OK....anyone else have reservations for next month (Feb, 2018) at Hunting Island SC? As soon as I heard the park was re-opening as of Feb 1st, I made a reservation for mid February. Just spoke with someone at the visitors center there and was told, the projected date for re-opening is in fact Feb 1, but was as always, "subject to change". If anyone has further info or an "inside scoop", I would love to hear it. I so hope it opens February 1. I am in need of a Hunting Island "fix". Fingers crossed?

When was the last time you were there? If it’s been a while be prepared for a major “wow...”. Hunting used to be our favorite state park but not right now. It will take some time for Mother Nature to heal the place after the wrath she aimed its way over the past two years specifically but the last two decades had not been kind.

Last time we were there was Feb/2016. We actually had reservations when Matthew hit Oct 2016 which of course were cancelled by the park service just prior to the arrival of Matthew, so we have not seen the island since these two hurricanes wreaked their havoc. I am sure we will be shocked at its appearance now. I understand the back side of the campground is all that is left for camping. This island is full of memories for our family as we have been camping there for over 30 years beginning when our children were babies. I am so looking forward to this trip we have scheduled next month but I fear it may not happen.

I just checked the SC website and discovered that campsite numbers for Hunting Island SP begin at "90". I'm assuming that sites 1-89 are no longer available?

Yes, that is what the person at the campground store told me when I called today. Apparently, the electrical lines were literally lying on top of the ground on the front side. Mother Nature rules for sure! Just hoping I will at least get to stand on the beach and walk to the lighthouse, which I understand was not harmed (this time). This trip, if it comes to fruition will be a birthday celebration trip for me. Wish me luck!

Hey folks, have a question for yall. We have a 42 foot fifth wheel, can you recommend a site that we can get in. Would like to stay there but have been told they are not big rig friendly.Thanks all and God Bless

It's starting to look like the third time is a charm. Just got the email to confirm my reservations for next week at Hunting Island. I was beginning to think it was never going to happen as my last 2 trips were cancelled due to storm damage/closures. Just checked weather forecast and it's looking like highs in the low 60s. Sorry, don't mean to boast....this has just been a long time in coming. I'll take lots of pics and for updates to all who wish to plan their trip.

We stayed in site 159 in a 40' fiver in 2014. It was a little tight getting in and going around the loop getting out, but, not bad. We've been in tighter places in the mountains around here. It was a pull through which was parallel to the road. I'll try to post a picture.
