Camping by state
74 places to stay, each with its nearest town and where our information comes from.
Up in the far northwest corner near Tamassee, the Chattooga River runs wild and protected through the Sumter National Forest, and Cherry Hill Campground sits in the cool woods nearby. It's a different state from the beaches, quieter and greener, with waterfalls a short hike from the road.
Most of South Carolina's listings are RV parks, and they follow the coast and the interstates. Myrtle Beach has big campgrounds near the sand, Hilton Head has a motorcoach resort for big rigs, and Lake Greenwood near Cross Hill has lakeside parks. Around Greenville and Spartanburg, RV parks near Taylors and Duncan are easy stops off I-85.

Boondocking Score
Coming soon: nomads will rate how easy it is to find a free, tolerated place to sleep here. A score shows once at least five people have reported.
Strongest badge first, then by nearest town. The badge says where our information comes from. A badge is not permission to stay overnight.
1,417 places on the Road Wild map, from trailheads to laundromats.
A listing is a lead, not a promise. These are places we know about, not places we have confirmed you can sleep tonight. Rules, closures, seasons and fees change, and forest roads and passes close for snow. Check signs and local rules before you commit to a night somewhere, and tell us when something is wrong.
Maps, pins, photos, check-ins and reviews from nomads who stayed live in Road Wild. It's in private beta.
