Camp next to beautiful beach scenery at Hunting Island State Park's family-friendly camping area.

More than a million visitors a year are lured to the 5,000 acre park, once a hunting reserve. The park features thousands of acres of march and maritime forest, and five miles of beach. It has a salt water lagoon and an ocean inlet as well. It also has an old light house that is open to the public for a 2 dollar admission fee.

In the winter the park offers a quiet coastal retreat with tons of nature trails and beach walks. In the summer there is fishing, boating, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking etc. There is a 1,200 feet fishing pier that is known for it's shark fishing nearby in the Fripp inlet. In the Nature Center, visitors will find live animals and exhibits about the habitats that you can see in the park. Marsh Boardwalk is a must see for any photographers as well. Hunting Island is a must for any beach lovers/campers.

Just a very nice place to see. Be careful as the camping fills fast spring and fall. The ticks are very very bad here. The beach is awesome at night.

Boneyard Beach

There are a few different access trails throughout the park and all are equally impressive with scenery and ease of hike but starting from the Hunting Island Campground take the beach access near the campground store and you have miles of boneyard beaches, dunes and groves of palmetto trees littered throughout the hike. The beach is fairly flat and walkable except for the sections of boneyard t...

The main island is called Otter Island. When standing on the sound side of Edisto B...

Camping at Edisto Beach State Park

The campground sites have a picnic table and easy water access. Some ...

Walk the Nature Trail at the Pinckney Island Wildlife Refuge

This trail is located on the Pinckney Island Wildlife Refuge. The trail is very well marked and well maintained so it's easy to access. But, it also runs right along several marshes and swamps so the wildlife is incredible. While walking near Ibis Pond you'll see several types of birds. When you get near the lakes there will be alligators everywhere. The lush forest surrounding the trail and th...
