Wed, Nov 27, 2024, 3:00 PM ESTTHANKSGIVING - HUNTINGTON BEACH STATE PARK
Huntington Beach State Park, Murrells Inlet, SC
A sweeping Grand Strand beach, pristine and wide open, stands as one of the most recognizable South Carolina landmarks. Revel in sea-breeze camping, the finest surf fishing South Carolina has to offer and some of the top bird-watching on the East Coast.
That’s not all Huntington Beach State Park has to offer. There are also South Carolina landmarks such as Atalaya, the picturesque, Moorish-style winter home of Archer and Anna Hyatt Huntington, philanthropist and sculptor, respectively, who left the park and adjacent Brookgreen Gardens as their legacy.

Nature lovers also will enjoy the park’s wide variety of programming, including the chance to see loggerhead turtles and other endangered plant and animal species up close. The park’s freshwater lake is a sure-fire place to see alligators and sometimes even a mink or two.

Art lovers, meanwhile, flock by the thousands to the prestigious, juried Atalaya Arts and Crafts Festival held each September in and around the former home of Archer and Anna Hyatt Huntington.

Link visible for attendees
This is an online event for 2024 camping event recommendations. Meetup would not allow the dates to run for the entire year, so the start and end date is December 31, 2024. This will allow all members to post recommendations and comments through December 31, 2024. The group is looking for different places to camp and this is your opportunity to take a lead role in organizing an event. If you are suggesting a location, please also recommend a campground or two that you have camped at or have researched to make sure it is a good fit for the group. Most of our members want an RV site with electric and water. An occasional primitive event is also fine. Please provide dates, links, address, phone numbers and any other pertinent information for the group to review. Events will be posted by one of the organizers, once approved. All members are welcome and encouraged to participate!!! Let's make 2024 a year full of HAPPY CAMPING!!!

196 Andrew Jackson Park Rd, Lancaster, SC
Andrew Jackson State Park combines history, art and community activities into a setting that has made it one of the state’s most popular parks.

March 17th falls on a Monday so it complicates our usual Thursday through Sunday camping dates. As always, you can make your reservation for whatever dates work for you. Weather permitting, we will get together Saturday night for dinner, a fire pit and to celebrate St. Patrick's Day! If you stay through Monday, celebrate St. Patrick's Day again!

This is a small campground so make your reservation soon so you don't miss out.
