Loved it!

The only reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is the fact that the campground road is in pretty rough shape. Most of the sites have a nice view if the lake. Some do have a steep drop off, so you’ll need to walk to the launch area (dirt slope) for access. We went specifically to golf, and had a great round. You do need to reserve a tee time. We saw one of the most gorgeous sunsets we’ve ever seen during our stay. Another small negative is that you can hear the grounds crew mowing the golf course pretty much all day, so if you’re looking for total silence, this may not be the place for you. Bonus in our book is that it’s a small park.

Woodsy!!

The staff was amazing and helped me find something last minute. Our spot was woodsy and secluded. A little small for our camper but once we got it into the spot, it was great. Bring something for the ants! Clean bathrooms.

Clean, easy to access, restaurant is nice.

Easy to camp. I’ve stayed here in summer and winter months. Site 18 had great water access. Beach is made of clay so be sure to wear shoes unless you don’t mind red feet. Spacious pad for gear.

Quiet and Beautiful

Some sites are challenging to back into but worth the effort. Large resort State Park with lots of activities and access to Strom Thurmond lake. Friendly and very helpful staff.
