Everybody told me I had to see Charleston while in South Carolina so I gave in and went to a Passport America Park there, Lake Aire RV Park. The sites are large pull-thrus on grass and fairly level. It has a laundry room and free wifi though I used my aircard instead. The pool is tiny. Again, this place is more about location. It is very close to Charleston and all the best beaches.
I drove into the Visitor’s Center in Charleston to get the lay of the land. One thing you should know about Charleston is you have have to pay big bucks for parking everywhere unless you have a handicapped parking tag. For handicapped, you write your name, tag number, and tag state on the back of the parking stub and they let you park free everywhere. From the Visitor’s Center, you can catch a bus tour of the city which is quite extensive and I am sure very good. However, the buses are enclosed with tinted windows so if you are a shutterbug like me, the open horse carriage tour while less extensive is a better choice. And hey, I love a horse carriage ride!

Trying to waste some time in South Carolina before heading to Florida, I went to Big Water Resort which is a C2C park. I heard it had a Lazy River tube ride and was on a lake. The sites are pull-thrus and level. The bathhouse and laundry room very nice. My aircard worked there. The cabins . . . → Read More: Summerton, SC

Ah my second visit to Myrtle Beach. This time I got to stay at the Briarcliff RV Resort. Tell anyone you are going to Myrtle Beach, and they always seem to ask if you are staying at the Briarcliff. It is very popular and a C2C park as well as Passport America. It is a very very nice place to stay in North Myrtle Beach. The pads are all concrete and the streets paved. Free cable TV is provided and the aircard signal is just fine. After a lot of more rustic camping, I was ready for some pampered city camping and no ants. The clubhouse seems to be well used and the pool is large. The bathhouse and laundry facilities are excellent. There is access to Barefoot Landing shopping and dining next door if you are up for a good long walk. I got a kick out of the storm sewer action nearby, particularly at high tide. The water shoots up through the drain and you can hear the waves (I’m easily amused obviously). I did have to ask someone how to get in and out as this is a protected gated community. You come in through one minor gate when registering but normal in-out is through massive gates with a security card. I would love to go back there again.
I went back to Broadway at the Beach in hopes of finding a second set of lights for my awning to match the first set I bought there previously at Tiki Jims. No luck. I did however discover The General Store with lots of great tropical, island lifestyle decorations for my trailer. I got a metal sculpture of sailing boats, a life preserver welcome aboard, several plaster and wood tropical birds, and a message in a bottle lamp for the picnic tables. I made use of the rocking chairs on their porch as well.

Time to get out of the north before the snow comes or the campgrounds close. I needed a place to stay for a week on my way to Myrtle Beach. Wilson seemed as good a place as any. Kampers Lodge of America is a Passport America park. It was nice to have a pull through site . . . → Read More: Wilson, NC
