We are back again and one change is evident from our previous review....there is now high speed Wi-Fi in the park at no additional charge. It is still not an ideal place for younger children as there are no activities or playground for them however it is great for us 'older folks' that enjoy the peace and quiet. The TV reception, now that digital has taken over is better than before however in bad weather the reception does suffer....satellite users should not have any problems and there are a few dishes set up for Direct and Dish that can be used by subscribers.

Our second trip to Shumans and better than the first. The campground is very quiet, well kept and well situated for day trips to Charleston (45 minutes) and Savannah (75 minutes). There are no bath/toilet facilities so you must be self contained. The water is of excellent quality (a very deep well) and runs 28 t0 40 lbs pressure. 2 things to keep in mind...there are no facilities on site to amuse children and the electricity is top quality , never dropping below 125 volts in my experience so startup of the AC is never a problem. We have stayed there on and off all winter and have found the area rich in history (many museums and displays in the area) and wildlife (ie the Biedler Forest Audubon display near Harleyville and the Colleton State Park across the street)) The Shumans are wonderful generous hosts, live on site, and represent true southern hospitality at its best. An added benefit is a propane filling station on site. The only reason I can't give it a "10" is the lack of wireless internet access (they are considering that for later 2009) and the aforementioned 10 mile drive to Walterboro or St. George for groceries.

Great view and very quiet. Especially nice at night as the stars are clear due to no streetlights We found it to be ideal for our purposes as it was conveniently located to make day trips to Big Bend and the MacDonald Observatory as well as the University. The owner was very pleasant and helpful and lives within view of the CG. It had one long term resident and the remaining sites were used by travellers for short term stays. It is at an altitude of one mile and that is 1000 foot climb from Alpine. The only caveat I can think of is that it would not be a great place for children who are accustomed to being entertained as there is no playground pool or cable TV. We will go back there for sure.
