Bamberg County, South Carolina

Bamberg County is down in the southern part of South Carolina. It’s small, rural, and proud of it. Bamberg, the county seat, feels like a trip back in time. The old courthouse dominates the town square.
Agriculture is king here. Drive down any road and you’ll see fields of soybeans, cotton, and corn. Bamberg County’s got some quirky claims to fame too. It’s the birthplace of Nikki Haley, former governor and UN ambassador.
But there’s also a nature side of things here. The Edisto River forms part of the county’s eastern border. It’s one of the longest free-flowing blackwater rivers in North America. It’s a paddler’s paradise.
