Lots of fun!! Very pretty spot. Nice and shady. Fishing poles and tackle are NOT included so bring your own. One thing I would like to make people aware of is that the bathhouse is on the other side of the property so prepare for a walk when you plan on using it. But it was a beautiful place and I would absolutely come again. (Maybe in the fall 😉)

Weekend Trip to Sweetwater Lake Campground
We tried the glamping site our first time at Sweetwater Lake Campground. We were very pleased with the amenities they provided. It was so quiet and peaceful although the park was what looked like full capacity with rv's, we felt like we were all alone in the woods camping. Truly a beautiful spot we will book again.

We loved our stay at Sweetwater Lake Campground! When we arrived, we were greeted by friendly staff, a freshly made bed, and a fire already going. Very dog friendly, clean, and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay! Plus, my husband caught a HUGE bass in the lake, his PB! Will definitely be back to visit this spot!

Weekend Trip to Sweetwater Lake Campground
The site was well maintained, clean, and pretty. There are two bathrooms and it’s a 5 minute drive to a Pilot travel center which is very convenient. There was a wasp in our tent at one point and the owners came and got it out for us right away! The air mattress is comfortable and they had a space heater for a cold night. It was the perfect place to stay near Congaree NP. We would happily stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Camp at The Farm - Outside Inn
Bring your boots because farms can be muddy! The animals on the farm are well cared for, more like pets and family. It is South Carolina swamp area so be prepared. Plenty of area for fun for the kiddos. The guide was very well constructed. The trails were great, I just wish there was about 7 miles of them. If you forget milk and such, Dollar General or Food Lion is just down the road. The cleanliness was perfect for me (the microbiologist)! The accommodations were a little tight. All in all I would highly recommend this site to others!

The tent is great and spacious with an inflatable queen size mattress, fresh sheets and blankets, a heater and electricity. There are hammocks and other trees close enough for you to set up your own if you prefer. There is also a fire pit and they will give you firewood if you’re in need of more for free. The bathhouse is also great with a shower, sink and toilet. We didn’t use a ton of the stuff available due to some bad weather but overall we had a great time and enjoyed it very much. We will be back!

2 nights at Camp at The Farm - Outside Inn
My favorite campground to date. They were super accommodating when I asked to check in early. The camper I stayed in was spot on with the holiday decor, cleanliness and layout. Being able to look out the windows or stand on the deck to say good morning to my favorite little friend, Batman, was phenomenal. I got to help Macy with some feeding and poop scooping! She was great at answering ALL my questions and telling me some of their farm history and stories in such a way that was natural, casual and especially fun. Impressive all around. The combination of an easy-going and inviting atmosphere with professional standards is perfection.

I had a great one-night stay at Sweetwater. The site and the bathroom were clean and well-maintained. There were other campers in RVs nearby, but everyone was quiet.
I booked the glamping tent site, but I only intended on using my own hammock in the nearby trees. When the host realized I wasn't actually using the tent, she generously gave me a refund! She was very easy to coordinate with. If I'm in the area again, I would definitely come back to stay here.
