Help Us Escape The Busy Life
 
We are planning a 2 week driving vacation to South Carolina. We have a travel trailer that we will be staying in and could use some information on "Good" camping resorts that has full hookups. We have 3 girls that are 17,13&12.
We always try to do something that is educational as well.
My husband and girls are really into history.
(War, Airplanes and info on Slavery)
I just want a quite a beach away from everyone.
We camp so we can have more quality time with the kids.
We have considered Charleston for History and are searching for a good beach area. We had considered Myrtle Beach however, I worry that it may be to crowed. Litchfield is another option. The girls like to have tourist shops nearby and I would like to have that available as well.
We plan on taking our trip in Mid June. What will the weather be like at time?

Your post was quite lengthy but it seems your only question was about the weather. If that's the case , the weather in South Carolina in June should be just about right for vacationing. It's the beginning of summer so it won't be too hot or sticky.

I am also looking for a camping resort.

Kiawah beach near Charleston is beautiful.

The middle of June will be very hot and humid and crowded in South Carolina. Traveling inland will be miserable so stay on the coast.

Camping resorts: Edisto Beach State Park, Huntington Beach State Park (Litchfield/Pawleys), Ocean Lakes Campground (MB), Pirateland (MB), Apache (MB) are a few that come to mind.

Make reservations NOW or you might not get in a campground. June is peak season.

Edisto is nice but I don't remember even one "beach shop" for the girls. The beaches are also covered with shells, which is nice for beachcombing but hard on the tootsies!

My suggestion is Edisto Beach State Park...beautiful island/beach, not as crowded as Myrtle (though it is to us locals in June!), close enough to Charleston for a day trip or 2 for dining/shopping, & some nice local shops with art, jewelry, etc. The gift shop on the pier is a more like a beach shop with t-shirts & knick-knacks. Also, the new State Park Education Center should be open then.

I second Memee's suggestion.

We stayed at Kiawah beach last July/August in the most opressive heat, but the breeze from the sea made things much more comfortable. We really enjoyed our time Kiawah Island Inn - it was a beuatiful resort, we had perfect beach weather and it certainly was not overcrowded.

She's not asking for a hotel she's asking for an RV park. Kiawah isn't going to fit the bill.
