Hunting Island State Park South Carolina camping with an ocean

November 26th through December 2nd, Hunting Island South Carolina. We left Shenandoah Crossings on the 25th and stayed in a Wallmart parking lot for the night, got an early start and drove down to Hunting Island South Carolina. Our site has a beautiful view of the beach with the morning sunrise out the front of the motor home. The area has some remnants of the hurricanes but is on the mend. Lots of beautiful beach walks and bike trail riding, climbed the lighthouse and sat on the shore one day.
Sunrise view from our campsite.


The beach is beautiful and sandy for about 3 miles then it gets littered with hurricane debris.  From May to October no light is allowed on the beach while the sea turtles are busy laying eggs.  
The lighthouse from 100 yards back, outside is cast iron panels with a brick liner. 
On the steps of the lighthouse before hiking up to the top.

This is one of the views from the top of the Hunting Island Lighthouse, it dates back to pre-civil war. Lots of history about the lighthouses and there keepers

A little technical information on the lighthouse.


This is some of the hurricane mess left on the beach, little creepy at times.
