11 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks near Prosperity offer full-service camping options for motorhome travelers. Moon Landing Campground in Cross Hill provides RV sites with 50-amp electric, sewer, and water hookups on Lake Murray. Big Rig Friendly RV Resort features spacious pull-through RV pads accommodating larger vehicles, with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. Big Creek RV Park maintains 14 RV sites with 50-amp service, water connections, and fire pits, while sites at Pumphouse Road RV Park include both 30 and 50-amp service options across its 48 sites. Sites at some parks are closely spaced, requiring careful maneuvering. "Most sites are very uneven. If you have a large camper/RV it may be tough to get your rig level," noted one camper about a nearby state park.
Across the region, RV park facilities vary considerably in terms of amenities and seasonal operations. Most RV-specific parks remain open year-round, though state park campgrounds may have more limited availability during winter months. Dump stations are available at several locations including Moon Landing and Big Rig Friendly RV Resort, while others like Mr. Z's RV Park lack this convenience. Pets are generally permitted at most facilities with standard leash requirements. Some parks feature additional amenities like laundry facilities at Pumphouse Road RV Park or marina access at Moon Landing. Waterfront sites at lakeside parks tend to book quickly, particularly during summer months and weekends. Low lake levels can occasionally impact shore access at waterfront locations, and several campgrounds report uneven terrain requiring leveling blocks even on designated RV sites.
"Offering full hook up sites or primitive sites, this property has something for everyone. You can paddle out to the main lake from this location. Quiet setting."
from $20 - $40 / night
"This place was well thought out when it was being built, lots of space, great level sites, nice dog park. Fitness center and laundry are new and nice."
"Google review I found that seems to sum up the other 10 reviews: We stayed one night at Big Rig on our way from Townsend, TN to Amelia Island, FL."
from $45 - $600 / night
"I loved how Dreher Island State Park in South Carolina gave our family the best of both safety and fun, with shaded, roomy sites that included picnic tables, fire rings and well-kept bathhouses that made"
"To begin with, Dreher sets amongst a number of islands in the midst of one of South Carolina’s most pristine and largest (50,000 acres) natural waterparks – Lake Murray."

TravelerIt was very nice! My fiance and I and our kitty stopped for the night, had burgers and went on a little hike in the morning with a gorgeous view. It’s very quiet, well kept. Has 2 porta-potty’s as well. Would definitely come back.
LegendHickory Knob SP CG is tucked along the shores of Lake Thurmond in South Carolina’s rolling countryside, where the pine trees stand tall, the crickets sing backup, and life slows to a more reasonable pace. It’s the only South Carolina SP with a full resort feel – which means campers get the perks of a golf course, lodge, and restaurant nearby, without losing that back-to-nature atmosphere that makes pitching a tent or leveling out an RV worth the trouble. First impressions? Think peaceful lake views with just enough activity around to keep things lively but never hectic.
The campground itself offers a mix of RV and tent sites, with electric and water hookups for the comfort crowd and wooded, shaded spaces for the purists. Campsites are fairly roomy, with picnic tables, fire rings, and enough tree cover to keep your morning coffee shaded until you’re good and ready to face the day. Bathhouses are clean and well-kept ... nothing spa-like, but not the kind where you walk out wondering if you need a tetanus shot either. Navigation is straightforward, though larger rigs should take it slow on the curves. And here’s a bonus: campers can stroll over to the resort-style amenities like a swimming pool, tennis courts and even the on-site restaurant if they’re tired of hot dogs and s’mores.
The surrounding fun is where Hickory Knob shines. Lake Thurmond offers ample space for boating, fishing, kayaking and swimming, with more shoreline than your GPS can keep track of. The park itself has miles of hiking and biking trails that snake through pine forest and offer glimpses of deer, wild turkeys, and the occasional heron. For the golfers in the crowd, the 18-hole course is the centerpiece here – where else can you balance your day between kayaking coves in the morning and working on your short game in the afternoon? The nearby town of McCormick provides groceries, a few dining options and that small-town charm that feels refreshingly unhurried.
Insider Tips: (1) The waterfront campsites are the gems with west-facing spots for those Technicolor sunsets (but you'll want to book early if you can, because everyone has the same idea, right?); (2) Don’t feel like cooking? Head on over to the Hickory Knob Lodge restaurant, which while nothing fancy, this joint has solid Southern comfort food that tastes even better after a day outdoors; (3) Kayakers should launch near the group lodge cove where it’s calmer water with prime birdwatching opportunities; (4) If you like a side of nostalgia with your dessert, swing by Michelle’s in McCormick for classic Southern diner plates and pie that’ll make you rethink diets; (5) Want a 'higher' perspective? Sites further inland sit at slightly higher elevation, meaning more shade, although fewer lake views, but less wind off the water, so choose based on your style of camping comfort.
Happy Camping!
ScoutThis is a restricted use Army Travel Camp managed through MWR. It is open only to those holding military ID cards.
GuideI 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.!
ScoutWhen I moved here in October 2025 Tom and Jen were helpful. The lot however hadn’t been cleaned in quite some time. The dead leaves and pine needles were at least 2 inches thick and I was left to clean them by myself. The amenities are far below substandard and barely work. If you need to shower at the office pray the hot water is working before going. It doesn’t work more than it works. There are always campground wide water and electric issues. The mail carrier delivers all mail to the office and they distribute to mailboxes when they feel like it unless Jen has something against you then she brags to other people in the campground how she is shredding your mail. I moved out in July 2026 and had paid my rent a week early but found a place to move the day after paying and they refused to reimburse the rent. They also raised the 6 times as well as forced all residents to pay for WiFi that was very inadequate to watch tv with so you pay for their WiFi as well as a second WiFi that actually works. I am not telling you to not move or camp here just want you to be informed of what you’ll be dealing with.
