Just minutes outside of Charleston, South Carolina, the city of Summerville may be just the spot to book an RV in Dorchester County. Frequently referred to as the “Flower Town in the Pines”, Summerville was first established as a summer getaway for Charleston residents seeking reprieve from seasonal insects and “Swamp Fever.” It was not officially a town until 1847 though, and has continued to be a great escape for those traveling to the region. Once you have arranged to pick up your Summerville RV rental, you have the option to check out the charm of the local buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places or enjoy the southern hospitality of the locals who own and operate a variety of shops and restaurants. While Summerville offers a number of opportunities to take advantage of, you are only minutes away from shopping, dining and award-winning beaches that Charleston has to offer.

The Great Outdoors

The beaches of Charleston are not the only place you can get some fresh air and enjoy the great outdoors when you rent an RV in Summerville, SC. In fact, South Carolina is home to several national and state parks.

Make a day trip less than two hours north to visit the Congaree National Park, which offers an abundance of opportunity to get out and enjoy nature. Hiking trails offer views that words can simply do no justice, including views of oxbow lakes, the Congaree River and large old-growth trees. There are also opportunities to fish, canoe, or kayak, and regularly scheduled ranger-led events are popular among park visitors as well.

Another great opportunity to nurture the nature enthusiast is to take a trip to visit the Kings Mountain National Military Park. The park offers activities ranging from a live-action theater film to hiking through some of the tallest forests east of the Mississippi. Named after the battle that was “The turn of the tide of success”, according to Thomas Jefferson, the park was the location of the first major patriot victory over the British after the invasion of Charleston during the Revolutionary War. Preserving the site, educating visitors and encouraging education about nature and history are some of the primary goals of the park. If you are feeling especially adventurous, leave your Summerville RV rental behind for a night and try camping in the Garner Creek Backcountry.

RV Parks

No matter where you decide to park your Summerville rental camper or RV, Summerville and the surrounding areas have a few different options that may fit your preferences. Some RV travelers prefer to be just outside of Charleston so that they can take advantage of being closer to the coast where they can enjoy the beaches and fresh-caught seafood. Others, however, prefer to head north of Summerville to enjoy the southern charm without so much commercial development. With any RV trip, it can be hard to make a choice as to which park will best fit your needs, so consider the length of time you will be in that area, and what amenities you will need to ensure a fun and stress-free trip.  Regardless of the park you choose in the Summerville area, you are certain to have easy access to I-26, so venturing to other areas in the state will be a breeze.

Exploring the City

Not far from many of the RV parks in and around Summerville you can find much to do. Boasting itself as the “Birthplace of Sweet Tea” visitors can travel along the Sweet Tea Trail, which passes through each of the five districts of Summerville.  Along the way, enjoy farm-to-table ingredients at many of the restaurants and take in the flora and fauna of the region on both sides of the scenic Ashley River.

With no true “starting place”, a great place to park your RV rental in Summerville can easily be found near exit 199 at the I-26 interchange. You can also get a great feel for southern plantation life in the 18th century by visiting the historic Middleton Place, along with Magnolia Gardens and the Drayton Hall Plantation. Azalea Square is where you will find great shops as well as dining options, or head over to Hutchinson Square if local spots are more your style.

Of course, there is something perfect for the history buffs too. Head into the Colonial Dorchester State Park to experience a colonial settlement currently being unearthed by archaeologists. Antique shows, craft shows, and performing arts are also common events that visitors can enjoy depending on their tastes and time of visit.
