Devils Fork State Park Campground

I love the views and the lakefront everything about this place is worth going to

I love coming here to swim. Signal is very poor for Verizon. The sites are not super private but not too close to each other. The prices per night are ridiculous imo for a non full hookup campground but hey I still pay it just to swim in lake Joccassee.

Not too far from the water, which was great since we brought our own kayaks and kayaked to two water falls. Lots of trees to hang hammocks (we had 3) which is good because the only place to pitch a tent is on the pads which aren’t very large. They are basically concrete pads and we couldn’t steak the tent down well. Many dead limbs in the trees so be careful where you pitch your tent, or hang your hammock. Since the site is near the marina we could see/hear boats docking. Each site has a bear box which are roomy and were clean. The bathhouse was clean and well lit. The RV/camper sites are pretty close together with narrow roads. The park was beautiful and mostly clean. I found a tire in the water a few miles out on the way to the first waterfall and took it to a ranger the next day. He was happy to take it.

We had a very pleasant time at this campground. The water and bathrooms were close and clean which was great for the kids and our dogs to get water. The lake was a short walk and absolutely stunning! Crystal clear water allowed us to look at the schools of fish swimming with us. There are plenty of small mouth bass to be claimed as well! We will definitely be back!

Overall, we enjoyed our trip to Devils Fork. The lake was beautiful, staff was friendly, sites were nice and spacious, bathrooms were mostly clean, or at least cleaned often. Had flush toilets and hot showers. SC state parks don’t allow alcohol so it was pretty quiet and no loud, drunk people. If you don’t have a boat or want to rent one, there’s not much to do. We had to drive to the playground. There’s only one trail. It was nice, but a one and done for us. Not as busy as we expected, maybe because the weather was iffy. Our campsite was designed for pop ups which was nice. Steep to get up, but flat once you got up it. Had a shortcut through the woods to the bathrooms.

Our trip to Lake Jocassee at Devil's Fork was beyond anything we had imagined. The lake was beautiful! So many fun things to explore with it being so big and all by boat. Yes, if you don't have a boat, you have to rent one. But let me just say, it was not touristy at all!! We got to see and climb up the waterfalls, jump off cliffs and swing off rope swings with very few people to have to share it with. The bathrooms were very, very well maintained and they were super cute might I add. The one thing I would say is that the tent pads were a bit on the small side and not all of them are the 12x12 that I was told when chatting with the reservations lady, but we made due. The laundering facilities were very clean as well. Our was an amazing trip, we will definitely be back!

The campsites may be a bit close, but the beauty of Lake Jocasse always makes me forget all about that. Bathrooms had been updated since our last visit. Very nice!

There are lots of waterfalls, accessible only by boat. Unfortunately, we went in late summer, and some of the falls were only trickles compared to a previous spring visit.

It's sometimes difficult to reserve a site at this campground. Will definitely visit again.

This is one of my favorite parks in the state.  We have camped at the tent sites and the boat-in sites (but we haven't been to the boat-in sites since they redid/added).  The tent sits are right on the water.  They are secluded a little from the RV sites but still close enough to the bathhouse. 

There is a first row of tent sites on the water and then a second row that is closer to the water (and front row sites) than it appears on the website.  T6 and T8 are basically on the second row and still have a great view.

We have not been lucky enough to snag a spot at the end, but T14 and T15 have beautiful views.  

There are plenty of trees for shade, hammocks, dry lines, and lights.  The kids could climb down to a rocky beach from our sites.  They walked along the shoreline and went on a few adventures.  They were very excited about the bear cave.

Gorgeous views,friendly people!

I have been to Devils Fork state park many of times and it never disappoints. The park is not overly big and has lots to do and places to enjoy.

We loved our stay. We were in campsite 3, lake view, next to bathhouse, lake trail access right next to our site. We did the Oconee Bell Trail. Cute little hike. Was well maintained. Bathrooms clean. Definitely will visit again.

Stayed here during off season so was very quiet, but can only imagine how great it would be in the peak season. The lake is absolutely beautiful and they have some lovely tent sites right on the water. We went kayaking and would definitely have swam if it was warmer! so many nice hiking trails and close to the mountains. Bathrooms are clean and have hot water. No wifi at all but that didn’t bother us :)

I loved this campground. It was very remote and beautiful. I loved the views and was happy with the campsite!

Well maintained with space between campsites. Beautiful scenery with easy lake access

The hike in tent sites are excellent. The walk is well worth the work, ive heard the boat in sites are even better. We camped in January and it was cold enough to surprise us with snow a few nights but warm enough for t shirts in the afternoon. Bring extra gear. The fishing from shore is decent but to get the good trout and such you really need a boat. The camp store has pretty good provisions but not everything you may need. TIP: town is a ways away- stop at the Engels market on the way There is a bunch of wild life, put your food stuff in a tree. The views from a few sights are phenomenal for coffee drinking

Excellent tent camping for family. I came with my pregnant wife, my 10 month old baby, my brother and my sister in law. It was such a great experience, amazing place. Definitely worth the experience.

It sure is! A little piece of heaven.

This is a very popular destination. So, the campground was pretty loud and crowded at night until the lights out call. The lake views with the mountains in the background are perfect. Tad cool in the evenings, which would be perfect in the hot months. We learned that the other campground loop has a quick path down to the lake and playground. Will stay on that side next time. Park store was stocked well.

...each season offers a different experience. We take kayaks in Spring and Summer.

I title it Lake Jocassi because this is the main attraction here. One of the countries most beautiful lakes (personal opinion).
Plenty of room between your RV and the neighbors, clean and heated bathhouses.

Jocassee state park in Devils Fork is awesome for the family! Lots of water activities. The area is clean. We had an awesome stay!

We were able to reserve site 40 and it was the most beautiful site avaliable at the campground. There is a trail to the lake, where you can access water and it made us feel like we were in our private small beach. There were staff cleaning restrooms regularly, showers had great pressure! You can rent kayaks or paddle boards at the campground. We loved the experience and will definitely be back.

So much for family's to do here. We stopped by to check it out on our way to another site and wished they had a spot available. We will be booking this for another time. Water is so clear. Site is so clean.

It was out first time with an RV- this place is very crowded. Plenty of bathrooms and showers nearby campsite. Staff was super nice. You can rent canoes, boats, etc right there at the picnic area. It’s hard to get to all the waterfalls so be sure you have a map- navigating on a canoe is confusing! No sewer hookup which is a negative to this place. Pretty muddy all around- no gravel to help. Good location because it’s close to gorges state park

The park was an excellent diversion for the day. On Lake Jocassee, the water is clear and relatively cool, compared to nearby lake hart well. The swimming area is not very easily accessible, and the entry to the water is very rocky. It was nice to have a roped off area boats weren’t allowed in. There are canoe and kayak rentals, and even a pump for blowing up inflatables. The grassy areas are rife with goose poop, but that’s part of the charm, I suppose. We plan to explore more next time!

Beautifully located on Lake Jocassee! Camp sites paved, wooded and nicely spaced. Bathhouses are clean. The lake is gorgeous. Boat ramp and trailer parking. Kayak rentals available.
