Hanscombe Point Primitive camp ground

Hours: Hanscombe Point Primitive Campground is a peaceful 300-acre working farm located on Johns Island. The campground offers primitive camping by a saltwater creek, where visitors can enjoy watching wildlife, birds, and cows amble past their sites. The sites are set in the woods or near a large field, with some located close to the marsh, offering a quiet and scenic environment. The area is covered with tall trees draped in Spanish moss, creating a tranquil and natural atmosphere, especially at night when the sky is clear and stars are visible due to the lack of light pollution. This campsite is strictly primitive, with no electric hookups or water. Each site has a picnic table, and some have fire pits. There is a shared outhouse, but no showers. Firewood is available for purchase. Pets are not allowed, and visitors must make reservations in advance by calling to receive a gate code—drive-up reservations are not accepted. The roads leading to the campground can be muddy and bumpy, especially after rain, so it is not recommended for large RVs or those unfamiliar with dirt roads. The farm is a working operation with roaming farm animals and cow patties, adding to the rustic charm. Visitors appreciate the quiet, natural beauty, and the opportunity to disconnect and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Many note the importance of respecting the environment by leaving no trace. Overall, Hanscombe Point Primitive Campground offers a charming, unique experience for those seeking primitive camping in a scenic farm setting.