ScoutI have stayed at brickhouse multiple times, and will stay again in the future. It’s always quiet, and relaxing! No potable water, so make sure you bring plenty with you, no bath houses, only privy toilets.
TravelerI stayed for weeks in May 2026. The campground is easy to get to, with the non-seasonal sites convenient to the restroom, which is a well maintained vault toilet. The water spigot is there too. The wooded sites are pleasantly separate and equipped with only a fire ring, so bring any tables and chairs you may need. I had Verizon and had barely any connection at all. Starlink worked ok. Solar power is in short supply due to trees.
ScoutFantastic campground. This campground has made many recent improvements. It comes with full hook up and Wi-Fi. The campground is pet friendly and they have laundry room rooms and bathrooms on site friendly staff.
RangerA lot of the sites are situated for RVs. If you want to hammock camp, absolutely grab site T-15. It's spacious, private, and has a lot of water frontage. It's a terrible tent site but a perfect hammock site.
Camping options near Prosperity, South Carolina include multiple established RV parks and campgrounds within a 30-mile radius. Located in the Piedmont region between Columbia and Greenville, this area experiences mild winters and hot, humid summers with average temperatures ranging from 35°F to 92°F throughout the year. Lake Wateree and Lake Murray provide water-based recreation opportunities, while the surrounding countryside features rolling hills and mixed hardwood forests with elevations between 300-500 feet.
Lakeside recreation: Wateree Lake RV Park & Marina provides direct lake access with a "super nice beach area to spend a day on the water with your family," according to camper Jake. The park maintains a boat ramp and deck area for fishing or relaxation.
Trail exploration: Broad River Campground features an extensive trail system behind the campground. "I don't think a lot of people knew the scope of how extensive the trail system was - but it was really pretty back there and we explored and found a lot of beautiful little places," notes camper Will J.
Water activities: Visitors to the region can enjoy fishing, boating, and paddling opportunities. At Big Creek RV Park, "you can paddle out to the main lake from this location" in a quiet setting, according to Ashley F. Many campgrounds in the area provide direct water access for recreation.
Clean, well-maintained facilities: Plum Branch RV Park receives praise for its quiet atmosphere and waterfront location. Reviewer robins662 describes it as "very quiet and right near the water," while Kevin H. notes the "really pleasant staff. Friendly and were helpful and obliging."
Spacious campsites: Big Rig Friendly RV Resort features "large, level and clean" sites according to John P. Another camper, Nicole C., adds that "this place was well thought out when it was being built, lots of space, great level sites, nice dog park."
Privacy options: Some campgrounds offer secluded sites with vegetation buffers. At Broad River Campground, camper Will J. appreciated getting "one of the spread out sites" noting that "our spot provided enough area to let our dog have a good amount of space on the lead."
Seasonal considerations: Summer months (June-August) see high temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F with afternoon thunderstorms common. Winter camping (December-February) requires preparation for occasional freezing temperatures, though snow is rare.
Reservation requirements: Popular campgrounds fill quickly during peak seasons. Moon Landing Campground has activity restrictions worth noting, as Wolf R.N. points out: "No tent camping no fishing and no swimming. Why go?"
Variable cell service: Mobile coverage can be spotty throughout the region. At Plum Branch RV Park, Kevin H. tested multiple carriers: "Cricket: 7.98dn, 0.84up; ATT: 27.69, 0.3 up; Visible: 7.2dn, 1.2up; Verizon: 44.9dn, 1.88 up; T-mobile mifi: no 4G nor 5G service."
Distance to services: Many campgrounds are located in rural areas. Kim S. notes about Broad River Campground: "Campground is pretty far from restaurants, grocery stores, etc. so plan accordingly."
Shade availability: For summer camping with children, consider tree cover. Chad L. explains that at Wateree Lake RV Park & Marina, "Riverside is heavily wooded which provides a ton of shade on the hot summer days. Taylor Creek is newer with less trees providing lots of open space."
Amenities access: Look for campgrounds with family-friendly facilities. Big Rig Friendly RV Resort offers a "fitness center and laundry are new and nice" plus a "beautiful pool" according to reviewers Nicole C. and Bill M.
Water safety planning: Several campgrounds offer water access but with varying safety features. Jake at Wateree Lake RV Park notes that "the beach area is super nice to spend a day on the water with your family," providing safer shoreline water play.
Site leveling needs: Many RV sites in the region require leveling equipment. At Plum Branch RV Park, Kevin H. observed "newish pad was still soft but pretty level" while noting some infrastructure quirks: "sewer pipes stick out a good 6 or 8 inches. Electric posts are new but have a meter right below plugs, so surge suppressor gets to hang sideways."
Hookup variations: RV campers should verify specific hookups before booking. At Big Creek RV Park, Ashley F. mentions they offer "full hook up sites or primitive sites, this property has something for everyone."
Space considerations: For larger RVs, check site dimensions carefully. Lisa E. appreciated Big Rig Friendly RV Resort's online reservation system where "we were able to reserve online and even pick our camping spot. It has full hookups and we were able to find the spot easily even in the dark."
