Dewees Island

Stunning, historic Charleston needs no introduction but for glampers wishing to visit South Carolina’s largest and oldest settlement, but also wishing to avoid the downtown hubbub, nearby Dewees Island makes a perfect alternative. Visitors can visit Charleston in mere minutes and sample its old neighborhoods whose architecture encapsulates every period of American history with houses dating back to the 1690s, America’s oldest museum, and historic Fort Sumter all within easy range, not to mention its varied arts and music scene and its famous local cuisine that combines elements from France, England, and Africa. All this urban charm is on the glamper’s doorstep but combined with the seclusion and peace of this tranquil island setting where guests can enjoy the sound of ocean waves breaking on the shoreline and see wildlife ranging from dolphins to oystercatchers.
