RV rental Hillsdale Park, SC: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Magnolia Plantation and Gardens is a botanical garden that is open to the public year-round. The garden has attractions such as the family mansion that was built near Summerville before the American Revolution and then floated downstream to its present location after the Civil War. It also has a nature tram that starts from the main parking lot and takes you on a scenic tour of the plantation. On the tour, you will pass through forests, wetlands, and marshes, and past lakes, observing alligators, turtles, herons, and other resident wildlife. Head 30 minutes' drive northeast in the camper rental and spend some time exploring Francis Marion National Forest. It serves as a refuge for a wide variety of wildlife, including some endangered species such as the red-cockaded woodpecker. The landscape is a combination of ecosystems; swamps, marshes, and stands of pine trees and cypress trees can be found, offering diverse vistas and encouraging the varieties of wildlife. The park is a multi-use natural resource and trees are selectively logged to maintain the forest and provide local communities with raw timber. There are numerous activities you can enjoy here. Hiking and mountain biking, canoeing and kayaking, and nature and wildlife viewing are popular pastimes in the forest. Dungannon Plantation Heritage Preserve is a wildlife management area that provides refuge to wood storks, great egrets, great blue herons, and other bird species that reside here or pass through. It is also designated as an outdoor recreation area with hiking trails you can enjoy. It's a pet-friendly area to dogs on leashes and is open to the public year-round during daylight hours. There are no public facilities such as restrooms, but some of the trails are well marked; others are well-worn footpaths you can follow. Park your North Charleston camper near the preserve, and you can finish your outdoor excursions in comfort, enjoying the best of both worlds.
