Write Up:
A few notes to help those heading to this terrific area of upstate SC.

-the ranger station stays open if you have a reservation
-you can find your sites pretty easily with a decent headlamp
-if spending the night on the Jones Gap Trail get site 13 or 11, these are adjacent to the stream, the other sites are a bit further to water
-rainbow falls trail is D5 and not easy to get to compared to most waterfalls but well worth the hike - it flows well in drier times and I imagine very well in heavy rain/snow melt.  for pics, sunrise likely trumps sunset

Our group loved this area and likely will return

Once you leave the park and hit the T with SC11, go left about 100' and eat at the roadside, good grub and friendly people too!
