The Oaks at Point South, South Carolina
I don't even know where to begin with this campground. It is a Thousand Trails park so that we figured it was nice enough to book for a week giving us time to visit Savanah, Georgia and Charleston, South Carolina. Because of a visit to the hospital in Florida, we cut two days off the front of our stay, then after getting there, we cut two more days off of the end of our stay. We stuck it out for three days so that we had time to spend a day in Savanah and a day in Charleston. Both cities are beautiful and worth a long visit, but not while at this campground which is halfway between the two cities. When we arrived at The Oaks, it was flooded. A lot of the campsites were underwater and not usable. Some were underwater and had RV in them. A few like ours had enough gravel that we could get in and out of the coach without swimming. But if you stepped off the gravel... (like when I hooked up my utilities) you sank in the muck. With so much standing water, the mosquitoes ruled the day preventing you from staying outside longer than necessary. There are RV's that have been there for years rotting away, some partially covered with plastic tarps. The lady who worked in the office was very friendly but seemed clueless to the condition of the park. When we asked about it, she said that the park was located in the "lowlands" and that was to be expected. (We drove to the KOA park next door and it was very nice) One positive note, the small pool was well maintained and looked inviting. Thousand Trails needs to do a lot more than just adding gravel to this park. We will never return there.
While we were there we drove an hour south to Savanah and took a free walking tour of part of the city. The young lady that was giving us and four others the tour was very knowledgeable about the city and its history. I can't say enough about how beautiful the city is. The squares, parks, and buildings are amazing. We definitely want to return and spend more time in the city. The stairs in this photo were typical of the many row houses throughout the city. I can't express enough my good impression of this city. The following day we drove an hour north to Charleston. It too has a fascinating history, only we didn't do a tour. (next time we need too) We walked down Market St. then turned onto "Rainbow Row" (a street lined with colored row houses) At the end of the street was a seawall that paralleled some of the nicest biggest homes that I've seen. This led us to White Point Gardens, a public garden beside the water that offers paved paths, military statues, canons & picnic areas. At the southern tip of the gardens is Oyster Point where locals gather daily to fly large Confederate flags (and other flags as well) in protest of something. I'm not sure what though. The people on the other side of the street protesting the protesters told us that it was because 12 years ago South Carolina removed the Confederate flag from the capital building. However, I think there is more too the story than that.
