    Croft State Park Campground's vast network of trails accommodates pets for hiking and outdoor exploration. Sites have both water and electric hookups, with gravel surfaces that are primarily designed for RVs but also suitable for tent camping. Campers regularly bring their dogs to enjoy the park's natural areas, though pets must be leashed at all times. Primitive camping areas provide more seclusion while still being pet-friendly. The campground features clean bathhouses, picnic tables, and fire rings at each site, with many overlooking Lake Craig through the trees. The yellow jacket population can be problematic during certain seasons for both pets and owners. Both camping loops welcome pets, with Loop A offering more spacious sites than Loop B.

    Pine Ridge Campground and Spacious Skies Peach Haven both accommodate pets at their cabin sites, providing options beyond traditional tent or RV camping with animals. Trails throughout the region offer excellent opportunities for dog walking, with Croft's creek access points giving pets places to cool off during summer months. Most campgrounds in the area require pets to remain on leashes no longer than six feet. Campers with dogs appreciate the fishing opportunities at Croft's lake, where a concrete walkway along the shore provides easy pet access. The nearby equestrian facilities attract visitors with horses, though these areas remain separate from the main camping zones. Many campgrounds offer year-round availability, making them suitable for pet owners seeking outdoor accommodations regardless of season. The primitive camping option at Croft provides a more rustic experience while still allowing pets to join their owners.

      John H. Moss Lake Campground

      It’s a small, clean campground but we are next to a busy road (site 28) and also the entrance to the public access of Moss Lake. It’s a tight squeeze for us as a 33’ fifth wheel.

      Broad River Campground

      Beware!

      If you ever plan on visiting Shelby / Broad River KOA Holiday Campground and have women or kids in your party, and y'all rent a unit from them, I'd rethink it or keep the door locked at all times. Our visit was wonderful up until the point a maintenance worker walks straight up in here on us.

      John H. Moss Lake Campground

      Good for small rigs

      Tight fit, we stayed here with our 20ft trailer and it is a little tight. The site was at a slight angle and I noticed a lot of sites are the same way. Plus side is there is a security gate with code entry. Easy access to lake. Good clean boathouse and nice full hookups.

      Enoree River Winery

      A Wonderful Winery Experience and Overnight Stay!

      What a lovely little find! We spent the night at Enoree River Vineyards & Winery and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Arriving in our RV was a bit of a squeeze navigating the trees near the entrance, but we managed to get through without any problems.

      Once settled, we headed inside for a wine tasting, and that’s where the experience really shone. Kelly looked after us and was absolutely delightful—friendly, welcoming, and a pleasure to chat with. She made the tasting even more enjoyable.

      The wines were excellent, the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, and we enjoyed ourselves so much that we couldn’t resist leaving with three bottles!

      A fantastic place to spend the night, unwind, and enjoy some delicious local wine. We’d happily visit again and would definitely recommend it!

      Newberry / I-26 / Sumter NF KOA

      Great campground.

      I had avoided KOA in the past as I heard not great things about it, but I have to rethink my position after this visit. The staff really seemed to care about the facilities and take great care of them.!

      Black Forest Family Camping Resort

      Great for families

      We absolutely loved our experience at Black Forest. The owners genuinely care about your stay. They were only about half full when we went so they suggested a couple different sites for us to be spaced out from other people for privacy. When we arrived at our site we called the desk and asked if we could actually move to the one right next to it and they said sure no problem. Even if you were right next to others there are trees for at least a visual barrier at most sites. And you are fully in the woods so it isn’t that RV park feel. The bathhouses are clean and well maintained. The store at the check-in has everything you may have forgotten and the prices are actually reasonable. This place is very close to the restaurants on cedar mountain, less than 10 minute drive to everything. This was our first trip with our new 29ft camper trailer and I was nervous about backing into the site, but the way they have them set up you have plenty of room so it’s easy. The internet was a little spotty so we weren’t able to work remotely as planned but for us it wasn’t a big deal and we had enough cell service to send texts here and there. I read that the pool is heated but it was pretty cold!! But the weather was very hot when we were here so we didn’t mind that at all, we loved the pool.

      Table Rock State Park Campground

      White Oak Campground

      Semi private campground, super clean bathrooms, cell signal is spotty and there are no trails or water nearby. So, some pluses and some minuses. Also, although our campsite was level (unlike some), it was quite muddy and the utility hookups and fire ring were on opposite sides of where they should be.

    Guide to Pauline

    Croft State Park Campground provides year-round accommodations for pets with designated camping loops and walking trails. The 7,000-acre park welcomes dogs at all campsites throughout its main camping areas, with no breed restrictions observed. Campsites feature water and electric hookups, fire rings, and picnic tables for comfortable stays with pets. The park maintains clean, well-maintained bathhouses and sanitary dump facilities for RV campers. Some campers note the yellow jackets can be problematic during certain seasons, so proper food storage is essential when camping with pets.

    Several trails throughout Croft State Park accommodate dog walking, with both hiking and mountain biking paths available for exploring with leashed pets. The park sits alongside Lake Craig where dogs can access water areas, though swimming is not permitted in the lake itself. A creek accessible via trail from the upper campground offers a swimming spot during warmer months. The park's expansive equestrian facilities mean campers with dogs should be aware of horses on shared trails. Pets must be leashed when outside camping units, and waste disposal is expected. Stone campsite surfaces may not be ideal for tent camping with pets, as several reviewers mentioned discomfort on the gravel sites. Spacious sites and relative quiet make this location suitable for campers seeking peaceful outings with their pets.
