After acquiring Fripp Island Golf & Beach Resort this January, Seascape Hospitality Group has announced the acquisition of Camelot Farms Equestrian Center, located on Saint Helena Island.
Founders Joe Guerra and Adam Fuller led the acquisition on behalf of Seascape Hospitality Group and will manage the operations of the property moving forward through their management company.
Camelot Farms Equestrian Center’s services and riding excursions will be a fantastic new amenity for Fripp Island Resort visitors and residents, while remaining open to the public.
Mark and Anne Kennedy founded Camelot Farms Equestrian Center in 1999 after relocating from Atlanta, Ga. The 62-acre horse farm with 54 horses is the finest equestrian facility in the area, bordering the marshes of the Atlantic Ocean. Camelot Farms Equestrian Center is located on Saint Helena Island, between Dataw and Fripp Islands, only five miles from Hunting Island State Park.
Camelot Farms currently offers indoor and outdoor boarding, rider training, and trail rides – either on the plantation trail or down the beautiful coastline along the Saint Helena Sound. The coastline excursion is the only beach ride offered year-round in the area.
All of Camelot’s trail rides provide a unique recreation opportunity for horse lovers, history buffs, and nature lovers alike. Featuring a wide variety of family and kid-friendly programming, Camelot Farms is an exciting addition to Seascape Hospitality Group. Future plans for the Equestrian Center include upgrades to the barn and boarding facilities, enhancements to the property, and expanded educational and family programming.
“We’re excited to add Camelot Farms to strengthen our list of amenities offered here at Fripp Island Resort, while still being able to service the Beaufort-area public,” Fripp Island Resort General Manager Tom Frost said in a news release. “We are honored that Anne and Mark chose us to maintain their legacy on Saint Helena at Camelot Farms and are looking forward to an exciting future.”
