Free and accessible via an easy gravel road, Woodall Shoals sits within Sumter National Forest near Long Creek, South Carolina. The site has no reservation system. A single porta-potty serves the parking area, and the Forest Service actively patrols the area, enforcing a no-camping buffer within roughly 10 feet of the Chattooga River. Campers should pack out all trash. The Chattooga draws paddlers, anglers, hikers, and swimmers, with numerous foot paths leading down to the water. Fishing and boating require permits under local regulations, so check those before arriving. Chattooga River Lodge and Campground is nearby for those who want hookups or additional facilities. Pets are welcome on site.
