            5 ⭐️ Hospitality— Great RV Park

            We called with very short notice looking for an overnight site. Though the campground was booked, the owners so graciously allowed us to park in the overflow parking which included water & electric. We even arrived at 10pm, and they were waiting at the gate for us! We were so pleased with the owner’s generosity and hospitality. We will definitely be back to take advantage of the swimming pond, paddle boats, fishing & playground!

            This is one of our favorite spots! We can boat, fish, ride our golf cart, hang out by the fire and just enjoy the moment. It also has wonderful handicap accommodations. Hands down one of our favorites!

            Great camp site!

            We stayed here for our son’s first birthday, in campsite 30! It was beautiful and we felt like we had plenty of privacy. Our site had a trail attached to the back of it which was really nice for hiking and it was perfect distance from the bathroom! On the topic of the bathroom, the toilets were CLEAN! And I mean we were there for 24 hours and the bathroom was cleaned at least twice. Really nice, they might look a little scary on the outside though but don’t mind that any bit.

            For people that love hammocks, site 29 (right next to ours) has a bunch of perfect hammock trees. If we go again we will try to stay in that spot! Great place to stay.

            Just Right

            This location has 2 RV lots. 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 and great for Solar regeneration. Both sites are very clean and well maintained. Just a short walk to the lake.

            Nice free spot

            We enjoyed this free trailhead parking. No bathroom, and the train only woke us up once in the night. Only one other van there with us, so very quiet and peaceful. Lovely walk on the Palmetto trail in the morning. There are also “walk-in” campsites right behind the trailhead signs in the trees.

            Super great spot!

            Very flat wide open lot within minutes to the Aiken horse park and downtown. My only recommendation is to have it better marked so guests know exactly where it is upon arrival. Maybe a tiny little sign?

            The owners and host are amazing at what they do! They’ve planned so much for this campground that our kids have had 5 days of things to do each day. We’ll definitely return and mark this as a favorite campground.

            Small and peaceful under the pines

            We stopped heading south and north along I-95 to and from Florida.  Very easy off and on I-95.  Plenty of available spaces in off-season.  The campground is small and quiet.  Camp Host was very helpful. Sites were spaced reasonably far apart but there is no privacy between.  Not all sites have a water view, but most appeared fairly level. Not all sites have sewer access.  Our only complaint was lots of smoke from campfires and grills. Would stay again.

            Peaceful, good trails

            We were at site 46, which is near the entrance and the camp host. Short walk to the bathhouse directly behind. Site has good trees for a hammock and near a path down to the lake for fishing/picnic/swimming. Beware there is a sharp drop off across from the site, so make sure whoever is backing in has a spotter out front.

            Amazing site, minus the train

            This site is awesome. The scenery is beautiful and it is super easy to access. You can hear coyotes howling at night.

            The only problem is the train. It woke us up at least 4 times last night. You can see the train from your campsite.

            Everything else was perfect for us though!

            Favorite State Park in SC

            While this is a smaller park, it has a ton to offer. Rv and primitive sites, bathrooms with hot showers, playground for the kiddos, a lake with rental kayaks and paddleboats, and the camp host was super friendly. Easily my favorite state park in SC so far.

            Nice quiet site close to town

            Site and hosts were nice. It was easily accessible(made it in a lowered mustang). The site was pretty clean and had firewood cut and ready to go for is.

            Not far from the roadway so not quiet and isolated if that’s what you were looking for. We weren’t and the quick in and out was perfect.

            Cute park convenient to Columbia

            We stayed in loop 2 at site 48 for 2 nights at the end of April. Chose this campground because we had an event in Columbia that we had to attend on our way back from a trip to Florida so we needed a place to stay for a few nights. The site was level with a gravel drive and parking area. Lots of pines all around but the site was clear enough for easy parking. No sewer hookups. There was water but we had some trouble getting the pressure just right. Really good tv signal since the campground is right outside of the city. Only a 20-30 minute drive down the highway. The part of town you go through to get there is a bit rundown (not bad by any means but you wouldn’t know there was a park nearby). The park itself it quite lovely. There’s a small lake that rents paddle boats and kayaks. A nice camp store. Cute park and splash pad. I actually wish we could have stayed longer. We have family nearby and will probably stay here next time we visit. I would recommend visiting if you want a quiet low key getaway.

          Guide to West Columbia

          Camping near West Columbia, South Carolina, offers a variety of beautiful spots for outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or a fun family adventure, there are plenty of campgrounds to explore.

          What to do:

          • Fishing and Boating: Lake Murray is a prime spot for fishing and boating. Many campers enjoy the serene waters and the chance to catch fish. One visitor at Dreher Island State Park Campground mentioned, "We spent 90% of our time on the lake swimming, paddle-boarding, kayaking, and enjoying one of the best lakes we’ve ever experienced."
          • Hiking: Explore the trails at Poinsett State Park Campground. A reviewer shared, "The park is better suited for small rigs, although we did see a couple large motor homes that struggled to navigate the narrow road, trees, and tight turns."
          • Wildlife Watching: Many campgrounds, like Longleaf Campground — Congaree National Park, offer opportunities to see local wildlife. One camper noted, "Beautiful quiet place to camp, hike, or canoe/kayak."

          What campers like:

          What you should know:

          • Limited Privacy: Some campgrounds have sites that are close together. A camper at Andrew Jackson State Park Campground noted, "Sites seem too closed to each other."

          • Weather Considerations: Be prepared for changing weather conditions. A reviewer at Dreher Island State Park Campground warned, "If you are camping here with a tent, you’ll want to stake your abode down with as many lines as you quite possibly can."

          Tips for camping with families:

          • Choose Family-Friendly Campgrounds: Look for campgrounds with amenities for kids. A parent at Lake Wateree State Park Campground said, "Great park with waterfront sites. Plenty of fishing areas."
