      Alston Trailhead

      It was very nice! My fiance and I and our kitty stopped for the night, had burgers and went on a little hike in the morning with a gorgeous view. It’s very quiet, well kept. Has 2 porta-potty’s as well. Would definitely come back.

      John H. Moss Lake Campground

      It’s a small, clean campground but we are next to a busy road (site 28) and also the entrance to the public access of Moss Lake. It’s a tight squeeze for us as a 33’ fifth wheel.

      Beware!

      If you ever plan on visiting Shelby / Broad River KOA Holiday Campground and have women or kids in your party, and y'all rent a unit from them, I'd rethink it or keep the door locked at all times. Our visit was wonderful up until the point a maintenance worker walks straight up in here on us.

      John H. Moss Lake Campground

      Good for small rigs

      Tight fit, we stayed here with our 20ft trailer and it is a little tight. The site was at a slight angle and I noticed a lot of sites are the same way. Plus side is there is a security gate with code entry. Easy access to lake. Good clean boathouse and nice full hookups.

      Enoree River Winery

      A Wonderful Winery Experience and Overnight Stay!

      What a lovely little find! We spent the night at Enoree River Vineyards & Winery and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Arriving in our RV was a bit of a squeeze navigating the trees near the entrance, but we managed to get through without any problems.

      Once settled, we headed inside for a wine tasting, and that’s where the experience really shone. Kelly looked after us and was absolutely delightful—friendly, welcoming, and a pleasure to chat with. She made the tasting even more enjoyable.

      The wines were excellent, the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, and we enjoyed ourselves so much that we couldn’t resist leaving with three bottles!

      A fantastic place to spend the night, unwind, and enjoy some delicious local wine. We’d happily visit again and would definitely recommend it!

      Great campground.

      I had avoided KOA in the past as I heard not great things about it, but I have to rethink my position after this visit. The staff really seemed to care about the facilities and take great care of them.!

      Things you should know

      When I moved here in October 2025 Tom and Jen were helpful. The lot however hadn’t been cleaned in quite some time. The dead leaves and pine needles were at least 2 inches thick and I was left to clean them by  myself. The amenities are far below substandard and barely work. If you need to shower at the office pray the hot water is working before going. It doesn’t work more than it works. There are always campground wide water and electric issues. The mail carrier delivers all mail to the office and they distribute to mailboxes when they feel like it unless Jen has something against you then she brags to other people in the campground how she is shredding your mail. I moved out in July 2026 and had paid my rent a week early but found a place to move the day after paying and they refused to reimburse the rent. They also raised the 6 times as well as forced all residents to pay for WiFi that was very inadequate to watch tv with so you pay for their WiFi as well as a second WiFi that actually works. I am not telling you to not move or camp here just want you to be informed of what you’ll be dealing with.

This rural South Carolina location sits at approximately 600 feet elevation with hot, humid summers and mild winters. Rainfall averages 45 inches annually, creating lush forests and well-maintained trails throughout the national forest system.

    What to do

    Horseback riding trails: At Croft State Park Campground, equestrians find extensive trail systems. "Spent many weeks here over the past few years. Its a clean and well maintained park with beautiful trails and lake. Perfect for equestrian as most of the trails are horse friendly and there is a large arena free to use," notes Maddi P.

    Lake activities: Lake Greenwood provides swimming and boating opportunities 30 minutes south. "The lake was beautiful and clear, the grounds and trails on the park were quaint and well kept," reports Adam W. about Lake Greenwood State Park Campground.

    Hiking options: The Palmetto Trail passes through several campgrounds in the area. "There is also a large, separate grassy area for group camping. It includes a communal fire pit," explains Myron C. about one section near Sedalia Campground.

    What you should know

    Site conditions: Some campgrounds have challenging terrain. "We enjoyed our stay at Croft in May of 2017 - it was plesant and scratches the itch to be out in the woods but nothing to write home about. The tent and RV sites are very close together with no privacy - almost just an open area," mentions Sarah G.

    Tips for camping with families

    Kid-friendly amenities: Some campgrounds offer dedicated recreation areas. "Lots of stuff for the kids to do! Bath house clean and laundry facility great! We will definitely be back!" shares Erica C. about Pine Ridge Campground.
