Travel and Tourism Awards 2026 | 9 The South Carolina Lowcountry is known for its cultural heritage and natural environment, making it the perfect place to escape to for those looking to immerse themselves in country life. Set along the I-95 corridor in the heart of this region, Point South KOA blends outdoor hospitality with guest satisfaction, taking the popular ‘glamping’ concept but going well beyond the barebone services many sites offer. Bill Olendorf, co-owner of this campground, told us more about its five-star service. Best Deluxe Cabin Rental Accommodation 2026 – South Carolina they bring their own RV or tent, or stay in one of the camping cabins or deluxe cabins on-site. With Point South KOA’s deluxe cabins being singled out for their exceptional quality in this programme, it pays to take a closer look at exactly what they offer. These deluxe cabins sleep between four and eight people, and all come complete with a full bathroom and a shower, as well as kitchen facilities. Linens are provided across these deluxe cabins to make a stay seamless, and additional amenities including patios and propane grills only serve to elevate the experience. The heavy use of wood across these deluxe cabins gives them a traditional feel, seeing that they blend in perfectly with the surroundings and do not remove guests too far from the sense of nature-filled wonder they came seeking in the first place. In essence, there is no accommodation better for those who value the finer things but still crave an authentic experience. Another great thing about a stay in one of these deluxe cabins is that guests will receive a free, made-to-order pizza courtesy of the on-site Hunt Brothers Pizza Shop. This is also a great spot to come for a bite to eat at any other point over the course of their vacation, and many people stop by for the famous breakfast pizza served seven days a week, starting at 7AM. Enjoy scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage, bacon, and cheese, all served on a buttery crust. Over the course of the day, tasty chicken wings are also on offer here. Far from the only place to access quality ingredients at Point South KOA, the campground also boasts Swimming Mermaid Coffee House, providing a full-line coffee bar with drinks from lattes and cappuccinos to espresso shots. For those after something other than coffee, signature drinks here include the Snickers hot chocolate. This location also doubles as a wine bar, serving boutique wines from across the region and beyond, either by the glass or by the bottle. A flight of wine is also available for guests to sample throughout the day. As all of this shows, there is so much for guests to enjoy at Point South KOA, regardless of whether they choose to stay in one of its deluxe cabins or make use of any other the options available.

Its Point South Campground is undoubtedly one of its best, with amenities ranging from a year-round pool to a dog park and even cable TV hook-up with 62 channels. This is not all, as guests can enjoy weekend community campfires, a huge interactive playground, and a range of other activities. This stellar lineup of amenities and recreation activities is a key part of what makes Point South KOA stand out from similar sites, and the exceptional presentation of this campground is something that can be attributed to more than 40 years of family ownership. Bill and late wife Barbara established the ground back in 1983, working tirelessly over the years to hone its amenities and service delivery so that it remained one of the region’s most sought-after campgrounds. Today, daughter Jennifer is also a part owner, continuing this legacy. Governed by this family ethos, Point South KOA offers the highest service standards of almost any campground in America, with the five-starlevel service being inspired not by other camping sites, but by some of the leading hospitality venues in the world.
