Passed by 11/17/11, called and found that they are reopened. Restaurant will open this weekend. Facility looked neat and clean. Docks looked good as well. Was told that the restaurant will have an expanded menu and will be excellent. Will stop next trip.

What a wonderful surprise- Bucksport Marina & Campground, in South Carolina, is open again!
The marina, grounds and restaurant have all undergone a major renovation. Everything looks fantastic! It is now a family owned and operated marina.
They have some great things in the works:
A ship store, which will carry sundries.
Concerts on the grounds
Sadly, the restaurant was not open, but will be on Friday (tomorrow). Dori was cooking chili and it smelled yummy! Jay is REALLY excited about the menu… inside out burgers)!
We were greeted by the friendliest group of people we have met in a long time!
If you are still heading south, stop in and meet Ralph and his family. You will not be sorry! 843.397.5566
We wish them all much success!

The restaurant menu sounded great… I’m sort of a burger connoisseur and they have a good selection of burgers… from talking to them it’s actually the third owners
since the original owners that offered the sausage… the new owners own another 450 slip marina on an inland lake in SC… so they know what they are doing… sounds like this time Bucksport will remain open and has been added to our evening destinations.

Hoping they will offer a “free” tie-up while eating at the restaurant. I’ll find out in a couple of weeks.
Roger Hitchner on Painter,
hoping the Bay doesn’t freeze over before I get away.
Never stayed there (too many great Waccammaw anchorages) but always stopped for some sausage! We’ve been looking for an alternative for quite some time but haven’t found one we like better. BTW, it’s made by a local company there in Conway, SC. I contacted them a few years ago when Bucksport stopped selling it and they were planning on selling it via mail order. Don’t know if they ever did.
