Although I enjoyed my two weeks
at Dreher Island State Park when I first got here, since I knew
I'd be in the Columbia area for a few months in order to work with
my brother, I wanted full hookups. I was a bit concerned when I
saw how few RV parks there are in the area. I was really concerned
when I saw that the most convenient one for me was located right
off Hwy. 1 in back of a flea market. That just didn't sound like
my kind of place, so I almost didn't even check it out. I'm so glad
I did, because it turned out to be a great place and much better
than its location sounds like.

lucked out and wound up with the best site in the park, in my opinion.
G21 is a large, deep set site with a bank of trees on one side and
lots of room on the other side between neighbors. The pretty pine
trees in the back adds a nice touch, too. I took this picture toward
the end of my stay in February, so the grass was in hiding. |

This is a shot of Row A,
closest to the flea market. This shows how large and long these
sites are for even the largest motor homes towing large trailers
(of stuff to sell at the flea market?)

took this picture when I was first checking out the park in September
and the greenery improves the total look of the park, I think. It
was nice when the leaves were changing, too. The site on the right
is A2. |

| This
shot was taken from my site looking down the road toward the flea
market. The building in back of the trailer is one of two laundry
- shower - bathroom buildings which were always clean whenever I checked.
I also appreciated that the price for washing/drying was a very reasonable
$1.00. |

2 cents: A
good argument for not judging a park by your impression of its
location. US 1 is not a huge highway, and the flea market being
between the park and the road buffers the noise. Besides, it
was fun to go check out the stuff for sale on the weekend! Tessa,
the manager, was always a pleasure to visit with and I met some
really terrific other RVers here, too. You just can't beat this
park for convenience when visiting in the Columbia area! |

Directions: From I-20, Exit 58 - Go towards
W. Columbia on US 1 North for approx. 2 miles. Look for sign
on the left and go behind the flea market for the entrance to
the park. From I-26, Exit 111A towards Lexington on US 1 South
for 3 miles. Turn right on Oak Drive and shortly the entrance
to the park is on the left. |
