I have lived in Charleston area for over 30yrs and have visited all Plantation in the area… Hampton Plantation is my favorite… It’s a little out of the way but well worth the trip.. one of the oldest plantation in SC and owned by the same family until it was gifted to the state of SC.. Make sure you take the tour of the home. Our guide was fabulous.

The ranger was friendly and helpful. Lots of historical info at visitor center. Mosquitos were hungry.

Beautiful home but you have to pay for a tour to go in. Yet like so many forest service properties the structures are in poor condition and repairs are usually done poorly. Majestic home but not being given the care it deserves. The grounds maintenance is great and the trails and lawns look nice. Worth the stop but plan ahead if you want a tour.

Is there camping at this state park? I tent camp a bit and do go further down to the Francis Marion National Forest. But this would be closer and a new area to camp at.

John Haar | Sep 28, 2019

There is no camping at the park, but 1.7 miles down the road there is tent camping available at the Elmwood Recreational Area (via the National Forest).
