Attention, campers: Good news from Hunting Island

Ten months after Hurricane Matthew, campers will soon return to Hunting Island State Park.

The park’s campground will reopen on Friday, the S.C. State Park Service announced Tuesday afternoon. And sites are available this weekend.

Sites can be reserved by calling 1-866-345-7275 or the park at 843-838-2011. Reservations can also be made online through www.southcarolinaparks.com.

State park officials had hoped to open the new sites earlier in the summer, but weather pushed back the schedule.

The 100 campsites will reopen with improved electrical and water service. Oceanfront campsites lost to the storm aren’t expected to be replaced.
