Trip recap: October WV/NC Mountains loop
Hello! Because I’ve been so behind on writing posts about our May loop around the Carolinas, I didn’t bother to write a planning post for our October trip, so here’s the planning and recap all at once! We had plans with friends in the West Virginia mountains in early October, so used that as an…

One night in Asheville, NC (visit #18)–May Carolinas loop
We visited Asheville in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. Read alllll of our other Asheville posts here. We spent the final night of our May trip in our favorite close-to-home RV destination, Asheville, an easy 40-minute drive north from Brevard. With just one night in the city, we focused on our standard…

Two nights in Brevard, NC–May Carolinas loop
We visited Brevard in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. After a lovely two days in Bryson City, we drove an easy 1.5 hours back east to Brevard, 40 minutes south of Asheville and hilariously to us, just 20 minute up the road from Lake Toxaway. Brevard’s draw for us was its…

Two nights in Bryson City, NC–May Carolinas loop
We visited Bryson City in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. Bryson City is a small town tucked up into the mountains an hour west of Asheville, 20 minutes west of Sylva, 40 minutes north of Franklin, and 1.5 hours northwest from our last stop, Lake Toxaway. We absolutely loved it! Bryson…

Two nights in Lake Toxaway, NC–May Carolinas loop
We visited Lake Toxaway in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. Lake Toxaway is an hour due north of Clemson, between Highlands and Brevard in southwestern North Carolina. Our primary reason for visiting was to hike in Panthertown Valley, called by someone the “Yosemite of the East.” While we didn’t necessarily see…

Two nights in Clemson, SC–May Carolinas loop
We visited Clemson in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. Our original trip plan called for a couple more coastal stops, Hilton Head and Tybee Island, before swinging inland to Aiken and then up into the mountains at Clemson. But returning to our Charleston campground, a place we’d loved with Bugsy, was…

One night in Charleston, SC (visit #3)–May Carolinas loop
We visited Charleston in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. Read about our first visit in 2017 here and our second in 2024 here. From Myrtle Beach, it was an easy 2.5-hour drive down to Charleston. We were scheduled to stay for two days, but being there without Bugsy was incredibly hard–and…

One night in Myrtle Beach, SC–May Carolinas loop
We visited Myrtle Beach in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. Flashy Myrtle Beach is an hour-and-a-half drive and a world away from laid-back Oak Island. I hadn’t been since college beach week and had no idea what to expect. We were bracing ourselves a bit for a tacky touristy or obnoxious…

One night in Oak Island, NC–May Carolinas loop
We visited Oak Island in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. In early May, my dad was wrapping up a late-winter hibernation in Southport, NC, so when planning our route down the North Carolina coast we looked for campgrounds in that area. A pleasant 2.5-hour drive south from Atlantic Beach later we…

Trip recap: May Carolinas loop
Forgive us if it takes a while to get back into our normal writing groove. Looking at photos and trip details without Bugsy here makes us sad, but we know we’ll want to be able to reference our travel notes in the future, so we’re trying to get back on that horse. We ended up…
