Mistletoe State Park Campground welcomes pets across its diverse accommodation options including tent sites, RV spaces, cabins, yurts, and glamping facilities. All sites maintain standard leash requirements, with pets needing to remain under owner control throughout the camping areas. Heritage RV Park offers full hookup sites with a dedicated dog park that provides ample space for pets to exercise off-leash. The campground features gravel and sand sites with concrete pads, though the sand can be difficult to keep out of RVs with pets. Petersburg - J Strom Thurmond Lake maintains clean, spacious sites with lake views while accommodating pets at all campsites, though the bathroom facilities have occasionally shown inconsistent maintenance according to recent visitors.
The Bartram Trail passes directly through Petersburg Campground, providing excellent hiking and mountain biking opportunities where leashed dogs can join their owners. Made in the Shade RV Park and Campground offers mature shade trees that keep pets cool during Georgia summers, with plenty of room for dogs to run in designated areas. Back to Nature Garden Center provides a more rustic camping experience with pets allowed, situated close to downtown Augusta yet surrounded by dense woods that create a secluded atmosphere. Most campgrounds in the area have standard pet waste stations throughout, though Diamond Lakes Regional Park Campground lacks some basic amenities like drinking water that might be important for pet owners during extended stays. Wildlife encounters are possible at lakeside campgrounds, so keeping pets leashed and supervised is especially important near water areas and during evening hours.

ScoutI live in Augusta but looked over the campsite for possible guests. The close proximity to our home and grocery shopping is a plus. The combination of a garden center and petting zoo was a real plus for small great grand kids. I'm going to recommend this as an option for visiting relatives.
ScoutGreat little spot. The Owners are very nice and friendly. Great dog park and boat ramp. Wifi is exceptional. Lots of land to roam around on.
RangerThis is a very well-kept campground. There is no bath house or laundry on premises but there is a very nice dog park. It is mostly gravel with one or two streets being sand and all the sites are back in except one which we thought we were going to get but I guess someone called before we did and got it. Our site was level and we were able to set up quickly with the help of Mike the office manager. There is nothing for kids to do here so be advised the gravel becomes a toy! It was great for a night stay. Right off the interstate with lots of stores nearby including Walmart and Camping world.
RangerIt is a very small campground. Narrow winding dirt road to small campsites. Bathhouse in the center. Check out the site pictures on their website, they are accurate. We only have a 17 foot camper and it still felt small. We stayed on site 16 which was nice and quiet. Site 18 would have been easier to back in to with the same amount of privacy. We got there early and were able to go right to our site. There were only 4 other campers there and the hosts. The bathhouse was older and could have been cleaner but it was okay. Most importantly it was warm. Our first night it got down to 27 and the water at the hose bib froze but once the sun came up it was fine. Less than 30 minutes to downtown Aiken. We loved the town and it was very pet friendly. Hopelands Gardens was beautiful, free and pet friendly. Had some good beer at Aiken Brewing Company and enjoyed all the shops downtown. We did go into Augusta and that was another 30 minutes from downtown Aiken. We will definitely go back in the warmer months to see some steeplechase horse racing and training, canoe and kayak the Edisto River and go hiking in Hitchcock Woods. There are quite a few museums we did not get to that would be nice to visit as well. I would definitely go back.
RangerCampground was easy to find. It went south once we entered the campground. There is no signage to tell you anything. The manager who was very sweet had told me she would send me information but I didn’t receive anything. She got confused on the dates and was very apologetic. We drove all over the area looking for the office. There was a trailer that had a shower in one end and laundry in the other and a door marked private which “May” have been the office but we’ll never know. We have a 42’ 5th wheel and dragging this thing behind us around the campground was quite the adventure. Nobody seemed to know where the office was….we ended up at a dead end that was like a culdesac and someone parked their SUV on the curve instead of in their drive and it took us a while to spin the monster around. We could have sold tickets as we had an audience. Dinner and a movie I guess!! Finally got headed in the right direction and a guy in a pick up stopped and took us to his leader. We used actually 2 sites to park. It was full service, pretty quiet, lots of full time people. Not much grass, mostly sand and tree roots where we were parked. Nice sized dog park. Internet was poor. They have 2 different Wi-Fi’s to use neither of them were good. Our hotspot didn’t work well either- seems to be a dead area. I have AT&T cell service and had service at the camper but not while trolling through the park so I could call the office of course.
GuideHowever you want to camp you can. Tent, RV, you name it. With lake access on virtually every spot you’ll wake up to amazing views and great days in the sun. Almost every spot has a walkable path to the water. It’s pet friendly and has amenities for even the least experienced (and least willing) campers.
GuideThis campground was quiet and tranquil. Large pines and mature trees. Surrounded by water. Camping and boating paradise. Immaculate grounds and facilities. Water and electric and gray water dumps at each site. Washer and dryer. Not a large park, but it’s a place I hate to leave. Pet friendly and great staff.

