Black Pearl Farms

Black Pearl Farms sits on a working organic farm in Branchville, South Carolina, with access to the Edisto River. Stays range from geodesic domes with hot tubs to canvas glamping tents and camping sites along a river oxbow, set among the farm's collection of rare Japanese maples, fruit trees, and berry bushes.

The property runs on unplugged time: no Wi-Fi, a wood-fired sauna, and long views across pasture and tree rows. Guests mention river access, a creek, turkeys, frogs, and fireflies at night, plus a farm store stocked with sourdough and the farm's own organic blueberries when in season. Black Pearl also distills lavender oil and makes small-batch home and body goods, started after their first lavender crop in 2024.

The farm stays suit couples and families looking for quiet rather than amenities. Facilities are described as a short walk from the tent cabins, and the grounds are kept tidy according to repeat visitors. Hours listed for the property run roughly 8am to 4:30pm most days, closed Sundays, which likely reflects farm store or visitor hours rather than check-in times for overnight guests.

Booking runs through ResNexus, linked from the farm's website. For specifics on current nightly rates, minimum stays, and which dome or tent is available on given dates, check the booking calendar directly, since none of that is published on the main site. The farm is located at 116 Byrd Lk Rd in Branchville, and the owners can be reached by phone for questions ahead of a visit.
