South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

Welcome! Where you from?

 

If you like flatter land then the Francis Marion National forest is near you. Plenty of places to explore there and I think you may be able to camp too. If hills are more your speed then there are plenty of places in the upstate (check my sig for the thread links). There's also Uwharrie National Forest in NC. It's open seasonal for offroading and is the go to spot for this group of folks.

 

Hello from John's island! Check out the Francis Marion Forest. It's not true "offroading" unless you venture down some of the more right and atv trails, but there's a couple of camping sites and tons of Forest service roads to drive down . What kind of camping do you like to do? @Boogyman can tell you more about the forests around there since he grew up there. There are campgrounds like buck hall plantation and Huntington Beach state park further north. Plenty of random ones inland too depending on what you want.

 

Moncks Corner is the bomb

just kidding

 

Welcome!

Oh, and this is David. We let him come inside sometimes when it gets too cold out.

 

Thanks. Pensacola, FL originally but I've gotten around the last 12 years.

 

Thanks for the info. I haven't camped in years but I have to get my kids away from screens. I'm hoping to have my truck setup with a RTT next year and have some spots picked out to camp and fish.

 

Well there's tons of great state parks in around here. I'd just start out there and those parks typically have tent pads so an RTT wouldn't necessarily be required. We ground tent camp almost exclusively. https://southcarolinaparks.com/ has most of the details that you'd need, if you find a park you want to check out, ask if anyone's been there from this thread and most likely one of us has and can give you a heads up on good sites and things to do.

 

Speaking of state parks, we’re headed to Lake Wateree at the end of the month. I was thinking of picking this up and was curious the best way to cook it while we were camping. I don’t have a smoker btw

 

I would smoke them, for sure... But since you don't have one -- go buy one. Kidding. Here is what I would do.

Cube them up, oil them up, rub them up, put them flat in a foil pan or two and drizzle with honey. Dust some more rub on top of that. Cover with foil, then put them near your fire close enough to cook, but not over the flames. It will take a few hours, but should come out really tasty. Turn the pan every half hour or so, so all sides get heat.

 

What about using a Dutch oven?

 

Same approach, but it will cook a lot quicker. You could make a pile in the oven and just stir it now and then instead of laying them flat.

Another option:

You might be able to figure out how to rig up a smoke box to something like this. I've looked at these at Lowes, and they're pretty neat. Stout, too.

Someone on here has a portable smoker, and it might be @dan0mite

Dang, that’s nice. We have to upgrade to a full sized propane tank first. Plus, we have to keep an eye on weight for the trailer.

Hell, I was trying to save him a little money.

 

Hi, everybody!

Just joined and introduced myself in the main section and was directed here. I'm resting comfortably in Chesterfield county.

@saundern I glanced back a page and saw where you mentioned Wateree at the end of the month. I'm pulling the camper to the state park the weekend of the 24th. If that's your weekend and you'll be there, maybe I'll run into you.

Thanks!

FIL showed me this. They are visiting from MI on their way to snowbird.
