Camping in Table Rock

We're back!!! This was our first time in Table Rock and also our first time camping in our new camper. The trip went great! I have to admit when we showed up on Friday evening I wasn't too happy. We get there and had one of the worst sites in the entire park! That's what we get for reserving ahead and not knowing. When we went to check in we were also informed that we weren't allowed to have a fire because of the wildfires burning in Myrtle Beach. Apparently all of our firemen are there. So I was a little peeved. Things did get better though. They allowed us to drive around and find a site we liked and let us move without charging us a fee. So I then was happy! Friday night was basically setting up and going to bed because we got there so late. Saturday comes and time to get out and see what Table Rock has to offer. First plan....Lets go check out the hiking trails. Oh man, great, great, great idea! We had so much fun and Keagan was such a champ. We hiked a mile up the mountain and Keagan hung in there the entire way. We passed so many natural waterfalls and beautiful trees and flowers. After a while we stopped for a snack and with a full belly and a mile uphill behind him-Keagan fell asleep and we carried him taking our time getting back down the mountain. Later on we decided to rent a canoe and check out the lake. We fished but never caught anything. ;P Still fun though. The view from the boat was amazing! After our busy day we went back to the campsite and pretty much just hung out the rest of the time. We made due with no campfire....even though that was missed! We packed up this morning, headed out, stopped for our famous BIG breakfast, and made it back home all in one piece. The camper held up like a champ! And the entire weekend was great. It was really neat seeing the differences of camping on a lake and in the mountains. Such a different atmosphere.
