We used to also think that SC state parks were much superior than those in NC. However, our last trip south proved otherwise.

The washrooms, especially the first one in the beach CG was so filthy that you had to wash on the way out. Returning home, what a pleasant surprise we had at Stone Mountain SP in North Carolina, at ~$18 per night. The washrooms were modern and very clean, and the CG was impeccable. We realize that its not on the ocean, but the hiking and waterfalls were tremendous. With this park and the better roads, we felt that NC was doing something right, notwithstanding the higher gas tax. JM2centsW
