We just returned from Givhan's Ferry State Park. We were told it was a nice and very reasonable place to stay. This was true. The 2 bedroom cabin was very clean and had everything you needed for a fun stay near Charleston. We visited Magnolia and Middleton Gardens. It was 28 miles from Charleston. The cost was $70 a night. Wow a bargain!!! The bedrooms have a double bed in one bedroom and bunk beds in the other. That may be a problem for seniors. The screened deck was lovely and over looked the Edisto River. It is not close to any restaurants, so bring your food to cook. We purchased delicious fresh Shrimp in Charleston and had several feasts at the cabin. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to cook. We had a great time there. We will go back. We would return to this little treasure in the woods.

Great State Park. Cool off in the Edisto River on a hot summer day. A good put in site if you are canoeing or kayaking downstream.

this is a state park and the facilities are quite dated ...people are very friendly that operate it. the Rangers a top guy ,you can take all your camp related troubles to him he will listen and he will take care of trouble.the problem with campgrounds in general are usually campers not looking after the kids their dogs ,habits ,theyre going to be occaisional bad neighbors but most of the time you'll find campers are different people and that pretty cool mostly laid back wanting to relax themselves.this is not a big commercial campground operated by huge corporation, this is a state park with the facilities being built like in the 40's to 50's by the ccc.go camping people!

We tented for a few days in April 2013, initially reserving the spot online as a base for the Charleston area. Campsite was clean, flat, and plenty of trees for shade. Our site also came with a pit in the ground with a grill cover, electricity, and water. Bathrooms were also clean and well lit....and bug-free! Of course, that could be due to the fact that it was still cold outside, but perhaps it is due to the restrooms (the ones at the campground and at the playground) being clean. The residents were quiet and we felt quite safe, as many other families were there. We plan to return when the weather is warmer and make GF a destination rather than just a place to sleep for the night.

We only stopped in for a picnic as we were traveling in the area but the people with kayaks, canoes and tubes looked like they were having a blast. We enjoyed it very much!

Went to see another of SC's great state parks and was kind of disappointed. WORST PARK MAP EVER! That alone should have let me know that it was going to be bad, but the lack of clear "trail" marking, all the day "tube people" and lack of maintenance on the attractions left a bad taste in our mouths. If you're needing a day trip destination, look somewhere else. This is not a 'must see.' Also, we couldn't get into the pavilion hall because it was rented out for what looked like a wedding that day.

From the reviews it sounds like this place would be a great park. However, don't plan on a solid hiking day. We went with the expectation of hiking a nice 6 mile day hike. The nature trail was an ok 1.5 mile hike, but it was poorly marked and we found ourselves following random dead ends that broke off the trail at several sections. The staff at the park was relatively unfriendly. The guy at the front gate didn't have change for a $10 when admission is $2 cash only. We arrived early so I'm not sure what he was going to do with the wedding party that was showing up later. The other part of the 6 mile trail amounted to little more than an ugly, muddy forrest road. We decided to call it a day rather than hike a dirt road for 5 miles. This park may be good for paddling or fishing, but if you are looking for a good low country hike, look somewhere else.

Spent one night here - mainly to check it out for kayaking at a later date. It's a small campground; but each site is shielded with vegetation, so it is somewhat private. Sites are flat. It's about 1/4 mile from the campground down to the river. River is slow flowing and should make for good kayaking; except for the monster horse flies and mosquitos. The dog had enough of the horse flies while in the river and just ran back to the campground. There is a limited amount of trail hiking (only one trail). Noticed lots of trash around. One reason may be that there are no containers for day-trippers, only one by the front gate. Restrooms were clean and stocked. One TV channel, one bar on Verizon data, and sporadic cell reception.

Park entrance is only $2 per person. Plenty of field parking for groups and meetups. Summer is not summer until you have met up with friends and tied all your tubes together to float down the Edisto River. Givhans State Park is the perfect place to launch between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Get in at the Park and get out at Boat Landing Rd. Show your pass and you can re-enter the park to get your car after the fun is over on the water. Coolers allowed but no open alcohol. Bathrooms are on site in the picnic area as well as a shower for rinsing off after and changing clothes for the long drive home.

We spent three nights at Givhans Ferry State Park near Summerville, South Carolina while visiting friends and family in the area. We found this tiny park and its campground to be uninteresting and unattractive. The roads and our site were dirt. Gnats were problematic. The restroom was modern and very clean. Carpenter bees swarmed around the exterior and called it home. They were doing some work to the park and there was no access to the Edisto River. On the plus side, it was inexpensive
