Vacations spent in the South Carolina foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains as well as those spent lounging by the Atlantic along the beach are all packed with fun but sometimes getting away from it all – literally – is the way to go. If you’re up for an adventure to remember, load up the kayak and paddle your way along the Lynches River in the Pee Dee region of the Palmetto State to find yourself camped out on a riverside platform complete with a screened-in enclosure to keep the pesky South Carolina mosquitoes at bay.

You may be surprised at the wild excursions you can find in South Carolina, but if you dig deep enough, you'll find this one: a primitive campsite you can only get to by paddling a canoe or kayak to the landing.
