Came here after escaping Van Hook Glade in Highlands. Most of the sites are occupied by permanent seasonal residents. They are all very nice people. We had a mishap arriving which caused damage to our trailer. 3 people including the owner rushed to help us. Quiet. Riverside spots. Would not have thought to stay here but were so glad we did.
We stayed in White Oak site 83 near creek. It was lovely. We truly enjoyed our stay, though I know the other campground is very crowded. The hiking at table rock is amazing. Long and strenuous with huge views for a reward.
We really have enjoyed SC state parks but will never come back to this one. We had to move spaces because it was so ridiculously unlevel (other campers shared same experience). The only one we could get literally faced the street and had zero privacy. There is a full hook up area (rare in a state park), but literally you are on top of your neighbor. Some people do love this as we met lots of repeat visitors. This park was NOT for us as we prefer something more open, spacious and level. The hiking trails were not super well marked which was also annoying.
Natural Tunnel is awesome. Not a lot of sites which is great. I’d recommend Lovers Leap as the sites are super spacious and far apart from each other. Some have more shade than others. The bathrooms are super clean and there is even laundry. The ranger programs are fantastic. We recommend the Stockton Creek hike (though it is through water and a bit challenging balance wise). The cable cars are so fun. Ranger Bill was a great storyteller and very informative. Hiking was moderate. Nothing too crazy. It was was a very nice stay.
