11 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks operate near Evans, Georgia, providing access to Lake Thurmond and Augusta area attractions. Heritage RV Park in Augusta features level back-in sites with full hookups and 50-amp electric service, accommodating larger RVs despite the absence of pull-through options. "All sites are back in but very big so easy to get in. Great wifi. Streaming was no problem," reported one camper who found the park simple but clean with necessary amenities. Pointes West Army Resort in Appling offers water, electric, and sewer connections for RVs with bathrooms on-site. Plum Branch RV Park maintains 45 sites with both 30-amp and 50-amp service options, gravel pads, and picnic tables at each site. Most RV parks in the region provide basic amenities including water hookups, electric service, and sewer connections.
Seasonal considerations affect availability throughout the area, with some parks experiencing higher occupancy during summer lake season and Masters Tournament weeks. Many RV sites require advance reservations, particularly at state parks and Corps of Engineers facilities along Lake Thurmond. Cell service varies significantly by carrier, with one visitor reporting strong performance from Verizon (44.9 Mbps down) while T-Mobile showed no service at Plum Branch RV Park. Several campgrounds prohibit campfires, including Heritage RV Park where fire pits are not provided. Pet policies generally allow dogs with standard leash requirements. Dump stations are available at most parks, though Heritage RV Park and several others lack on-site laundry facilities or bathhouses, making them better suited for self-contained RVs with internal bathrooms.

GuideI spent one night here 10-18-26 as I was passing through. The area is a open field with no designated sites. Milo and I were the only ones there. Nice and quite. Beautiful place if you have water and electric. In the morning some boaters were launching as I was packing up. No issues.
I would definitely stay again if passing through.
RangerPetersburg is a campground with million dollar views that has become a forgotten asset of the federal government.
The property is mostly overgrown and landscape maintenance appears to be a forgotten concept, like bathhouse maintenance.
On a positive note it has been reported that the government is approving funds to restart the modernization of these once great recreation locations.
ScoutWhen I got here I was told that it was all private property
ScoutThe neighbors are fantastic. The management is fantastic.
We love it here.
LegendHickory Knob SP CG is tucked along the shores of Lake Thurmond in South Carolina’s rolling countryside, where the pine trees stand tall, the crickets sing backup, and life slows to a more reasonable pace. It’s the only South Carolina SP with a full resort feel – which means campers get the perks of a golf course, lodge, and restaurant nearby, without losing that back-to-nature atmosphere that makes pitching a tent or leveling out an RV worth the trouble. First impressions? Think peaceful lake views with just enough activity around to keep things lively but never hectic.
The campground itself offers a mix of RV and tent sites, with electric and water hookups for the comfort crowd and wooded, shaded spaces for the purists. Campsites are fairly roomy, with picnic tables, fire rings, and enough tree cover to keep your morning coffee shaded until you’re good and ready to face the day. Bathhouses are clean and well-kept ... nothing spa-like, but not the kind where you walk out wondering if you need a tetanus shot either. Navigation is straightforward, though larger rigs should take it slow on the curves. And here’s a bonus: campers can stroll over to the resort-style amenities like a swimming pool, tennis courts and even the on-site restaurant if they’re tired of hot dogs and s’mores.
The surrounding fun is where Hickory Knob shines. Lake Thurmond offers ample space for boating, fishing, kayaking and swimming, with more shoreline than your GPS can keep track of. The park itself has miles of hiking and biking trails that snake through pine forest and offer glimpses of deer, wild turkeys, and the occasional heron. For the golfers in the crowd, the 18-hole course is the centerpiece here – where else can you balance your day between kayaking coves in the morning and working on your short game in the afternoon? The nearby town of McCormick provides groceries, a few dining options and that small-town charm that feels refreshingly unhurried.
Insider Tips: (1) The waterfront campsites are the gems with west-facing spots for those Technicolor sunsets (but you'll want to book early if you can, because everyone has the same idea, right?); (2) Don’t feel like cooking? Head on over to the Hickory Knob Lodge restaurant, which while nothing fancy, this joint has solid Southern comfort food that tastes even better after a day outdoors; (3) Kayakers should launch near the group lodge cove where it’s calmer water with prime birdwatching opportunities; (4) If you like a side of nostalgia with your dessert, swing by Michelle’s in McCormick for classic Southern diner plates and pie that’ll make you rethink diets; (5) Want a 'higher' perspective? Sites further inland sit at slightly higher elevation, meaning more shade, although fewer lake views, but less wind off the water, so choose based on your style of camping comfort.
Happy Camping!
ScoutWhen we got there, another family was in our space. They said the one they reserved was overgrown with brush (a few were). We tried to call to have it resolved but no one to call. We ended up having to pick another site that was empty. That portion was very stressful after a long drive to get there. Experience was okay, the water is down a good bit right now.
GuideFor me this was a very average campsite. Nothing very notable here or in the area. It felt like it was a predominantly RV catered campground but there were available spots for tents. Not much privacy, you can see down the road and to each site pretty well from wherever you’re at, though some sites on the backside of the campground were seemingly a little more private. The main attraction is a swampy lake, pretty but not spectacular. There is a playground and good visibility so maybe a good campground for families. Bathroom water pressure was not good.
GuideWe had a very nice long weekend on site 32. The sites are large and clean, the park is easy to maneuver. The water level was really low but we were still able to get our Pontoon boat in and out of the boat ramp and pulled ashore right at our site.
RangerLet me say that we have stayed at several of the COE campgrounds in this area.
We felt that it had a lot of potential to be an extremely beautiful park but has been neglected in a few ways.
Understanding that this campground like some others in the area suffered damage from a recent hurricane and that the necessary cleanup and recovery can be a long process, much of the needs of Ridge Road appear to be neglect.
The sites and general areas are immensely overgrown and in desperate need of maintenance, and while the bathhouses are in need of renovation, general attention to cleanliness and pest control (a lot of large, live, spiders) would serve them well.
We hope the park will get the attention it needs and look forward to returning.
