Savoring the South

Today we moved from Towns Bluff Park to Winfield Campground on the Savannah River in Georgia. This is a pristine Corp of Engineers campground on Strom Thurmond Lake, the largest dammed lake east of the Mississippi.

We like COE campgrounds; they are always on a lake, they most always have large RV sites that are far apart, they accept my National Park Pass for half off the already low price. Our site, with water and electricity costs a whopping $13 per night 😊.

Our site is on a point, surrounded on 3 sides by the lake, no close neighbors, and a huge space. This satellite photo was obviously taken when the lake was very low; it's much higher now. After looking around the campground and all 80 sites (most of which are empty), we definitely got the best spot - we seem to do that a lot. We do not typically reserve ahead; we would much rather pick our site from what's open upon our arrival.
