- Joan and I are fond of state and federal parks. Sometimes we’re looking for a quiet place to escape where others are located in areas that feed our tour desires. Lake Hartwell State Park gave us one of those great places to escape. A beautiful campground found in South Carolina just minutes from the Georgia State line.
Lake Hartwell State Park is located on the edge of a massive 56,000 acre lake spanning across two states. The Park provides two types of camping styles from the hideaway in the woods to lake side lots. A wide range of activities are supported for boating, fishing, hiking or just casual relaxation.

What a great video! We are renovating a 20-foot, vintage 1976 camper that my husband's grandmother owned, and we can't wait to begin visiting some state parks. So glad I found your review of Lake Hartwell with all the info you provided. I'll definitely be checking out your other reviews! Thank you so much!!!
Thanks a bunch. Enjoy that soon to be new camper.
THANK YOU FOR THE HANDICAP INFO..that is very important to some of us..possibly a deal breaker

Jezzzz. Again another wonderful park🎉👍🎉 I love it when you walk the park. What wonderful views. Marked that down as a must visit place. 👍👍👍👍
Thanks much
Great review! We can’t wait to go there once we finally get our trailer.
Thanks so much. Fun campground. Get that trailer soon. You’ll have so much fun!
Just waiting on Jayco at this point. We are into week 5 of the 8-12 weeks the dealer said it should take. Best part is we are less than 3 hours from the park and our son lives in Clemson.
Looks great! Your videos sure have sold us on the Georgia and neighbour states on campgrounds. Love the wooded areas, space and quiet sites are our style campsites. Thanks so much for sharing. :) :)
Thanks so much. So glad.we could share. Hope you can visit soon.
Ty!!

