Camping at Aiken State Natural Area, formerly known as Aiken State Park
Four spring-fed lakes and the meandering South Edisto River make Aiken State Natural Area a popular destination. The park is a combination of a river swamp, bottomland hardwood forest and dry sandhill pine forest; the latter provides evidence of an era when the sea reached this far inland. Built in the 1930's by the Civilian Conservation Corps, this 1,067-acre park has a variety of animal and plant life, making it an excellent location for nature study and birding. The park also offers a variety of outdoor recreation opportunities such as canoeing the Edisto River, fishing in one of the park lakes, picnicking, camping and hiking trails.
We are a South Carolina State Park that is well secured and operates seven days a week, 365 days a year. There are 25 sites that provide electrical and water hookups, a dump station, and will accommodate tent campers as well as Travel Trailers and RVs. The campground also provides a heated shower house.
