James Island Campground - Charleston
We're staying at the James Island County Park Campground in Charleston, SC. Wow! This is a fabulous park, not cheap but an extraordinary value IMHO.
The campground is on the small (about 120 sites) side but for this time of year (mid October) it is probably only 60% full. It's immaculate and all the sites are quite large. You could put my rig on my site twice. It's wooded but not depressingly so, just enough to provide privacy between adjacent sites. What makes it doubly impressive are the grounds.
The campground is inside a 640 acre park that is covered with plantings, pond, climbing wall, spray scape, play scape, paved hiking/biking trails and enough grass to make a couple of golf courses.
For us, one of the neatest features is the dog park (probably 3/4 of an acre with pond and three doggie beaches). Our 'kids' exhaust themselves there, twice a day.
One of the things that has made a big impact on me in my travels is that the southern states seem to make really good use of their parks. In New England, my former home, state/county/municipal parks are either in decline or not used because they simply don't offer much to patrons. Many northern 'public' parks overcharge for lots that are too small, partial hook ups, hard to get into, and not level anyway. It's like they're all frozen in time (about 1950 for most).
