When we stayed here last year, we commented on some of the sites being wet. This year was no better, and some of the water/electric sites weren't usable following rain. Also, the sites are close together, and the sewer connection for the next site is close to the picnic table. The toilet/shower/laundry building appears to be rebuilt and was clean and pleasant to use. The site is close to Charleston and reasonably convenient to the ACE Basin wildlife refuge. The Wi-Fi worked well at our location. The price reflects the Passport America discount for full hookup sites. We would stay here again due to the convenient location. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We enjoyed the quiet setting of the park and the proximity to visiting Charleston. We were worried about getting stuck. The sites are mostly grass and dirt. Heavier rigs were leaving ruts everywhere. The driveway for exiting the park is very tight for big rigs in a couple of turns. When the park is busy, the sites are very close together. The sewer connection for the adjacent site was positioned right in front of our doorway, but was tolerable as no one used that site during our stay. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Passport America daily rate. This park is located near Charleston and is a short 15 minute drive. Sites are grass and if it has rained recently they will be soft and messy. Washrooms are great and the Wi-Fi works well but has no cable. Friendly owners who are making gradual improvements with the park. Has a nice small lake with ducks and even wild turkey nearby. I would stay here again We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Lake Aire's office is very efficient. Our paperwork was all ready when we arrived. Office staff was friendly and helpful when asked questions. It was convenient to visit Charleston. You parked on the grass without trees and when it rained the area got pretty saturated. The sites with trees/shade are all taken by full-time people. We would stay here again if we are through the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
First of all, I would not stay here if I knew it was going to rain. Sites are all grass and or dirt. They are also very close to one another. Gravel roads between are very narrow. Many people live at this park so their sites are really not maintained. Maintenance probably can't get to cut all the grass they need to around all their "stuff". The rest of the park was maintained but looked like things were not in any kind of order. There was nothing wrong or bad about this park, it just felt like a big backyard with campers in it. Sloppy might be a good word. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Lake aire is a nice campground. Staff were friendly and helpful. This is a no frills park.Just a pool and bath house with a lake for catch & release fishing.This is about 20 mins. from downtown, but not a bad drive.We arrived after storms had hit and areas were flooded.One motorcoach had to be pulled from the mud. We would stay here again as the price was good for what you get.We would avoid if strong storms are expected in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Lake Aire RV Park is one of the most restful settings near the big city. The wrap-around lake was beautiful to look at, wonderful to walk around, and folks were fishing (catch & release). The large, beautiful trees did not hamper our satellite reception in our site. It was good that they provided excellent, free wi-fi, since our own air-card service didn't work at the park. The office staff were very nice and helpful. The laundry was small, but clean. The park is convenient to Charleston, only about 20 minutes away. We had the best of both: the city nearness and the country setting. We'd go out of our way to stay here again, as it is a great park. The reasons we did not give it a 10 are: no cable and the sites of a "10" park would be bigger. These sites were comfortable, but not big. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Dirt/gravel road entry, narrow inner roads with grass sites. Rate is Passport America rate. Park was fine..we stayed here 5 days. Easy access to downtown Charleston about 12 miles away. You can hear a train whistle a few times a day, but was a non-issue for us. Park was quiet and well maintained, and staff was friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The site was large enough for our RV (40 foot motorhome w/4 slides), but it rained and the site was wet. None of the sites are cement, all were grass...or mud. This "could" be a nice park but the roads are full of pot holes and, as previously stated, the sites are muddy. Not much of a camp store for supplies either. The wi-fi does not work after about 10 o'clock in the evening. I would not stay at this park again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We arrived after a heavy rain and the campground was mud with standing water in the camp sites, all the sites are grass, no stone or pads at all. The person at the office didn't mention anything about all the mud. There is a sign in the office saying "No refunds for early departure." All roads are gravel with lots of little pot holes, so going is very slow. After 4 days, the sites are still mud, with ruts from where campers tried to get out and spun tires. This campground is real close to a railroad track, so train whistles happen all the time. Water pressure could be a little higher, electric & sewer were fine. No cable, but the 3 major channels came in fine. Free WIFI, but it onlyworks 80% of the time. Only 3 washers/dryers, and 1 dryer is broken, not enough for this size campground. Nice little fishing pond but no one used it. Probably wouldn't come back again, especially if it rained. If they would stone the sites, this would be a very nice place to camp. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Passport America rate. Park is located 14 miles from Downtown Charleston. WIFI is good but with no Cable not many TV stations to view with your antenna. Sites are large but some have poor drainage as we stepped into water after a heavy rain. They are working on this problem. Not enough washers/dryers but the washrooms were sufficient and clean. Has courtesy and pay phones. Nice lake with ducks and at the above rate is a good price for this area. No regular activities for Snowbirds, but area has alot to see and do. Staff were friendly and know the area well. We would come back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is off the road far enough to be quiet, although the train whistle is noticeable. Some people actually like train noises. Sites are wide enough and level, not as wide as area state parks, but typical of private campgrounds. The park appears to be addressing an earlier concern of low spots being deep in water after rain by some earthwork to raise low areas. We stayed here under the Passport America program for nearly a week at under $20 per night. We had an initial site near a noisy afternoon party but moved the next day to a great spot on the "lake," which is more of a pond. The restrooms were immaculate. There is not much of a store, but Walmart is only 5 miles away and Costco about 8 miles. The park is close to Charleston with easy access on US 17. We like this park and will probably return here due to the convenient location. We camped here in a Motorhome.
While this is a decent place to stay, there are some issues with what rules seem to apply to what campers. Some of the long term residents tend to party it up several times a month and it can get pretty noisy. There is also a railroad track nearby, with a couple of nightly runs between 7pm and 11pm. This campground is convenient to shopping, post offices, restaurants and is about 30 minutes from Charleston or Folly Beach. Due to the noise issue, we probably would not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
$18.50 Passport America weekday & $23.50 Holiday rate for 30amp and water. We spent 5 nights. Did not bother with sewer or 50amp to save the extra surcharge. Not a bad park, set back away from the road and had minor train noise. Vehicle washing is allowed with permission. Only thing to watch for the are low spots when setting up, after a rain there can be lots of fairly deep puddles. We had one just behind our steps and next to the car door, 4-5 inches deep. So it was socks off and Crocs on when we were leaving. Verizon cell was good, broadband ok but a bit slow. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Good location for access to Charleston. Staff were not very friendly or helpful. Although it says there is a lake it is very small and swamp like, with birds. Some bugs as well. Wi-Fi was only available at the laundry room. There were not enough washers and dryers for the amount of campers. Close to amenities like Wal-Mart, Costco etc. We used our Passport America discount. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
