Weekend Trip to Camp Moondog

The perfect retreat right on the river, the hosts were great, making us welcome then leaving us to enjoy. Our pup has a new favorite spot to retrieve in the water. And five minutes away Buffet Latino was serving a full Puerto Rican buffet at 9 am! The perfect exit!

Weekend Trip to Camp Moondog

It was our first time camping and it was a great experience from the beginning. Mike came to welcome us and show us the place around which was really nice. The space is great, the view is amazing, it’s crazy it’s so close to the actual city and you actually feel far away like others have said already. You can hear the nature, we didn’t see any animals, the river was super nice too. In general a great experience that I would 100% recommend.

Weekend Trip to Camp Moondog

It was a nice private spot with lots of branches to make a fire. The river is right nearby which is very nice. It is a great camping spot that is very convenient given how close it is to town.

Weekend Trip to Camp Moondog

Staying at Camp Dogmoon was an enchanting experience. The camp, situated right on the river, allowed for incredible views of the wildlife. We even heard beaver slaps on our second night. As I was leaving, I made a mistake and got my car stuck in the mud. The camp hosts quickly got me out of the mud and on my way. I would 100% recommend staying at Camp Dogmoon. It is easily one of my favorite campsites I have stayed at so far.

Weekend Trip to Camp Moondog

Land was great and clear for our trip. Felt secluded but a short drive to town if you forget anything, really the best of both worlds. Was very easy to navigate and the site was clean. Mike was super friendly and helpful the entire trip!

Weekend Trip to Wooded Camping at Pond

First family camping trip was a success! Location was easy to find and kids loved it. Felt very private for our kids to run around and enough distance between campsites to not worry about noise bothering others (at least I hope we didn't). Thanks again for everything!

Weekend Trip to Camp Moondog

This was my first time using hipcamp. Based on my experience with this trip, not only will I be staying at Moondog again but I'll also be using hipcamp more. The hosts were great. They went above and beyond and provided help and advice whenever possible. They were also quick to respond to any messages. The location is great. You're minutes from stores for last minute essentials and downtown Greenville is a short drive away. You're right on the river and it feels secluded. We were at the far out and the site was clean. There is a hill but anyone moderately fit will have no problem with it and the hosts even helped transport our items with their four wheeler. I would highly recommend this place.

Weekend Trip to Camp Moondog

Great spot by the river! Very peaceful and beautiful with the river flowing past. Host greeted us and helped carry some stuff down to the site. It’s very private, but you’re not far from town. We were able to go into Greenville (downtown about 15 minutes away) to walk around town and get lunch and Walmart (5 minutes away) to get some supplies and ice. The river is about a 10 ft drop from the site, so maybe worrisome with kids but it prevented our dog from getting soaking wet. We climbed down for a little swim when it got too warm. Would love to come back!

Weekend Trip to Raven Rock

The photos do not do this place justice. I felt like I was in Narnia! Jeffrey was absolutely five star and went above and beyond to make us comfortable during our stay. He is so kind and truly a wonderful human, and I am so happy to have met him. The site is clean with a beautiful view of a mountain stream fed pond. You are surrounded by water everywhere with babbling brooks and waterfalls singing you to sleep at night. I honestly cannot wait to go back.

1 night at Indian Creek Rental's Mountain Camp

We stayed on here for 2 nights for our hiking trip.. and absolutely loved it. There was plenty of space at the primitive camp site (camping in the woods) and the Mountain View site for our group of 6 people (3 tents). The hot tub was perfect for our sore bodies after hiking for 2 days. The bathhouse was clean, modern, and spacious. The view from the Mountain View camp site is unreal.. we will definitely be returning for and hiking we do in the area! Very private, relaxing, and convenient well worth the price! Thank you Clayton & Tiffany.

5 nights at Indian Creek Rental's Mountain Camp

We had a fantastic stay at the campsite with a hot tub! The view was so pretty and peaceful. The carport was a great spot to setup our kitchen. The bathhouse was way closer than expected and the nicest one I’ve seen! We are definitely going back!!

Weekend Trip to Back Rhodes Ranch

Stephen showed us to the site. he explained the camping site was a little messy from the storms but it wasn't a deterrent for us. the camping area was private and was in front of a creek. when we went, there was no bugs. we enjoyed camping between the corn fields and the creek. would definitely come back!!

Weekend Trip to Pap's Glamp&Cabin on Lake Hartwell

This was a great place for a short getaway. We only needed food and things to cook with. The property was well maintained and user friendly. It was a needed relaxing weekend.

Weekend Trip to Camp Moondog

Mike was very clear on directions and with it being a small hike up hill to the site he offered to help carry our supplies would highly recommend camping at this site.

The site provided was absolutely amazing. The location is quiet, adorable, and very inviting. The site was clean and well kept. The bathhouse was nicer than my own bathroom. The views from the site were great, the offered trails were great, just an amazing trip. I cannot recommend higher.

We will be happy to use our ATV's to assist with getting your supplies to any of the campsites--just shoot us a message on the app if you need help!
