Charleston - day 3

Officially we were west of the city of Charleston and in James Island. We camped at the county park. They have a regular RV park, but many places on the south do not allow you to camp in your car unless it is RV certified. Can't find a reason why, but we cannot sleep in our van like we usually do. This is not the first place this was the rule. So we tented and all of the sites were walk in which means you park in the field or parking lot and carry your stuff to your site. Fortunately our site was not very far and the sites are pretty nice. This park had a lake, large (5 mile) walking track around it, outdoor adventure area, and splash zone for kids. After cooking breakfast at our camp, we got ready to go to Folly Beach. Folly Beach is a cute little beach town with a pier, restaurants, and the usual souvenir shops. We walked on the beach, took a swim - the water was remarkably warmer than expected - had a drink at the pier, then took another walk on the beach again. It was a perfect relaxing day after so many days of touring or driving. On our way back we stopped at Cuco's raw seafood restaurant. You pick the fresh fish that you want and they cook it to your liking. I had a crab cake and Jeff had swordfish. Back at camp we enjoyed a fire before retiring for the night.Read more
