Movin around SC & GA Coast - experiences

Adding some comments for the benefit of future Hunting Island State Park visitors. The back loop, 156-200 is very difficult for large equipment. Last week we stayed in spot 157; we loved the park but this space was challenging. Looking at the spot from the road, it was completely unclear where the desired spot was! Imagine a stubby legged octopus with a power stand for a head... no arm was quite long enough for our our 24ft trailer, or if if was appropriate there was always a palm tree or a pine in just the wrong place. It took us 3 laps and over an hour to get situated into our spot (we ended up just paralleling the road). It took nearly 2 hours for our neighbors in 197 to get their 5th wheel parked and required the neighbor to move their Jeep by nearly 10 ft (in their own space).

Once you get there, low tide is amazing... tide pools and MILES of sand to explore. We saw crabs, fish, dolphins, birds, you name it. The nature center was lovely. If you feel inclined to go out for dinner, the Foolish Frog in Lady's Island served a mean Shrimp & Grits and ribs were good too.

Be SURE TO TAKE THE 21 Bypass. Our GPS in the Tahoe took us on 21 Business which involved downtown Beaufort and a 3-axle restricted bridge.

Overall a great State Park with some freakishly challenging spots... if it says severe grade, it IS SEVERE. :-)
