Buck Hall Recreation Area

Set against the backdrop of South Carolina's serene Intracoastal Waterway, Buck Hall Recreation Area combines picturesque coastal charm with convenient access to outdoor adventure, making it an idyllic destination for campers seeking a blend of marine and forest recreation. With 15 full-hookup RV sites and 5 tent-only sites, this compact campground offers essentials like drinking water, flush toilets, warm showers, picnic tables, and fire rings, all complemented by stunning views of the waterway and its vibrant marine activity.

Located just six miles southeast of McClellanville within the Francis Marion National Forest, the campground serves as a gateway to the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge, a sprawling 65,000-acre haven of tidal creeks, marshlands, and beaches. Whether boating, fishing for local favorites like flounder and sea trout, shrimp baiting at nearby Bulls Bay, or hiking and biking the Palmetto Trail's unpaved paths, outdoor enthusiasts have a wealth of activities to explore. Wildlife watchers might even spot alligators, migratory birds, or other coastal species.

Perfect for both short stops and weekend getaways, Buck Hall Recreation Area offers tranquility and natural beauty in a location steeped in history, yet easily accessible from Charleston (30 miles southwest) and other nearby towns. A boat ramp and floating docks enhance its appeal as a convenient base for waterborne adventures.
