James Island County Park

We stayed at James Island County Park from March 30 – April 13, 2025. We were in site 105, a spacious back-in site with full hook-ups, a picnic table and fire pit. The campground staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The campground offers full-service RV sites and plenty of amenities including a laundry facility, clean restrooms, showers, a dump station, a camp store with propane, ice, and firewood available for purchase. The park is pet friendly and has a dog park and plenty of open meadows to enjoy a walk with your pets. The park offers a great range of activities for all ages: miles of paved walking, biking & skating trails, saltwater fishing and crabbing areas, playground and picnic areas, Bicycle, kayak, pedal boat, and paddleboard rentals, a seasonal Splash Zone waterpark, outdoor climbing wall and adventure features, disc golf course, and wildlife viewing & peaceful lake areas to take in nature and watch the beautiful sunsets. There are plenty of nearby attractions to check out as well. We enjoyed exploring the history and culture in downtown Charleston, the USS Yorktown Aircraft museum, Rainbow row, and various restaurants in the area. If you are looking to stay in the Charleston area, this is a great place to stay.

This is indeed a gorgeous park with tons of great trails! Lots to do here. If you are camping however, expect LOTS of noise in the early morning. Around 7am here come carts of all types rushing in. Worst the time we were here they were removing some vegetation and plants from around the area, so a huge bulldozer, ground shaker, and lots of hollering persisted from 7am til about noon mid week. I can understand this is the off season, but man can't we start around 8am?? This was pretty consistent with all the zooming golf carts all week, hollering between them. Bathrooms are clean and in decent shape I will say that. Need to explore some more when we have more time. Maybe it was just a busy week?

We had a perfect stay, no complaints! Showers were modern & clean, the laundry was outside under a porch but had rocking chairs & a swing to enjoy. It's was really quiet at night!

This is our favorite campground. We just got home today after a nice 9 nights camping there. The staff are so friendly. The sites are good size. The bicycle/walking trails are great! Wildlife abounds! Raccoons, squirrels, various birds, jumping fish and alligators of all size. Wooden swings located throughout the trails with scenic views. Paddle boats, paddle boards and canoes to rent. Water park in the summer. Dog park where dogs can run free and chase balls in the water. Fishing is available in lake and water ways. Bingo, ice cream night and more. Full hookups and close to lots of stuff in Charleston. Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved spending the week of 4th of July at James Island County Park. We tent camped (it was HOT), but we had fans made it work. The park was very clean and the staff were very friendly. We loved the water park and splash zone. It was a great way to beat the heat. The dog park is huge and they always have different events going on. I only wish we lived closer!
