Best Campgrounds near Greer, SC

1,268 Reviews

Greer, South Carolina features several established campgrounds within 30 minutes of the city center, providing options for both tent and RV campers. Paris Mountain State Park Campground, located just west of Greer, offers wooded sites with electric and water hookups, while GSP RV Park provides full hookup sites specifically for RVs within Greer city limits. The surrounding region includes a mix of state parks and private campgrounds with varying levels of amenities, from primitive tent-only areas to fully developed RV sites with sewer connections. Most campgrounds in the region support cabin camping as additional accommodation options, particularly at Table Rock State Park and Pine Ridge Campground.

Campground roads in the Paris Mountain area can be challenging for larger vehicles due to narrow, winding routes leading to camping areas. "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," noted one camper about Paris Mountain. Many sites require advance reservations, especially during peak seasons from spring through fall. Several campgrounds in the Greer area remain open year-round, including Paris Mountain State Park, Pine Ridge Campground, and the Travelers Rest-North Greenville KOA, providing camping options regardless of season. Site levelness can be an issue at some locations, particularly those situated on mountain slopes, making them challenging for certain RVs.

The camping experience near Greer benefits from proximity to both natural areas and urban amenities. Campers report enjoying the quiet atmosphere at Paris Mountain State Park despite being close to Greenville. Several visitors mentioned the hiking opportunities available directly from campgrounds, with trails ranging from easy lakeside paths to more challenging mountain routes. The more remote primitive sites at locations like Jones Gap State Park provide a wilderness experience for those seeking solitude. As described in feedback on The Dyrt, "It's worth the 1.5 mile hike to primitive sites if you don't like camping on top of someone else." Water features enhance many camping experiences in the region, with several campgrounds offering lake access for swimming, fishing, and paddling during warmer months.

    Ash Grove Mountain Cabins & Camping

    Very Nice camping near Dupont National Forest

    If you want close access to Dupont and Pisga NF you're within minutes! The owners Mark & Esther are wonderful. We call him SouthSide Mark ( hails from South Africa). Some sites are a little tight, but fine. If you have a big rig call ahead. The cabin was wonderful. The bathhouse is older but very clean. You can tell the owners love their campers and property. The site is tree covered and hilly. We will come again, guaranteed! Watch your step. Wood Spirits are Everywhere!

    Wash Creek Dispersed Campsites #4 and #5

    Great place to stay just be aware of your surroundings

    Was a pretty nice camp site compared to a lot you just have to be aware of the people around you. Across from our campground there was another camper who seemed out of it who came up to us at 11:00pm and asked for tape for his tent. Also garbage bag and garbage on the ground at front of campsite. PEOPLE MAY NOT BE THE BEST AROUND YOU BUT THE SITES ARE GREAT!

    Rutledge Lake RV Resort

    Mixed Feelings

    This campground was decent

    Fishing pond has a lot of ducks and seaweed

    Laundry room was nice and large - easy and quick to get 3 loads done

    Waterfront site was fairly level and loved being able to walk down stairs to lake area

    Pool was clean

    Bathrooms had a gross smell to them

    During our walk there was definitely a strong chemical smell around park - it was strange

    There is a lot of airplane noise as it is close to airport

    Overall it was clean and friendly staff

    Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Golden Valley

    Disgusting with horrible customer service. Scam!

    Checked in around 6:00. The guy checking us in told us that the golf carts haven’t been working on hills(the whole place is hills) and to let it cool down for 10 minutes at a time if it overheats. We go to the cabin, which is littered outside with used baby wipes, get settled in, and by 8:10 realize the kitchen is infested with ants. Dozens of ants covering the appliances, counters, and kitchen sink. We asked for help and were told that maintenance would come to our cabin. They never showed up. We called the emergency line and it didn’t work, just put us in an endless loop and then hung up on us. Over and over again. We stayed that night because what other choice did we have? No one was available to help us with literally anything. Following morning, we pack up our stuff and tell the staff we’re leaving and all of our issues and ask for a refund on the room we spent 15 reluctant, ant-filled hours in. They escalate to a manager, and then tell us that another manager will call us“shortly”. The call never came. You don’t get what you pay for here. What’s advertised is a complete lie. You pay for a full kitchen? Too bad—you can’t cook or even store food here because there’s ants everywhere. Paid several hundred dollars for a golf cart to get around? It only works when it wants to. Call the emergency line for assistance? Yeah right! We spent$2k and they’re trying to dodge us for a refund. Disgusting place, disgusting behavior.

    Springfield - Hartwell Lake

    Gorgeous view

    I believe every site is lake front. The view of the lake is amazing and perfect. Some sites have little beaches for access to the water. Others have rocks if you want to make your way down those. Mine had rocks covered with wire thats been cut or broken so wasn’t taking my chances there. This place is huge! There is no sewer at sites but water and electric up to 50amp

    Mt Pisgah Campground — Blue Ridge Parkway

    Beautiful place on top of the mountain

    We stayed here one night on our way through the mountains. Nice camping spaces. They’re close together but well separated by the beautiful Magnolia bushes and other foliage throughout the park. Bathrooms were fairly clean and there are showers available. There are bear boxes at each site. Even saw a black bear. But it didn’t bother us.
