MeEt YoUr CAMPGrOUND HoStS As part of the South Carolina “Volunteer in Parks” program, campground hosts live at state parks throughout the warmer months (sometimes year-round!), and they are happy to provide campers information and assistance during their stay. A true extension of the state park staff, hosts also fulfill a range of other duties, from performing ongoing maintenance and cleaning to staffing welcome stations and retail shops.

Santee State Park, Santee LAKESIDE CAMPING AT STATE PARKS South Carolina’s state parks offer the perfect in-between of roughing it in nature and enjoying some amenities such as nearby Wi-Fi, RV hookups and hot showers. Stay near the shoreline of Lake Murray at Dreher Island State Park in Prosperity, Lake Greenwood at Lake Greenwood State Park in Ninety Six and Lake Marion at Santee State Park in Santee. These are just a few of the lakeside camping options at state parks. Quick Tips KNOW BEFORE YOU GO For remote workers, internet access is everything. Thankfully, super-fast 5G networks mean you can turn your phone into a mobile hotspot offering plenty of data and speed for your workday. Free Wi-Fi is also available at many coffee shops, breweries and South Carolina Welcome Centers. And what about bathrooms? Gas stations, campgrounds, RV resorts and truck stops are all great options for “going” on the go. (Bonus: Many places also offer hot showers.)
