South Carolina’s most visited state park, Hunting Island State Park located just outside of Beaufort, has sustained quite a bit of damage from storms over the last few years, but the park is back in grand fashion. It’s easy to see why visitors and locals alike remain loyal to this coveted stretch of beach just off the coast. For the most part, the park has bounced back from the major upheavals found in the wake of the various storms. And the campground is among the amenities that you’ll want to check out.

In spite of the damage, all seems to be right again with the campground located on the northern end of the island.

The storms may have trimmed out some of the trees, but the upside is: you may have an even better view of the ocean!

The campground here on the northern end of the island is a comfortable distance and just far enough removed from the state park's main attraction. If the tide is right, you can walk down the beach and mingle among the visitors vying for the opportunity to get just the right photo.
