RV Parks near Charleston, SC

Hey everyone,

We are looking for some RV park recommendations. My wife and I are looking to stay at least a few months in the Charleston, SC area. I would call the places myself but I’m traveling overseas extensively until September so my research is limited to google maps and email. We own a 2018 Montana 3810MS. I emailed the KOA and they said the weekly rate was $438 and they don’t offer monthly rates. Too steep for me. Here’s what I’m looking for:

-Within a 30 drive of downtown Charleston.
-Swimming pool
-less than $1000 per month lot rent
-50a full hookups
-long term stays allowed

Any help is greatly appreciated! I will be out of wifi and cellular service for the next week so I won’t be able to reply.

    I use the RVPARKY app to find campgrounds in an area. It gives all the information you need to contact them and find out. Only you can make that decision.

    If you are going to be there for 6 months or longer, try a mobile home park. The downsides are no bathhouse, you may have to put utilities (electric and possibly water) and provide for your own cable TV/internet. All of this requires a refundable deposit. None of these things were ever a "problem" for us. We always used our onboard bathroom. Getting our own utilities was typically a $100 deposit for each utility. We now have our own hotspot so that one is not necessary for TV/internet.

    There are two KOA’s in the Charleston area. Mount Pleasant is a great one. One near Summerville is a dump (IMO) but does have long term campers. James Island county park is great if you can get in. We’re going to Oak Plantation CG in a few weeks, never been there, nice pictures, decent reviews. .

    I stayed in a KOA in Ladson. It was a straight shot in to Charleston from there. It wasn't a 5 star spot though.

    Or son lives there. We always stay at Oak Plantation about. 15 minutes southwest on US 17. Long and short term full hookup
