"Lots of lakeside sites and pull throughs. Beautiful lake views. Very well maintained bathroom and showers. I think we had the best site #75! Pretty level pull thru on the lake with an amazing view."
"We stayed on site 73. It had direct access to the water, was right next to the bath house, huge pull through site, gray water drain on the site next to water and electric hook up."
$15 - $650 / night
"We hiked from the campground to Lake Buncombe and also hiked from Sunset Drive trail to Lake Liberty and the office. Equestrian trails are closed to hiking during the weekend."
"The park located in small town. It is very quite, nothing is nearby. Walmart is 33 miles away, so you should stock up before camping there. Camp sites are big and far from each other. No WiFi."
"Beautiful colors for the fall, waterfront campsites, water and electric hook ups and back-in AND pull-through spots available."
"Set up well for families with children… room to ride bikes, scooters, skateboards; playground; putt putt course; trails to walk; beach areas all around the camp ground for easy access to the water."
$32 / night
"We set up tents and did our glamping camping with ac. Also site was right on the water. Beautiful views. Wish there was more of our own little swim beach area."
"It’s a level lot with a grill, fire ring, picnic table and another small table. It’s right on the lake. There is a retaining wall at the water so it’s about a 3” step to the water."
"Raysville is a hidden gem at Clarks Hill Lake. this campground is much quieter and more secluded than the others in the area. they still offer decent bath houses with showers. "
"Bath houses are ok and staff is laid back."
"Check in was easy and staff were nice and helpful. The camp store has most of your camping needs and other items. Bathhouse is clean and well stocked with toilet paper."

"There is a playground and picnic pavilion across the road from this site. There is a streetlight right in front of this site - maybe the only one in the campground."
"Such a beautiful setting with nearly all the campsites on the water. There’s not interstates, trains, airports nearby so it’s truly a quiet getaway. There’s a new bathhouse that was nice and clean."

"Baker Creek State Park is situated in an area along the Savannah River with a lot of other S.C. and GA parks."
"Cool campground surrounded by water. I give it 4 stars mainly because the bathrooms were in disrepair and the hiking trail was poorly marked."
Nicest state park cabin I’ve never stayed in! The furnishings were beautiful and the screened porch was amazing. I really appreciated that the bedding and towels were plush and extremely comfortable-very unlike most state parks or other rental cabins. It was also impeccably clean, AND the bathrooms had handcrafted local soaps!
As a side note, my husband is a wheelchair user and this was the most accessible vacation rental we’ve ever encountered (and we travel a lot). The picnic table had a seat cutout, the fire pit and grill were on a level surface, and the kitchen sink was roll under! 10/10 thank you HLC for the thoughtful attention to accessibility.
This is one of the nicest state parks for camping we've been to. Lots of lakeside sites and pull throughs. Beautiful lake views. Very well maintained bathroom and showers. I think we had the best site #75! Pretty level pull thru on the lake with an amazing view. Bathhouse right behind site. Fire pit and cement picnic bench.
This was our first trip to this park. I like the site specific reservation. Much more relaxed arrival and no creepy stalking from upcoming campers. The welcome center staff was very nice and helpful when needed. However, I almost didn't have firewood the first night because I didn't know you had to purchase it from the welcome center and they close at 4 or 5 pm. Also, their firewood bundles only lasted about an hour each at best ($6+ each). Our campsite was great! Secluded and a great view. Another slight negative in my book is the lake isn't anywhere near the campground. You have to leave the campground traveling along 3-4 roads/turns. The bath house was clean, new, and ada accessible. Oh vet important to note there is no cell service at your site. However, near the welcome center does have free wifi, but you have to be pretty close.
We stayed on site 73. It had direct access to the water, was right next to the bath house, huge pull through site, gray water drain on the site next to water and electric hook up. Bath house was clean and well kept. Wood needed to be purchased during daytime hours with card payment over the phone. No souvenir magnet because the store was only open Mon-Thurs, unfortunately.
Some of the folks staying on the other loop mentioned issues with ants, but we only had ants in the spot where we spilled some dog food.
Overall we accomplished what we set out, which was a trip to just relax the entire weekend.
This is a review of the four walk-in tent sites at Mistletoe State Park. I personally stayed in #4 and had a look at the others.
The best site is definitely #2 -- feet from the water, spacious, suitable for more than one tent or hammock (better for tents as it is mostly open, but there are places for hammocks along the edges).
Site #4 is probably second best, better for a hammocks probably (which is what I had) as no great level ground. It is not right on the water but has it's own private path to the water(couple hundred feet to the water).
Sites #1 & #3 do not really have access to the water without climbing down something steeply dangerous or through thick trees. (The water access from the other sites is right in the middle of those other sites so you couldn't really share that unless they are empty or occupied by friends.) Still #1 is a pretty good site. #3 is the least interesting and smallest, but still secluded -- I wouldn't call any of these bad.
None of these sites have groomed tent pads -- just gravelly ground. They do each have a table, fire pit, and lantern pole. #1 & #2 are best for tents. There is good separation between all sites. Sites #2 & #3 are within shouting distance of each other and you'd be able to see tents, etc at one from the other. There is an outhouse between sites #1 & #2, and another another between sites #3 & #4. It is a 5 minute (or so) walk to the real bathroom (which also has showers) back in the main campground.
Other than the lake itself at sites #2 & #4, I didn't see any dedicated water source for these sites. (The lake is silty -- pre-filtering recommended if you are using a filter.) So you'd have to bring in water or get it from the bathroom area or maybe from an empty RV site which all have spigots. You'll have to pack out your trash, and there are definitely critters around that will get in your trash so it should be secured somehow. (Hanging it from the lantern pole isn't good enough -- you'll wake up to find a hole in the bag and it strewn around, ask me how I know.)
Everything in the park was very clean and well-maintained, although when I was here in September (during the week), the whole place was basically deserted anyway.
The water access at sites #2 & #4 is nice but it is not a real beach -- it is all large rocks for the most part and they were very slippery even when dry so be careful. The water level was also extremely low when I was there so some of those rocks are probably covered by water earlier in the year.
What's a great place to stay!!! Beautiful colors for the fall, waterfront campsites, water and electric hook ups and back-in AND pull-through spots available. The bathrooms with shower stalls have AC and heat no matter the time of year you go. Trails to hike, dog friendly, canoes and kayaks for rent and close enough to a town to drive in to if you tire of campfire meals and want a really good margarita or need a grocery store to grab anything you may have left behind.
So many good sites right on the water. Relaxed atmosphere. You could swim or kayak right off your site or go to the beach. Several trails. God sunsets if you were in the right site. Large Clem bathrooms that were cleaned frequently. Mold on the shower curtains and not enough trash cans.
We camped in one of the tent only walk-in sites located on a peninsula jutting into the lake. We had a ton of stuff, not realizing it was an uphill and pretty long trek, but it was totally worth it. We had the whole place to ourselves, no neighbors, in late March. The sun setting over the water was beautiful, it was quiet even as a few motor boats came in for the night. There is a tiny beach on the tip of the peninsula, picnic tables, and an outhouse. It was my favorite spot of everywhere we stayed on an Alabama-Georgia-South Carolina roadtrip including AirBnB and bed and breakfast.
We stayed on site 7 for 4 nights and then site 68 for 2 nights. Water access wasn't the best on 7, but we enjoyed it. The park and hosts were nice. This campground has a nice boat ramp, most sites are good size, bathrooms and bathhouse generously spread out and is mostly quiet.
