Fort Mountain State Park – 15

Poinsett State Park
9.16.22-9.18.22 When you know the state park manager you can get an escort at midnight to your campsite. Poinsett State Park in Sumter County, SC is about a four-hour drive for us. Conveniently located on the way to our favorite beach campground, it’s a great place to stop and visit friends who live there.

It includes a ten-acre pond, 25 miles of hiking/biking trails, and pre-revolutionary gristmill ruins. The CCC built a bathhouse out of the…
