Getting Outdoors
In summer, the beach at Swartswood Lake is a fantastic place to soak up the Atlantic Coast sunshine. It's patrolled by lifeguards from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day and treats sunseekers to changing areas, restrooms, showers, and a concession stand. The lake is dotted with scenic picnic areas that are perfect for enjoying lunch or afternoon tea. In peak season, boats are available to rent from a lakeside stand. Enjoy a leisurely paddle in a rowboat or canoe, or explore deeper water with a kayak or aqua cat. You'll also see colorful sailboats dotting the lake.

Ingo and Heather were so awesome! They were so helpful from the get go and during our trip were very easy to get in touch with.

My family and I have been avid campers for several years, traditionally using tents — even this year with our newborn. However, we decided to try renting a camper for the first time, and after this experience, we can confidently say we won’t be going back to tent camping!

The trip was excellent, and our hosts were amazing! They provided so much ahead of time that we didn't even touch 3/4 of what we brought along. If something came up, they were incredibly responsive if help was needed. Absolutely would look to them again for the next time!
