    Thanks. I will have to go for a test run before coming back with the boys.

      The spots I was referring to aren't part of the state park; just beaches on marsh islands out in the bay.

        Got it. I have been looking at GoogleEarth. We may plan to stay at one of the cabins in the park the next day. One night on the island and one in the cabins.

        Thanks

          Thanks
          Too be fair the distance from the park to what looks like protected water isn't far and access to a shower wouldn't hurt. But I think having a small fire on the beach with buds and beer would be killer.

            I was almost killed by gnats there last year at 2 pm in the afternoon on a warm summer day. I stepped off the road for one second and they swarmed me.

            I also saw a dead 7" speckled trout floating belly up in the canal - gnats, mosquitoes???

            Be careful.

              Don't know much about the area your planning to camp. But it doesn't take much for low footprint overnight kayak trips. Everything should fit inside the hull depending on your kayak. small tent, sleeping bag, a way to filter water and make food and you're set. A buddy and I did 3 nights on the Shenandoah last year early in the season. With multiple layers of clothing and a pair of waders we were able to fit everything we needed in a few back packs. It was a tight fit, but dry clothes took up most of our space.

                I saw some pictures from the area and it doesn't look like fire wood will be available on those sand bars near James island. I have a gas burner to attach to a propane bottle and a stand but won't keep me warm or roast fish.
