| Nice and calm

By user-5816691... on 2018-06-27.

Used on easter weekend. Very nice and quiet. Of course to early in season for pool or putt-putt to be open. Arrived in pouring rain and the person in the space offered to help me set up.

| Avoid it

By user-5245485... on 2018-06-27.

Tried to stay for just one night. On the phone they said office was closed just pick a spot. When we pulled in it looked like the office was open so my husband pulled over while I checked. There was a woman standing there with a KOA shirt on so I asked her and she very meanly said I guess it is now. Then my husband who was trying to get our very large vehicle out of the way went about 2 feet over the stop here sign. She started screaming (and I do mean scraming) at my husband to stop and that he caused a traffic jam (he was 2 feet over the line and there was one truck who could have gotten around us, they were just being courteous). She was the rudest person I've ever seen at a campground and we travel full time. We didn't stay there but she turned us around thru the campground and the sites did not look very nice anyway, very cramped and dusty.

| Great Stay

We had another great stay. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We had trailer brake trouble and Jay (one of the staff) was every helpful. He even let us hook up to his trailer to see if the problem was with our truck. We will be back in June and look forward to returning.

| Non stop barking dog and exceedingly rude staff member

By user-5475135... on 2018-06-27.

Cannot recommend anyone staying here. Dog yapping three sites down has been yapping loudly for 4 hours now. Was told by extremely rude office person( whom I suspect may be the franchise owner), there is no barking dog and even if there were a barking dog nothing would be done until "quiet time". So pan ahead to 9 PM and there you have everyone in their campers watching TV or with lights out probably trying to sleep... there you those campers with their dog still barking non-stop, and guess what? Nothing done. Incidentally I checked out KOA headquarters pet policy and they say nothing about noise or non-stop barking dogs being totally cool and OK until "quiet time". In fact they say, from the KOA website: "Remember manners. Constant barking bothers other campers. If your pet is too vocal, you'll need to find other accommodations.". I was complete offended by the rude staff woman and I don't get offended by much. I can here the RV next to me blaring their TV. Not great but some people are hard of hearing, so I can handle the volume. The road nearby is surprisingly loud, again I can tolerate that too. But non-stop yapping dogs and rude/nasty RV personnel....not so much.

| Very nice but ....

Please watch out for tons of poison ivy! Nice place and very friendly staff. Very woodsy, neat, clean. Lots of ants and very close to major highway which was noisy outside. Very dog friendly with a fenced in small play and poop area.

| Pleasant First Stay

By user-6191912... on 2018-07-06. Stayed 2018-06-15 to 2018-06-17

This was our first stay at this campground. We arrived after hours and, as expected, our site reservation info was taped to the office door. The campground was almost full and stayed for the weekend. Relatively large spots with enough space between them for at least a picnic table, firepit, and camp chairs. This is a parking lot style campground, so sites are in even rows. Lots of shade trees. There is a pet walk and a small dog park/run. Pet poo pails and pick-up bags were provided at several locations around the park. Water access requires exiting the park - the nearest marina and Lake Hartwell are a short drive away. It seemed like most people were there for the water, so the park was pretty quiet during the day. We didn't test the water, but the on-site pool seemed pretty popular. It is small, but had a good number of chairs. This was a last-minute booking for us, so we willingly paid the premium; however, similar campgrounds usually go for much less. Staff was efficient and helpful with anything we needed.

About

Located amoung tall southern loblolly pines in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, our campground is a gateway to a host of nearby treats. Your family might enjoy Stumphouse Tunnel and nearby Issaqueena Falls or whitewater rafting on the river made famous in the movie Deliverance. Take a picnic lunch and go lake swimming at a recreation area or rent a pontoon boat on nearby Hartwell Lake. Explore the Jockey Lot, known as the South's largest flea market, or visit the town of Pendleton - the entire town is on the National Register of Historic Places. Take a scenic drive on a highway that follows old Cherokee footpaths, visit beautiful Clemson University just 15 miles away, and stop in to see the South Carolina Botanical Garden. Try your best at one of several challenging golf courses or go for a hole-in-one at the KOA's mini golf course. Maybe you'll find long-lost relatives through your genealogy searches in nearby libraries or history museums.
