Lake Moultrie, the Santee Cooper reservoir that covers 60,000 acres of the South Carolina coastal plain between Charleston and Columbia in the most extensive freshwater impoundment in South Carolina. The park's marina access and the waterfront positioning under the tree canopy give guests the Lake Moultrie experience that the Santee Cooper Lakes system specifically provides — the combination of the freshwater fishing for striped bass, catfish, and crappie that Lake Moultrie sustains and the direct boat access that the on-site marina enables give fishing and boating guests the seamless water recreation that a lake-based marina campground specifically delivers. The lake's Berkeley County position makes it accessible for the Charleston weekend market. Three tiny home cabins with accommodation for up to four guests alongside spacious RV sites give Lake Moultrie RV Park the complete accommodation range for varied visitor groups — the tiny home cabin format gives the couple or small family without camping equipment the lake cabin experience at a scale and price point that full-service resort cabins rarely provide, and the RV sites' spacious layout gives larger rigs the comfortable setup access that tight campground designs consistently limit. The waterfront tree canopy gives the campground its natural shade and visual character through the warm-season camping months. Pets are welcome. Lake Moultrie, the western reservoir of the Santee Cooper hydroelectric project completed in 1941 in Berkeley, Dorchester, and Orangeburg Counties, covers 60,000 acres of the coastal plain's pine flatwoods and was created by diking a natural drainage basin rather than damming a river — a construction method that gave Lake Moultrie its characteristic shallow, flat-bottomed character and the extensive flooded timber structure that sustains the striped bass and catfish populations that make it one of the most productive striped bass lakes in the South Atlantic coastal states. The lake's rediversion canal connecting Lake Marion to the north gives the Santee Cooper system its flow from the Santee River basin. The Francis Marion National Forest, east of Lake Moultrie in Berkeley and Charleston Counties, protects 258,000 acres of South Carolina Lowcountry longleaf pine savanna and blackwater river swamp that the Francis Marion unit of the national forest system has sustained since 1936 in the most extensive public land block in the South Carolina coastal plain. The forest's Palmetto Trail, the blackwater paddling of the Wambaw Creek Wilderness, and the winter red-cockaded woodpecker population give the Francis Marion its specific natural character distinct from the developed Lowcountry of the Charleston resort corridor immediately to the east. Lake Moultrie RV Park and Marina serves guests year-round in Berkeley County's subtropical coastal plain climate, where the spring striped bass run from March through May represents the most concentrated fishing demand on Lake Moultrie and the fall striped bass feeding season from September through November provides the second peak angling window. Charleston, 50 miles southeast of Cross on U.S. 176 and I-26, provides the Colonial-era historic district, the Boone Hall Plantation, and the Fort Sumter National Monument's harbor tour that extend the Berkeley County campground's day-trip range into the most historically significant and most architecturally complete port city in the antebellum South. Reserve sites and cabins ahead for the spring striper run and the Charleston-area spring and fall travel seasons.

Ted & Tracy's RV Campground

23 RV Sites, 12 Tent Sites, 1 Onsite RV/Trailer

Ted and Tracy's RV Campground in Washington, Georgia, offers 24 full-hookup back-in RV sites and 12 tent sites among mature trees on Upton Creek, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet. Creekside, camper van, and entrance-adjacent categories name exactly where each site sits, with a community fire pit and WiFi. Twenty-four back-in sites span 50-amp creekside, 50-amp camper van and small camper, and 50-amp closer to the entrance categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Naming a category by its position — creekside or near the road — is unusually candid and lets you choose with your eyes open, and the dedicated camper van tier right-sizes for smaller rigs rather than making them pay for space they cannot use. Twelve tent sites round out the lodging. A community fire pit fills the grounds, with the creek running alongside. The amenity set is deliberately spare, which keeps rates accessible at a newly designed property. Extended stays are welcome. Pets are welcome. Wilkes County sits in Georgia's Upper Piedmont, and Washington is one of the more genuinely historic small towns in the state — an antebellum downtown with more than a hundred structures on the National Register, the Robert Toombs House, and Kettle Creek Battlefield close by. Clarks Hill Lake and Elijah Clark State Park are a short drive east, with Augusta and Athens both within an hour. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable Piedmont conditions. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends, and ask about extended-stay rates.

Camping World Racing Resort

386 RV Sites

Camping World Racing Resort in Concord, North Carolina, offers 386 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 100 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout — the capacity that matters at a motorsports venue where coaches arrive with trailers. Back-in, pull-through, and small back-in categories sit at the epicenter of American racing. Three hundred eighty-six sites span back-in, back-end pull-through, pull-through, and small back-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 100 feet, with picnic tables. The small back-in category is a useful option for compact rigs that would otherwise pay for space they do not need. A laundry, dump station, propane exchange, restrooms, showers, firewood, and WiFi handle the practical side. Shower and bath facilities are secured after hours — call the park for the access code if arriving late, Mon–Fri 9am–5pm or weekends. A recreation center, pavilion, playground, dog park, community fire pit, volleyball, and horseshoes fill the grounds, with planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. Charlotte Motor Speedway's 167,000-seat superspeedway is the draw, hosting the Coca-Cola 600, the Bank of America Roval 400, and the All-Star Race. The complex also holds zMAX Dragway and the racing museum and experience infrastructure that makes Cabarrus County the center of the sport. Race weekends drive everything here and book out far in advance at premium rates. Check the Speedway calendar before planning a stay.

