Charlston cut short

We planned to stay in Charleston until Sunday, to give us a good chance to see everything at a leisurely pace. We had good reports of St James Island County Park Campground so booked in there. The only problem was that the campground was full from Friday onwards. Why? Because The park is the host to a Festival Of Lights, where they lay out millions of lights in all sorts of scenes for Christmas. This is so popular that the campground (which is in the park) is full from 15th Nov until Jan 5th when the display finishes. This meant that we could only stay until Thursday night, double shame really as we would be short of time and miss the Festival of Lights, still we took the booking and duly arrived on Sunday afternoon. It is indeed a very pleasant campground (though very pricy at $39.50 pe night!!! Our most expensive park ever).
