Overview of campgrounds near Dale
Dale is an unincorporated community in northern Beaufort County, South Carolina, sitting along U.S. Route 21, the Trask Parkway, north of the city of Beaufort. This rural Lowcountry location places RV travelers within short driving distance of the Sea Islands, the ACE Basin estuary, and the historic Beaufort waterfront, while keeping quick access to Interstate 95 via U.S. Highway 17 to the north.
The surrounding area supports a mix of full-hookup RV resorts and traditional wooded campgrounds. The Oaks At Point South RV Resort and Point South / I-95 / Yemassee KOA Holiday sit close to the I-95 corridor, making them practical stops for travelers routing between Charleston and Savannah. Tuck In the Wood Campgrounds offers a more shaded, tree-covered setting nearby.
For travelers wanting to base near the coast and Hilton Head Island, Hilton Head Harbor RV Resort and Marina and Hilton Head National RV Resort are within a reasonable drive south of Dale. Together these properties give travelers a flexible range of options: interstate-adjacent overnight stops, quiet Lowcountry stays, and marina-side resort camping.
Things to do near Dale
Hunting Island State Park is the marquee attraction in the area. The park includes five miles of beach, thousands of acres of marsh and maritime forest, a saltwater lagoon and ocean inlet, and is home to the historic Hunting Island lighthouse, built in 1859 and rebuilt in 1875. The lighthouse is the only publicly accessible historic lighthouse in South Carolina and offers panoramic views of the surrounding Lowcountry and Atlantic coastline.
The Ernest F. Hollings ACE Basin National Wildlife Refuge sits within one of the largest undeveloped estuaries on the Atlantic Coast. The Combahee Unit is roughly 20 miles northwest of Beaufort and supports hiking, birding, photography, and fishing along dikes and impoundments.
Historic downtown Beaufort, with its antebellum architecture and waterfront park, is a short drive south. Visitors can add day trips to Parris Island, Hilton Head beaches, and boat or kayak tours through the tidal creeks.

Beaufort County has a humid subtropical climate. Summers are hot and humid with frequent afternoon thunderstorms, and August is the wettest month, with rain falling roughly 21 days and accumulating about 90 mm of precipitation. Bug spray, sun protection, and reservations well ahead of arrival are essentials during this stretch, when Hunting Island's beachfront sites fill quickly.
Spring and fall are the most comfortable windows for RV camping. Daytime highs are milder, humidity drops, and mosquito pressure eases compared with midsummer. It is warm enough to swim along the coast from May to mid-October, and summer is also the time to spot loggerhead turtles as they nest and hatch along the beach.
Winters are short and mild for the region. Hunting Island stays open year-round, and interstate-adjacent parks near Point South continue to serve snowbird traffic. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30, and during active storms the park may close temporarily for visitor safety, so travelers should check the official park website or call ahead during hurricane season.
How to book campgrounds near Dale
Hunting Island State Park uses the South Carolina State Parks reservation system. Sites can be reserved up to 13 months in advance, campsite reservations require a minimum two-night stay, and same-day reservations must be made directly through the park. Hunting Island is one of South Carolina's most popular camping destinations with only about 100 campsites, so beach-adjacent sites tend to sell out early for spring, summer, and holiday weekends.
Private RV resorts near Dale, including The Oaks At Point South RV Resort, Point South / I-95 / Yemassee KOA Holiday, Tuck In the Wood Campgrounds, Hilton Head Harbor RV Resort and Marina, and Hilton Head National RV Resort, are booked directly through each property's website. Same-day and last-minute stays are generally easier to secure at the I-95 corridor properties than at coastal resorts during peak season.
What to expect on the ground
Dale itself is quiet and rural. The nearest full-service grocery stores are in the Beaufort and Burton area, so everyday supplies are best picked up before heading to more remote campgrounds. Cell coverage is generally reliable along U.S. 21 and near I-95 but can thin out on refuge back roads.
Roads are flat and easy to tow on. U.S. 21 links south to Beaufort and its hospital, and north to U.S. 17 and I-95. Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport sits less than an hour's drive away.
Expect Lowcountry conditions: shaded sites under moss-draped oaks, tidal marsh views, and biting insects in warm months. Hunting Island has a significant tick population, especially during summer months, so wear long pants tucked into socks on trails, use DEET or permethrin-based repellent, and perform tick checks after hiking. Pack sunscreen, insect repellent, and a plan to book coastal state park sites early.
