Special Weather Statement issued January 18 at 11:37PM EST by NWS Columbia SC
Lingering moisture and puddles from earlier rainfall will create patchy black ice on area roads during the overnight and early morning hours. Icy spots could form on paved surfaces such as bridges and overpasses, primary and secondary roads, parking lots, sidewalks and driveways. Some isolated areas of freezing fog are also possible overnight and in the early morning which could lead to some additional slick spots, especially on elevated roadways.
About
Hickory Knob State Resort Park Campground sits on the rolling, wooded shoreline of Strom Thurmond Lake in South Carolina's scenic Savannah Lake region. This unique camping destination is part of the state's only full-service resort park, offering 43 packed-gravel sites equipped with individual water and electric hookups. The campground provides convenient access to modern restroom facilities with hot showers, a dump station for RVs, and a playground for families. Each campsite comes with a picnic table, grill, and fire ring, set among mature forest providing partial to full shade. The campground serves as a base for exploring the park's extensive amenities, including an 18-hole championship golf course, full-service restaurant, skeet shooting range, archery range, boat ramp, and miles of biking trails. The 71,100-acre Strom Thurmond Reservoir offers excellent opportunities for fishing, boating, and water recreation. As part of a resort complex, campers can also take advantage of lodge facilities, meeting spaces, and organized programs. The park's location in McCormick County places visitors near South Carolina's western border, offering a blend of outdoor adventure and resort-style comfort unique among state park campgrounds.
