looks like I am a 5-6 hour drive from Hunting Island, plus gas stops, running late, license stops, walmart stops, and no breakdowns,,,, so if I am lucky I will leave around 9 pm thursday

on second thought I will try to leave in the afternoon, maybe after lunch on thursday

what are others plans coming from the anderson/clemson area, anyone able or want to convoy down. pm me your possible schedule and we'll see what we can coordinate,
 
Prices are mostly all inclusive. All but one provided everything but food and drinks.

I.E. fuel. fishing gear, licenses, etc...

The offshore only had anything about cleaning the catch, but inshore, it's no problem.

Also, don't forget, there's also a dock at Hunting Island for fishing, crabbing, shrimping, etc...
 
I emailed the ranger at the Island, here is what I emailed and what I got back, I deleted any non relevant info.

I can bring the turkey fryer, and will try to bring some firewood,,,,,



Thank you for your inquiry,



1 – In the primitive/group camping areas there are grills as well as fire rings for your use. A propane cooking device is allowed, as long as it is something that can be hand carried back into the camping area.

2 – Yes, campfires are allowed as long as they are contained within the fire rings provided.

3 – There are alligators on the park as well as lots of other wildlife. You are not likely to encounter any alligators in the salt-water areas on the park as they tend to frequent the fresh water. We don’t often see people snorkeling as the visibility underwater is limited. Here is the exact text from our brochure:

“To ensure that your State Park experience is enjoyable, please be aware of the dynamic characteristics of the natural environment. There are some areas that may be potentially hazardous. All visitors should exercise caution when visiting any state park. Anyone who is unsure about possible hazards should contact a Park Ranger”. If you have any questions about specific areas of the park once you arrive, please contact one of the Rangers.

4- As long as you are not fishing from a boat, a fishing license is not necessary on the park. If you are on a boat, then whatever South Carolina permit requirements are in place would apply.

Let us know if you have any more questions.

Does the group campground have grills for public use, is it ok to bring a "turkey fryer" type of propane cooking device?



Are campfires allowed at the group campground?



the website says there are alligators, and other wildlife, is the area safe and favorable for kids to go snorkeling?



is fishing, shrimping, and crabbing allowed with the appropriate state permits?
 
Charleston this weekend

I was in Charleston and bought a new cast net this weekend (labor day) thought I would give it a try. Caught a few shrimp along with this guy.

We have family day @ College of Charleston the same weekend of UC Shrimp / Crab. I might make it Thurs and Friday though.

yeah those things are like ticks on a dog around here....i grew up and lived on intercoastal waterway on Wadmalaw Island until three years ago.....loved it.....threw nets for shrimp every year and filled our freezer......plus trout, flounder, sharks, etc.

you guys are going to have a blast....sorry I am missing it.
 
Hanna

Just looks like Hanna got some new firewood ready for the boil!!!:)
 
Also planning a poker run on Sat
This will give everyone a chance to see the park and also get the cruisers seen around the park.
Should be fun. Last card will be at the LIGHTHOUSE !!
Everyone should pay the $2.00 and go up (178 stairs) well worth it
 
I've got an issue. I'm planning on going down Thursday. I want to take the boat. But I only have the 80 to tow it with. The 80 has 220k on it. Thats a lot of miles. It's a five hr trip. Becca is going to be following me down. If I break down I will have backup. But Becca has to be in Savannah Sunday for work and is staying until Tuesday. So that means I would be taking the boat and Josie back home. It could get a little sketchy if I have an issue. I really want to bring the boat. I think with mine and Jeremy's we could get a lot of people out on the water and experience what crabbing and shrimping is all about.

Anybody have any suggestions?
 
I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but I will be coming back to G'ville Sunday evening and I'll bring a hitch if you want to caravan back. What ball?

I left a lengthy message but basically it looks like my brake job turned into a NEEDED knuckle job,, and I am waiting on parts, if they dont get here in tie, I will drive the 96 f 150 2wd king cab with 7 pin and 2" ball,,,

the truck can actually be better as I can bring more firewood and it is easier to load,,,

how many peple are coming? and what is the hook up plan for the caravan?
i got some different fishing gear,,,
I will register tomorrow. or the first,, nothing like waiting until the last minute huh?

Campground is BOOKED SOLID

I called the CG today and they now allow reservations on all 170 sites so they are booked. They use to have 50/50 to allow for first come first serve. Not any more.
I need to take my camper because I am bringing our dog. The wife and older daughter are going to Charleston for the weekend. (i got out of that trip).


What a dilemma?

Group camp can hold lot's of people. No problem there. Camper will be an issue though since you have to walk to get to group camp.
