There are sites for everyone. Some are private some are not. The ones closer the the beach/tent sites don’t have much shade or privacy. Most of the others have privacy. Some are level some are not. The bathhouse is clean and shower is nice. Staff is friendly. Check in was super easy. Loved the beach. Deer greeted us in the mornings. Raccoons visit throughout the day. My 1 and only complaint is that there are not trash cans throughout the campground. The only dumpster is located when you first come into the campground. BYW the lighthouse is closed for maintenance for about 6 mths . They do have wifi and the camp store does have a variety of supplies.
I love Wateree State Park. Clean and friendly staff.
Very nice little campground. We really enjoyed our stay here.
We live nearby and decided to go on a whim. Smaller sites but clean and friendly staff. The pond was fun to kayak.
We came here for summer vacation with the entire family. It was the best vacation ever. We were so close to the beach and the pool that everyone did their own thing. Sites are a little tight but thats to be expected. Plenty of things to do outside the campground. We didn’t leave often.
We have been camping at Happy Holiday for years. We really enjoy the views, music and tubing down the river/creek. The water stay very cool year round. Bathhouses are kept clean and maintained. Staff is very friendly. We love Cherokee and this is one of our favorite places to stay.
We live nearby so this is a nice little place to camp at. Nice sites, close to places to eat. Bathhouse was clean and well kept. We went around Halloween and they had trick-or-treating around the park as well as prizes for the best decorated.
This was a nice State Park. Very quiet and private. Our side has a walkway/steps to the lake. There was a sandy area to the lake. There is NOTHING near by so make sure you take your food for the stay.
We enjoyed our weekend at Chester state park. My dog enjoyed the pond for swimming. Sites were decent and we felt we had privacy. Driving into the park was beautiful. Big huge trees and winding roads. There are not many tree in the camping area. There are some just not like it was driving in. They do have a place to rent boats. It was a nice, peaceful weekend getaway.
We picked the wrong time to go to PF/Gatlinberg. It was way too touristy for us. Campsites were small/tight. Staff was extremely nice. Bathhouses were clean and felt safe. I do not think we would come beck here just because of how busy it was.
We stayed at Bear Den Halloween weekend 2021. It was COLD and RAINY! Campground was nice. We did get some decent pictures at the start of the weekend before the rain moved in. We didn’t get to enjoy the amenities due to the rain. It is located very close to the parkway and you can see magnificent views. We also enjoyed the apple orchard that is near by. The staff was nice. They do have golf cart rentals. I would go back.
