Any info on Hunting Island Campground??

I understand that Hunting Island campground will open next week. Also understand that all 88 sites on the beach side were wiped out but all the wooded sites have been upgraded with new water lines and 50 amp. Just wondering if anyone has seen this area. Also would like to know if they cleared out any of the trees to make the navigation through there easier for larger rigs. Just trying to figure out where we can fit. Have not seen any revised campground maps. Does anyone have any info on this place??

    We will be at the beach next week. We will drive through, and get an update.
  • We rode out there for lunch at the Shrimp Shack a couple of weeks ago, we finished and did ride all the way to the entrance to Fripp Island. It appears that part of the fishing pier is still gone but it was open. The road to the campground was not open but from what I could see looking down as we passed it appeared most of the trees were still on the entrance road. Between the campground and the pier you can still see a lot of downed trees still there which will most likely be left alone for nature to tend to..
    I also went by Edisto Island last week, everything there looks fine at the beach front campground. I rode all the way to Ocean Ridge and back down Jungle road, other than some vacant lots where houses USED to be on the beachfront row you would not know there was any damage, they have the place looking good.
  • Yea, me too, thought it was the only one.....btw...it is the biggest money making park in South Carolina...well it was until it was visited by Matthew!
  • Sheesh, thought that EVERYONE knows about Hunting Island! (Judging by the crowds there!) :)
  • You mean in Alaska? Or in Mexico? Or in... :p

    How about a location or more info on the place? LOL ;) (figured you've been a member for a long time, you can take a joke, LOL )
