Quick Overview

Hollywood, South Carolina sits perfectly positioned between Charleston's historic charm and the wild beauty of the ACE Basin, offering RV campers a sweet spot for exploring the Lowcountry. This small town gives you quick access to pristine beaches, championship golf courses, and some of the state's best fishing waters, all while avoiding the crowds and high prices of Charleston proper. The Spanish moss-draped landscapes and tidal creeks create that quintessential Southern coastal atmosphere RVers dream about.

The camping scene here includes several RV parks and campgrounds, with all facilities being paid options since there are some free camping spots available. Most parks cater to the full-hookup crowd with amenities like pools, clubhouses, and planned activities, though you'll also find more natural settings closer to the water. Several campgrounds specifically target the 55+ demographic, while others welcome families and working campers.

From your campsite, you're perfectly positioned to explore multiple worlds. Charleston's carriage tours and historic mansions are just 30 minutes northeast, while Kiawah Island's world-class beaches and golf courses lie 20 minutes southeast. The ACE Basin National Wildlife Refuge spreads out to the west, offering some of the best kayaking and wildlife viewing on the East Coast. Edisto Beach State Park provides excellent surf fishing and shell collecting, and the drive there takes you through scenic farmland and maritime forests.

Full-hookup RVers will appreciate the well-maintained facilities and resort-style amenities at most local parks. Those seeking a more natural experience should look toward campgrounds closer to the Edisto River or near state wildlife areas. Budget-conscious campers might consider the area's seasonal rates, which can vary significantly between peak summer months and the quieter shoulder seasons. Many parks offer monthly rates that attract snowbirds and workampers.

Spring and fall deliver the most comfortable weather for outdoor activities, with temperatures in the 70s and lower humidity. Summer brings heat and afternoon thunderstorms but also the best beach weather and fishing conditions. Winter stays surprisingly mild, making this area popular with RVers escaping northern cold snaps.

Our listings below cover everything from luxury resorts with championship golf access to family-friendly parks with boat ramps and fishing piers.

Traveling to Hollywood by RV

Highway 17 serves as your main artery into Hollywood, connecting directly to Charleston via the scenic Ashley River Road corridor. This route takes you past historic plantations and offers glimpses of the Ashley River through ancient live oaks. Coming from the south, Highway 17 continues from Beaufort and Savannah, providing a beautiful coastal drive through small Lowcountry towns.

I-95 travelers should exit at Highway 61 (Exit 57) and head southeast toward Adams Run, then connect to Highway 17 south. This route adds about 15 minutes but avoids Charleston traffic entirely. RVers pulling larger rigs will appreciate the wider shoulders and gentler curves compared to some of the more historic routes closer to Charleston.

Fuel up in Walterboro or Charleston before making the final push, as gas stations become sparse once you're deep in the Lowcountry. The Pilot Travel Center in Walterboro offers easy RV access and competitive diesel prices. For groceries and camping supplies, the Piggly Wiggly in nearby Ravenel provides everything you'll need without navigating into Charleston proper.

Watch for narrow bridges on some secondary roads, particularly if you're planning to explore toward Edisto Island. Highway 174 has weight restrictions that affect larger motorhomes. The main routes stay RV-friendly, but always check bridge heights before venturing onto scenic backroads. Cell service can get spotty in the more remote areas, so download offline maps before exploring.

Explore the Hollywood Area

For the best overall experience, target campgrounds with direct water access or boat ramps if you're into fishing or kayaking. The Edisto River and surrounding tidal creeks offer excellent redfish and trout fishing, plus you might spot dolphins, manatees, and various wading birds from your campsite.

Boondockers won't find free camping options in the immediate area, but Edisto Beach State Park about 30 minutes south offers more affordable rates with a natural setting. Some Walmart locations in the broader Charleston area allow overnight parking, though you'll want to call ahead to confirm current policies.

Don't miss the Angel Oak on Johns Island - this massive Southern live oak is estimated to be 400-500 years old and makes for incredible photos. The drive from Hollywood takes about 25 minutes through scenic Lowcountry landscapes. For fresh seafood, head to the docks in nearby Rockville where local shrimpers sell directly off their boats.

Bring bug spray, especially during summer months. The salt marshes breed mosquitoes and no-see-ums that can make evening outdoor time miserable without protection. Many campgrounds provide screened pavilions or clubhouses where you can escape the bugs while still enjoying the outdoors.

Pet owners should be aware that alligators inhabit local waterways. Keep dogs on leashes near any water source, and don't let them drink from ponds or creeks. Most campgrounds are pet-friendly but enforce leash rules strictly due to local wildlife concerns.
