About
Givhans Ferry State Park sits on a bluff over the Edisto River, the closest state park with overnight facilities to downtown Charleston. It offers 25 full-service campsites with electric and water hookups plus 10 hike-in campsites for tents and hammocks (35 total), and 4 CCC-built riverside cabins (not counted in the total above).
Fees
South Carolina State Parks does not publish a static per-night camping rate on this park's own page - its Itinio reservation system (reserve.southcarolinaparks.com) uses live, date-based dynamic pricing. Check the reservation link for current rates. Pets are allowed on a leash (or other physical restraint) throughout South Carolina State Parks, including campgrounds, per the agency's statewide rules - though pets are not permitted in or around lodging facilities (cabins/villas/lodge rooms). (southcarolinaparks.com/rules-regulations, confirmed live.)
