"There were not too many people camping during our visit, but it could be that not many people want to stand the South Carolina heat!"
$40 - $50 / night
"It is a shock to the system moving from the intense South Carolina heat into the bath house. However, it was a nice break from the heat."
TravelerSix points @ Raven Micro Farm LLC is a fully loaded Glamping site. Equip with a Bell tent, thick Japanese cotton sleeping mat, linens, full-size propane grill, cookware, utensils, dishware, and more.
This is a walk-in site, bring your hiking boots. The property is slightly hilly.
Be advised that the site is private excluding when we are out doing farm chores or as the animals are rotated.
GuideThere are quite a variety of things to do at this state park, and the camp sites are spacious. There is a little store where you can buy any of the little things you may have forgotten. There were not too many people camping during our visit, but it could be that not many people want to stand the South Carolina heat! Either way, it made the visit quiet. There are also plenty of geocaches around, if you're into that. There are 2 places to shower in the campground, so I imagine that once it fills up, you may have to wait to shower. It was pretty clean and the water was clear, so I guess you could just go for a swim! I wish we had brought our tubes and some rope to float out on the water!
LegendI gave this campground four stars, but only for RVs and travel trailers. I would not give it four stars for tent campers. Tent campers would have a hard time finding a suitable site that would not be too rocky. When I checked in, the lady was nice enough to find a site with grass behind the gravel so I could set up my tent. She didn’t warn me that it was sloped. With that said, it is a campground in a beautiful setting. The lake and the sitting area beside the lake are both beautiful. There is a paved walkway down to the lake to a sitting area and a dock. The bath house was air conditioned, almost too much. It is a shock to the system moving from the intense South Carolina heat into the bath house. However, it was a nice break from the heat. Be aware that when you take a shower, you may have to wait a few minutes for the hot water to start. When I first turned it on, I wondered if there was any hot water. Eventually it came, and it was HOT, so I had to adjust it quickly. Also, take your own hand soap with you. There are paper towels but no soap. There are several trails, and you can rent boats, peddle boats, canoes, and kayaks. There is also a disc golf course. If I had known beforehand, I would have taken my own discs. That’s my fault for not doing the research. My favorite part of this camping experience was waking up early in the morning and sitting by the lake. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to capture a photo of the ducks taking off and flying in a perfect v-formation, but it was so peaceful there. Overall, this is a great campground to get away from civilization.
TravelerVery nice campground. Lots of trees. Must have access to Shaw afb to stay. $20 per night. No long term prices. No stay limit.
ScoutEden is a great weekend escape from city life! A place to recharge and unplug from everyday life. There's alot to do here and tons of other outdoor activities within a few minutes' drive, and there's a guide book that lists it all.
ScoutWas a nice experience. Quite and friendly neighbors. Sites were gravel and level. Bath house were clean and well maintained. Enjoyed my stay.
TravelerAwesome park with many trails and a pond for the kids to swim!
ScoutLee State Park is a simple park. Check out the artesian wells and other nature spots. Bath houses were well kept. Only drawback would be this park is an equestrian park so you will most likely encounter flies during the warmer months. Sites are better than some state parks we have visited.
GuideNice short boardwalk area to explore. Loved the spring water. Love seeing the horses around the campsites.
