Your next step
Cherry Hill Recreation Area (Sumter NF) takes rigs up to 35 ft, so what you arrive in decides whether the loop works at all. If you don't own one, the same trip runs on a motorhome rented in South Carolina.
Nothing in South Carolina is bookable today. Dated requests are what we take to owners, so give us the window you actually want — you get one email the day a rig covers it, and nothing else.
