This Year-Round Campground In South Carolina Is One Of The State’s Most Incredible Dark Sky Parks

Are you a hopeless stargazer? You may be wondering where in South Carolina you can camp overnight and get one of the best dark sky views around. Once such spot ranks high on the light pollution (or lack of it) color chart published by cleardarksky.com. In short, cleardarksky.com pulled locations in the Palmetto State and rated them based on light pollution. And the year-round campground in South Carolina found at Edisto Beach State Park ranks high among the best places to view the night sky.

During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.

What's more, when you're ready to take a break from the sun and the surf, this park has four miles of ADA accessible trails.
Two campgrounds provide diverse ecological choices for overnight camping: either stay over at the beach campground or in the park's Live Oak Campground located on Big Bay Creek and Wadmalaw River.
