Sedalia Campground

4 ReviewsAdd Review

Hikers tackling the Palmetto Trail will find Sedalia Campground positioned directly along this long-distance route, making it a natural overnight stop for thru-hikers and section hikers alike. This US Forest Service campground sits within forested terrain in Sumter National Forest, offering both individual sites and a separate group camping area with a communal fire pit.

The campground provides running water and vault toilets, with reviewers consistently noting the cleanliness of facilities. Sites are spread between forested and open areas, with campsite 5 being the most popular due to its distance from the nearby forest road. A spacious grassy area occupies the center of the campground for activities and relaxation.

Road cyclists appreciate the network of forest roads radiating from the campground, while trail users can access routes leading down to area lakes. The forest road location keeps vehicle traffic light, though hunters frequent the area during deer and turkey seasons, which can increase occupancy. Susan B. notes it "has fire pit and access to running water." The campground lacks picnic tables at individual sites.

This spot works well for tent campers and small RVs seeking a Forest Service camping experience with basic amenities and trail access in the South Carolina uplands.

Many mentioned the quiet atmosphere and clean facilities, particularly the pit toilets. Guests commonly noted the absence of picnic tables, though most found it suitable for primitive camping.

Running water/pit toilet/NO picnic tables

We like it. It's been quiet the times that we've been there. If you're a road cyclist this is heaven, and some decent trail riding down to the lakes. Just be aware that there are no picnic tables. Still it's cheap and close to where we live in Spartanburg.

Primitive Camping Close to Hunting

If you want to get away from civilization, this might be the place to camp. However, it is beside a road, but the road is not used very much since it is a national forest road. 

I was glad to see that it had running water and one of the cleanest pit toilets I think I have ever seen. The Palmetto Trail runs through it, so if you are thru-hiking, this would be a good place to camp for the night. I was at campsite 5, which was the one farthest from the road, and I could tell it was the most popular. I picked up a small bag of trash left by previous campers before setting up. There are trash receptacles nearby, but alas, some people leave their trash at the campsite anyway. 

There is a spacious grassy area in the middle of the campsites for whatever activities you want to engage in. There is also a large, separate grassy area for group camping. It includes a communal fire pit. 

Overall, it is a great area for primitive camping and for dry camping if you are in a small RV.
