Christmas 2021- Glamping at Colleton State Park #2

In celebrate of Christmas this year, I decided to go glamping at Colleton State Park from 12/24/2021 to 12/26/2021. This would be my second camping trip in 2021. I booked my campsite in October on the South Carolina State Park's website and from then on I added to the camping gear I already had.

I booked site #6 with the help of Youtuber ClemsonFan; their video gives a full tour of all the campsites at Colleton State Park.

Check in was fairly easy. The check in time at Colleton is 12:00PM, but I arrived at 4:00 with only 1.5 hours to spare before sundown. I drove into the campground; on the right is the visitors center/office/gift shop. From then I made a right and followed the campsite numbering. Shortly after I arrived, the Park Ranger (Andrew) drove to my campsite to greet me, gave me a campground pass to hang in my window, told me a little about the campground and answered my questions.

My brother Robert and his friend Taylor helped me setup my site. By the time I got settled it was dark so I watched Netflix and cooked dinner.

The restroom/showers were centrally located at the beginning of the campground; it was 3 basic stalls (including one handicap stall) with 2 showers.

On Christmas day my mom paid me a visit and we walked down to the Edisto River and explored the campground a little. Overall the weather was really nice. Christmas eve was the coldest out of the 3 days I stayed. I brought along my heater to put in my tent at night, having a heater made it so comfortable at night.

Campground #2 out of 47 completed (Givhans Ferry State Park was the first SC State Park I camped at in June 2021, I didn't document it).

On to the next adventure!

Bangin Vegan Eats Food Truck- Charleston, SC

I've been following Banging Vegan Eats on Instagram for a while, so I told myself the next time they're near me I would give them a try. On Sunday they were parked outside of the Westbrook Brewing Company in Mount Pleasant, SC. I was attending a sound bathing session on Sullivans Island later that day, so this was the perfect time to indulge. I placed my order at the food truck window for the Hunny Garlic Bangers. My order was ready in less than 10 minutes. Fried breaded cauliflower drenched in a agave garlic sauce topped with a ginger sriracha aioli and scallions. Firm and crunchy on the outside, soft firm texture in the inside. This was a 10/10, definitely recommend. The wings were so good I did a little research and decided to order the Mac Attack Fries. This order was place online through the street food finder app. These fries had so many levels of flavor. Seasoned fries topped with mac n cheeze that good good ranch, buffalo sauce and scallions. My portion was big enoug...
