We just went to Charleston a couple weeks ago. James Island County Park, right in Charleston, was phenomenal. We had a blast. During the summer months, there's a little water park right on site with a lazy river and such. We rented bikes and rode and rode and rode. There's an insanely incredible dog park right there, too, if you've got a dog.

Here's a video from our trip. The park is perfectly located so we were within minutes of downtown, the aquarium, Patriot's Point, the works. Loved it. If you go -- let me know what you think!

James Island County Park in Charleston:

Very clean and sites are nice. Lots of bike paths and playgrounds.

They have their own waterpark and campers get a large discount:

We stayed there last year and it was great! Going back again in August! It's also very close to Folly Beach.

We also stayed at Oak Plantation Campground in Charleston a few days before going to James Island. Nice campground but getting in and out was awful as traffic was constantly backed up and a 4 lane road runs in front of it.

polkadotsuitcase was posting the same time as me! Looks like we both loved James Island! (love the video BTW!)

It's already been said, but, we love James Island County Park! Waterpark just outside the gate, around 10 min. from the beach, shuttle service to Charleston, three nice bike trails, huge playground/fountain area for kids, paddle boats, fishing etc. Did I mention very friendly atmosphere!

I agree that James island is the best. we're going back for Tday this year to see the light display.

We tried to stay at James Island Park but they were booked up. But we did go by to check it out and it was really very nice. Excellent dog park there as well. Definitely next time!

Yes, that does happen a lot. James Isl. is hugely popular and stays booked. You have to reserve way in advance. It is worth it though!

Thank you for all of the suggestions. We will look into them if we decided to go.
