Paris Mountain State Park Campground welcomes pets throughout its wooded camping area just outside Greenville. The campground features 40 sites with water and electric hookups suitable for tents, RVs, and cabins, all of which permit leashed dogs. Golden Grove Farm and Brew provides a more rustic pet-friendly camping experience with four basic RV sites where dogs can join their owners. Most area campgrounds maintain standard pet policies requiring dogs to remain on leashes no longer than 6 feet, though site-specific restrictions vary. Table Rock State Park, Devils Fork State Park, and Keowee-Toxaway State Park all offer pet-friendly accommodations including cabin options, though pets incur additional fees and are prohibited from swimming areas. Bathhouses at Paris Mountain are exceptionally clean, making extended stays with pets more comfortable.
Hiking trails throughout the region provide excellent exercise opportunities for dogs and their owners. Paris Mountain features multiple trail options winding around the mountain and lake, though mountain bikers share these paths except on Saturdays when biking is prohibited to accommodate increased hiker and dog traffic. Sites at Paris Mountain vary significantly in levelness due to the mountainous terrain, with spots like #39 presenting challenges for RVs while more level options like #40 offer creekside settings perfect for dogs who enjoy water. Devils Fork and Table Rock provide additional dog-friendly camping and hiking options with varying difficulty levels. The region experiences significant seasonal temperature variations, requiring pet owners to plan accordingly during summer months when hiking is best done in early morning or evening hours. Local campers note that many sites between Paris Mountain's camping loops offer ample space for setting up hammocks where dogs can rest underneath in the shade.
"The cabins have all of the amenities that you need for a week of hiking, biking, and exploring the South Carolina mountains. It's close to Caesar's Head or Dupont Forest."
"South Carolina SPs currently have a ban on bringing in firewood, forcing me to buy some at the camp store, leading to my only criticism: The wood was still very green and required significant work to get"
"Having lived in South Carolina most my life, I haven't seen it all.. but have seen a lot of it. Mile Creek Campground is a string of 3 islands connect by narrow straights and surrounded by water."
"So, I prefer fall :) Seems great for kids and pets. Not a lot of space or privacy between campsites, but the views are worth the less private sites. Water and electric at each site."

ScoutWhatever person or group of persons designed the campground were clueless as to how to develop a campground. Sites are packed in the most preposterous configuration to have tents, trailers motorhomes all jammed together nearly touching each other with zero privacy. Come for the hikes and views of the gorge but come with the lowest expectations for the campground and you’ll be fine
TravelerMy son, daughter-in-law, and twin grandchildren, and I camped here to watch the full solar eclipse in 2017. We had a beautiful tent site. There was a little playground that the kids really enjoyed and abundant shade at the camping site. Bathrooms were clean, wood for campfires was available, and we had a wonderful time.
TravelerThis place is a nice campground, quiet and the guests (during our stay) respect others by keeping the noise down. The spaces are set up to maximize privacy between sites. There is no cell phone service (to do this report we are in a picnic area by a small lake and I can get cell as well as internet on my travelfi device) sos is the only access. I normally listen to audio books but not while here. On my computer I could see three others with low signals; they might have had a better device/provider. The spots tend to the small back in typically found in campsites built before RVs got really big, type. There is another camping area I haven’t been to yet and I did see a large over lander (looks indestructible and tall/long) towable head that way and the campground attendant didn’t predict any problems so perhaps there are larger spots elsewhere. This place has single person shower rooms and nice flush toilets. The whole place is set in woodland so it isn’t like a commercial RV place that was more concerned with volume over aesthetics. This is a lovely spot with ample amenities (my space had no hookups) for our type of camping (toilets, trash, quiet neighbors, semi private spaces) just zero phone or internet.
ScoutWalk to trail sites, clean bathrooms, sites close together…water and electric at site. Sites are sloped gravel.
GuideVery nice spot! I imagine it gets full in the summer and on weekends, but just two groups today. Wish we could stay longer. People left a lot of trash at the day use areas sadly but sites were clean. No T-Mobile service.
ScoutGreat spot to pull in last minute. There are multiple spots along this stretch of road. Would not recommend if you want to post up somewhere private, decent amount of traffic pulling through for a mountain road.
ScoutHospitality and attention to detail can't be beat. Rates were very reasonable for the quality of facility and grounds.
TravelerStayed 1 week in site 12. Great small campground, clean and quiet. Jojo was a great host and 5pm happy hour gathering was fun. Will DEFINITELY return. Its a great spot for launching adventures.
ScoutThis park was built several years ago by Millenium Motorcoach Company, and is just an incredible place! The sites are all privately owned, and rentals are managed by the resort, for the owners and renters alike. We have travelled for many years in our motorcoach, and have enjoyed accommodations like this seldom. You just want to stay and never leave!
