We bought this Airstream in 2022 as an old shell. It was junky and a mess, and not much in it other than old scraps and junk. We renovated it in 2022 and 2023, and turned it into a cozy, midcentury modern style Glamper. We tried to plan for every comfort you could want or need, from wifi and a smart TV, to a cute bathroom, Keurig and an Air Fryer. We hope you love it as much as we do. Please note, it is tight quarters, especially for more than two people and large framed people. For this reason, we only allow two guests. We live on a busy street, but the backyard is peaceful and serene. The airstream is parked next to our creek, where waterfowl abound. Only one vehicle allowed.

The best camping in Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor, SC guide

Overview

About

Stretching down the Atlantic coast, this Heritage Corridor has a ton of historical sites. The area begins in Wilmington, North Carolina, and ends in Florida.

See some American Revolution history at Moores Creek National Battlefield. This battlefield museum commemorates a key battle. The Battle of Moores Creek was the first victory for the rebels. There is also the Bellamy Mansion Museum and the Poplar Grove Plantation. Both date back to America's slave days and host tours that examine that painful period.

South Carolina also has its share of museums that explore the plantation era. McLeod Plantation in James Island and Boone Hall in Charleston offer tours. The Avery Research Center features exhibits about the slave experience.

If you'd rather delve into nature, stop by Ravenel's Caw Caw Interpretive Center. Here they focus on the science of South Carolina's wetlands. Stroll through elevated boardwalks and see alligators in their natural habitats.

Moving south to Georgia, check out Cumberland Island. It's the largest barrier island off Georgia's coast and reachable only by ferry. Minimal amenities make this a great place to find solitude.

Georgia's Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge is a mecca for nature lovers. The area controls the animal population with limited hunting for deer and feral pigs.

Florida's Corridor segment has a combination of nature and history in Fort Mose State Park. This site sits on land that was the first free-slave settlement in the future U.S. An interactive museum leads history buffs through the settlement's story. There is also bird watching, paddling, and geocaching at Fort Mose.
