Best RV Parks & Resorts near McCormick, SC

458 Reviews

Multiple established RV parks populate the area surrounding Lake Thurmond near McCormick, South Carolina. Plum Branch RV Park features 45 sites with electric, water, and sewer hookups suitable for large rigs. The park offers full hookup sites with 50-amp electrical service and accommodates big rigs with pull-through options. Big Water Marina & RV Park maintains 40 sites with water and electric hookups, while Leroys Ferry provides more basic accommodations with picnic tables but no hookups for RVers seeking a more primitive experience. Hester's Bottoms Family Campground contains 44 sites with water and electric connections. "Sites were clean and spacious. Bath houses were pretty clean. There is water and electric at each site for those who are in an RV but the dump sites are pretty close by."

Seasonal considerations affect availability at several parks in the region. Hamilton Branch State Park remains popular among RVers for its spacious waterfront sites, though reservations are recommended, especially during peak seasons. Cell service varies throughout the area, with Verizon generally providing the most reliable coverage. Most RV parks in the region allow pets, with specific restrictions posted at park entrances. Dump stations are available at Pointes West Army Resort and Moon Landing Campground for those staying at parks without sewer hookups. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, RV sites near the water tend to fill quickly, particularly at Petersburg Campground where many sites offer direct lake access. Road conditions within most parks are paved but can become rutted in certain areas during rainy weather.

    Springfield - Hartwell Lake

    Nice well kept Corp of Engineers campground

    This is a typical Corp of Engineers campground, well kept with a variety of pull through and back-in sites.  Sites are 50/30/20 electric with water, picnic table and fire ring.  Many sites have a tent pad, are very level packed gravel/sand and well situated with very few having very close neighbors.  Shade is at a premium on some sites due to cutting of pine trees a couple of years ago but almost all are waterfront with an excellent view.  Some sites have direct access to the water allowing boats right at the site and swimming.  The swimming beach is very nice and well maintained as are the playgrounds.  Three bath houses are convenient to all loops, well maintained and clean.  Cell service is very good as is over the air TV with numerous channels available.  The dump station is easy in/out.  Sites 10 through 40 have awesome views of Lake Hartwell.

    Mistletoe State Park Campground

    Gorgeous and Tranquil in the Woods

    This place was so perfect and our first camping experience with our new 40 foot RV! Check-in was easy and they even let us change to a pull-through site last minute. The grounds were sooooo gorgeous! Trees everywhere. Walking trails. And of course the lake. We went during fall colors so it was really magical.

    PROS: Clean restrooms, spacious RV sites (they felt very private), many bathhouses within walking distance, friendly staff, nice gift shop 

    CONS: wet firewood and of course you had to buy from them, playground very small- made more for toddlers/preschool age, less than 5 years old, long walk to the dumpsters

    Watson Mill Bridge State Park Campground

    Great little state park

    Real friendly staff. Nicely laid out, but I guess could be challenging for really big rigs. W & E with dump station and pretty good facilities

    Cell coverage a little challenging but managed to get enough download for Visible to stream Netflix. Too many trees to break out Starlink

    Trails are a fun walk.

    Petersburg - J Strom Thurmond Lake

    Beautiful campsites

    This campground has magnificent views, spacious sites, picnic tables, firepits, power (30 and 50 amp) and water hookups, dump station, bathrooms, and groomed swimming area.

    The site (21) was very easy to pull through and had a wonderful view of the lake. I had to try to see my neighbors at the next site because the foliage separated the sites well. I saw a grounds person actively maintaining the empty sites which explains how well kept this campground is. The access roads are well kept.

    Winfield - J Strom Thurmond Lake

    Very nice place !

    This place has some great sites. Our site was #25. It was a pull through with 30 and 50 amp plugs. It’s a level lot with a grill, fire ring, picnic table and another small table. It’s right on the lake. There is a retaining wall at the water so it’s about a 3” step to the water. We plan to bring a sep ladder next time. Beautiful place to spend your time camping.

    Watson Mill Bridge State Park Campground

    Small and nice, Great place for quiet

    Large sites in a wooded area. Plenty of room with pull through and back in sites. Older campground but serene with great hiking trails and awesome scenery. We live very close to this park yet this was the first time camping here. This was the trial run for our latest rig so basically a shakedown cruise. The campsite was fairly level and with forest off the door side of the Camper. Only 30 A power here so we had to watch what we were running electrically. They did have 2 30A outlets but at this time we did not have the double 30 to 50 amp adapter. We will be staying here again whenever we want a quick weekend getaway.

    Hamilton Branch State Park Campground

    Great spacious site on the water, lots of privacy

    We arrived at last light, and I am glad that we had daylight while we backed in. Lovely site, spacious. Sites 98 & 99  T off the connector road. Layout it such that your RV is parallel to the road, overlooking the water which is 80- 100 feet away. Your neighbors are a fair distance away, but your head and tail of the RV points to them- so once inside you're not even aware of them. We are 30 foot fifth wheel with F250, and i imagine the back-in would have been more challenging if 99 was occupied.  Nice family oriented park. Water and electric all good, dump station on way out. 

    Did not use facilities, but apparently showers and toilets are a little drive away.

    Wood: We drove out of the park, turned left and found an honor-system wood kiosk on parallel road - just over the railroad tracks. $5 for a small bundle, but it was worth it to us.

    Leveling was not an issue.

    Hosts keep site nice and clean,

    Data: Visible worked great (25 mbs up & down, so no need to break out hotspots, Starlink etc

    Petersburg - J Strom Thurmond Lake

    Another great COE campground We love this place

    This time we’re in site 7-first time in this loop. Backing in took a few minutes, not the simplest but achievable for our 30 ft fifth wheel. Campsite excellent- electric & water, plenty big site-fire ring and picnic table

    Also love trail from here to dam wall - did a bit of bush trail cycling. Awesome

    Heritage RV Park

    Nice Sites for a Good Price

    This is a clean well-cared RV park that is a nice place to stay but a bit of a no- frills park. We were busy exploring the town so it was really just a place to park our RV and the fact that there were not many amenities was fine with us. The park is close to I-20 and I-520 so there is easy on/off and it is a great place for an overnight if you are just traveling thru. At $35/night with full hook-up, wifi, paved patio this was a pretty good bargain. 

    The person who checked us in was nice and helpful and the process was speedy. All the roads are wide and easy to navigate. The sites are level and we had no problem fitting our RV and tow car in a back-in site. Our driveway was gravel/sand but the patio was paved with a picnic table. There is no cable but there is a clear view to the sky if you have satellite and we were able to receive numerous television channels with our antenna. Note that there are no restrooms or laundry. As with many RV parks, the sites are close together and since this is a fairly new park there are no large shade trees. Note: that there are no fire pits and campfires allowed. 

    Numerous stores and restaurants are nearby and there is lots to do in Augusta.  There is a nice walking path by the canal downtown where you may see some urban wildlife. Would highly recommend visiting the U.S Army Signal Corps Museum at Fort Gordon and the Augusta Canal National Heritage Area Interpretive Center downtown. We also did a narrated canal boat tour which was very informative and entertaining. Both were very interesting!
