Hanscombe Point Plantation is a 300 acre working farm that has been in the Legare family for 9 generations. We raise beef cows, heritage breeds of pigs, laying hens, and water buffalo.  Additionally, we raise vegetables and do a lot of agri-tourism including: summer camps, school field trips, and a large pumpkin patch maze each year. Our accommodations include a vintage camper, primitive campsites along a salt water creek, and an RV area on our farm. We are located just 30 minutes from nearby beaches and downtown Charleston. Use our property as your base of operation as you have fun at the beach or tour the historic city, or just stay for a quiet get away in the woods. There is also a lot of wildlife such as: wild turkeys, woodstorks, raccoons, and alligators.  Fishing and crabbing are available on the salt water creek next to the campsite as well. We look forward to hosting you!

Linda's campground offers a tranquil and scenic escape in a forested area, ideal for those seeking a primitive camping experience. Visitors appreciate the spacious campsites and the presence of friendly farm animals like cows and donkeys, which add to the charm of the setting. While the proximity to an airport means occasional plane noise, the overall atmosphere remains peaceful and relaxing. Some campers noted the need for clear communication regarding firewood availability and site usage etiquette, but overall, the campground is well-received for its natural beauty and convenience to nearby attractions.

No-Frills Fun
16 ft campervan ·
The campsite worked really well for us, and we would come back if we visit Charleston in the future. It’s close to a grocery store and gas station. The property itself feels very far away from civilization. If you want a no-frills camping experience, go here. The only tricky part was driving through it to get to the camping area. We have a 2WD campervan. The roads were drivable but better for a car or AWD. Signage was very clear.

Great experience and responsive host. Firewood bundles for purchase on site are huge and I was able to run my campfire for hours on two bundles. Only half an hour outside of Charleston for anyone wanting to enjoy the city and have a quiet night of camping afterwards. Highly recommend.

Good Campground Near Charleston!
Tent · Group trip ·
We enjoyed our stay at Hanscombe Point Campground! The campsites come with a picnic table and a fire pit (except no fires on site 4), and there is one outhouse in the middle of the campground. The road was a little bumpy, but our Nissan Altima was able to make it back to the campsites with some skill. There are some small flying bugs that bite if you camp close to the water, but bugs are only a minor problem and quickly go away if there is a campfire or wind. Most of the campsites are pretty close together, but there is still reasonable space between them. Overall, I think it is a great place to camp near Charleston and I would recommend it to any one interested in the area.

Great tent camping spot but I saw a few possums and raccoons nesting near the campsite. The road to get back there was very very holey and bumpy but that could be because of rain, other than that I loved it!
