This popular state park, located near historic Beaufort, is a 5,000-acre secluded barrier island of semitropical beauty.

As the name implies, the island was once used for hunting deer, raccoon, waterfowl and other small game.

As a state park, the island serves as a preserve for its abundant wildlife. With more than four miles of beach, a maritime forest and extensive saltwater marsh, the island is also a retreat for people who love a natural coastal environment.

An historic 19th-century lighthouse is Hunting Island?s most popular landmark, where guests can climb to the top for a spectacular view of the coastline. The lighthouse and its complex are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

park review stars; one to five Hunting Island campground is the best park by far. I love being on the ocean. Its a very clean park .I feel very safe and for my little granddaughter she loves it . We just cant go anytime because you need reservations. The park stays full. We try and make them a year in advance. We love it when we get to go.
