RV rental Charles Pinckney National Historic Site, SC: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

After explorations at the Charles Pinckney National Historic Site are complete, there are several natural areas to check out nearby. Francis Marion National Forest is a multi-use natural space, combining outdoor recreation, nature and wildlife preserve, and resource management. In 1989, a large portion of the preserve was destroyed by Hurricane Hugo; the forest survived, and the trees that had been blown down were replaced by new growth. Visitors to the area can enjoy a variety of activities such as hiking, biking, and canoeing the rivers and streams that permeate the forest. ACE Basin National Wildlife Refuge provides food and shelter for wildlife species and recreation opportunities for the public. The refuge has a long history, starting as a collection of rice-growing plantations and later becoming hunting retreats when the rice industry declined. Fortunately, the plantations and hunting retreats protected the land and its resources. That's one reason why today the refuge is an undisturbed natural resource with fresh and saltwater marshes, bottomland hardwood tree stands, and much more. You can come here for hiking, nature and wildlife viewing, picnicking, photography, and much more. Hunting in season and fishing are still allowed on-site. Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge is a nature preserve and outdoor recreation area with a varied landscape that includes upland forest, tidal rice fields, and flood plains. Most of the upland forest is on Sandy Island, and the floodplains have extensive forested areas. Hikers, bird watchers, and photographers will find plenty to enjoy in this park. The refuge covers several different counties, so there is a lot to see; the Waccamaw, Great Pee Dee, and Little Pee Dee rivers flow through the park as well.
