"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."
"The cabins have all of the amenities that you need for a week of hiking, biking, and exploring the South Carolina mountains. It's close to Caesar's Head or Dupont Forest."
"South Carolina SPs currently have a ban on bringing in firewood, forcing me to buy some at the camp store, leading to my only criticism: The wood was still very green and required significant work to get"
"This campground has 19 trail side sites that are all great and not far from the Middle Saluda River which runs through the middle of the park."
"I used site 7 because an oncoming storm made me bug out of my trailside plans. Gorgeous site, a bit chilly by the river but beautiful and close enough to still use the park bathrooms!"
$37 - $84 / night
"Gravel campsite with paved entrances, 30/50 electric, and picnic table. Situated on the edge of the beautiful Pisgah National Forest. Ranger station nearby. Brevard just outside gate."
"It's located right at the entrance to the forest, close to amenities such as Walmart supercenter, gas stations, breweries, restaurants, a great BBQ place and an ice cream joint."
"The cabins have electricity, but the water pump is outside and the bathrooms and showers are communal (but clean). There is a full size bed and two bunk beds in each one."
"Very clean,natural, beautiful trees , and a nice location. It is run by a very nice family. We were close to amazing waterfalls and hikes in DuPont forest."
"Easy in/out and close to Greenville, Paris Mountain, Travelers Rest, Swamp Rabbit Trail etc."
"Campground is easy to get to and tucked into the woods."
$38 - $48 / night
"A swimming lake with slide. Boats, zip line, fishing, a game room, move room. Only bad thing is the bad house are probably the worst I have ever used."
"The lake is amazing and it is called the Caribbean of South Carolina for a reason."
"There are few places in the southeast that are as beautiful as the crystal-clear waters of Lake Jocassee!"
$40 - $50 / night
"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."
"Nearby locally owned eateries. Plentiful asphalt plus off road bicycling. 2024 shower and bathroom."
$35 - $45 / night
"Close to Caesars Head and Table Rock. Full hookups, and the staff helps you back in and level up. Great service. Short drive to grocery and fresh produce stands."
"The pull through sites at the entrance to the campground are just fine with everything you need. The campsites at the top of the hill are awesome!!"
TravelerMore a long-term RV/permanent living in very old campers. The area has no cell service in the area. During the stay, the wifi was in and out. But when it was working, sreaming videos was very poor, always buffering. The owners are very nice and are working to update the property.
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.
ScoutWe stayed at Site 1 and it was lovely. The rushing water (mini waterfall?) is the highlight of the site and our stay. There is much privacy between sites and the hosts visited and made us feel welcome. The obvious tent site is quite sloped and if we stay again, we will set up closer to the road to find a more level spot. The tree canopy by the water allowed us to enjoy a bonfire even in a light rain. The composting toilet is a bit of a walk so we mostly took care of business at our site in our luggable loo. There did not seem to be a trash receptacle on site so we took our garbage home for disposal. Apparently this site is also listed on Hip Camp and there seems to be a reservation integration challenge. They were double booked for the site on the second night but the second party was accommodated by a space in the pasture.
ScoutMy family are currently living in a 5th wheel and I am trying to find a cheap yearly membership somewhere I think this app will help me.
GuideLoved this place by the river! Walking trails surround the CG and high quality mountain bike trails nearby. The owner is a cool guy and staff are friendly. Lots of different sites to choose from (of course riverside are in demand). The sites themselves vary in privacy and space but overall acceptable. Fire pits, picnic bench, some sites with bear boxes, warm showers, clean toilets, tent pads, very shady, firewood and ice available, WiFi only available near a trailhead parking lot, catch and release fishing. Most visitors are here for mountain biking from what I could tell. I do however have one critique: the morning I checked out a tree cutter company came out at 8 AM to cut some trees down right next to me. I understand the need to maintain forestry but it would’ve been nice to have a heads up a day before. Other than that I still highly recommend this place for camping and enjoying the National Forest surrounding you.
GuideIf you need a decent place to tent camp in the city for brief period, this is a quaint tucked away place. The host managers are extremely nice. The tent campground itself is quite small and sites are very close to each other. Fire pits, tent pads, shady, WiFi, water, power, hot showers, firewood available, relatively quiet from road noise, secure. Buffering the campground from the main busy road is an RV section. $30 night for tent camping.
GuideSpring camping at Davidson River is always good, usual intermittent rain storms but great location. Campground is close to Brevard and easily accessible via a bike / walking trail with a new bridge over the Davidson. The Hub is just down the road, usually has a food truck, always has cold beer and a great bike shop. Some camping supplies as well. Site 037 in Apple Loop has a nice long parking spot with a large grass area. Decent privacy, site 036 to the left is kind of close, site 039 to the right is buffered by trees, brushes.
ScoutSpent 10 days here and was amazing. You will never find a nicer camp host and the spot was immaculate. Easy access with ducks(with babies). geese.turkeys and a large assortment of birds. Had a really nice time here and is very close to Asheville and Black Mountain. Highly recommend

ScoutFYI - this is not showing as closed on NFS site - right after the North Mills River Campground Yellow Gap road is gated and closed due to damage from Helene in Sep 2024. A call to Pisgah Forest Service office confirmed it may be quite a bit before it is opened up as there are other priority areas they are currently working on.
