The Palmetto State’s Parks System Offers Discount Vacations
Jan 12, 2008
South Carolina’s State Parks are your best friend for a winter break without breaking your budget in 2008.
Imagine a villa deep in a wooded glen and surrounded by Nature’s splendor. Now imagine that scene and tack on a 40% discount sign. Welcome to Devil’s Fork State Park.
Tucked into the northwest corner of the state, the park, near the town of Salem, can be found on the banks of Lake Jocassee. As the only lake in South Carolina with both trophy trout (brown and rainbow) and a small mouth bass it is a popular spot with anglers. Blue Gill and black crappie are other fish residents of the lake.
If your comfort level is more terra firma – Devil’s Fork also offers two hiking trails one named for the springtime blaze of the rare wild flower- the Oconee Bells
The villas offer either 2 or 3 bedroom units and are completely furnished.
The package requires a 3-night minimum and the code DFHD08when making a reservation. The discount applies until March 20, 2008. Also ask about their Valentine’s special available from February 13 – 17th.
On the opposite side of the state - the lowcountry rolls calmly down to the sea.
Givhans Ferry State Park, a lowcountry favorite, lies off the longest blackwater river in the US – the Edisto.
While canoe and kayak fanatics love the water action during all seasons – many enjoy the park’s close proximity to the charm of Charleston and a regional history as rich as the seafood pulled from the waters. Here lies the winter special.
Book 4 consecutive nights, with the code RRHOT at one of the cabins and ask for the Historic Coastal Tour Package. Included are entrance tickets to area historic parks. Among them: Colonial Dorchester, site of a late 17th century trading town on the Ashley River, Charles Towne with its plethora of fun activities like a digital “dig”, an Animal Forest natural habitat zoo and a full sized replica of the ship Adventure and Hampton Plantation. The latter is a Georgian style plantation where famed families of the state, namely the Rutledges, Horrys and Pinckneys, and the African Americans who helped make them wealthy lived and worked for centuries.
Golf is a favorite sport in South Carolina, and the 2-night package at the Cheraw State Park, near the North Carolina border, allows anyone to birdie, bogie and bingo, bango, bango at the 18-hole championship course. Until February 18th, with the code CCHOT35, a 35% discount can be yours.
Myrtle Beach State Park brings the best of the beach year-round. With a two-night minimum and the code CAMPHOT25 a 25% discount can make a Grand Strand vacation even grander.
Walk the beach, walk the pier or walk the lowcountry-wooded trails – your relaxation, at a reduced rate, is assured.
