The facility features six comfort stations including four with hot showers, a dump station for RVs, a boat ramp with courtesy dock, three playgrounds, and a designated swim beach. Fishing is excellent with largemouth bass, bream, crappie, catfish, striped bass and hybrid bass available. The lake is popular for boating, water skiing, and swimming. The campground enforces a gate system that opens at 7 a.m. and locks at 10 p.m. daily. Located near Anderson and a short drive from Clemson University, campers have convenient access to restaurants, grocery stores, and gas stations.
