south carolina state parks

This place was an unexpected delight. It is not in a part of South Carolina that many go to so it is probably mostly used by locals and is one of the orginal CCC built parks from the '30s. You are near a large national forest so the population nearby is pretty small. We didn't know what to...

During a day trip we were on, we checked out the campground at Andrew Jackson. It is small with 25 sites but it is a really nice campground. A few of the sites are on the small lake in the park. Stay on the outside of the loop if you can, the inside ones are pretty close together with little...

Checked at the campground at Kings Mountain while we just visiting it for the day. Nice park, not too far off I-85 and right at the NC border. There is a trail that connects to Crowder Mountain State Park in NC and it is also located next to the Kings Mountain National Battlefield. The battle...

Checked out the campground when we stopped here to walk the dogs as we drove to the beach last week. Barnwell State Park was one of the CCC built parks from the 1930s. The park itself is small with a small lake that had a picnic ground located on it. The park rents small row boats, kayaks, and...

We didn't camp here but we are in the process of trying to hit all 47 state park sites in South Carolina, so while we were at Colleton State Park we checked out the campground. This is a small state park and would be a good option for someone traveling up or down I-95 because it is pretty close...

We booked several camping trips today for 2019 with the 50% off Black Friday deal offered by the SC State Parks. It is extended through Monday due to a glitch the park system had with their reservation system if anyone is interested in camping in SC. We will be at Oconee State Park in April and...

Make your Reservations in the included State Parks of South Carolina on Black Friday and get your campsites for 50% of the normal price. We did this last year and saved nearly $300 in campsite fees. You can make them for up to 13 months in advance. So sometime on Black Friday, I will be on...

Heading out in a little while for a long weekend of camping in at Oconee State Park in the mountains of South Carolina. We camp here several times a year since it is not too far from the house. Schools in South Carolina are closed on Election Day and we've got Monday off as well. Our daughter...

Relaxing weekend at Keowee-Toxaway State Park except for nearly stepping on a Copperhead Snake while hiking with dogs. This was our second time at this park and it is one of our favorites. Quiet and beautiful with only about 12 or so sites plus another loop that is tents only. Beautiful...

We got in a couple of nights at Oconee State Park here in South Carolina. Perfect weather for camping too. I work a cycling charity ride, Issaqueena's Last Ride, that is in that county and I am part of the organizing committee. I manage the ride's Facebook page so today after getting home, I...

First time we camped here although we have visited Sadlers Creek State Park a lot of the years since it is in the county we live in, Anderson County in South Carolina. Even though we had been in the park, we weren't sure what to expect, meaning we didn't which brand of SC redneck would be...

Heading out to Sadler's Creek State Park once we get done with one more day of school. Not a long trip as we don't even leave the county. Never camped here but been there many times to hike. We will be on the shores of Lake Hartwell, site of the Bassmaster's Classic a few weeks ago. My...

Great Campground! 12 sites for campers. Electrical and water at sites. Bathroom with 2 showers. There is a tent only loop nearby. Only 2 are pull through sites but all are spacious and have fire ring and picnic table. Gravel sites. You do have to pack your trash out but they do have recycling...

We’re set up for the weekend. Should be good weather and this 12 Site Campground at Keowee-Toxaway State Park is really quiet and we have a great view of the mountains from site#4.

We get back to camping this weekend. Going about an hour away from the house to Keowee-Toxaway State Park here in SC. This park is at the base of the SC Blue Ridge Mountains and is located on Lake Keowee. SC Hwy 11 is a scenic that skirts the edge of the mountains and there are several other...
