On this week’s episode of RV Family Travel Atlas, we are taking you to the Low Country and sharing all the details of our amazing trip to Charleston, South Carolina. This region has a dreamy combination of outdoor activities and urban culture, all set against a fascinating historical backdrop.
We reviewed the Campground at James Island County Park on this week’s episode of Campground of the Week.
Now we are giving you the run down of everything else in this top RV destination: beaches, markets, tours, forts, and plantations, plus all the planning resources you need.
You might think RVing is about getting as far away from the city as possible. But we know that urban areas are some of the best RV destinations out there.
This is Episode #87: Greetings from Charleston, South Carolina.
