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 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.

Our homestead is home to our family, chickens, and a livestock guardian dog. Most of our 12+ acres are wooded and our property backs up to thousands of acres of public forest land owned by Clemson University. A trail connects our backyard to the main network of hiking/mountain biking trails in Clemson Forest. For those familiar with the forest, our property is in the vicinity of Wildcat Technical, Wounded Road, and Chainbreaker trails. As private and wooded as our property is, we are only 10-15 minutes from downtown Clemson and less than 10 minutes from the small towns of Central and Six Mile. Lakes Hartwell and Keowee are also short drives. We currently offer a single campsite, which can accommodate several tents or a camper van. Our campsite features a composting toilet outhouse, and water is available from spigots at our house if needed. Though fairly close to our house, the campsite has a very private feel due to being completely surrounded by a hardwood forest.

5 nights at Coweeta Creek Campground

Coweeta Creek is absolutely our favorite spot to camp! The creek will lull you to sleep. The mountain air smells like heaven and we enjoy watching the deer and other wildlife. Melissa and Adam are the most gracious host you could ask for! The fresh eggs and honey from their hives are such a treat. You really will not be disappointed booking this great Hipcamp. It is just beautiful and so peaceful and well maintained. We look forward to visiting the spot every year!

5 nights at Cashiers Private RV Campsite

Camped here last year and just had to come back for a second time. Everything about this wonderful bougie campsite is amazing and makes for an amazing camping experience! Are dogs absolutely love this as well. Hiking in the area is great so many places to do easy hikes. We love that is has everything you need and more. The hot tube is more than icing on the cake it's a great big slice! Hoping to make a trip in the spring. The fall trips with the leaves are really special with the amazing view but I imagine the spring is really beautiful as well. The host is very quick to respond and genuinely wants your trip to have everything perfect and it is. Love having the firewood supply as we love having a fire most of the time when not hiking. Want to keep this to ourselves but it's so wonderful people should know it's the best of everything.

Oconee State Park camping guide

Overview

About

In the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the wooded slopes of Oconee State Park provide a year-round mountain getaway. Spend your days hiking the park’s six nature trails and fishing for bass, bream, and catfish on the two lakes, then check into a rustic CCC-era cabin or pitch a tent by the lake and cozy up around the campfire by night. If that’s not enough fun for you, you’ll also find watercraft rentals, an 18-hole mini-golf course, and a swimming hole. Alternatively, use the park as a basecamp for a whitewater rafting tour along the nearby Chattooga and Chauga rivers.

Tips for snagging a campsite

You can reserve one of 140 RV/tent campsites, 19 cabins, or 15 walk-in tent sites at Oconee State Park via the South Carolina State Parks website. Campsite reservations require a minimum 2-night stay.
Online reservations open 13 months in advance; same-day reservations must be made directly through the park.
Campsites can book up fast, especially for summer and holiday weekends. Book a minimum of three months in advance for the best chance at a spot.

When to go

Camping is possible year-round at Oconee State Park. Come in the summer months to swim, kayak, or stand-up paddleboard, or rent a pedal boat at any time of year. A bonus for fishing enthusiasts—the lakes are stocked with trout in winter. Look out for seasonal events, such as Fourth of July celebrations, a holiday light show, and Friday night summer square dancing.
