Sweetwater Campground
St. Matthews, SC
We were singing that song again today, "On the Road Again..." We departed Fletcher, North Carolina traveling I-26 into South Carolina. The Welcome Center as you enter South Carolina was closed but it was too soon for a rest break anyway. About 60 miles down the road we found a huge rest area with loads of parking and nice green grass for me to visit. It was a true coffee break complete with molassas cookies for the guys, one of those delicious, crisp, sweet apples for Momma and cookie bones for me. Ahhh! We know how to travel!!
Did you notice the warm jackets? Dad looked at the dash readout and cheered...74 degrees.....until he realized that was the inside cab temperature. But it did make it to 51 outside and if you stayed in the sun with a warm wrap and a hot cup of coffee, it wasn't all that bad for us southerners. Our destination today is Sweetwater Campground in St. Matthews, South Carolina. We had just departed from a campground that had a $10 charge if you arrived too early ....before 1pm... and a site escort.
On the far end of the spectrum, you have Sweet Water Campground.....totally laid back...with signage to greet you at any time of the day. No reservations; first come, first served.
The setting looked inviting with the lake on the right and long back in spots on the left marked by the electric/water posts. Sorry, no sewer here.
As we walked down the driveway, we came to the campground owner's home
As Momma walked back up the driveway toward our rig, she looked off to the right behind the campsites and noticed the locals. A couple of donkeys.
And one proceeded to put on a great show scratching his back on the sandy ground.
"Ahhh, that felt so good!!"
One of the reasons, well, really the main reason why we chose this campground was the close proximity to our friends Ted and Colleen. More about that in the next episode of our adventures....
