Vacations spent in the South Carolina foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains as well as those spent lounging by the Atlantic along the beach are all packed with fun but sometimes getting away from it all – literally – is the way to go. If you’re up for an adventure to remember, load up the kayak and paddle your way along the Lynches River in the Pee Dee region of the Palmetto State to find yourself camped out on a riverside platform complete with a screened-in enclosure to keep the pesky South Carolina mosquitoes at bay.
You may be surprised at the wild excursions you can find in South Carolina, but if you dig deep enough, you’ll find this one: a primitive campsite you can only get to by paddling a canoe or kayak to the landing.

Currently, for only $25 per night (total) for a group of up to six individuals, you can spend the night (or several nights) on this rustic riverside platform in a remote location on Lynches River.

The new digs include a screened-in enclosure to store your stuff and to escape mosquito-ville when the no-see-ums are relentlessly searching for blood.

A perfect shelter from storms, too, the screened-in enclosure has a front row seat to the water view.

It’s also only steps away from the kitchen (a fire pit) that’s just far enough away to keep the smoke out of the enclosure.

Imagine breakfast cooked over the fire while the lazy Lynches River moves slowly past. Or dinner by the fire as the sun sets.

For those looking for the perfect spot to get away from it all, this riverside camping platform is ideal.
TripAdvisor/management Those who need electricity or potable water will find it at a landing one-quarter mile upstream where those amenities are available to campers.
Of course, the adventure requires packing all of your essentials into the site by boat. It also means taking all of your trash with you when you leave. The owners follow a strict ‘leave no trace’ policy for this space. Please remember this is a primitive campsite. There are no facilities, no fresh water, and no electricity on this site.
