Stories from the community

4 nights at Eagles Landing

We booked this site as a last minute Spring break get away and so glad we found this gem! Kevin was so nice and accommodating and the weather completely showed out in the best way. We were able to enjoy the water all five days we stayed 🫶🏻 Will definitely be coming back in the near future.

4 nights at Eagles Landing

Beautiful view and private site. The pups had plenty of room to run and play ball. Kevin was a gracious host and very communicative. The sweet gift bag was a bonus and treats for the pups.

Weekend Trip to Dennis & Melissa's Hidden Creek

Melissa’s land was so fun to explore for a long weekend! We had so much fun fishing in their pond and hanging out by the campfire. Our dog fell in the love with the cows. We can’t wait to stay again!

Weekend Trip to Fishing in the Dark

It was beautiful! We caught huge fish! We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Lakeshore Family Campground

Very well kept campground, peaceful part of the lake. Neighbors behind us were loud until 11:40 pm, right outside our bedroom window, but that wasn’t the host’s fault at all. Besides that, it was amazing! I’d definitely come back.

3 nights at Oolenoy Valley

Quiet and peaceful property. Plenty of space to walk and play with the dog. The site is clean and level. Full hookup was a treat. Owner is very nice

4 nights at Big Creek RV Park of Saluda SC

We absolutely loved our stay. The park is in immaculate shape. As tent campers, It was wonderful having access to the shower house and bathroom. We would definitely stay here again if we’re in the area.

1 night at Private Oasis In The Forest

We loved it! Amazing spot for our dog to roam, lovely but short trail around the lake, a little row boat we didn't use but would have been a fun little adventure - we set our tent up inside because the windows are wide open so just to keep bugs off us though we didn't notice many the night we were there - great experience especially for the price! We were tenting and it was calling for a thunderstorm and we couldn't have asked for a better spot to watch watch the rain come down and listen to it on the tin roof!

Weekend Trip to Eagles Landing

Kevin was a great host at Eagles Landing. He graciously accepted a last minute booking. Allowed us to check in early and stay past check out if we wanted. This was our second time visiting this site. It’s peaceful, and private. Next time we come, we plan on having a friend come and hopefully we can book both sites. They have kayaks, vest, fishing poles, etc. Great all around place. He even brought us a gift bag, it even included treats for the dogs. 5 Stars!!!!!!

3 nights at Beautiful Lake Camping

We had a great little getaway with a beautiful view. Great hosts! They gifted us with a carton of fresh eggs from their chickens. We will visit again!

Weekend Trip to Dennis & Melissa's Hidden Creek

Perfect secluded place to unwind and relax. Dennis and Melissa never disappoint with their upgrades to the sites. Every time I go it just gets better and better. Look no further than here for rest and relaxation.

4 nights at Prices Bridge Inn & Campgrounds

The A-frame was perfect! Enough space to be able to relax in. Every morning, afternoon and evening, my dog and I would sit on the dock gazing out at the lake with Herons, Osprey, Geese, Ducks and Cormorants all flying past. With the boat ramp right there, we would easily cast off on our SUP for the lake. Jesse, his wife and kids were wonderful and so nice. Their place and land offered so much to do. My dog got to feel like a country dog, interacting with the chickens, running through the woods and snoozing by the fire pit. This trip was exactly what I needed and desired. I loved every minute at Jesse's place.

Weekend Trip to Camp@Castaway/Lake Hartwell 410&412

Great Location and close to highway. Easy set-up with electric. Pretty view of woods. Some nearby neighbors are visable but not an issue. We would book again.

Weekend Trip to Eagles Landing

Had a great time at Kevin's lakefront Hipcamp. We will definitely reserve again in the future. Met us with a welcome gift and provided Kayaks and life jackets to use. Enjoyed exploring the lake. Spent a lot of time on the dock enjoying the views and nature.

Weekend Trip to Prices Bridge Inn & Campgrounds

Great site, short walk to the lake edge where we put in our kayaks. Wood pallet was generous and set up was nice. We saw a bald eagle minutes after making a toast to those fighting overseas (can’t make this stuff up)! Found a 1965 nickel on the ground, wonder what other hidden historic secrets are in this area. Awesome campsite!

