Hunting Island State Park, SC

I have reservations for a campsite 50 yards from the surf October 12-16 if anyone is free to join me.....i.e. Charley! It is a 60x60 foot site with electricity and near a bathhouse. I'm taking my old dog and my canvas springbar type tent and will not be around much during the day since I plan to visit family in Charleston. The surf fishing and crabbing is usually great. I think this is close enough to the ocean to have few problems with noseeums and skiters, but pesky raccoons and deer may wander by. There is a spot 1 mile away from where I purchase the catch of the day from the fishing boats as they pull in and whatever is growing will be for sale at the stands on the highway. I plan to do an oyster roast one night.

The site is paid for and company would be fun to have around during one of the best months to be on a coastal island off of SC! PM me if interested.

Hi...

I'd love to join you. (I didn't know you were coming apart!).

But, unfortunately, I can't make it. Do greatly appreciate the invite, though. Hope y'all have a great time.

I've heard from a couple of folks that might be able to stop by and visit this barrier island. I'm excited to see others interested in checking out an area that I love, the coastal Carolina's. For the cyclist, there are lots of country roads leading to many sites of interest from the Civil War and nearby islands with miles of trails especially for biking (Hilton Head). I can loan my GPS to anyone needing guidance to backroads and suggest a couple of places to stop for a bite while spending the day cycling and sightseeing.

For those that want to surf fish, backwater fish, go crabbing, or fish from canoes and kayaks the possibilities are very close to the campsite. Get a fishing license. Trails abound for hikers with lots to see from flora, fauna to Civil War sites and old antebellum remnants from post Sherman days.

I am a little excited since the people that could show up are Dutch oven pros, but even more so to finally meet folks that remain faceless, but have helped me enjoy my outdoor camping and hiking adventures with their help and guidance over the past couple of years!

Please PM me if anyone else is interested and we'll start swapping information soon!
