The pads at McDowell are various sizes. they list the size on their website when booking. Our tent is 12'x17' and it has fit on all of them we have stayed at. check out the link below. it is their webpage and in the description it notes the pad size as well as proximity to bathrooms and water.

thanks for the comment. we appreciate it. We are getting some new stuff ready soon. Here is the link to the SC state park book - southcarolinaparks.com/travel-tools/parks-guide

We have never regretted it. One time we had some neighbors in a 30ft pull trailer tell us that we had more stuff in that tent than they had on their rig. Lol. So I guess it has to be big for all of our junk. Thanks so much for watching!

@@letsgoadventures5270 How is your set up when a big summer storm hits ? Does it hold op ok ? Also , do you have a small AC unit for it ?

Wow that’s should be a nice trip! It’s going to be hot but hopefully you will enjoy some of the ocean breeze. Safe travels!!

do I need bring an adaptor to transfer 30amp to 15amp electrical plug? thanks

Thanks! We are all about chilling and enjoying our space and nature when camping. I am getting the camping itch now that winter is coming to an end.

Haha thanks! We were surprised we liked it so much!

Thanks for viewing! Not sure if you’ve checked out a park map but they have a number of full hookup with sewer sites. That’s probably your first choice. I have a link to it below for reference. (FYI sewer sites are in white) We stayed in 65a and had a decent pull trailer beside us in 65 and across from us in 66. There was plenty of room. You can see it in the video around us. (They didn’t have sewer though) If you’re going to the beach, those sites around the front right side of the campground ( 1-15, 25-39, 65-84) are closest to the beach access point. Bring a folding wagon w big wheels if you’re gonna take stuff into the beach. It makes everything easier. Lastly call the park and talk to them about what you want to do and they will help you reserve to a good spot. The staff there is really good and helpful.

yikes it must be a narrow pole, my suggestion is to look for "jump rings" and tie the cord to the jump ring. they are used in jewelry making. You need one that is just a few sizes larger than the hole in the pole.

it is true during the summer. you have to go before May and after labor day so you and your pooch can goto the beach.

Honestly, i was under the impression that when the pole breaks, its pretty much done and the ferrules are for use in the field when trying to make a makeshift pole or shaft out of a limb or something.

Our campsite was pretty close to the ocean. The walk was maybe about a football field and a half and all paved until you reach the dunes. We brought our own wood but I think it was about $5. I think the nightly rate was $50 or $55 per night.

You may need to stretch the string or buy longer elastic shock cord.

@@letsgoadventures5270 i did and it worked perfectly.

Woohoo great news!

I found so helpful this video, but I have a doubt ...how long the shock cord really is ? In the kit package says 11.25 ' , in other hand on specifications at Walmart website says 45'. So I'm not sure if would be enough cord to fix my tent pole.
