    Located in South Carolina Upcountry and mere minutes from the beloved Gaffney Peachoid, Spacious Skies Peach Haven is your sweet retreat, nestled among picturesque farmland and rolling green hills.

    Our campground offers full hook-up RV sites as well as water and electric only sites. We are big rig friendly and have an array of pristine paved sites that include a stone fire ring, grill, and dining table with chairs. If shaded sites are your preference, we have sites tucked into a piney grove too! We also have cabins that are available in a variety of sizes and with differing amenities, ensuring we have the perfect spot that meets each family or group’s needs.

    Enjoy the peaceful, bucolic surroundings by hiking the nearby trails or fishing in one of our ponds. If you are looking for more action, there is plenty of fun to be had with a pool, mini golf course, jumping pillow, rec hall, and more to explore! We didn’t forget your furry friends either. Our cabins are all pet-friendly and two dog parks allow your pup to have some fun and burn off some energy. A well-stocked camp store, 24-hour laundry facility, and WiFi provide some of the comforts of home while you embrace the great outdoors.

    If you’re looking to use your site as a home base while you explore the area, Gaffney and nearby Spartanburg offer plenty of destinations, and our campground is conveniently located just minutes of I-85.
