Camp Moondog is a 36-acre forested property hosting 3 campsites in beautiful Greenville, South Carolina. Flanked on either side by the Saluda River (almost half a mile of river frontage!), this property is a must-book for nature lovers visiting the area or Greenvillians just looking for a getaway for some woods and river merriment. This property is located right across the river, or a short 5-minute drive to Dolly Cooper State Park that draws in disc-golf enthusiasts and park explorers alike. Camp moondog is only a 10-minute drive from the world-renowned Downtown Greenville, a destination known for its excellent restaurants, festivals, shopping, and social scene. Being situated so close to the city-center means that food delivery is just a click away, and running out for that last-minute necessity is a breeze. This is a unique opportunity to get “off the grid” without having to make those ‘off the grid’ sacrifices. At Camp Moondog, our philosophy is to offer a carefree, clean, natural environment for a relaxing camping vacation experience. 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! Because there is always ample deadfall all over the property for firewood collection, pre-packaged firewood bundles are not supplied or available for sale. Please take this into consideration if there has been recent rainfall. We look forward to hosting you here at Camp Moondog. Happy Trails! ~Mike and Kelly

This RV site is on our property where we first lived in a mobile home. We love camping and thought what a great place for a quite retreat. So we made the site into a full hook up RV camp site. Beautiful location with a view of Table Rock located in the Historic Oolenoy Valley. Our property is located in Northern Pickens Co. of South Carolina. Plenty of trails, boating, biking in the area or just sit under your awning and enjoy the wildlife. Important please read! There is not evening shade in July and August, However, there are shady spots very close to the camp site that you can enjoy. Where your camper sits the Sun goes down at the front of the camper. It is typically not an issue until mid-July and August. If you need additional details, please contact me. There are two homes near the camp site. The one behind the site is our home. Just me and my wife, currently no pets. The other home is a small white farmhouse that I currently rent to close friends. Chris and his wife and two well behaved kids. The kind of neighbors' people dream of! In five years of renting this site I have only had one couple that felt uncomfortable with the homes on our driveway. They chose not to stay, and I refunded them. It is very safe here and secluded from the main road. Look at all of the pictures to make sure this is the spot for you. Thanks Sincerely SteveG

Where to go

Greenville Vicinity

The Swamp Rabbit Trail is a 22 mile scenic greenway linking Greenville to Travelers Rest that’s popular with cyclists. Paris Mountain State Park preserves 1,700 acres of parkland and a 2,000-foot tall monadnock (isolated small mountain) within city limits. There are four lakes and 17 miles of hiking and biking trails to enjoy here, where RV campers will find an assortment of RV parks with free wifi, full hookups, and dump stations. Additional RV sites may be found locally in Pickens, Simpsonville, and Cleveland.

Table Rock State Park

About 40 minutes northwest of Greenville, Table Rock State Park is home to a spectacular granite dome with an elevation of 3,124 feet. There are hiking trails to the summit and shorter routes to waterfalls. The campground here has both tent camping and RV camping options, and sites come with picnic tables and fire rings.

Devils Fork State Park

Devils Fork State Park has lakeside camping on the beautiful Lake Jocassee. The exceptionally clear water here makes it a favorite for swimming, snorkeling, and scuba. Kayak, canoe, and stand up paddle board rentals are available nearby.

Jones Gap State Park

Jones Gap State Park features a beautiful mountain cove and 30 miles of hiking trails through forests and waterfalls, including a classic route to Rainbow Falls.

When to go

Camping is possible year-round in Greenville, with summer being the most pleasant and popular camping season. Winter lows can reach freezing and snow or ice is possible, especially at higher elevations. If you have the opportunity to travel here in the fall, the area’s deciduous trees undergo a spectacular fall foliage color transformation. Spring visitors are rewarded with waterfalls flowing at full strength.
