About

Poulous Loop Group Campground offers a primitive group camping experience in the piedmont region of South Carolina within the Enoree Ranger District of Sumter National Forest. The site features a large grassy clearing surrounded by mature pine-hardwood forest at approximately 400-500 feet elevation, providing natural shade and space for field games like volleyball and horseshoes. This reservation-only group campground accommodates 1-100 people with up to 15 vehicles and 50 horses. Amenities are intentionally rustic: a vault toilet and fire pit are provided, but there is no potable water, electricity, WiFi, or reliable cell coverage. Campers must be fully self-sufficient. The campground is particularly popular with hunting groups during South Carolina's big-game deer and turkey seasons, as the surrounding forest sustains abundant wildlife. The 26-mile Woods Ferry Horse Trail is easily accessible via Forest Service Road 301F, making this an excellent base for equestrians, hikers, and mountain bikers exploring the Broad River corridor.

Directions

From Lockhart, SC on SC-49 and the Broad River, follow SC-49 N. Where SC-49 forks north, continue straight on SC-9 for 4.3 miles. Turn right onto Woods Ferry Road for 0.4 miles, turn right onto Roy Wade Road for 0.1 miles, then make a slight right onto 535 (Worthy's Ferry Road) for 3.3 miles. The road is asphalt for the first half, then becomes gravel. Turn right onto Feltman Road and drive 1.3 miles. Poulous Loop Group Campground is on the right.
