James Island,SC

Has anyone stayed in James Island campground? I've booked site #33 on Oct. 6th. Have never been there but going to a wedding in Charleston that weekend and wanted to stay near Charleston. Any info would be great. They only had 4 sites available during this week.

Just now saw this. Sorry it is late. James island County Park is FABULOUS!!!!! I cannot rave enough about it. For a County park, it shames most private "resorts." It is a quick 10 to 15 minute trip west of Charleston. Most convenient. Follow the directions. Try to arrive in daylight. The roads leading to the park are eery at night with Cypress trees and Spanish moss hanging over the roads. The roads to the park are narrow, through rural residential areas, but very good. I do not recommend downtown Charleston in an RV. The streets are narrow, crowded, and easy to get trapped. We spent 4 days there and loved it. Great Bar B Q, Tour Fort Sumpter if you never have been. The "city house and Battery" tour is great. The tourism bureau is set up in the bus depot in center of downtown. Tours are reasonable, and most informative. The market place is fun too. James island has lots to do, with large, easy to get into sites. We were there late Oct. '07.

Thanks Dana and Cindy for your reply. I am just getting back to this site after a week or so. We love the Charleston area but this is our first stop at James Island. We stay down in Hunting Island state park usually. If you're down that way, check out that campground.

We will add Hunting island to our list. We hoped to get back that way last Spring on a "Southern Trip", but our plans changed. It is back in our bucket list. We are looking at a fly, rent a car motel trip to Maine, Nova Scotia and P.E.I. next Spring, and Hawaii in July. Getting the bird on the road for longer trips is doubtful next year. Considering ii 2700 miles or so for us to Charleston...
