Lake Hartwell State Park Campground
Open — Open year-round for camping. Reservations available through South Carolina State Parks and require a minimum two-night stay.
Special Weather Statement issued March 23 at 2:44AM EDT by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC
Dry brush and leaf litter have become very dry in recent days due to breezy conditions and low relative humidity. These conditions are forecast again today. Relative humidity will fall below 30 percent for much of the afternoon and evening hours, and wind gusts may reach 25 to 30 mph at times. Given the dry vegetation, outdoor fires will be able to spread quickly once started, increasing the danger of wildfires. Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether you can burn today. If you do burn, use extreme caution since fires can quickly get out of hand under these conditions.
About
Lake Hartwell State Park Campground sits on the shores of the expansive 56,000-acre Lake Hartwell at the South Carolina-Georgia border near Fair Play. The campground is easily accessible from Interstate 85 and serves as a gateway to South Carolina's mountain country along the Cherokee Foothills National Scenic Highway. The camping area provides 109 paved sites with individual water and electrical hookups that accommodate RVs up to 40 feet in length, plus 13 walk-in tent sites featuring tent pads for a more secluded experience. For those seeking a hybrid camping experience, the park offers 8 unique single-room camper cabins. All camping areas provide convenient access to hot showers and flush restrooms. Lake Hartwell is renowned among anglers for its population of striped and hybrid bass, largemouth bass, crappie, bream, and catfish. The park features a 140-foot fishing pier, two boat ramps with a courtesy dock, and a three-quarter-mile nature trail along the lake. Additional amenities include a basketball court and a picnic shelter that accommodates groups up to 75 people. Reservations are made through the South Carolina State Parks system.
