Parsons Mountain Lake Campground

One thing that really stood out was the bugs or I should say the lack their of! That was definitely the nicest part about it second to it’s beauty.

This is a really great campsite with restrooms and fire rings. There are restrooms and a playground for kids. If you really want to challenge your self, there is a trail that climbs to parson mountain and is recommended to only people who is fit enough because it is strenuous

Parsons Mountain Recreation Area sits beside a small lake called Parsons Mountain Lake. It is a great fishing spot and it has a roped off swimming area that has no life guard but is six foot deep at the most at the back of it. The brim in the lake will nibble at the hairs on your legs if you have any. The camp sites have gravel and a fire pit for most of them. Nearby to the camp sites there are restrooms and showers though expect spider webs on either as they are used infrequently except at the height of Summer. But the whole area is surrounded by pine trees and most sites are shaded by all of the trees. You will need a South Carolina Fishing licenses to fish. Camp sites are very reasonable. See this site for current fees. http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/scnfs/recarea/?recid=47187

Overall a very nice camp ground. Quiet except for the owls and crickets at night.
