I am in Wilmington but loading the wife and kids in the lx and driving down for the eclipse. I am staying in Pawleys Island and was hoping to find a decent place in the park to pull over and set up a camp for a few hours.

Does anyone know if this is even an option? I am sure with the eclipse there will be tons of people thinking the same thing. I just don't want to go too close to Charleston and get caught in bumper to bumper traffic both ways on the same day.

Thanks in advance!
 
we are going to try to go to the lowcountry stargazers viewing party at Old Santee Canal Park. We are coming down on Sunday and staying at the Oak Plantation Campground. I figure we will head up to the park about 9am on Monday.

They also have a viewing party in mt pleasant. that would be our plan b.
