Mount Pleasant / Charleston KOA

My husband and I stayed at this KOA after a bad experience at another KOA nearby. This facility was way better than the other KOA. It seemed as though they sprayed for bugs because we didn’t get eaten alive by pterodactyl size mosquitos which is a plus. We used the laundry mat which was convenient and they actually keep it clean. You can get lake side campsites which is kind of nice. We didn’t use the pool but it appeared to be very nice as well. Staff was very helpful and pleasant to deal with. All day trash pick up was a plus as well! My only drawback with this place is not all but most of the roads throughout the camp ground are gravel/​sand. The parking spots for the sites were also this sandy gravel. Not a huge deal but with two people and a dog we drug in a ton of sand even after using our doormat. Overall, if we were back in the area we would for sure stay again just bring a small vacuum next time. I’d say amongst the other reviews this place should at the very least be a four star rating it’s worth that in my opinion.

Very friendly place. Enjoyed the tour of the plantation. Staff was very helpful and pleasant to deal with.

The place is a little pricey.
They are very dog friendly and human friendly as well.
The spots are far enough from the neighbors to not be an issue and well kept.

Very nice, clean. Good for kids. Big tent sites on the water. Kitchen and hot showers. KOA’s are usually more expensive so it was $ 40/​night. Besides price, was satisfied.

Beware the third Saturday of April! We found out the hard way that they host a triathlon each year on that day. Me and my pregnant wife (7 months) were woken up at 5:30am by generator-​powered flood lights shining through one side of the tent, loud rock music, and a guy yelling over a loudspeaker. The next day we asked for a refund for the night and were told we could have $ 6 back. When we said we were insulted by that we were offered a refund for the entire weekend if we left immediately. Weird how that dialogue played out… manager never talked to us. She would have the Staff lady relay her words to us. Otherwise it’s a nice campground.

This is the worst KOA we’ve ever been to. It’s poorly laid out. The roads are very narrow. When someone is filling up with propane, they block the exit lane. Because of that RVs that are leaving have to wait along the road, blocking in people who want to pull in or out of their site. Sites, which are dirt, are narrow and you barely have room to park the car. Some SUVs and pickup trucks actually stick out into the already narrow road. The laundry is terrible. I didn’t check out the bathrooms. There’s a beautiful recreation room which they rarely use. It’s got padlocks on it. The only activity they had while we were there was a small Easter party for the children. No potluck for Easter. The only good things about this campground: The people are nice and the pool is beautiful. We will definitely never stay here again.

A quality KOA with lots of room between sites and in the park. No problems for big rigs here. Features a very large lake and all the usual campground bells and whistles. Would stay here again.

Have stayed here twice with husband and children. The second trip was better because we stayed in one of the higher-​end cabins with a bathroom. These cabins have concrete patios that help keep the ants away from your fire pit and cooking area. Our cabin fronted the lake, so we were treated to gorgeous sunsets every night and saw lots of wildlife — herons, seagulls, turtles (which my son and our neighbors’ son enjoyed feeding) and yes, a couple of small gators, named Bert and Ernie, according to the staff. They only came out at night, and didn’t venture too close to shore.
The cabin was comfy, with a queen bed and a set of bunk beds, as well as a mini fridge and microwave. The bathroom was tiny, but had a tub and shower and plenty of towel hooks.
The fire pit was inside a raised brick wall, which directed the heat upwards so you could actually enjoy sitting around a campfire on a warm summer night. It was also safe to have the kids around, because it was high enough that they couldn’t fall in.
The 1.5 mile nature trail followed part of the lake — it was shady and well-​maintained.
The staff was very friendly and courteous.
This campground is close to tons of activities — the beaches at Isle of Palms are only a 10 – 15 minute drive away; downtown Charleston is about 20 minutes away; and Patriots Point, with the Yorktown, is just up the road a bit.

We stayed here for three days in March and really enjoyed our stay. The RV park is pretty standard, full hookups, cable, and *gasp* WiFi that works! Our space was on the ‘B’ row and it was pretty quiet.
The laundry room was small, but adequate and clean. The playground was decent. The dog run was amazing, simply one of the best.
I have two complaints. The first is they don’t offer a weekly rate (normally one day free), the second is the daily rate is just expensive. We would have stayed for a whole week, but at $ 59 a day it just was not worth it to extend our stay.
Would I recommend this park? Absolutely. Would we come back? Yes.
Informational: We travel in a 36′ Class A RV.

Horrible showers. Swarms of bugs. Very noisy during POSTED quite hours. I wish I would have driven 15 more minutes to stay in the federal camp ground for $ 15 instead on $ 40 for this packed dump. Oh, and the 4ft deep pool was a classy touch.

Really nice KOA campground. We were on the lake and had a beautiful view. Near enough to Charleston that it was only a 10 minute ride. Very quiet and lovely sunsets every night.

Everything you would expect from a KOA — friendly staff, good facilities, nice sites.
The location is spectacular — just a few miles to Isle of Palms, but also lots to do right there on the grounds. I didn’t go, but there is a family fun center situated near the entrance with go carts. The lake has boats for rental.
Wifi was free and fast.

Great!!! We are RVers. Our vacations are in our travel trailer. We thought this place was wonderful. Wish y’all were closer to Texas. There are plenty of RV sites as well as tent and cabin camping available. The lake was wonderful. Bathrooms and shower were clean and the service was great. We I’ll return the the area some day and when we do we will come back here and stay alot longer.

KOA doesn’t offer the authentic camping experience – but I enjoyed our stay on what was a business trip more than anything. Our site was grassy with a palm tree, right on a large glistening lake. Absolutely a gorgeous setting, although we were nervous about alligators on the prowl. The bathrooms were tiled and clean. The kitchen has a stove and microwave. The game room has wifi. What more can you ask for? The extras were a little ridiculous, such as a kayak rental for $ 17, if I remember correctly. This KOA is right off the highway, convenient for trips to Sonic. Surprisingly, there wasn’t a lot of noise from the road keeping us up.
