We are just off of 17N if you are coming from the Charleston Area look for the KOA Sign and Aldi's grocery store and turn right. If you are coming from the Myrtle Beach area - in order to turn into the campground you will have to cross Hwy 17 by turning left. For some campers it maybe easier to go down to the traffic light past Walmart, take a left at the light, then turn left after you pass by Walmart. Follow the road all the way to the stop sign and turn right. Sometimes the trees are a bit lower in this area (Mount Pleasant is in charge of cutting these trees) so if your rig is tall it might cause you some issues.

When the kids are away—or maybe you just need a quiet escape—there’s nothing more refreshing than a grown-up getaway to the Mount Pleasant / Charleston KOA. Whether you're an empty nester, traveling solo, or enjoying a couples’ retreat, fall and winter offer the perfect backdrop for relaxation, exploration, and a little bit of indulgence.
Camping without children gives you the freedom to slow down and truly unwind. There’s no schedule to follow but your own. Sip your coffee in total silence by the lake. Take a long bike ride through peaceful trails. Enjoy evenings by the fire without chasing anyone—or anything—around.
And with fewer crowds in the off-season, you’ll experience Charleston’s charm with more space and more calm.
Even when you're staying close to “home base,” there’s plenty to enjoy:
Lakefront serenity – Grab a book or a fishing pole and settle into the stillness.
Peaceful paddles – Rent a kayak and glide across the water, no splash wars in sight.
Cozy campfires – Roast marshmallows, sip wine, or just sit in silence and soak it all in.
Scenic walks – Take a morning stroll beneath golden leaves or a moonlit wander around the campground.
Deluxe Cabins offer all the comforts of home—perfect for a weekend getaway with your partner or best friend. Rustic Cabins are a cozy step up from tent camping, and RV sites give you your own rolling retreat.
You’re just minutes from some of the Lowcountry’s best adult-friendly destinations. A few ideas:
Winery tours at Deep Water Vineyard
Craft beer at Ghost Monkey Brewery or Westbrook Brewing Co.
Seafood dining along Shem Creek (sunset views, oysters, and cocktails included)
Boone Hall Plantation – Explore the historic grounds and seasonal markets
Downtown Charleston – Wander King Street’s boutiques, antique shops, and galleries
Patriots Point – Step aboard the USS Yorktown and immerse yourself in naval history
Folly Beach or Isle of Palms – Peaceful beaches and long shoreline walks
Hiking and wildlife watching in Francis Marion National Forest
Golfing at Patriots Point Links or other nearby courses
Fall brings crisp mornings, golden foliage, and the perfect campfire weather. Winter offers peaceful solitude and mild coastal temps—ideal for exploring without the heat or crowds. Bonus: it’s easier to book your favorite cabin or site.
Skip the hotel. Forget the guest room shuffle. Whether you’re planning a holiday escape, a romantic New Year’s trip, or just a much-needed reset, KOA Mount Pleasant / Charleston is a welcoming, peaceful home base.
