Are you a hopeless stargazer? You may be wondering where you can camp overnight in South Carolina and get one of the best dark sky views around. Once such spot ranks high on the light pollution (or lack of it) color chart published by cleardarksky.com. In short, cleardarksky.com pulled locations in the Palmetto State and rated them based on light pollution. And one of the year-round campgrounds in South Carolina found at Edisto Beach State Park ranks high among the best places to view the night sky.
And what better place is there to spend your days on the beach and your nights stargazing than at Edisto Beach State Park?
The year-round RV park in South Carolina features 1.5 miles of undeveloped beach that fronts the more than 1200 acres that make up the park along the coast.
What's more, when you're ready to take a break from the sun and the surf, this park has four miles of ADA accessible trails.
Two campgrounds provide diverse ecological choices for overnight camping: either stay over at the beach campground or in the park's Live Oak Campground located on Big Bay Creek and Wadmalaw River.
Bring the whole family for a weekend or longer and plan to stay up on clear nights...
