I also use trip advisor to some extent. We like KOAs for one night stopovers because it’s usually easy to cancel or change dates. With that said, we have also used private campgrounds and state parks for one night stopovers.
We did South Carolina and Georgia last year, and we really enjoyed it. Huntington Beach State Park was a highlight as well as James Island County Park. It was beautiful and centrally located to everything in and around Charleston, Folly Beach, etc. We leave our return trip open in case we see something we want to visit on our return trip.
Make certain to eat at the Charleston Crab House on Market Street. The steamed Dungeness crab was delicious! I hope you have a wonderful trip!

Thanks for the tips and the thumbs up on those SC campgrounds. We have several nights booked at each. We have to move sites each night, but it's a small concession. Also thanks for the word on the restaurant. Although we usually cook most of our own meals, we are certainly planning to have some local seafood too.The Gullah "cuisine" sounds intriguing. No better place than locally to try that out. I hear there are some authentic sources down around Beaufort and Edisto Island, where we will also spend a few days.
Now that it all looks like it will work out, we are getting quite excited for this trip. We did OBX and Ocracoke last spring and had an absolutely fabulous time and some great seafood there too.
We are thinking Savannah, Tybee, and St Augustine for next spring maybe. I'll certainly be making key reservations a lot earlier than I did for this trip.
