This is the one in which we are finally convinced that a weekend just ain't long enough for a camping trip... 😞 Dreher Island State Park is another little gem in the roster of South Carolina state parks, and was a welcome opportunity to break out of our kinda-sorta local camping "rut" we'd been in for most of the year. Situated on three small islands in Lake Murray, just above Columbia, SC, the park is a great choice for both RV campers and tent campers. Come along and see what little bit of fun we were able to find in just a short weekend!

Oh, we promise that, If we weren't wage-slaves, we'd venture out a little farther than SC/GA, but that money thing, y'know...? 🤣 Glad you liked this video! Thanks so much for watching!

I love watching you 2 you are so funny especially the hiking we will go song. Beautiful park too. The weather liked nice too. I wanted to Wuxi you both a Happy Thanksgiving. I just found this video. Glad I did I was laughing.I’m still praying you you get a full time job. It’s hard when we have this Covid. When there is a Will there should be a way. I hope you both had a wonderful Thanksgiving. And hope you have a great weekend. See you soon’ Stay safe and travel safe.

Aw, shucks! ☺️ We're blushing now! We're so glad you're getting some enjoyment out of our looney-ness. Thank you for your well-wishes, too! The next step in Smokey's career MUST be just around the corner... at least that's what we keep telling ourselves... 🙄 We sure hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful! Keep checking in on us!

Love that Gamecock hat. We booked Dreher Island for Memorial Day weekend 2022. I use to tent camp there with the church back in my younger years but haven't been back since then. We live in Lexington so not too far away. Can't wait. Love ya'lls channel.

@LiveNLearnRV 3 года назад

Oh, yeah - that's pretty much in your backyard! We liked it there a lot, too, as you can tell from our wishing we could've had some more time there. We'll surely be back! Thanks for watching!

@BikesBoatsBivouacs 3 года назад

Glad to see the new video on state park campground. Loved Jessie's tree napping hammock. A lot of the state parks in PA can't handle rigs larger than 30' with many at 25'. I guess when the older campgrounds were built back in the day, large rigs weren't plentiful. Looked like a nice get away. Ah...the time struggles of the weekend warriors!

@LiveNLearnRV 3 года назад

You can sympathize about the weekends-thing!! While we were on that walk-around-the-loop, we saw a dude whip a 38-foot 5th-wheel into a spot, and we about had a heart attack! The term "threading the needle" came to mind... 😳

As always, thanks for the video! We've gone to many SC State Parks, but have yet to be able to get a spot at Dreher Island, and it's only 45 minutes from us. Looks like a great place. Love the new intro....loved the speedy drive to the park scenes....not digging Jessie's hat at the end, though haha. Praying for a permanent job solution for you soon. Take care!

@LiveNLearnRV 3 года назад

Thanks a bunch, Lee! We're hearing a lot about how hard it is to get into Dreher Island, but we must've just lucked out. We did book about nine months in advance, so that might've been the trick.

@TerryX2Explore 3 года назад

Nice site - so close to the lake! Weekends definitely are not long enough..... I can't wait until we are full-time. 😃 Masks - I hear ya!! Nice to see others having goofy fun in their videos - for awhile, I thought we might be the only ones! 😀👍🤘 Nice tour, guys!

We are considering selling the mini Winnie and getting a 2507s soon. It's on our very short list anyway. I currently have an older ram 3500 srw diesel but that will also be upgraded soon. Couple questions. Do you worry about over loading the trailer? It's only rated about 1300lbs of cargo, water etc. Does your 1/2 ton feel safe and pull it in hills ok? Is the quality holding up? Most importantly are you still happy with your decision? Thanks for the videos.

@LiveNLearnRV 3 года назад

We've never boon-docked, so we've never carried fresh water, and as such, we haven't worried about going over the trailer's payload. With this year being such a financial disaster for us, we haven't traveled far enough to test our half-ton Tundra on mountains, so we can't speak on that issue. Those two points aside, we're still thrilled with ours. It's the perfect size for us, and our Tundra does the job we've asked of it just fine so far.

@DT-kr1km 3 года назад

@@LiveNLearnRV - thanks for the reply. This has been a rough year for a lot of people and it might make our retirement plans have some changes we didn't want even with such careful planning. Added to that we are also concerned about the turmoil with politics possibly causing us added expenses. But we're still hoping and dreaming because after 45 years of busting my behind I'm ready. Keep the faith!!

@cirestamey9243 3 года назад

Independence Day is prime time for camping at Dreher Island because of the firework show (they still had it last summer during the pandemic). It sells out a year in advance.

@LiveNLearnRV 3 года назад

We've heard about the fireworks display over Lake Murray before. There's a similar thing over our direction, on Lake Thurmond. It's the sorta stuff that makes us wish we had a boat!

Hi, can you recommend a good RV park / campground just off of 95 south ? I will be heading south to Florida next weekend and looking for a place to stop in SC ..

@LiveNLearnRV 3 года назад

We don't have any first-hand experience with it, but we've seen/heard reports of the RV campground at South of the Border being pretty nice. I'd imagine it'd be perfectly fine as a "stop-over" as you're headed down (or back up) I-95.