Hiking the Bartram Trail: At Petersburg Campground, the Bartram Trail provides excellent mountain biking and hiking opportunities. "During my March stay the hot water was not working in the shower.

Water activities on Clarks Hill Reservoir: Swimming, kayaking and boating are popular at Mistletoe State Park. "This is a review of the four walk-in tent sites at Mistletoe State Park.

Spacious campsites: Many campers appreciate the room between sites at Modoc Campground. "Sites were well spaced. We had 15 and it was great, I would stay at the same site again. Water and electric at all sites. Access to water from majority of sites. Bath house was clean enough. Front desk attendants were wonderful," shares Jen D.
Clean facilities: Campers frequently mention well-maintained bathrooms and showers. "The water saver shower was a little strange at first as I had not seen one like it before. Push button that stays on for like 30 seconds. You have to keep pushing the button, but it wasn't too bad. Two washer and dryers in front of the bathrooms that are free to use," notes Brenda L. about Lake Leitner Recreation Area.
Wildlife viewing: The wooded setting provides opportunities to see local wildlife. "This is a federal campground on which sites are spread out. Wildlife live in the woods around the sites. I've seen deer, a bobcat, and various water fowl. Fishing, boating, and swimming can be enjoyed here. The lake is awesome. A big draw for me is the scenery on the lake and the lack of mosquitoes," mentions PattieL at Modoc Campground.
Seasonal variations: Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F with high humidity. Spring and fall offer more comfortable camping conditions. "Made in the Shade RV Park offers mature shade trees that keep pets cool during Georgia summers, with plenty of room for dogs to run in designated areas," according to reviews.
Campground access restrictions: Some facilities have specific entry requirements. "Decent campground on a small lake (no boating allowed). Keep in mind this campground is on the US Army's Ft. Gordon installation. As a result, the only authorized users of this campground are: 'Active Duty, National Guard, Reservists, Retired Military, 0-100% DAV, Purple Heart Recipients, Former POW, Veteran Caregivers, DoD Civilians,'" explains Scott M. about Lake Leitner.
Site selection considerations: Choose sites based on shade, water access, and amenities. "The sites are level and we had no problem fitting our RV and tow car in a back-in site. Our driveway was gravel/sand but the patio was paved with a picnic table. There is no cable but there is a clear view to the sky if you have satellite," notes Nancy W. at Heritage RV Park.
Beach access locations: Several campgrounds offer swimming areas suitable for children. "The main feature is the lake. Fishing, boating, kayaking, swimming. Stayed at site #12. Waterfront excellent view of lake but sunny site. Sites had water, electric, concrete table, fire ring, and lantern hook. Not much barrier between sites but sites were good size just open," Rachel G. shares about Mistletoe State Park.
Free fishing opportunities: Back to Nature Garden Center offers convenient access for families. "Small campground almost downtown but the dense woods make you feel like you're in the country. There's a family dollar next door if you forget anything," notes David H.

For the hikers the trails are great, and very in difficulty to keep things fun and the backwoods hiking camp sights were great. The beach and boating facilities were very nice," reports Chad H. about Mistletoe State Park.
Site surface conditions: Many campgrounds feature gravel or sand pads which can present challenges. "The campground was fine. Hookups were accessible and Mike the office manager was easy to work with. The pads for the back in smaller campers were sandy with a concrete pad next to it. The sand was impossible to keep out of the RV and we continuously had to sweep," reports Andrew L. about Heritage RV Park.
Internet connectivity: Wifi quality varies between campgrounds. "We stayed here for 6 months and hated to leave. Our 50 Amp site was level and spacious. Wifi was excellent and we could stream Netflix and Hulu. Great Verizon cell service. Wonderful gem of an RV park! The location was quiet and beautiful, surrounded by woods and fields," shares Jan W. about Made in the Shade RV Park.

This is a very well maintained USACOE facility. Our site (19) is quite large and very level (after the entry driveway): plenty of room for the coach and at least 2 other vehicles," notes Carrie G. about Ridge Road Campground.
