Top RV Shows in South Carolina
We’ve organized South Carolina’s top RV shows by region, so you can easily find events near you.
1. The Greenville RV Show
This camping show isn’t just the largest RV show of its kind in the state of South Carolina — it’s the only one!
Held annually in Greenville’s Convention Center, the Greenville RV Show is the perfect place to find your next vacation vehicle, whether you’re looking for a big, inclusive motorhome or a modest travel trailer. It’s the only event that hosts multiple South Carolina RV dealers all conveniently under one roof, which means it’s your best bet for finding the rig of your dreams… not to mention a great price on it, to boot!
Why You’ll Love the Greenville RV Show
With 60,000 square feet of exhibition space being fully utilized to its full extent, the Greenville RV Show really does offer something for everyone when it comes to RV camping. No matter what kinds of vehicles have sparked your interest, you’ll find several makes and models to choose from at the South Carolina RV and Camping motorhome show.
Each year, South Carolina’s most reliable dealers come together to bring you the latest Class A, Class B, and Class C motorhomes, as well as travel trailers ranging from lightweight models to heavy-duty fifth wheels, fit for a king (and a queen, and all their little princes and princesses). Along with the opportunity to experience all these different vehicles hands-on by walking through and exploring them, you’ll also benefit from the professional customer service and financing options provided by the dealers who represent each model, not to mention crazy-low show pricing.
But this RV camper show is a great way to spend a January weekend — even if you’re not on the market to buy a rig of your own just yet.
That’s because this travel trailer show also features a wide array of related outdoor vendors and exhibitors. Whether the Palmetto State’s marshy coastline is calling to you or you’d rather head west into the Appalachian foothills, the entire state is studded with fantastic family-owned campgrounds to make your trip easy, stress-free, and fun.
After all, camping is about so much more than driving to new destinations and exploring the great outdoors. It’s also about the people you share those experiences with. Finding a great family-run campground can be the key to creating camping memories that last a lifetime… and maybe even some new friendships that stand the test of time, too.
Greenville RV Show Information
The South Carolina RV and Camping Show takes place annually in Greenville, South Carolina, a city of about 67,000 inhabitants in the state’s northwestern corner. It’s an easy hour-and-a-half drive from the state capital of Columbia, and it’s also central and easily accessible to a variety of surrounding southern states, such as North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee.
Since you’re in town, you might as well make a getaway of it — and there’s plenty to see and do in the area! Grab the kids and head to the Greenville Zoo, home to a wide variety of well-cared-for wild animals, or maybe give the Roper Mountain Science Center a try for some educational fun. And if outdoor adventure is what you’re after, there’s no shortage of options. Greenville is home to several parks boasting excellent walking, hiking, and biking trails, such as Falls Park on the Reedy and Swamp Rabbit Trail, and you’re only a stone’s throw from the Chattahoochee and Nantahala National Forests!

2. The Palmetto Sportsmen’s Classic
To be fair, the Palmetto Sportsmen’s Classic isn’t exactly an RV show — it’s more concerned with all the fun stuff you do while you’re adventuring in your RV, such as hunting and fishing.
But it is a South Carolina event you don’t want to miss, particularly if you consider yourself outdoorsy… which, given your interest in RVs and camping, we’re going to assume you do!
From fascinating wildlife exhibits to the latest and greatest information and equipment for hunting, fishing, and camping, the Palmetto Sportsmen’s Classic is a great way to celebrate your outdoor hobbies and also come away with a bit more knowledge (and gear!) than you had when you walked in. And, of course, you’ll surely find at least one or two new like-minded friends while you wander the exhibition — and as you know, when it comes to a campfire, the more, the merrier!
Why You’ll Love the Palmetto Sportsmen’s Classic
Ready for some wild fun? The whole family will love spending a spring weekend at the Palmetto Sportsmen’s Classic, held annually at the state fairgrounds in Columbia.
This year’s show will feature an “extreme raptors show,” a “premium wildlife production” that will have you on the edge of your seat as eagles, hawks, falcons, and owls take flight! And if you’ve been hankering to get out on the water and reel in some delicious eats — or maybe just bragging rights — you’ll love having the opportunity to meet, greet, and pick the brains of professional fishermen like Keith Johnson and Joey Mines, who will be providing informative fishing demonstrations and seminars all weekend.
On top of the hands-on fun, you’ll, of course, get to meander through the large exhibition space, where purveyors of all sorts of outdoor equipment and adventure gear will be standing by to answer your questions and match you up with the latest and greatest camping, hunting, and fishing technology. And don’t forget to get your deer antlers scored while you’re at the expo; they’ll be marked down in record books dating back to 1906.
