Keowee-Toxaway State Park and Table Rock State Park feature upscale glamping accommodations near Sunset, South Carolina, with several luxury canvas cabins and safari-style tents. The glamping units at these parks include amenities not found in standard camping, such as electricity, comfortable queen beds with linens, private decks, and climate control systems. Both locations provide glamping guests with private fire rings, picnic tables, and easy access to Lake Keowee's shoreline. These eco-friendly glamping options blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings while offering modern conveniences like hot showers and clean facilities. A recent visitor noted, "The cabins are amazing. Very clean as well. I stayed here many times as a student at Clemson. Only a 45 minute drive."

Glamping guests enjoy private kayak launches and swimming areas along Lake Keowee's shoreline, with particularly stunning sunset views from the lakefront sites. The nearby visitor center features historical displays and relief maps to help orient guests to local attractions. One camper shared, "We love the campground. There is a wonderful trail right beside the site in the loop and it will take you down to a private beach area that overlooks the lake and it is especially beautiful at sunset." During summer months, glamping guests can access nearby Fall Creek Beach, located approximately two miles from the main glamping area, offering additional swimming opportunities.
"Great for families, as there are drive up camp sites with fire pits and plenty of space, and spread out so it still feels like you have privacy. Lots of great hikes."
"The site was shaded and wasn’t too close to my camping neighbors, but the biggest problem was dealing with the ants—big black ants, small black ants, and other tiny ants."
"Our site was surrounded by trees, plenty of options for hammocking/pitching a tent. It does include a fire pit with a grill grate option."
"The only reason I dinged it from five stars is because of the road noise. Other than that this place is beautiful! Great hike to a beautiful lake! Simple amenities."
"We spent 2 nights in one of the cabins in this beautiful state park during a road trip through South Carolina. And let me say, 2 nights was not enough! The cabin itself was very well kept."
"Situated on a lake. Campgrounds were close together with not enough trees for sound barriers but plenty of trees for hammocks."
"Fire pit is on bricks. Bathhouse is immaculate. The park has a great visitors center, lots of trails for hiking and seeing waterfalls, campground is pristine, and non-tent sites have full hookups."
"Each site has a fire pit and a picnic table. The hikes to the waterfalls are easily accessible and totally worth it. If you aren’t into primitive camping this might not be for you."

ScoutWe stayed for a week in late October. Quiet and secluded but right outside of Franklin. Very. Nicely decorated. Has small campstore, very nice laundryroom, and a guest event center. Rick, the campsite host, helped me get backed in and asked if I needed any more help. Some pull-throughs. Some sites are a little tight but others really nice. We will definitely come back.
ScoutWhatever person or group of persons designed the campground were clueless as to how to develop a campground. Sites are packed in the most preposterous configuration to have tents, trailers motorhomes all jammed together nearly touching each other with zero privacy. Come for the hikes and views of the gorge but come with the lowest expectations for the campground and you’ll be fine
TravelerMy son, daughter-in-law, and twin grandchildren, and I camped here to watch the full solar eclipse in 2017. We had a beautiful tent site. There was a little playground that the kids really enjoyed and abundant shade at the camping site. Bathrooms were clean, wood for campfires was available, and we had a wonderful time.
TravelerThis place is a nice campground, quiet and the guests (during our stay) respect others by keeping the noise down. The spaces are set up to maximize privacy between sites. There is no cell phone service (to do this report we are in a picnic area by a small lake and I can get cell as well as internet on my travelfi device) sos is the only access. I normally listen to audio books but not while here. On my computer I could see three others with low signals; they might have had a better device/provider. The spots tend to the small back in typically found in campsites built before RVs got really big, type. There is another camping area I haven’t been to yet and I did see a large over lander (looks indestructible and tall/long) towable head that way and the campground attendant didn’t predict any problems so perhaps there are larger spots elsewhere. This place has single person shower rooms and nice flush toilets. The whole place is set in woodland so it isn’t like a commercial RV place that was more concerned with volume over aesthetics. This is a lovely spot with ample amenities (my space had no hookups) for our type of camping (toilets, trash, quiet neighbors, semi private spaces) just zero phone or internet.
ScoutWalk to trail sites, clean bathrooms, sites close together…water and electric at site. Sites are sloped gravel.
TravelerStayed 1 week in site 12. Great small campground, clean and quiet. Jojo was a great host and 5pm happy hour gathering was fun. Will DEFINITELY return. Its a great spot for launching adventures.
TravelerThe view is worth it and is as advertised! We were in the first spot as you enter the park. We were concerned with noise, but it was not even an issue.
Our spot was right on the ridge and was stunning. I don’t think I closed the blinds on that side of the trailer.
Loss of star because of the road in/out. It’s one lane gravel and windy. It’s ok as long as you don’t meet anyone on the road. Dryer took 2 cycles to dry 2 towels and a few tshirts.
ScoutBathrooms are small and few. Interstate is close. Setting is beautiful and KOA is clean with friendly staff. Will stay again.
