Prices Bridge Inn & Campgrounds

5 sites · Lodging, Tents12 acres · Leesville, SC

We have an absolutely gorgeous 12 acres of mostly wooded and/or lakefront land on the West end of Lake Murray (Saluda River). As of 2023, we have 3 campsites and three cabins for visitors. We (me, my wife, and three kids) run this as our primary business and LOVE nature lovers and those seeking respite from their busy lives... It's NOT a place for loud parties--we are on Lake Murray behind the only super LOW bridge, which means there's virtually no boat traffic or noise back here. If you want to refresh, recharge or spend quality time with family or friends, we'd love to host you. *the low bridge also means if you bring a large boat you may need to use the marina or any of the free boat launches within a mile of our site... kayaks, canoes, john boats all fit under. :-)

Camping near Augusta guide

Overview

A smaller city on the border between Georgia and South Carolina, August is filled with lakes, rivers, and recreational parks that make the town a great place to go camping. Whether you decide to go bass fishing or canal kayaking, August is especially great if you have a family and you’re looking for a quieter, fun-filled getaway that everyone can enjoy.

Where to go

Mistletoe State Park

This recreation area, which is home to Clarks Hill Lake, is known for its bass fishing. But that’s not all this park entails. In fact, Mistletoe State Park, about 45 minutes from downtown Augusta, offers sandy beaches, shady walking paths, and cool creeks. There are also a number of cabins, cottages, and RV sites for campers, as well as backcountry and group campsites. You can also take out boats or canoes (available to rent for overnight guests) on one of the region’s largest lakes.

Diamond Lakes Regional Park

Diamond Lakes is situated in Georgia’s Sand Hills region—a rolling, green landscape with forests and water features that are ripe for exploring. This park is a great jumping point to explore the region, with its tennis and basketball courts, fishing ponds, sand volleyball pit, picnic areas, community center, public library, and campsites. With no shortage of options for activity, Diamond Lakes is great for both day use and overnight camping.

Lake Olmstead

This lake is right in Augusta and offers both motorized and non-motorized boating. The lakefront is great for picnicking and enjoying the day, while a gazebo and walking track offer additional activity options. Another way to enjoy this lake is to kayak the Augusta canal, a trip with the Savannah River Rapids Park that takes you on a journey through the local areas and ends at Lake Olmstead.

When to go

Like other places in the southern United States, the best time to visit Georgia is in the spring and fall. During these times, the weather is cooler but still warm, so you can camp and enjoy water activities without the freezing temperatures of winter nights, nor the scorching hot days of summer.

Know before you go

Check the prices for parking and day use at the parks you plan to visit.
For kayaking, consider making a reservation with Savannah River Rapids in advance.