Ash Grove Mountain Cabins and Camping

Ash Grove Mountain Cabins and Camping in Brevard, North Carolina, nestles into the hardwood forests of Transylvania County, offering both rustic log cabin accommodations and traditional tent camping in the southern Blue Ridge Mountains where western North Carolina's concentration of waterfalls, old-growth forest, and wilderness trails makes it one of the most biodiverse and scenically rewarding outdoor destinations in the eastern United States. The property's understated, forest-immersed character attracts guests who prioritize natural setting over resort infrastructure, and its location between two major public land units gives it an unusually strong position for serious trail users. Guests choose between fully appointed cabins suited to families and couples seeking shelter and privacy or established tent sites set beneath a canopy of tulip poplars, white oaks, and second-growth hemlocks recovering from woolly adelgid damage that reshaped the forest understory in recent decades. On-site walking trails wind through the property's wooded grounds, and communal fire pits provide evening gathering spaces that encourage the quiet, unhurried social culture that distinguishes campground stays from hotel travel. The overall atmosphere is deliberately low-key—cell signal is limited, evenings are genuinely dark, and the sounds are forest sounds. The landscape surrounding Brevard is defined by the layered ridges of Pisgah National Forest, a 512,000-acre protected wilderness that encompasses more than 600 miles of hiking trails, multiple designated wilderness areas, and some of the best trout streams and single-track mountain biking in the Southeast. Transylvania County receives over 80 inches of rain annually—among the highest precipitation totals in the eastern US—feeding more than 250 waterfalls within the county boundaries, a concentration so extraordinary that the county markets itself as the Land of Waterfalls. Black bears, white-tailed deer, wild turkey, and the occasional river otter inhabit the surrounding forest with a density that makes wildlife sightings a routine part of any extended stay. DuPont State Recreational Forest, just south of Brevard, protects the famous cascades used as filming locations for The Hunger Games—High Falls, Triple Falls, and Hooker Falls—all accessible from connected trail systems that allow visitors to link multiple waterfalls in a single outing without backtracking. The Blue Ridge Parkway's historic motor road runs along the ridge crests to the north, providing access to scenic overlooks, higher-elevation meadows, and the cultural heritage of Appalachian communities preserved along the route. Asheville's vibrant arts district, nationally recognized restaurant scene, craft brewery culture, and the Biltmore Estate's elaborate Victorian architecture are approximately 30 minutes northeast. Ash Grove operates from spring through late fall, with the summer waterfall season and October's hardwood foliage drawing the heaviest visitation. The property books steadily with hikers using it as a base for multi-day Pisgah Forest itineraries and families returning annually for cabin stays during Brevard's Music Center summer festival season. For guests whose primary goal is deep immersion in the forest landscape of the southern Appalachians, Ash Grove's combination of genuine woodland setting and strategic location between Pisgah National Forest and DuPont State Recreational Forest makes it one of the better-positioned campgrounds in the region.

Oak Fern RV Park

4 RV Sites

Oak Fern RV Park in Fletcher, North Carolina, is a 55-plus community offering four full-hookup back-in RV sites across 3.5 acres, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. A single back-in category means every resident gets the same spec, in the French Broad River valley south of Asheville. Four back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. One consistent category and no guesswork about what you booked. The 55-plus designation sets the tone — this is a quiet residential community rather than a transient park, and at four sites you know your neighbors. Pets are welcome. One safety note the park provides: if you need to call 911 and time allows, notify the office as well so Fletcher Police and Fire can be directed to the right site. The amenity set is deliberately minimal, which keeps rates workable in an expensive corridor and suits guests who came for what surrounds the property. Henderson County sits at the southern edge of the Asheville metro, where the French Broad valley opens between the Blue Ridge and the Balsam Range. Sierra Nevada's Asheville campus is less than three miles away, downtown Asheville and the Biltmore Estate are 20 to 30 minutes north, Hendersonville's apple country and downtown are just south, and the Blue Ridge Parkway is close. Fall foliage drives the sharpest demand around Asheville and fills the region. Reserve well ahead for October, with spring and summer considerably easier.

Mama Gertie's Hideaway Campground

18 RV Sites

Mama Gertie's Hideaway Campground in Swannanoa, North Carolina, offers 18 RV sites in the Swannanoa River valley east of Asheville, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 60 feet. Tiered categories including partial mountain view back-in sites join full-hookup and water-and-electric tiers, with a fitness center, library, recreation center, and on-site dining. Eighteen sites span Tier 1 back-in 30-amp, Tier 1 back-in water-and-electric 30-amp, Tier 1 pull-thru 30-amp, and Tier 3 partial mountain view back-in 30-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. One seasonal note: the premium mountaintop and mountain view sites are open April 1 through October 31 and closed the rest of the year — call 828-686-4258 for details. Cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. A fitness center, recreation center, library, community fire pit, pavilion, dog park, walking trails, biking, and on-site dining fill the grounds. Pets are welcome. Swannanoa sits in the Blue Ridge east of Asheville, where mountain character and small-community authenticity meet. Asheville's Biltmore Estate, River Arts District, and brewery scene are minutes west, with the Blue Ridge Parkway and Mount Mitchell close. Fall foliage drives the sharpest demand around Asheville. Reserve well ahead for October, and confirm mountain view site availability.
