"Mostly away from everyone and was right next to a 9 mile loop hiking trail. Had a great stay in our roof top tent and will be back"
"Quick last minute camping trip we didn’t want to drive hours away from home. This was fairly close and one of the few places to all booked up for the weekend."
"It’s a primitive, tucked in the woods spot on the lake. The camp sites are wonderfully spaced out. We stayed in sites you had to park and walk to, but the walk was very short."
"This review is neither negative or positive. Just how it is, so you know before you go. The park is clean and nearly every camp spot is shaded. All roads and camp spots are paved and have fire pits."
"Supplies can be picked up roughly 15 to 30 minutes away from the campground."
"Becci was able to move some things around so we could continue to camp here for a few days while our truck is being repaired.
This park is owned by a few couples."
"Head back to the end of the camping loop away from the office and find a trail that leads down to a nice swimming creek. Great place for exploring all over the park."
"Next to the lake. Quite, friendly clean. Good bathroom."
$40 - $55 / night
"Was able to contact them for anything via text or walk into office when open. Beautiful restrooms kept clean and had a combination lock on them. Will definitely stay there again when in the area."
"There is an acre of catch and release pond, a playground and jump pad for kids, a pool, some trails, several things to do."
$100 / night
"Though $38 a night and more than the other state parks surrounding south Carolina such as NC, AL, GA, MS. Bathroom was clean and showers were nice. Level campspots!"
"I stayed at Trailside Camp Site #2, which is one of their remote, primitive sites at the North Lake and all I can say is wow."
"Has fire pit and access to running water . No picnic tables and has vaulted toilets . But very nice place to get away from stress of life . Definitely will be back"
"If you're a road cyclist this is heaven, and some decent trail riding down to the lakes. Just be aware that there are no picnic tables. Still it's cheap and close to where we live in Spartanburg."
$63 - $98 / night
"It is quiet here, the lake is beautiful and the people are friendly. "
"Views of the lake from almost every site, large pool, and lots of friendly people."
$40 - $50 / night
"The grass is very nice instead of dirt or gravel pad next to you.
No picnic tables and the WiFi was just useable. I had 2-3 bars of AT&T LTE Wireless signal."
GuideWe were here one night. CG is nice, they have some seasonal sites and a lot of other sites. There are some new sites along the pond on the lower level. They also had buddy sites, perfect for a 2+ campers to gather as a group. Nice dog park, nice playground.
We would stay here again.
ScoutStayed 1 night, sites are close to each other. Small cabins available, walk-in campsites and restrooms are clean and updated. Very nice trail along the lake perimeter and Championship Disc golf course.
GuideThis is a SC State Park located in Calhoun Falls, SC. A fishing campground - the vast majority of campers had boats. Sites are great / not on top of each other. Quiet. SC needs to up the maintenance on the park. Playground equipment and trails need immediate work. Bathhouses need upgrading.
LegendStayed here for one night through the Passport America discount. Their rate for a regular site is $52 (premium is a bit more), so with the PA discount it was $26, but with taxes and a $3 “processing fee” our rate for the night came to $32. We had a FHU site, pull through, very nice and clean and pleasant.

Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Good cell reception for ATT and Verizon. Trash bins but no recycling. Heads up there’s a hefty fee for early check in. They make this very clear so there are no surprises if you show up early. We had a great stay here.
GuideWe stayed at the farm for a week. The rv site has a nice concrete pad, a picnic table, two Adirondack chairs and a metal fire pit. There are three tent camp sites by the river. The rv site is next to a building which is unoccupied and unused. We felt we had complete privacy at the site. The rv site has an electric and water hook up. The bathhouse has a shower with great water pressure, a sink and toilet. Someone cleaned it during our stay. It is shared by all campers, but this worked well during our stay. Craig the owner was very responsive to any questions. The farm is close to Travelers Rest and multiple state parks. We would gladly return.
ScoutThe campsite is very well maintained. You often see the owner themselves doing a lot of the maintenance. Plus they check on people, see if everything is going good. The campsite only has laundry service, no additional bathrooms or showers. The Wi-Fi is ok, but it drops out a lot. The closest town is cute not very much to do but just enough. The main city Greenville isn’t very far and it’s a very nice downtown area. It’s a very nice campsite, highly recommended.
ScoutHad to share a campsite with another person to park my vehicle, Mini-golf isn’t included, It’s $2 per person extra, I didn’t check in any of the other activities, Probably extra.
ScoutWe’ll kept grounds and helpful host. We did not use restrooms and it was 26 degrees however pool looks well cared for.
GuideThis is a great temporary stop. I was there for two days. It has a pit toilet. This is a federal campsite. Rangers check the campsite every day and night. Great place to camp.
