Cape Romain Wildlife Camp on the Intracoastal: A Nature Lover’s Paradise! | House in Awendaw

In the heart of the Cape Romain Wildlife Refuge, nestled within the majestic Francis Marion National Forest, sits a hidden gem like no other. Here, the air is thick with the sounds of nature, and the sunsets paint the sky over the famous bird sanctuary of White Island. From the edge of the dock, you can gaze across Graham Creek, where it winds its way into Bulls Bay, a fishing paradise that calls to anglers from around the world. Whether you’re here to kayak the flats, bike the scenic trails, or simply soak in the breathtaking views, this is a place where nature takes center stage, and adventure is waiting right outside your door.
why you absolutely should not rent this place:
if bug bites ruin your day, don’t bother This is mosquito central, and they're relentless (Please pack bug spray).
there may or may not be banana spiders on the property—actual banana-sized spiders But hey, they just want to hang out in their webs, no big deal.
if seeing a snake or dolphin gives you nightmares, this isn’t your spot We’ve got both, and on any given day, you might see them along with flocks of eight to 10 white egrets strutting through the yard. Seagulls on the dock and pelicans flying overhead.
don't even get me started on the fire ants Step in the wrong spot, and you’ll know real quick you’re in their territory.
this is a wildlife refuge If you plan to complain about creatures doing their creature thing, please keep scrolling. We’ve intentionally designed this camp to be as natural as possible, and that includes the critters that might find their way inside. Yes, even in the pool house, you may encounter a rogue palmetto bug, fruit flies, or ants. it’s part of the charm!
