Comments:

This was our first real camping trip for 2008. We met with a group of folks from the Tiffin RV Network (OK, they are not a pop up group) but are a great group of folks.

We used this a a base to visit Charleston, SC but also spent a great deal of time wandering around the campground.

The campground is very large and has a lot of sites, but most are pull through side by side. While I though there was very little tree cover, folks in the coaches said getting satellite reception could be difficult. The area is very well maintained and for our needs this weekend it was fine. Ever site I saw was at least water and electric and many had sewer.

The bath house was clean every time I visited and there was plenty of hot water.

While the campground advertises that you can have campfires, no ground fires are allowed. They rent raised fire bowls for $4.50 per night. They are sticklers for the rules, especially the speed limit. Security patrols 24 hrs a day and stops anyone who seems to be going over the 10 MPH limit.

As you can tell, if we were there then pets are allowed, with the usual rules - must have their shots, clean up after your pet, must always be on a leash no longer than 6 feet. This is another area they are strict with, and when you sign in they make you sign a form stating you understand the rules and that your dog is not aggressive. A nice feature is a large fenced off leash pet play area!

Handicapped Availability:

Nothing special was noted. many sites had a concrete pad, but they did not go all the way to the street. Someone in a wheelchair would still have to navigate over a gravel area to get to the concrete pad. The bath house did have a "wider" toilet stall and a "wider" roll in shower, but no grab bars or folding seats.
