You can view all available nights, up to 12 months ahead, of any campsite that is showing unavailable for your selected dates. Unavailable campsites are shown on the map as gray icons.

South Carolina State Parks has a strict policy against subletting sites. This means that you cannot book a site and then sell or transfer it to someone else. The person who reserved the site must occupy the site. If we discover you have sublet a site, we will contact you and put you on notice that you have violated our policy and ask that any reference to a guaranteed date at a state park be removed from your advertisement within 24 hours. After you are on notice of the initial violation, any further breach of our policy will result in cancellation of bookings and the park will not accept future reservation requests.

Select Available Nights

To select nights for your camping reservation, click on an active check-in date for the desired campsite. Then select the last night of your stay. Your reservation will be highlighted and your check-out date is indicated on the next date.

Use the Calendar or links to change the date range of the list.

Select Multiple Campsites

Using this view, you can select more than one campsite, as well as multiple check-in and check-out dates, on the same reservation. This allows you to assemble a longer reservation from more than one campsite - helpful during the busy season. You can also reserve multiple sites for your group to accommodate varying arrivals or departures.

Consecutive Nights Required

You may select any number of campsites and dates as long as your reservation is no longer than 14 nights and all dates are consecutive or overlap.

Reserving campsites with separate date ranges, such as over two different weekends with unreserved dates in between, requires making separate reservations. You can complete one reservation and use the Make Another Reservation button in the confirmation stage to easily make additional reservations.