GuideThis is our first time coming here. We booked online, which was simple The campground is very well kept. The sites aren’t any closer together than your average campground. It seems to me that the owners are conscientious about keeping everyone spaced out so you don’t have anyone right on top of you. (The campground was not full during our visit) The only con to this place is you don’t get to pick your site. It’s assigned to you. I will said that I asked specifically for a shady spot & they obliged me. (Very nice owners) Not all of the sites are level but hey, that’s was risers are for 🤷🏻♀️ We didn’t have any issues after a couple of well placed risers. Even though the highway is close you don’t notice the traffic noise. It’s very quiet at night. When you arrive & get checked in, someone escorts you to your site & helps get you backed in. They will pick up, fill & return your propane tanks. You just have to leave your tank @ the edge of your camp site. If you leave your trash at the edge of your site they pick it up for you. They will also deliver firewood as well as a fire pit if you don’t have one.
Table Rock State Park and Keowee-Toxaway State Park offer seasonal accessibility varying throughout the year. Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains with elevations ranging from 800-1,200 feet, the camping areas experience moderate temperature fluctuations between seasons. During summer months, temperatures often reach into the 90s while winter nights can drop below freezing, affecting water systems and trail conditions at some sites.
Mountain biking access points: Multiple access points connect directly to camping areas at Gorges State Park. "This park covers 7,000+ acres and hosts the start of the trail into Pisgah National Forest to the famous Rainbow Falls. Activities in the surrounding area include lots of waterfalls, hiking, mountain biking, golf, shopping and dining in the Highlands," notes a reviewer.
Fishing at stocked locations: Lake Keowee offers year-round fishing with multiple species available. A camper at South Cove County Park called it a "great campground with great hosts and great fishing. Beautiful lake with crystal clear water. Easy access."
Primitive camping options: For those seeking more seclusion than glamping provides. "There are 3 trailside primitive campsites that are on a peninsula overlooking Lake Keowee. Although only one of them is considered on the shore, they are all within walking distance from the shore. But make sure to check the water level; I've had to help push boats back into the water a few times," advises a Keowee-Toxaway camper.
Proximity to multiple recreation areas: Many glamping sites serve as ideal base camps. "Parts of the trail feature waterfalls and overlooks onto the lake which is a great photo opportunity. Apart from hiking in, there is a canoe/kayak ramp available about 1/2 mile to the campsites," notes a Keowee-Toxaway visitor.
Seasonal waterfall viewing: The area features dozens of accessible waterfalls. "The Table Rock trail is a must if you are nearby! It is pretty strenuous especially if you have health issues but is well worth the trek to the top. Just make sure that if you hike during the winter to give yourself plenty of time to finish the trail," advises a Table Rock State Park camper.
Wildlife observation opportunities: The forest setting provides wildlife viewing. "We saw deer, squirrels, birds, snakes, and many salamanders. There are many waterfalls in the area and many places to hike," reports an Oconee State Park visitor.
Limited cellular reception: Connectivity varies significantly between sites. A camper at Adventure Village reported: "We 'work from wheels' so some type of reliable internet is a must. Our entire business is online. Phones would show 1 bar 4G LTE, but we could not get anything data related to come through well. The good news here, is that we could make phone calls with good reception and reliability."
Seasonal road conditions: Some locations require advanced planning. "The last 10 miles out of Brevard were curvy and had some grades. And the last 2 miles into the campground had I would guess a couple of 10% grades both up and down," warns a Gorges State Park visitor.
Water level fluctuations: Lake levels can change rapidly. "Make sure to check the water level; I've had to help push boats back into the water a few times and there has also been instances when our canoe floated off when the water rose," notes a Keowee-Toxaway camper.
Beginner-friendly fishing areas: Multiple shoreline options exist for introducing children to fishing. At South Cove County Park, "there is a really nice sandy beach area for swimming. You can buy camp wood at a very reasonable price," reports a visitor.
Playground proximity: Several glamping sites feature nearby play areas. "There are several large play areas in walking distance. There appeared to be beautiful lake views from almost every site," notes a South Cove County Park camper.
Family-oriented campsites: Oconee State Park offers family-friendly configurations. A visitor described it as having "incredibly secluded and quiet" cabins, noting "we had a great place to hang hammocks near the fire pit and small trails behind the cabin to explore."
Site levelness considerations: Pay attention to site descriptions and terrain. At Cherry Hill Campground, "The campsite I was at had a level tent pad, which was gravel. There was a picnic table and a freeze hydrant for water. I checked the hydrant before deciding since the freeze hydrant on my last camping trip did not work."
Full hookup limitations: Not all sites offer complete RV services. "This is a decent campground with a small RV loop and a handful of sites with water and electric... well if the electric actually worked. Twice in one week this campground experienced a complete and total power outage each of which lasted for hours," reported a Keowee-Toxaway visitor.
Overnight access restrictions: Some glamping locations have entrance restrictions. At South Cove County Park, "The campground has a gate that gets locked at 10 pm. You can leave but you can't come back into the campground after the gate gets locked."
