Places To Go Camping In South Carolina

South Carolina is a very scenic and quiet state. Finding a great campground is not very hard, because there are quite a few. However depending on what kind of things you like to do while camping like hiking, fishing, canoeing, sleeping in a tent, or just watching nature, you will want to try to find a campground that offers what you like. Here are the top 5 places to go camping in South Carolina:

Burrells Ford Campground (Walhalla, SC)

This campground is set on the Chattooga river, which has been declared as a wild and scenic river. This means that there is no auto access to the campground. I think this is great, because it makes the land more natural and less crowded. However you will not have very many amenities available, so if your idea of camping is staying in a hotel, you probably will not make it here.

Table Rock State Park (Pickens, SC)

This campground is full of wilderness someone would like to see while camping, but it also offers a few more amenities than some sites. All of the camp sites have water and electrical hookups, so this is a wonderful campground for RVs. More »

This campground is set in an amazing wooded area, with camp sites right down by the lake. If you like to be near the water while you are camping, then this is the campground for you. More »
