best tent camping east coast image
Courtney
I'm trying to take a camping trip next week and the place we picked in North Carolina just doesn't seem that great. It's completely isolated on it's own little island. As nice as that sounds, I want to be able to go a store to get food or do something at night.
I would like to be able to literally open up my tent, walk a few feet and be in the ocean. Any suggestions would be great.

Well I believe i know where your talking and yes it is very isolated, I want to try it there myself, but don't have a 4x4 set up to do beach travel yet. It is going to be hard to find a place on the beach that is not over ran with RVs. You might want to check these sites out, you might be able to find what your looking for. If you find a nice place let me know, I might try it. I don't think your going to find a location like the island your talking about. There are just not many places like that one around. Sorry I could not be of more help.

I can't wait to go camping at *Edisto Beach State Park*. SC has some great state parks; we love them. And Edisto Island is my absolute favorite beach. It's quiet, uncrowded and clean, lots of shells and sand. Not tourist-y at all. The state park has beachfront improved camp sites (though they book up VERY fast) and another site across the main road under beautiful oaks with tent sites too. They have a great bike/hike trail (about 4 miles long I believe) that winds through the tree canopy and over the marsh.
We're also putting *Devils Fork State Park* on our list. http://www.southcarolinaparks.com/photo-gallery/default.aspx?ParkId=1355 The lake beach with the mountains in the background is beautiful and there are couple falls nearby. *Table Rock* is another popular state park. And we heard from a friend that *Huntington Island* is another great state beach park. This the state's most visited park and it has an historic lighthouse you can climb. They even have direct sewer hookup if you're going RVing. I've not been but she says it's much closer to "civilization" than Edisto, which is pretty secluded.
I love the Highlands area of NC, esp in summer. The temps are very cool, air is light, very pretty area. You might find some campgrounds around there, maybe near Franklin (Dillard, GA is close too). We camped a couple falls back in Brevard, NC, which has lots of area waterfalls. And the NC area around Boone is very pleasant, imo, though I'm not familiar with any specific campgrounds there. We try to stick with state, national and Corp parks because they seem to respect nature the most. So many private camps are becoming more asphalt and less shade - not my idea of camping.
