GuideNice state park. If you are into water sports (kayaking, Paddle boarding, boating or fishing) this is a perfect park. No sewer hookups but each loop has a dump station. We stayed at site 42 lake view and level with a little incline to pad. Best sites 38, 39, 41 and 5. These are right on water with level pads and access to your play toys that you can pull up to the coast. Rangers are very friendly and are okay but clean. Will make this a future revisit park.
GuideThis 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.
ScoutTook our pop up with our friends. Had a great time. Very clean
GuideWe stayed at the farm for a week. The rv site has a nice concrete pad, a picnic table, two Adirondack chairs and a metal fire pit. There are three tent camp sites by the river. The rv site is next to a building which is unoccupied and unused. We felt we had complete privacy at the site. The rv site has an electric and water hook up. The bathhouse has a shower with great water pressure, a sink and toilet. Someone cleaned it during our stay. It is shared by all campers, but this worked well during our stay. Craig the owner was very responsive to any questions. The farm is close to Travelers Rest and multiple state parks. We would gladly return.
ScoutThe campsite is very well maintained. You often see the owner themselves doing a lot of the maintenance. Plus they check on people, see if everything is going good. The campsite only has laundry service, no additional bathrooms or showers. The Wi-Fi is ok, but it drops out a lot. The closest town is cute not very much to do but just enough. The main city Greenville isn’t very far and it’s a very nice downtown area. It’s a very nice campsite, highly recommended.
ScoutHad to share a campsite with another person to park my vehicle, Mini-golf isn’t included, It’s $2 per person extra, I didn’t check in any of the other activities, Probably extra.
GuideWe arrived pretty late, close to midnight after hitting a lot of traffic traveling from Fl. The coordinates took us directly here, and upon first arriving we did see a campsite to the left which was being used. Continuing on for about another twenty minutes down a one-way gravel road we did not see anymore sites until the end of the road which has a beautiful sunrise view. There are hundreds of downed trees, I am assuming from Hurricane Helene. Which were chopped up, perfect for a firering.
We went almost to the end of the road before turning around and just pulling over onto a little 'shoulder' to set up the tent for the night.
Pros- Dead silent and relaxing Great view of the stars during early spring/late winter
Cons- Not car accessible (road is narrow and very bumpy. 4x4 recommended but I made it down in a 2x4 fullsize pickup) Have not seen nor heard any creek despite one being in the photos.
Definitely would come back
LegendGeneral: Newer campground (opened November 2022) with a mix of electric and tent sites plus primitive cabins.
Site Quality: All sites have a paved camper pad, a large gravel tent pad, a very generous-sized picnic table, and a fire ring. The tent site camper pads can easily accommodate two cars. Be aware, however, that camper pads on the odd-numbered tent sites (5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15) are not level, but Sites 1 and 3 plus the even-numbered sites have level parking pads. This is only a concern if, like us, you are in a campervan; tents would have no problem.
Bath/Shower house: Extremely clean. It is a bit of a hike from the tent sites to the bathhouse, which is ¼ mile from Site 6. The shower was one of the best campground showers we’ve experienced– nicely tiled, long bench, several hooks, immediate warm water, and nice water pressure. Since the bathhouse was so far from the tent sites, it would have been nice to have a vault toilet in this area.
Activities: There are several trails in this park, however, they are a bit of a distance from the campground, so unless you want a longer hike, you need to drive to the trailheads. The best one is to Rainbow and Turtle Back Falls, a somewhat challenging 4-mile round trip hike, but well worth it.
We had planned a return to this campground specifically to hike to Rainbow Falls. Our stay was very pleasant (despite periodic downpours!), and Connie, the camp host, was one of the best we’ve encountered in a campground.
GuideThis is my favorite SC park (so far). Several waterfalls are in the area, plus fishing lakes and swimming beach. Lots of outdoorsy things to do, and beautiful views of Table Rock from the Mountain Laurel Campground. The White Oak Campground is hillier. I stayed here over New Year's and did a ranger-led First Day Hike.