2 nights at Chattooga Belle Farm Lakeside

This is one of my favorite spots to camp. The farm and Orchards are beautiful, the distillery is fascinating and friendly, and it is an amazing base camp for multiple waterfall hikes in the area.

5 nights at Big Creek RV Park of Saluda SC

Superbe site bien entretenu Le host a plein de belle « histoires » sur la région 😉 Je recommande pour la grosse paix

4 nights at Oolenoy Valley

Beautiful spot! We have three young children and two dogs and this spot was perfect! Hosts were very accommodating.

4 nights at Big Creek RV Park of Saluda SC

James was very accommodating around my plans to arrive changing multiple times due to distance, crazy weather and other delays. The camp sites are very well kept up, very tidy. James delivered hardwood to my site while I was away and included some pine for starting the fire. I look forward to checking out Big Creek RV Park when I’m in the Greenville SC area again. 5 stars!

Weekend Trip to Eagles Landing

Nice private area for us to relax while traveling. Our dog enjoyed the water so much and we helped ourselves to use the of a kayak. Our hosts were kind enough to greet us with a gift, show us around and make sure we had everything we needed. It is sloped getting in and out so we needed the 4-wheel drive to guide our 35’ 5th wheel and you may get a visit from the local dogs that tour the area periodically but they scare off easily. Very peaceful and the neighboring fisherman were very friendly.

Chattooga Belle Farm Lakeside

18 sites · RVs, Tents198 acres · Long Creek, SC

Chattooga Belle Farm – They Built It! By Tracy McCoy I wonder if when standing on the sprawling in upstate South Carolina, just a short hour trip from Greenville, Ed and Kitty Land heard a small still voice say, “if you build it, they will come.” While there isn't a baseball field on the property, that's about all that is lacking. Chattooga Belle Farm began as an event building set on 138 acres with a small seasonal retail store. Soon people found their way to the soon-to-be full-fledged farm and they felt it; that feeling that you've found a very special place. Peaceful, majestic and unlike any other, Chattooga Belle Farm is quite possibly the perfect place for any event and most certainly an ideal place to pledge your heart and life to another. Since the Lands opened their doors in 2010 they have come. There have been families, couples, groups, the media and fruit pickers who have all visited the farm; and they return year after year. Having been written up countless times across the southeast, US and more recently featured on The Today Show, the farm just keeps growing and getting better. With a history of growing sweet juicy apples, the soil in this part of the world has proven to be excellent for peaches, muscadines, scuppernongs, and blueberries. The farm also grows exotic fruits like persimmons, paw paws, Asian pears, figs, and more! The landscape is picturesque and the mountain views are truly breathtaking in every direction. The farm hosts farm to table dinners that sell out year after year. Their U-Pick fruit opportunities evolve throughout the season with something always coming in from early summer through fall. A list of available fruit is updated often on their website, upcoming events and information about cabin rentals on Horseshoe Lake. The recent addition of a distillery on the farm means the fruit is grown, fermented, distilled and bottled on the farm. The distillery is open year round Monday – Saturday. ged in oak barrels and aged to produce some of the finest liquors made in these mountains. The farm store is complete with fresh produce (in season), canned jams, jellies and bottled ciders. Grass-fed, natural, antibiotic-free Black Angus beef is sold in the store. The cattle are raised on pasture which produces some of the healthiest beef you can buy. Using only natural, humane and environmentally sustainable practices, the Lands and their staff raise beef as nature intended. Bringing the best to your family has never been easier. Belle's Bistro at Chattooga Belle Farm serves salads, sandwiches, burgers and soups made with the freshest ingredients possible. The bistro is open for lunch Tuesday – Sunday from April – October. Their menu includes Certified South Carolina Grown food which makes for an outstanding menu, also which can be viewed on chattoogabellefarm.com. When it comes to weddings, Chattooga Belle Farm has it all! With all-inclusive packages that offer rental items, catering, a wedding coordinator, photographer, flowers, music, bar service and even the wedding cake. The couple can customize a package or choose from their Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum packages. Getting married has never been this easy, you bring the dress and your partner and you enjoy the day! Some of the area's loveliest weddings have happened in this remarkable place! Ed and Kitty and the outstanding farm team welcome you and we guarantee that if you come, you'll find that you want to stay forever! Plan your visit: Chattooga Belle Farm is located at 454 Damascus Church Road, Long Creek, South Carolina 29658. Information is abundant online.
