We are just off of 17N if you are coming from the Charleston Area look for the KOA Sign and Aldi's grocery store and turn right. If you are coming from the Myrtle Beach area - in order to turn into the campground you will have to cross Hwy 17 by turning left. For some campers it maybe easier to go down to the traffic light past Walmart, take a left at the light, then turn left after you pass by Walmart. Follow the road all the way to the stop sign and turn right. Sometimes the trees are a bit lower in this area (Mount Pleasant is in charge of cutting these trees) so if your rig is tall it might cause you some issues.
