Calhoun Falls State Park Campground

This is my favorite South Carolina Park. Most sites are waterfront. It's peaceful in the spring and beautiful in the fall. The pull-through sites are great for waking up to lake views and a sunrise or sunset over the lake

This is a SC State Park located in Calhoun Falls, SC. A fishing campground - the vast majority of campers had boats. Sites are great / not on top of each other. Quiet. SC needs to up the maintenance on the park. Playground equipment and trails need immediate work. Bathhouses need upgrading.

Amazing place. We went in the winter so it wasn't too crowded. Sites are waterfront and spacious

We’ve camped here multiple times. We are always impressed with the spacious sites, lake access, quiet relaxing atmosphere.

This is probably one of my favorite SC State Parks. We camp here often in a travel trailer, and have stayed in both campgrounds. At most lakeside sites you can have boats tied or kayaks on the shore right at your site. Great for an early morning paddle!

Campground 1 is older and has poorer cell reception than Campground 2, but both are nice. I've heard the campgrounds will be closed for a few months, beginning in December 2022, for renovations. I'm excited to see what they do.

This was a nice State Park. Very quiet and private. Our side has a walkway/steps to the lake. There was a sandy area to the lake. There is NOTHING near by so make sure you take your food for the stay.

I stayed in primitive tent site 10 but all of these primitive sites are great! Well kept and spacious. Some sites have a decent walk in distance but others are close to the parking areas. There’s water points to get fresh water if needed throughout the site areas. Definitely will stay here often when “car” camping instead of backpacking.

What a beautiful State Park. My husband and I enjoyed our time visiting the park. We were at camp site#83. It was a hike to get to the water with numerous steps that could hinder some. Very private, wooded lot with obstructed views of the lake. Phone service was 1/2 bar to none. We had a terrible issue with ants. We rented a golf cart from Calhoun Falls Rentals and explored the entire park. We loved the Public access beach and picnic areas. The staff at the store were excellent. We went to lunch at a restaurant just over the SC/GA state line called“Ain’t It Guud” and had the best burgers! We took a day trip into Abbeville and stopped at Swartzenteuber’s Bakery and drove the square to see Abbeville Oprah House and other small shops. Overall it was a very peaceful stay and we will definitely be returning, with ant bait in hand.

First time there, and it was very relaxing. Super quiet at night which was nice. Sites spaced out and very well kept. Lake was very clean where we were.

We went for the first time last Labor Day. Not a ton to do but super relaxing. There is a beach area and a hiking trail. A lot of the sites are in great shape.

My fiancé had Verizon and had signal but my family was on AT&T and had very limited service.

We are going back this weekend for Labor Day weekend and I can’t wait to relax!

This park is on the Lake Russell a large lake with 540 miles of shore line and almost no houses. Great for fishing, swimming and kayaking. A huge well maintained beach and two playgrounds for the little ones. A very popular park.

Spacious sites with amazing views of Lake Russell. Clean campground with nice playgrounds! Highly recommend visiting this campground!

One of my favorite places! Campground 2 is the first to fill up! Safe and fun! Huge sites with wonderful scenery.  Clean bathhouses! Laundry on site. Friendly staff. Great for kids & pets! No full hook up yet. Cell signal spotty depending on site.

I got primitive campsite number 7 Was happy I was only one in my area so I had some privacy Pretty lake view Grate fire no fires outside of grate

We travel and camp at many places across South Carolina but this was our first visit to Calhoun Falls State Park. What a gem! Beautiful scenery, large, spacious lakeside campsites. We enjoyed privacy, lake access from our campsite, and spectacular sunset views over the lake. Rangers and staff at park store are friendly and helpful. We can’t wait to go back.

This campground is one of the most beautiful campgrounds. Loved that the site we stayed in was secluded and quiet. My kids loved night fishing at the pier.

We camped here for a long weekend. Kayaking, large spacious site right on the water, beautiful lake. A great way to social distance and get some down time.

The tent sites are probably the best tent sites I’ve camped at. Spaced out and the pad area is great. They all have good tree coverage and are somewhat secluded.

This is one of the nicest state campgrounds we have been to and we are full timers and try and stay at state parks. The sites are large sandy sites with fire ring and a very  large picnic table. There was a path down to the lake from our site. It poured one day and there was a lake outside the camper but is was gone the next day. Great drainage! There is a very pretty swimming beach and lots of picnic table around the beach area. The bath house is large and clean as are the bathrooms in the camping areas. Our pull thru site was huge! Large enough for our 35’ and loads of room at both sides of the pull thru.

This campground is very nice. Large sites that are all paved and very clean! Nice beach area, fishing pier and store on a beautiful lake!

Everything was great about our site, except the ants!! We were overrun with ants getting into our camper, eating the dog food, and anywhere they could fit their little bodies! The site was private, we had beach access to the lake, and the loops are paved which is great for bicycles.

I love this campground!! A lot of the campgrounds I have been to can't accommodate my large tent and still leave space. This one can. The sites are large and flat. They are spaced enough apart for privacy and have tons of wooded area for hammocks and such. Most are lake front to beautiful Lake Russell. Campsite 21 had easy lakefront access for swimming or kayaks or even putting our paddleboat in. The campground also consists of a camp store, a basketball court, and a tennis court. A local company we deliver golf carts and water sports equipment right to your site for very reasonable prices. All the rv/tent sites are equipped with clean water and power. From sites 19-24 you can see both the sunrise and the sunset over the lake.

The state park encompasses miles of shoreline, with incredible views from most of the campsites. They have electric hookups at each site, fire pit, and a grill. There a few trails that are easy around the park. we stayed here two nights. We swam out to an island and hung out there for the day. There’s a beach down near the ranger station you can enjoy as well.

I gave it five stars because the canoe rental was closed.

I love the people and its clean and peaceful...

Lakefront sites are fantastic. If you plan to fish, you'll need a boat for true success. Plenty for the family to do. Clean facilities.
