Parksville Recreation Area is a wooded day-use facility managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the shores of J. Strom Thurmond Lake in McCormick County, South Carolina. The 70,000-acre lake offers boating, water skiing, swimming, and fishing for largemouth bass, bream, crappie, catfish, and striped bass. The area features two reservable group picnic shelters: Beach Shelter accommodates up to 90 people and includes electrical hookups, while Hillside Shelter holds up to 36 people without electricity. Additional amenities include flush toilets, drinking water, a boat ramp, dock, playground, swimming beach, and grassy field. This is strictly a day-use facility with no overnight camping. Park hours are 8 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. A $7 per vehicle entry fee applies, payable by credit card at the gatehouse. USACE Annual Pass and America the Beautiful passes are accepted.
