2025 Highlights | First Year
“This place was absolutely phenomenal! Our 3 boys ages 13, 11, and 7 loved it here! There was so much for them to do!” – Darren
We started 2025 with our first public event: a NYE party with the Carolina Camping Club (CCC) and bookended the year welcoming 2026 with Standing Pines guests. What a wonderful year of discovery and adventure, as real families discovered real memories together.
“The amenities, the cleanliness, the hospitality, the activities for kids—literally everything was top notch. Our kids had a blast at the splash pad, gem mining, playground, basketball court, and mini golf!” – Caroline
From monthly live music to sunset gatherings, from morning gem mining to evening campfires, we watched families slow down enough to actually be together.
“This is the most kid friendly campground we’ve been to. Our kids loved it and so did we! The owners, Amy and Craig are amazing and so helpful!” – Kristen
Some said we were crazy building a campground in rural South Carolina, 2 hours from the crowds of Myrtle Beach.
Maybe they were right. Or maybe the 200+ families from 26 states and provinces who experienced wildly comfortable camping in the country know better.
“We had such a wonderful experience and will be returning multiple times a year!” – April
“Can’t wait to go back!” – Donna
Meet Standing Pines! We are a new, family‑owned campground in the Pee Dee region near Hartsville, South Carolina, offering wildly comfortable camping for RVs, cabins, and tents. Discover memories together with quiet country camping for the whole family at Standing Pines.
We are about 30 minutes from the I‑95 / I‑20 interchange near Florence, SC. Watch for owls flying through our pines, challenge each other to a round of mini golf, and laugh as your fur babies explore two large fenced dog parks perfect for zoomies. Enjoy full‑hookup RV sites and modern comforts like our Oasis outdoor showers, private bathhouse, strong Wi‑Fi, and 24/7 Laundry Lounge.
Explore nature with more than 1.5 miles of trails through our private forest or stroll around our 3‑acre private lake. Sunrise and sunset over the water are colorful shows most days.
In summer, we are just 15 minutes from Neptune Island Water Park, a regional favorite for families with kids. All year, we are about 20 minutes from the Darlington NASCAR racetrack and museum, plus fun South Carolina attractions like McLeod Farms and Antique Museum in McBee.
More into nature? We are 15 minutes from the National Sandhills Wildlife Refuge, with more than 47,000 acres of pine forest, ponds and rolling hills. Even closer, the South Carolina Sandhills State Forest offers another 45,000 acres of outdoor fun.
