My wife usually has plant shut down between Christmas and New Years.This year,we are thinking about heading to SC.Do the campgrounds get full during that time? We stayed at Willow Tree last October and would consider that again,but State parks would be ok too?Would reservations be necessary? What are the temps like that time of year? Got to be better than in PA.

We have spent several Christmas to New Years' at Hunting Island SP. It's $30/night, right on the ocean, water/electric only, but has a couple of dump stations. Unless the weather is really cold, it is usually pretty full. Lots of locals come down for the holidays.The weather can be iffy, but it is NORMALLY, 60s during the day, maybe a little warmer and then gets down in the mid 40's at night. If you are in one of the spots in the back, it is usually warmer since you don't have the breeze directly off the ocean.Yes, I would make a reservation. Sometimes, they close some of the loops.

Huntington Beach Sate Park and Myrtle Beach State Park have some full hookups, and I would definitely make reservations. Both are close to great seafood, golf, and things to do. Weather can get cold, but much better than PA.

Willow Tree fills up quick...days around 60....nights can get around 30-35 degrees...much nicer than NY..

IMOP. No more people than will be in the big 4 MB CGS. I'd try one of them. You would not only have full hookups, but indoor pools as well, and be on the beach. Myrtle Beach Travel Park on the North end, is very nice, and near restaurant, row, and Barefoot landing.OL, PL, and LW are in the South end, and near shopping, and many other attractions. All have ocean front, or just beach sites, and like I say, full hookup. Going to a dump station, is not something I want to do. But staying in those CGs will put you near so many things. Plus the rates are very low in the winter.

I would bet that Charleston, SC, would be a great place to visit during the Christmas Season. And the Campground at James Island County Park would be a great place to stay. Have a great trip.
