Primitive, remote, campsites with easy lake access
Pine Point Primitive Campground is found in SC and considered part of Table Rock State Park. A handful of sites are offered, each with a tent-pad, picnic table and firepit. Best of all the remote sites had FLAT tent pads, which always make for a better night sleep!
Pine Point Primitive Campground is found just past the visitor center. If you pull past the visitor center and the beginning of the lake, you should park towards the far end of the lot. You'll see the sign (shown below) and the trail immediately to the right.
We trekked down to check out available sites before selecting ours. The hike is an easy half mile, on a trail, with slight ups and downs. I don't recommend rolling anything down the trail (no stroller, wagon, etc.) but instead, be ready for a short walk. It is a reasonable distance, even without backpacking equipment and each site is well suited for primitive camping!
There are many trails around this area - both on this side of the road and the other side. Most popular hikes are to the summit of Table Rock but easier hikes can be found on this side of the highway also - and around the lake! This is a quieter option for basecamp while exploring this park!
