Thanksgiving Get Together

[depchief]

HelloCarolina Campers! Hope everyone is having a good summer.
There is a new RV Campground, Carolina Pines, opening in Conway, S.C. on July 1st. Location is on S.C. 90, 1 ½ miles south of Highway 22
We are wondering if there would be interest, in going there for our Thanksgiving get together.
There are pull through, back in sites and cottages. The park will have three restaurants, a tiki bar, Water Park, and outdoor pools.
Free shuttle service to beaches and shopping.
All RV sites are full hook up, have concrete patios, picnic tables, and fire rings. Pull through sites are full concrete, back in sites are gravel with the before mentioned concrete patio. Each site is for 6 people and one vehicle. Private golf carts are not allowed. However golf carts are available for rent at $50.00 per day.
Fall rates $57.00 per pull through, $55.00 for a back in. Rally rates would be less per site. They do not charge for a rally, and there are meeting rooms available. Made available at no cost. Reservations would be made individually under the Carolina Campers name. The number of reserved sites based on the amount of interest. The camp ground would set a cutoff date.
Additionally there is a catering service. The restaurant will be serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.
We would be happy to make all arrangements, if there is interest. If there are any other ideas, please comment.
Share these thoughts, especially:
1. Going to Carolina Pines
2. Which weekend. The weekend before or two weekends before Thanksgiving
3. Having the Restaurant cater the Thanksgiving dinner

The RV Resort opened on July 1 as predicted. Phase one is the only section presently with campers. Amenities will come on line as the work is completed. July 15, is a big scheduled date for the water park and restaurant to open.
Speaking with our Events Manager, he tells us they have had very good reception to the facility and expect it to be very successful.
Based on the replies to our original post we have tentatively reserved 20 sites arriving Thursday November 14th leaving Monday the 18th. More to follow on this shortly. Do to the frenzy with the opening we will let it calm down and then get the rates etc. posted.
We really need to know the groups feeling on having a catered Ham and Turkey dinner on Saturday night, prepared by the Resort Restaurant, or do we continue the pot luck dinner we have had in the past. Please reply so we can get a count for dinner or the pot luck. Prices will be based on the number.
Remember the Resort has park models available for rent. If you have friends that would be interested in coming please advise them. We will talk to management about a rate and advise.

That is a weekend that I am off, so count us and the three stooges in. Dinner is either way, but more time to play.

THEN, I realized that we have already planned to go to James island in Charleston for the Festival of Lights the next week, but were not planning to arrive in Charleston until Sunday PM, so if SWMBO approves....
