Need to make a side trip

We are full timers working our way up the eastern coastline and surrounding area.

We are currently in Savannah, GA planning on leaving on the 30th after having been here for a week.

We were planning on going to Charleston, SC next for a week but it seems that there are 3 big things going on in Charleston the weekend of 2nd/3rd so no sites to be had anywhere. We can get in somewhere starting on the 5th though.

Does anyone have any suggestions of where we could go to that is not too far from either place for a side trip for a few days.

Augusta,GA? Columbia, SC? Something in between? If you've been to these places, or live near them, give us some suggestions on what to do.

Thanks in advance!

Hilton Head SC!

X3 for Hunting Island State Park.

You could always just head to the Mountains - Lake Toxaway or the Biltmore are always fun.

BOL,

Since you're near, drop by Beaufort, and Hunting Island State Park.

Don't know what you are interested in, but Columbia consists of the University, State House, Fort Jackson, Riverbanks Zoo, and the State Museum. They are developing the river area more and more and has some nice restaurants and bars. The places to camp are limited there are a few private campgrounds but three state parks "In the area". Dreher Island on Lake Murray, Sesquicentennial State Park near Columbia, and our favorite, Lake Wateree State Park.

If you go to Augusta which I don't know much about other than that golf tournament, you might drive through Aiken SC which is a wonderful old town, famous for Polo, old money, walking gardens.

Stay another week in Savannah.
