I didn't find anything special about this stop. The people were friendly enough and they accommodated my request to be moved from a fishing dock (where at least a half-dozen fishermen scrambled to get their multiple lines out of the water on my approach) to a floating dock between two other transient boats. But the new spot had no power (which was included in the price). They charge a 3% fee for credit card use. The place was dog friendly, which is important to me. The restaurant was still closed for the season -- this was March 2023. There are no provisions in the store and nothing at all near the marina/campground. Easy in, easy out. I only spent one night and then got on my way.

This was a great stop. The people were wonderful. Super friendly. The marina was very easy to get into. It was a great stop between Charleston and NC for us. Only downfall the food at the bar was not good. Plan to cook your own food. There was a bar on site as well. We will stop again.

This is a unique marina with an adjacent RV campground. It worked out great because I met a friend who brought his restored 1973 GMC motor home and stayed a couple nights during my stop in mid-June 2022.

There is NOTHING nearby so come with your boat provisioned. Transients are put on a very high lay along dock. Small boats like my Ranger Tug may find it difficult getting on/off.

There are a couple boater/RVer only code access bathrooms. Showers are in trailer bathrooms that also serve the on-property bar. They were fair at best. I elected to shower on my boat.

The marina is located right on the ICW and most boats honored the "No Wake" zone.

Stopped May 2021 and found they're in the middle of a major expansion. They are currently as much an RV park as a marina but was told the expansion will include a full service boat yard with a large Travelift. Meanwhile good service, clean restrooms and showers and a friendly staff.
