Dreher Island Campground

South Carolina is packed to the brim with inspiring nature parks and recreation areas, making it a beloved camping destination throughout the year. Steps from your campsite, Dreher Island State Park is in the middle of the 50,000-acre lake. Hiking around the island, swimming in the lake, kayaking or canoeing, and, of course, fishing make up the bulk of the park’s activities. Lake Greenwood State Park is another fabulous option, found on the shores of nearby Lake Greenwood. Dating back to the days of the New Deal and built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, there is a collection of old buildings and landmarks on site along with fabulous lakeshores, swimming areas, beaches, playgrounds, and a small history museum. You can even camp overnight with your RV rental on the paved RV sites found beside Lake Greenwood. Sesquicentennial State Park is just outside of the state capital and was named and donated to the city of Columbia during its 150th birthday celebration and contains a myriad of nature trails carving through the dense pine forests. Campsites are available for tents and RVs, along with picnic shelters, lodges, and a retreat center for family reunions or large gatherings. With splash pads, a large lake for swimming or boating, a dog walking park, and a gift shop, this park is certainly one of the best in the region. The state’s lone national park isn’t far from Columbia or Dreher Island State Park, so don’t miss out on an opportunity to visit Congaree National Park when you book a motorhome rental near Prosperity, SC. This small national park is practically made for kayaking and canoeing, with hundreds of miles of tributaries, streams, and rivers to navigate. Hiking is also possible on a network of trails and boardwalks cutting through the wetlands and swamps of this enticing conservation area, and camping overnight is part of the fun too.
