The Great Outdoors
Shaw County Park is a little-known gem on the small island. Just two miles from the ferry landing, it includes 60 acres of beautiful woodland and shoreline. The park has the best public access to the waterfront, and it has fire rings and grills, a baseball diamond, and picnic areas. This is a great place to explore with your RV rental in Shaw Island as they have both day use and overnight camping areas available.
RV Parks
Although Shaw County Park does not have hookups, they do have reservable campsites that would be appropriate for small RVs. The park offers vault toilets, a group campsite, and seasonal water spigots--you will need to bring your own water if you come in the winter. If you’d like to camp with your motorhome rental in Shaw Island, this is the only publicly available campground.
Exploring the City
Tiny Shaw Island is perhaps best known for its nuns. Since 1977, Our Lady of the Rock Monastery has been operated by Benedictine nuns. The monastery is one of the island’s last working farms, and the nuns can frequently be seen milking cows, caring for their llamas and alpacas, or working in the vegetable garden. The nuns offer their hospitality and farm-to-table meals to travelers, in exchange for donations or work on the farm. This is a wonderful place to visit with your camper rental in Shaw Island, especially if you aren’t afraid to get your hands dirty!

Kevin was very easy to get hold of and answered all of my questions before booking as this was the first time I had rented an RV. The RV itself was extremely clean and comfortable and was very roomy when extended. It had everything in the RV so did not have to bring too much except ourselves and our clothes and food. We had a great experience and had 4 adults who had plenty of room. Highly recommend.

Working with Sameer was great. Sameer has a good knowledge of the area and made good suggestions for places to visit. If this is your first time, Sameer’s RV is the perfect size to explore the Island. It is a clean and well maintained vehicle.

Overall, my experience was positive. The host was very responsive and provided everything I needed, including firewood and a heater, which I really appreciated. The camper, however, is a bit older, so I had some trouble starting it one morning. Also, during heavy rain, the rear-right part of the roof leaked slightly, which made the lower sleeping area less comfortable.
