Buck Hall Recreation Area and Boat Landing

Great campground! The camp host that is there during the fall months is amazing, if you chat with him he will happily provide you with all kinds of neat information about the area. The campground is scheduled for a major face lift, as of September the job has been submitted for bids, expected to begin sometime around the first of the year (2026).

So this is a multi-use recreation area focused on camping, boating, hiking and biking. The camping area appears to be fairly limited but there are bathroom facilities and parking. The bathrooms are minimally maintained and I would certainly recommend shower shoes. Parking is primarily centered around day users for the hiking trails (the loop is roughly 11 miles) which can also be used by mountain bikers. It's mostly single track and some areas of the trail are heavily rooted so keep in mind that all users need to cooperate and cyclists may need to dismount often when encountering hiking groups. The boat launch has a good number of parking spots and accommodates more than one boat at a time.

This review is for the of the Awendaw Passage leg of Palmetto Trail. Stunning views. Word of caution: be very careful on the first bit of boardwalk by the parking lot when it’s wet. It’s deceivingly slippery. If you’re on a bike, I’d probably skip that part and head around the corner to where the dirt trail starts back up the entrance an eighth mile or so.

Very spacious and decent RV camp sites. Fire pit and wooden picnic table at each RV space. Extremely pet friendly with lots of grassy areas to walk your dog. Verizon cell service works there perfectly. Boat ramp looked good. The bathrooms were disgusting, and the doors are always open due to according to their sign, they lock permanently.There is a shower available which was quite dirty, if you use it definetly bring shower shoes. When we stayed June 30th, in the womens bathroom there was only one usable toilet, the other stall was roped off for service needed. In a nutshell, if you are in an RV and you have a dog and DO NOT need a bathroom it is a good place to stay. If you have a boat it looks like a great boat ramp.

I cant speak for the camping but the waterway and grounds in general are beautiful! Loved my time here! ADD: Just visited again 5/10/22, the water is higher and the flowers are in bloom. Beautiful place and out of the hustle and bustle to camp! If nothing else visit the waterway and take a few pictures while passing by! If you have a boat great place to launch!
