Greer RV parks operate year-round with varying occupancy rates depending on season. Located in South Carolina's Upstate region at around 1,000 feet elevation, the area experiences mild winters with occasional freezing temperatures and humid summers with average highs near 90°F. Several parks require advance booking during fall leaf season when sites fill quickly due to proximity to mountain foliage viewing routes.

It took numerous attempts on my computer to connect to the numerous router networks," reports Ray & Terri F., though they found cellular service more reliable with "AT&T had 3 bars and 5 MB/s w/o a booster, 4 bars and 7 MB/s with it."
Tips for camping with families
Look for kid-friendly amenities: Gatlin Ridge RV Park provides a solid base for family activities. "Great weekend at this small peaceful RV park. Clean, beautiful landscaping. Full hookups, shady spot on site 4. A short drive to local waterfalls, rafting and tubing," notes Jake R.

Check office hours: Rutledge Lake RV Resort has limited office hours that can affect activities. "The only thing I would recommend is keeping office open later then 5. When office closes you can not take boats, or kayaks out," explains Donna H., noting how timing can impact recreation options.
Tips from RVers
