About
US Army Corps of Engineers
Broad River Campground is located on the south bank of the Broad River, where it joins the Savannah River, on Clarks Hill - J. Strom Thurmond Lake – the largest Corps of Engineers lake east of the Mississippi River. This quiet, rural area is very historic, near the now-flooded town of Petersburg. Great place to bring your flat bottom boat, kayak's, canoe or simply a lounger chair to relax. The Broad River Park and Campground features a boat ramp, dump stations, electrical hook-ups, shower/bath house, campsites and fish cleaning stations. Of the 31 campground sites, Broad River has 7 Double sites and 2 Triple sites for rental.

Stayed over the weekend before Halloween and had a great time. There were tons of activities over the weekend for the kids! Trick or treating, a movie. Site was level but gravel was sparse! Clean bath house. We did not have cell signal for AT&T or Verizon. Great place if you’re wanting to launch your boat! Lots of interesting sites nearby

An out of the way place, few amenities.
This is a good campground for a weekend getaway or fishing trip with friends. Not so much for a family trip, no swimming beach or playground. This is a former COE campground, very dated and in need of upgrading. To give credit, it is being worked on but much needs to be done. With 31 sites it is a smaller campground, but the sites are well dispersed and offer plenty of room. The bathhouse has been remodeled, with sidewalks and new fixtures, very clean and well maintained. Over a three day stay we never saw anyone at the gatehouse, our reservation paperwork was taped to the window. There was also a not informing folks that if a site was empty to park in it. When we got to our site some folks were there with a travel trailer even though there was a "RESERVED" placard on the post. To their credit, they were apologetic, promptly moved and mentioned the confusion about the "RESERVED" placards. I understood their confusion after walking around and seeing many sites with reserved placards dating as far back as April (this was mid-June). There is ZERO Verizon coverage, and even though WIFI was said to be available our phones could never find the network. 50/30/20 electric service and water. Dump station available, clean and well kept.
