I have made my reservations for Feb
11 - Feb 15 2021, Presidents Day weekend @ Edisto Beach State Park, Edisto
Island, SC. on the beach loop (not Live
Oak)
Make reservations now! The campground fills up quickly. Do not plan on being able to book a site a
couple months in advance.
Reservations at state parks may be
made up to 13 months in advance. There are two convenient ways to make
reservations at South Carolina State Parks: Call toll free 1-866-345- (7275)

Restroom facilities with hot showers
are available. Each site has electrical and water hookups. If you've never been
camping near the beach in winter, this is your big chance! Edisto Island State
Park is the jewel in the crown of South Carolina State Parks! There is a lot of
respect for nature’s beauty in the campground itself and the sites are well
planned with native plants providing screening from site to site in some areas
(perfect for busses) and more open areas for larger motor homes (or lots of
busses). The beach itself is easily accessed from the road over the marsh and
the magic of the interplay between the two worlds of sea and land is even more
fascinating when the sun sets further north. Sometimes the wind isn't even cold
(it is blowing from Africa)! So, even though the days are shorter, they are no
less enjoyable. There is kayaking in the salt marsh and there are trails over
the bridge inland from the park. There are a number of historic homes on the
island, including Cassina Point which dates from the 1700’s as a plantation and
several churches which date from that time period as well. There were rum
runners in the twenties and there are plenty of stories about their comings and
goings on the island even today. Low Country lore abounds and it is easy to
imagine the Native Americans moving amongst the palmettos and hear their
whispers in the movement of the salt grass or to hear the far off songs of the
people working in the rice fields. There is timelessness in the rhythm of the
tides and the wind that is intensified when there are fewer people about. So now is the time to join us in
celebrating the Edisto Freeze Yer Toe camp out on Edisto Island!
Due To COVID:
There will be no community meal or
raffles. As the raffle proceeds have
always gone to the Pet Helpers Charity, I ask that you still donate as they
have been hit hard by this pandemic as well with more people surrendering their
pets. You can either donate directly to https://pethelpers.org/donate/
or give to me and I will make a consolidated donation.
The theme this year is Maskuerade so
please wear one when you are gathered together.
Enjoy the beach and the solitude.
