About
Hunting Island State Park, South Carolina's single most-visited state park, features 5 miles of beach and the state's only publicly accessible lighthouse. It offers 102 standard campsites with 50-amp electric and water service plus 25 rustic tent sites (127 total); a two-night minimum stay applies to reservations. One cabin near the lighthouse is also offered but 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.)
