Charleston may get all the glory, but tucked along the South Carolina cost just 50 miles away, Edisto Beach State Park is definitely not one to be missed by any RVer. Offering more than a mile of seashell-laden oceanfront beaches, the park is also home to the longest network of ADA-accessible hiking and biking trails in the state of South Carolina, and is also one of the 16 parks in the state that was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
Visitors flock to Edisto Beach for, well, the beach, but also to hike, bike, and camp within its well-appointed and developed amenities. Within the park’s 1,200 or so acres, there are two oceanfront picnic shelters, seven saltmarsh cabins, and more than 100 campsites, many of which offer 50-amp electrical service.
No matter what’s drawing you to the Carolina coast, here’s what you need to know to enjoy an enviable trip!
