My wife and I have stayed here three times in both early spring and mid-autumn.   Two of those times we had the place to ourselves. Sites L, M, and N are all on a little peninsula that sticks out into Clarks Hill Lake, and are our personal favorites!

Amazing for the price!

We had stayed before. (We as in myself, my 2 year old little girl and our 2 dogs). We decided to camp out for the 4th instead of going to watch fire works. Camp grounds weren’t too terribly over crowded when we arrived. However, throughout the day people showed up by the carloads to just hang out and party. Luckily, a light rain brought that to an end. Other than that our stay was pleasant. Our dogs loved the water. and the view during sunset was great.

Nice campground. We stayed in the primitive camping area with our adventure trailer. Right on the water, it was a great site. Ants can be a huge problem though during the summer.

We were able to park our 44 ft. Fifth wheel with ease with little assistance from a park host. The only reason why I didn't give a 5 star was because we were very close to neighbors. They were all in a row so if you open your curtains others can see you. Full hookups.