Lake Keowee and the surrounding mountains create distinct camping microclimates near Easley, South Carolina, with temperature variations between waterfront and mountain sites often reaching 10-15 degrees. The region's campgrounds sit at elevations ranging from 800 to 2,000 feet, resulting in cooler mountain temps during summer months when lower elevations can reach 90+ degrees.
Kayaking at Lake Jocassee: Devils Fork State Park Campground offers direct access to the crystal-clear waters of Lake Jocassee with on-site kayak rentals. "The lake is gorgeous. Boat ramp and trailer parking. Kayak rentals available," notes Carissa D. Waterfront sites book quickly during warm months, especially weekends.
Scenic drives with stops: The Cherokee Foothills Scenic Highway (Highway 11) runs near Keowee-Toxaway State Park, connecting multiple recreation areas. "Located in Sunset SC, near Clemson and Easley, this park is one of our favorites off of the Cherokee foothills scenic Hwy 11," writes Fain H. The park provides a central location for exploring multiple natural areas within a 30-minute drive.
Waterfall hunting: Multiple waterfalls within 20 miles make this area popular for waterfall enthusiasts. "We even rented a pontoon boat nearby & they gave us a map and told us where to go. We did cliff diving and climbed waterfalls," shares Kirsten J. from Mile Creek County Park. Several falls require minimal hiking and are pet-friendly, though water access rules vary by location.
Quiet lakeside spots: Mile Creek County Park earns consistent praise for its waterfront sites. "Each campsite has wonderful views of the water. There is a playground by the entrance and near the farthest campsites as well," explains Jake S. Most sites have at least partial water views, with spots 25-58 offering the most direct lake access.
Clean facilities: Bathroom cleanliness stands out at several area campgrounds. "The bathhouses are nice and have hot water and are heated. Everyone we have met has been very nice," reports Jennifer K. from Mile Creek County Park. Some campgrounds even feature heated bathroom facilities during cooler months, making shoulder season camping more comfortable.
Private wilderness feel: Jones Gap State Park provides secluded sites despite being near developed areas. "Unlike other state park campgrounds, each spot is about a quart mile from the next, so you feel like you have the mountain to yourself," shares Emily S. These sites require hiking in, with distances ranging from 0.5 to 3 miles from parking areas.
Booking requirements: Reserve early for waterfront sites, especially during summer months. "Great spot on Lake Keowee. Bring what you need as not much in the way of groceries nearby," advises John R. at Mile Creek County Park. Weekend reservations often require 3-4 months advance planning during peak season.
Water levels fluctuate: Lake levels can change significantly, affecting shoreline camping spots and boat launches. "But make sure to check the water level; I've had to help push boats back into the water a few times and there has also been instances when our canoe floated off when the water rose," cautions a Maggie J. regarding Keowee-Toxaway State Park.
Site terrain challenges: Sloped camping pads can cause problems for RVs and tents at Paris Mountain State Park Campground. "Liked the campground. No amenities per day except bathroom/showers. Nice large sites but very unlevel due to mountain side," notes Cindy R. Sites 31 and 40 are among the most level in this otherwise hilly campground.
Beginner-friendly backpacking: For families wanting to try backpacking without major commitment, Jones Gap offers accessible options. "This is a great campsite for 1st time backpackers. The site is approximately 1 mile from the state park office," writes Stacy B. Water is readily available from streams near most sites, though filtering is required.
Swimming areas with shallow sections: Twin Lakes at Lake Hartwell provides family-friendly water access with graduated swimming areas. "We stayed here this past weekend and absolutely loved it. Our site was #40 and it was right on the lake," shares Elizabeth G. The shoreline features both shallow wading areas and deeper sections for stronger swimmers.
Play spaces between activities: Playgrounds and recreation areas give kids options between outdoor adventures. "There is a playground by the entrance and near the farthest campsites as well," notes Jake S. about Mile Creek County Park. Most campgrounds have multiple play areas scattered throughout, providing options regardless of site location.
Site selection for leveling: Larger rigs should research specific sites before booking at mountain campgrounds. "We were in Site 31 and were able to get level with no issues," shares Bounding Around about their 31' Class A at Paris Mountain State Park. Sites under 30 feet in length frequently have level challenges in the region's mountain campgrounds.
Access roads can be tight: Some campgrounds have narrow approach roads that challenge larger RVs. "The road through the park back to the campground is pretty narrow at some points - we don't know how we would have managed if we had met another RV!" warns Bounding Around regarding Paris Mountain State Park. Arrival during off-peak hours (mid-week, mid-day) reduces chances of meeting oncoming traffic on narrow roads.
