Hello! We currently have a reservation at Hunting Island State park for a 2 week vacation trip in August. What I'm hearing is that the Mosquitos are bad at that time of year and I'm just wondering if we should book somewhere else instead???
With that being said, are there any other options on the ocean between these two cities that do not have this bug issue? Part of the enjoyment of camping is being outside and I just can't see ourselves staying inside of the camper while we are at the campsite all the time!
Thanks!!
Hunting Island is beautiful..as is Beaufort, Bluffton, Sav and all the towns along the SE coast. The bugs are the same everywhere at that time of the year. if you have a site near the beach you won't have any bugs, the further you get from the beach the more bugs..it is in deep woods! I think there are more bugs in Ohio... we live near and never have a problem w mosquito..do have no see 'ums in early spring but they are gone by summer and they are only out early am and dusk. Like someone said, a box fan works great, as does repellent. So much to see and enjoy..this area is so very pretty you won't have time to think about the bugs. Make sure you go to the top of the lighthouse, eat lots of local fresh seafood, go kayaking, hiking and walking on the beach. See the historic homes and museums located throughout the Low Country. Enjoy your time here.
