"Great mountain biking in the middle of Greenville County! Several small lakes originally built for Greenville's water supply have awesome stone works. CCC history still in use."
"Paris Mountain State Park
Very well maintained, very old CCC built camp near Greenville, SC.
On my way in I thought my gps had taken me astray again!"
"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."

$37 - $84 / night

TravelerThis is a well-maintained park with very friendly staff and guests. Spacious dog park, fresh gravel in the spots, fire pit area with string lights. We had a change of plans the morning of checkout, and they let us check out a little late since the park wasn’t fully booked, which was so helpful and kind of them. The park is centrally located near downtown Greer (very cute with lots of shops and restaurants) and a short drive from Greenville and Travelers Rest. We will definitely be back while passing through this area next time!
ScoutGreat mountain biking in the middle of Greenville County! Several small lakes originally built for Greenville's water supply have awesome stone works. CCC history still in use. Camp Buckhorn feels like a miniature Cades Cove from the Smokies. Also just minutes from Greenville's foodie scene if you get tired of hot dogs and s'mores.
LegendParis Mountain State Park
Very well maintained, very old CCC built camp near Greenville, SC.
On my way in I thought my gps had taken me astray again! But Paris Mountain Stare Park is literally in the back of a neighborhood in Greenville. Quite a cool little park complete with 4 lakes, back country camping and CCC architecture. The roads are skinny and the campground a bit small. The sites are mixed with pull throughs, back in and tent only. Mostly unlevel, some very unlevel . Surprisingly there are a few sites that will hold a long, big camper. If you pick a middle site you will see your neighbors a lot. Two old , mostly maintained showerhouses.
We arrived on a Thursday, so not that busy this late in the summer/autumn. The campground half filled for the weekend. Could have been due to weather coming in. Lake Placid is the first lake you see when you enter the park. The park office and gift shop are located in the old CCC building. There’s a sand beach, canoe and paddle boats rentals and a very nice bike maintenance station in one of the pavilions.
Lots of trails that are sort of marked. We mostly frequented the trails near the campground and Lake Placid. Watch out for bikers , they use most of the trails.
Overall I will visit again , it’s a quaint , busy State Park, worth the drive.
RangerVery pretty campground in the fall. Operators live onsite and were friendly. Full connections and no issues leveling. Easy in/out and close to Greenville, Paris Mountain, Travelers Rest, Swamp Rabbit Trail etc. Bathhouses were very clean, but the lights are on motion detectors which weren’t sensitive enough to pick you up in the shower. We both had a couple moments of total darkness to contend with. A camp cat hung around our site at times and loved the heat coming out of our furnace. We don’t have pets so didn’t mind. Cell coverage was great (att & Verizon), so we had no issues working our 9-5s. Love the bubbling creek next to our site, which was so pretty from our back window. We’d definitely stay again.
LegendStayed a 4 Paws numerous times now and have always had a good time. There are options as to how you want to camp. This year I had one site with a fence all the way around and most recently my site had a small fenced in yard for the dogs to use. Ownership has changed as of Thanksgiving week, we will see what the new owners do. There is a laundry, dog wash and shower building that is well maintained and very modern. We visited several EXCELLENT hiking trails that had the views! Then there’s sampling of local cuisine and shopping. Asheville, Hendersonville and Greenville are all nearby. Or you could easily sit at the campground and just hangout at the dog parks. For Thanksgiving they served a meal and had other events. They also have other event weekends that are a lot of fun.
GuideWe camped here back in August and had a blast! We brought our two dogs and they also had a great time. This site is very dog friendly (obviously), with many sites having their own fenced in yards. We opted for a site without a fence, which we regretted once we got there. The gravel at our site was painful for our dog’s feet and they had a hard time walking on it. The dog parks made up for this! There are multiple large dog parks located at the campground. The restrooms were awesome, but are single person use only. We felt like we were the only ones using them (that’s how well maintained they were). Campsites are close together but we didn’t mind. The staff was great, they helped us find our site and even helped us back our camper in. There was power and water hookup at each site. There is tons of stuff to do around the area too. Chimney Rock and Lake Lure are right around the corner and SO FUN.
ScoutSpacious long-term Resort with bathhouse, laundry facility, dog park, hiking trail, private dock on Lake Hartwell, boat storage, and more. Also allows tiny homes!
ScoutGreat place to spend a couple of nights. Went over Labor Day weekend with 5 or 6 other groups and still felt like we had full privacy. Fire pits, an outdoor shower, and a porta-potty. Cute horses and barn cats to pet and watch
GuideOur favorite for weekend getaway. Clean and well kept. Owners are fantastic. They have upgraded playground. Dog park is so nice to have on site.
