We stayed 4 nights in July. The location is decent to tour Charleston and visit the beaches. There are other campsites closer to tourism but they were booked so we landed at Oak Plantation. The pictures posted of the campground are accurate so I am only posting pictures of the bath house and laundry. The campsites are tidy, level and not too small. Most sites have little or no shade. There is a mix of concrete pads and grass sites. The campground was quiet despite the proximity to busy roads. The laundry facility is $1.50 a wash load and 25 cents/ six minutes of the drier which is fair. The laundry facility was pretty dirty. The machines had a lot of dirt and grime in the change trays and the floors and walls had dirt, spider webs etc. The bath house was likely built in the 1960’s. There was barely enough room in front of me to close the door to a toilet stall and I am of average/small build. The toilets and shower stalls were generally clean. The edges of the floors along the walls etc looked like they had not been cleaned in months. The shower stalls were adequate size with a separate space to change clothes. The staff was not particularly friendly. They seem to be on the stricter side with rules. We asked for a shady site and did have a tree on one side but the door side of our unit was in straight sun. We arrived in the late afternoon so We didn’t realize the issue with the sun until we had set up so we didn’t ask to move. We did park our truck overnight at the empty site next to ours because they were open spots. They sought me out while doing laundry and said absolutely no parking at an open site. I told her we were only trying to keep the truck out of morning sun until leaving each day to tour. She said I know. You still can’t park there. Given the three spots next to us were unoccupied the entire time, I thought that was a bit harsh. We only have one pick up truck and a travel-trailer, so it wasn’t an issue of extra equipment. I would stay again but I would look for openings at other campsites first.

We had a great time in Charleston and enjoyed our stay at Oaks Plantation Campground. We chose this campground for the location/ It was in easy driving distance from Folly Beach, Magnolia Plantation and downtown Charleston/ the property is very pretty, mature trees, nice pool and clean restrooms. the campground is 60 years old and the area has grown up around it/ If you ask at the front they will give you directions to get to attractions in the area. You do not want to try to turn left the road in front of the property. However, the directions will take you right and then onto a parallel road that runs on the other side of the property. We stayed in row QQ near the back of the property/ Our spot had good afternoon shade. We hope to stay at this campground again.

I have stayed here many times and like it but they advertise WiFi which they have but it is never actually connected to the internet. I have been coming here since 2018 and keep hoping they will fix it but they haven’t. The cable TV also doesn’t work.

Great CG, with lots of sites and things to do. As you enter the park there is an Italian food truck that operates We’d thru Sat, has great food at reasonable price. The facilities have plenty of hot water and are clean. I asked about the rumor that they have boon sold & was told it has but won’t be final for a few years until Hwy 17 is complete.

We stayed at Oak Plantation for a week in early April. The park is clean and well laid out, and the spaces were nice and big. The spaciousness really spoiled us for a lot of other campgrounds. The only downside is the traffic, which of course, is no fault of the park. The proximity to Charleston was very good as was getting around to other areas. The roads in the park are paved and the landscaping is nice. It was pleasant to ride bikes around in the morning or evening, as the area, in general, is not really bike-friendly. There was constant park staff around cleaning, mowing, and trimming to keep everything well-maintained. Our site backed up to the tree line which was nice to sit outside. Overall we really liked our stay and will go again next time we're in the area.

We stayed at this campground for seven weeks because of business. The owner is off the rails psycho. I was shocked at how rude and obnoxious he was to me, he was downright mean. Another long-term guest said the same thing. The owner's sons run the day to day and they are not like the dad/owner but lack customer service skills. We need to stay in the area for another few months but we left and found something else. This might work for a one or two night stay, but just be warned! Oh, and the women's restroom smells moldy and awful.

We landed at Oak Plantation for an extended stay of 8 weeks, this place is absolutely wonderful. The staff is helpful and nice, and I do not have one bad thing to write about. The lots are huge and easy to park even the largest rigs, we have a 43’ 5th wheel and I easily backed it up and still had enough room for a center console boat and a vehicle. The bath houses are very clean, the campground is spotless and well maintained. Even the other campers are a delight to be around, plenty of room for kids to run and a dog park. The only downside to this park is pulling out on to the main road “lots of traffic” but not their fault! I would absolutely stay here every time I come to Charleston and highly recommend it to others. Close to countless restaurants and things to do, but off the beaten path enough to be relaxing.

These two young gentlemen were very accommodating to us old folks and made it easy for us to get settled in. In this crazy world it is nice to be treated so kindly. Thank you! I highly recommend this campground especially if they employ such goodd Dad guys!

Absolutely horrible wifi service, mediocre cable television. Campground is safe and clean. A lot of traffic but not far from downtown Charleston. Less than 30 minutes. Easy check in and try to request a site far from the garbage cans to avoid the noise and smell 😀.

I was concerned about our campground and made our reservation because the person who answered the phone sounded unfriendly and rude. But the young man who checked us in was very kind and friendly. Our campsite was private and beautiful. Only draw back was no campfire ring. We had a campfire in our weber cooker. They have a nice dog park with fresh water available. Signs to dog owners to be considerate, but there was poop left by rude dog owners. Perhaps it would be beneficial to have doggie bags available.

My memory says it's about 17 miles, but it's a straight drive on Hwy 17 into the Historic area. Transportation from the campground was NOT evident. Call the campground.
There are more places to choose from in the Charleston area.