Fabulous job showcasing this campground!
Thanks so much.
Really appreciate all the videos, used this video for research, just booked the same site for this state park.
Thanks Terry. Have fun.
That’s nice that they take care when you have a problem. Nice video
Thanks a bunch Tim.
I realize this is over a year old but I still like to welcome you and Joan to South Carolina and to our State Parks. I live within 45 minute drive to this park. I have an uncle who lives within 2 miles of this park. I took my grandchildren here while they were growing up. I stayed at site 62 just so that they could walk to the water to bank fish. 2 granddaughters and a grandson always loved coming here with me. Im a Air Force retiree, and as a aircrew member I was gone from a lot . I missed a lit of my 2 children's growing up and my wife passed away and took a lot of those memories with her. But now I have the chance of a life time to watch and grow with my grandchildren . And what better way at the lake camping.
I was a lot of your videos , ive had health issues and now trying to catch up on my subscriptions. And what a pleasant surprise to see you there(here). Im so glad you enjoyed your stay. Until next time, stay safe and hopefully uf I know youre there and you don't mind I'd love to come say hello the next time you're here.
Thanks a so much Dr. Don. We've had great stays in SC with Lake Hartwell and returned this year to Tugaloo just across the state line. Also had great stays at Huntington Beach (now one of our top beach stops) and the municipal park at James Island. Love on those grandkids a bunch! Jerry...
We are in the process of selling our house to live full-time in an RV we recently found your channel and we appreciate it so much. Thank you so much for showing the local camping sites we live right now in south western North Carolina have a wonderful time traveling maybe will see you on the road 😊🌻😊
Thanks so much for the kind comment. We’re so glad you’re enjoying our RV tips and travels. There are so many nice campgrounds around this area, you’ll have a great time. Hope our paths cross in the future. Jerry...
Another excellent review! We've stayed at Lake Hartwell SP several times, as we live just up the road in Walhalla, SC which is about 20 miles. It appears they have repaved/repaired some of the roads and perhaps trimmed a few trees. Glad to see that, we'll have to drive down and check it out soon. We are camping next weekend at Springfield COE which is also not far off I-85 in SC.
Thanks Windell. They’ve done a great job with the campground. We huge fans of COEs. Have fun.
Great information and as always thank you for sharing - hey to Joan
You bet. Joan gave a big wave back.
You got to try Oconee Point in Seneca SC. Its on Lake Hartwell also. Happy camping
Thanks for the tip!
Welcome back to SC Jerry. I live less that 20 miles from LHSP, but we've yet to stay there. There are so many campgrounds on Hartwell it will take us a while to stay at all of them. Our favorite on Hartwell is Twin Lakes in Pendleton.
Thanks Bruce. No kidding. The lake is massive. We need a few days off the road as we headed north up I-85. Perfect stop and such a nice campground.
You do a lovely job with these reviews Jerry!
Thanks so much Christine.
Another great spot! Thanks :)
Glad to share.
Love your videos
Thanks so much Lauren
Just booked #57 for next year...thanks for the tour!!
Oh you beat me to it John! Kidding. Not sure when we’ll head back, but that will be the spot!
Nice campground, great review.
Have a Jesus filled day
Greg in Michigan
Thanks so much Greg.
We were just there in April! Site 3 gorgeous and peaceful.
Yes it is!
I live in Fair Play! Glad you enjoyed your visit 😁
We bought groceries in Fair Play and has dinner in your pretty downtown area at a family owned Italian restaurant. Everyone was so friendly.
Beautiful place Jerry!
Thanks Rick.
Love it!!! Maybe someday we can go and see it in person. Thanks for the information.
Glad we could share Megan.
We have been to LHSP a couple times. We had GREAT interaction with the rangers in May when we were there. The sites in the water in the 40's are close, but the water access may be worth it if you have littles or spend lots of time in the water.
Agree. Everyone was super nice. The water lots were nice. Bit noisy with the 4th weekend approaching. That’s what I liked about the campground. You could be in the thick of things or hide out. Really pretty place.
Very nice Jerry you all need to come out to Oregon and take in some of our state parks especially the ones on the coast.
Definitely on the wish list!
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure.
We also like Calhoun Falls St. Park just south of Lake hartwell St. Park. Stayed at both several times over the years.
Thanks Jim. We’ll check it out.
We're on 4 right now but six is very nice. Tugaloo state right across lake really really nice
Hi Sharon. Those are pretty spots. Walked by them a few days ago. Have a great time at the lake.
I think you would like Twin Knobs campground at Cave Run Lake, KY if you ever get up that way.
Thanks so much. We’ll check it out. We were in KY last year. Stayed at Cave Country and did the caves. Awesome experience.
You should come to Oconee Point which is just a few minutes down the road from this one, I live in the area and it is probably the nicest one in the upstate. Its about 2 miles from my home we use it all the time.
Thanks Daniel. We’ll add to our list.
Just wanted to share another campground or two with you if you travel up to North Carolina way. A place called Hollypoint campground on Falls lake. It’s about like Heartwell. Roomy, quiet nestled in the woods. Very nice and relaxing place to go. It’s actually about 8 miles from my house. I go there for quick getaways and stay for a week or two at a time. Then a little more North is JC Cooper campground on Kerr lake around the NC and Virginia line. It’s about an hourish north of me off of 85. It’s kinda roomy also and secluded. Nice threw the week pretty happening on the weekends but an overall good little getaway place. Thanks fore sharing your travels. Peace ✌️.
Thanks so much John. We'll add these to the list.
Hello from Florence Alabama
What’s up!
Wish I known you were there Jerry, I could have come by to have met you. I live about 45 minutes from there in the Upstate.
Me too. Next trip!
Jerry, it would be a nice addition to your videos to show the location on a map. Up here in Indiana, the land of corn and soybeans, we are always looking for places to escape.
Thanks for the tip. Will do so in the future.
Love your videos!
Thanks a bunch.
You got our site! We stayed on that site in October 2018. The site next door was supposed to be for the camp ground host. Is it still?
I think that may have been a host next door. Looked like they had been there for a number of weeks. Hope you all enjoyed the campground as much as we did.
Hi! Just subscribed to your channel and love your videos. Hubs and I are contemplating a 5th Wheel; going shopping this weekend. My question is sort of a strange one: we are from the northeast and I was wondering if there are any gators in that lake? I know SC has gators but not sure if there are closer to the coast or in all the lakes? I love to swim but I'm deathly afraid of gators and would not want my grandbabies in that water if there was any chance of gators. Like I said, kind of a strange question, I know. Thank you.
Hi Annette. Can’t say, but saw many skiing, floating in tubes, plus near then end of the video, there were dozens of little ones and mommas swimming in the lake. Maybe a call to the main office to be sure. Thanks for the sub and great to hear you’re enjoying the channel.
I’ve been here before
Great spot
Jerry, are you and Joan still at Lake Hartwell State Park? I am literally 4 miles up Hwy 11 at Forest Spring Family Campground. I would never like to cut into your time and enjoyment of upstate South Carolina, but I would really love to meet you. If you're Ok with me and my puppy Zoey stopping by, I would be honored. It would be tomorrow, as we're leaving the area to go to my Brothers on Tuesday for our annual 4TH of July family blowout party. Just let me know if we can stop by.
Hi Tony. So sorry. Would be great to meet, but we left a few days ago. We’ll give a yell next tine we’re in the area.
If the limbs were gonna rub your rig would they frown apon trimming so they don’t scratch as wind blows
I guess this is one of those don't ask don't tell things
Enjoyed the video. Are y’all generally headed North East?
We are! Couple of weeks. Up for some Cleveland BBQ?
Ohio?
GA.
Full hookups! Sewer?
Hi Brandon. Afraid not. There’s dump station at the entrance. If we’re staying over a week. We carry a blue boy.
Would this be your favorite rv park at lake hartwell?? What about coe's?
Larry, 57 is a favorite. A pull through with a view of the lake. We're big fans of COE campgrounds.
@@iLoveRVlife any opinion on which coe is the best??
We have a few favorites. Eastbank CEO in Bainbridge, Maumelle COE in Little Rock, Seven Points COE in Nashville.
Are there gators or water moccasins?
We didn’t see any.
Jerry are there gators in that lake?
Didn’t see any. Boats and kids everywhere. No worried faces on the MaMa’s.

Didn't you have a class A?
Hi Brad. No, it’s always been a 5th wheel.
