I will call the campground in the morning- just looked online- Has anyone asked about special shortened stays for UC members for cabins? I will ask about if in no one has....how many would be interested in a cabin if you could get just for the weekend?

Gundy · 03-18-08, 06:05 AM

Lynn, Scout and I will be staying in the campsite with full hookups.
Wife says she MUST have hot showers and power for the night.
We'll hang out with the crowd but crash separately.
The primitive area has restrooms but not showers and since Gundy's
cruiser shower will be staying home I had to go this route.
At the hookup sites 1 through 108 are beach front sites.
Anyone interested in camping there should reserve quickly
as I've been told they will probably not be available on short notice.
If you reserve a site you must pay upon reserving.
We are going down that Thursday to Sunday morning.

most of the hotels in that link are about a 20 min drive from HI. You guys might want to look into renting at Harbor Island or Fripp Island. Hunting Island is in-between those two. The campsite on HI is great, especially the site next to the beach. One of the campsites is off the beach, kind of back in the woods. Depending on the temperature at that time of the year... the bugs (sand gnats/flying teeth) might be bad in the woods. If you bring a boat, there is a nice boat ramp on the island.

Well we just booked a room at the Holiday Inn / hilton Head- Looking forward to putting faces to the names. As we get closer let me know what we need to bring.

So does this mean you are going to join us?

Found this. Condos. But they have a two night stay available and they are about 135 a night.

that one is about a 2 min. drive to the camp site.

I might be able to make it, I have twins coming in a few months.. so I'm not sure yet.

ouch.. this one? that's about an hour+ drive to hunting island.. or 20 min. by boat. Hilton Head is a good pick for a vacation spot if you are combo-ing the trip.

Gundy · 03-19-08, 08:26 AM

We've rented site #58 for Thurday to Sunday.

smkymntn · 03-19-08, 04:58 PM

We will be at the campground due to some unforseen BS occuring.

clemson55 · 03-20-08, 08:59 PM

I cant commit that far in advance I dont even know where I will be then I have to find a job. Good to see you stopped trying to schedule big stuff on football weekends though. Open weekend = good choice.

Well it's double edged sword. Annual will be in Sept and Clemson is playing at home the whole month.

GregFrench · 03-25-08, 08:29 PM

We'll be there. Is there a group campsite or anything for tenting? I'll bring the turkey cooker for boiling/steaming the shrimp, crabs, whatever else.

smkymntn · 03-25-08, 11:31 PM

If we are at the group site will we have access to showers? Even if we have to walk that is fine- Or do we need to reserve a different site? THe hunting island site says yes for regular camping but not specific to group sites.

I was told by the Ranger that the showers are NOT open to the primitive camping. Restroom
is located there and the water is a single point source.

We have reserved two group site beside each other. Holds 60 people or 60 tents.

Not sure of showers. Don't know how they would police that.

Thanks for the heads up - in the campground we will be- you guys probably dont want to hear my 4 year old

screaming before bed anyway and the

demands showers.

GregFrench · 03-27-08, 12:30 PM

Put me down for one of the sites at the group area. Or how do we do it? What is protocol here?
Can't wait can't wait can't wait....

Probably wait until after Over the Mountain Tour before we start roll call. we get closer.We have 60 spots. I'm sure there will be room for everyone. Cost will be around 2-5 per person for camping. We won't be able to figure out food cost until we get closer. But I think somewhere around $10-15 a night would be safe. I have been wrong before.

dbenke · 06-02-08, 06:02 PM

Maarshal, what else would you like us to do from down here. (Food, etc???)

Trollhole · 06-02-08, 06:23 PM

Couple things I'd like to know.

Where could we get some good oysters to roast that are reasonable. Shrimp? A rough cost per bushell or pound.

Any good places to throw out crab pots and shrimp nearby.

A local charter to go inland fishing.

If we can get those answered I think we will be a long way in making this a good event.
