Comfort Inn St. George, South Carolina RV Park

After driving all day and getting cranky on our month long travel trailer trip we decided on one in St. George, South Carolina. I called and was not pleasantly received. They do not take reservations; have one back in site, and the cost was $27.00.

Comfort Inn located at 139 Motel Drive (843-563 4180) has a 25 site "campground" in the back. Actually we have stayed at worse. We have stayed in parking lots. Comfort Inn's RV Park's sites have a little grass between each site and have woodsy/marshy surroundings on two sides. One side is right below the highway and the other side is a major road in St. George.

The first site was the drive through. It was nice and long but the electricity was 50 amp and we didn't want to use the next site's electricity even though the place was pretty much empty. So we moved and I went to the office to tell Elizabeth what site we had chosen and pay. I learned that the campground doesn't take AAA like the motel and that the continental breakfast is only offered for the motel guests. She then told me that for $5.50 two of us could get a meal ticket for the breakfast. She wasn't nice at all.

I went back to the site and took a picture of the pool that is closed since we are out of season and the interesting - umm I don't know exactly what it is but it seems that one unit lives there and has this wagon as its screen house. (See the picture of the candy wagon.)

A neighbor pulled in next to us and we talked about the electricity not working. We decided it was our site's problem because we plugged into our neighbor's 20 amps which would have been adequate but wouldn't allow the microwave or air conditioning to be on at the same time.

Still we had electricity but you don't mess with me. I went back to the office. Elizabeth thought we were leaving so she gave me a refund and then realized we weren't so I told her to just refund me the electricity part. (That is not so unusual. Some campgrounds have separate fees for sewers, water and electricity.) Considering we had neither picnic table (not that anyone would want to picnic listening to the Mack trucks!) nor fire ring this was really a $13.00 a night place. There are no amenities for children other than the pool.

In addition a train that runs all night is not just behind the campground but actually within its borders. We are used to trains because they are often where campgrounds are; however, we never had one that sounded as if it were running right next to us (which it actually was).

I would never stay here again though the bathroom was clean but too warm.
