Lake Hartwell provides the scenic backdrop for water-based activities directly accessible from most glamping sites. Kayak and paddleboard rentals are available at Springfield campground, where "sites have little beaches for access to the water" according to a visitor. The glamping resorts maintain private swimming areas, fishing docks, and boat launches exclusive to overnight guests.

Winter bookings often include special stargazing programs and heated outdoor gathering spaces not available to conventional campers.
