We stopped here for a week, on our way down to Florida for snowbird season. We absolutely loved the farm! They are super welcoming and helpful hosts! Spots were easy to pull in and out of, plenty of amenities, and the river and trails were all great! So peaceful, hearing the kids enjoying the property was a breath of fresh air! Definitely check out Black Pearl Farm! Close to Congaree National Park too!
Beautiful farm with spots for RV hookups, camping and even river access.
I love it and its very peaceful and quiet and Mike the owner will be there to help you with whatever you need. Tons of room to have more people show up and camp with you. Fire wood $10 and bring it in a reasonable time. Or while booking add it in and when you arrive it'll be there.

Mike was super responsive to any questions. We arrived after dark. Texted him an eta and he was here when we arrived to assist. Had water and 30amp hookup for $15. Made use of the sauna which was very nice after a long days drive. There is a sauna fee and let them know ahead of time if you want to use it so it can be ready and hot! The store is open and available with lots of choice items. See their website for details. Venmo&cashapp available to pay fees. Hope to have some fresh bread in the morning. Love to see the sun rise. Although it’s nice and dark at bright to enjoy the stars. We would definitely be back.
This farm is owned and run by a sweet couple, who work very hard to bring farm to home goodies. They grow lavender, blueberries and a few other things depending on the season. Their farm store is stocked with homemade all natural lavender essential oil, multipurpose cleaner, bug spray, sun screen, lavender tallow balm, lavender room spray, sourdough bread, and other things coming soon! If it’s not processed and packaged right here by the owners, it is locally sourced from trusted friends of the owners. The campsites are spacious and well maintained offering power and water hookup. They have a sauna, multiple lodging options and private access to the edisto river. Highly recommend!!! Support local!!!
Found through Harvest Hosts and wish we had more time here; unfortunately, it was a one-night stand on way north. Quiet, peaceful and totally relaxing. We were across from the store in site 4 with 30A and good water pressure and taste! Site is grass and mostly level, very easy in and out. One bar on ATT, T-Mobile and Verizon. WiFi available for $5 however our Starlink was more than sufficient. Bought some natural bug spray and a loaf of fresh sourdough. Great place and will adjust our next trip to hang out here for a few days!
We had such a great stay at Black Pearl Farms through Harvest Hosts! The property is beautiful — a 160-acre working farm with plenty to explore. We had the chance to meet the owner, who was incredibly welcoming and took time to show us different parts of the farm and share his future plans for the property. We also met some other wonderful Harvest Host families during our stay, which made the experience even more enjoyable. One of the highlights was being able to purchase fresh berries, tomatoes, sourdough, and honey right from the farm. Overall, this was a peaceful, unique, and memorable stop. We’re so glad we stayed and would definitely recommend Black Pearl Farms to other Harvest Hosts travelers!
What a beautiful place to camp and have a wonderful peaceful time. The hosts are amazing and will help you with whatever your needs or questions about the campsite are. The yurts are super comfortable and beautifully set up. We will be back! Also, if your just driving in the area -stop by to check out their farm and country store. Get fresh eggs, blueberries, honey etc... Great stop along your adventure.
One of the best farm camping experiences I’ve had to date. They have an amazing farm house open 24 hours to grab anything you need. The owners are responsive to any questions you have. They are kind and good people. There’s also an amazing wood fired sauna nestled into the trees that I wouldn’t pass up. Great place!
Whether you camp using Hipcamp, Harvest Hosts or a good old Atlas, be sure to look for Black Pearl Farms. Situated not far from 95 and 26, you'll feel like you're well or in the wilderness but can be back on the road within 30 minutes. With several RV sites, and more to come, a Yurt and soon to be 3 insulated geodesic dome cabins, you'll think you're in a high end camping resort. While really you're in the middle of a working berry farm. I stayed for a week in the winter so I didn't get to experience the farm in working order. But I can imagine looking out my window at rows and rows of blueberries and lavender. And just a mile or so down the country road is the upper Edisto River, ripe for kayaking and exploring. I can't say enough about the family running this place. They welcomed me on the road coming in, they checked on me during my stay. And they're building the place on their own. I appreciate hard work especially when it creates a place that's going to be a gem to visit, not that it isn't already! So, if your heading north or south, or even east or west, look for Black Pearl Farms in South Carolina. You'll be glad you did.
I can't say enough about how great Mike, Meghan, their family and their farm is. We stayed there as a harvest host on our way to Florida. Honestly, I liked being there better than Florida. Mike is an amazing host. Such great products and the blueberries made some wicked good pancakes! Our Florida vacation was cut short due to a family emergency, it took us all day to get the campsite picked up and packed. We messaged Mike and asked if we could stay again but we would be getting in late. He welcomed us back with open arms. Thanks to him we were able to make it home the next day. Again I can't say enough on how great they are and how awesome their place is. Will definitely be back.
