Camp at the Farm.
A top-rated campground and working farm on 60+ acres of South Carolina Lowcountry — glamping, full-hookup RV sites, dark skies, and a herd of animals everyone knows by name.
Outside Inn isn’t a resort. It’s a family farm in Santee, South Carolina — sixty-three acres of Lowcountry, miles of fence line, and a barn that stays lit a little later than it should.
You can sleep in our glamping tent or pull your rig into a camp site under the tall pines. You can wake up to baby goats and fall asleep to crickets. You can also do absolutely nothing — that’s the point.
The full story →
Full hookup sites situated among tall pine trees. Each site is unique because we built it around the existing nature. We have back-in & pull-thru sites that can accommodate long towing setups up to 70 feet.
Designed for two, this thoughtfully styled canvas tent blends the adventure of camping with the comfort of a real bed and modern touches.
For the modern day camper who wants to enjoy nature but still have some comforts of home. Our renovated fifth wheel is stocked and ready for your arrival.
Simple, classic camping on grassy, shaded spots built around the trees and the open field. Each site has its own fire ring, water and power nearby, and the bathhouse a short walk away — just bring your tent.
Seasonal, and exactly as good as it sounds. The kids will lose their minds.
Free-range eggs from our 40+ hens. Help yourself, then crack them over the camp stove.
Loop through the pines straight from your site. Easy for all levels — more loops coming soon.
Some of the darkest skies in the region. Look up from the fire and you'll see the Milky Way.
Up-close, unhurried time with the animals for up to 10. $100 · 50% off for campers.

Cypress-edged Lake Marion, a half-day of kayaking, trails to the bluff overlook, and pontoon tours through the flooded cypress forest.
The biggest lake in South Carolina — legendary catfish and striped bass. Bring a rod or book a guided charter at the marina.
South Carolina's only national park — a flat 2.4-mile boardwalk through the largest old-growth cypress forest in the country. Free admission.
Boardwalks through blackwater swamp, the 1793 canal, near-guaranteed alligator sightings, and a small museum that's better than it sounds.
Rainbow Row, the city market, oysters at lunch. Drive back in time for sunset on the porch and the 6:30 feeding.
The capital city and the top-ranked Riverbanks Zoo & Garden — a genuinely great half-day if you've got kids.
No matter what you’re looking for in a campground, Outside Inn has it. Clair and Chris were the best hosts and our kids had a blast. Beware — a stay here may spark your farmer dreams!
Absolutely the most adorable camping experience. Being able to interact with the animals was amazing — we loved watching the feeding times and learning about all of them. We will be back!

New events, the occasional Fred update, first dibs on weekend openings, and a quiet heads-up when the firefly nights start. We don’t share your email. Promise.
The short version involves a wrong turn, a for-sale sign, and a herd of cattle we did not plan on.
Step one: lower your expectations of staying clean. Step two: enjoy the best ten minutes of your trip.
You don’t have to go far. Most nights, you just have to look up from the fire.
