This campsite offers a peaceful retreat with a beautiful riverside setting, making it an ideal spot for families and friends. Guests appreciated the clean and well-maintained facilities, including a bathhouse with hot showers, while being close enough to town for convenience. While some mentioned highway noise, it didn't detract significantly from the overall serene experience. The hosts, Craig and Sarah, were praised for their responsiveness and helpfulness, adding to the welcoming atmosphere.
Summary AI-generated from real reviews
From start to finish, our holiday weekend was amazing at Riverside site #2. We felt like we were deep in the woods despite easy access to modern life if we needed it (we didn't!). Craig was very responsive and provided everything we needed. There were no bugs, the tree canopy helped with rain and every moment was emerged in the beauty and solitude of the saluda river by our side. We will be back!

Such a private, wonderful campsite! It’s exactly what we were looking for with our 2 kids (ages 5 and 7). It had a nice, flowing river stream with lots of river rocks and also sand for them to play in. It was a great mix of sun and shade, depending on the time of day. It felt so private and we felt safe exploring around our area. We pitched our extra large tent in the spot closest to the water - we loved hearing the constant flow of running water from the river! The firewood bundle gave us a nice fire for dinner, s’mores and even breakfast since it was a chillier morning. The bathroom was a short, easy walk for us and was very clean and well-stocked with toilet paper. We had a sound machine so the road noise wasn’t too bad for us at night - our kids slept great! They are already begging to come back here.

It was truly more than we could have asked for, it was quiet, the little river was so great to hear at night. My 2 dogs absolutely loved it! They loved swimming and running around. The other camps site were a distance away, so you couldn't hear anything going on in their camps. The shower, and bathroom combo was great. The directions were easy, it was very beautiful there! Would definitely stay again! Thank you so much, for a great time!

It was a nice spot right on the river. We enjoyed the sandy beach area as well and swam in the river. The new bathhouse was very nice.

I absolutely loved this spot!! It was perfect for trying what I thought was going to be my first solo camping trip but my best friend came with me. We felt safe being just 2 female campers. It was peaceful and it’s close to town if you forgot something. We got site number 2 and it had a nice size-able beach area. There were spots in the shade under some trees but we chose to set up on the beach with our 2-4 man tents so we could hear the water all night long. I saw in some reviews where people complained about the traffic on hwy 25. We did hear some of the noise but it wasn’t over bearing. It didn’t bother us. We slept peacefully and just loved being able to walk around while walking her dog. She did a little fishing. The water is perfect for kids to play and splash for those that have children. The beach is sandy on one side and had lots of river rocks on the other side.
The cute little bathroom was newly build and we could still smell the fresh wood from it. It was very clean, WITH HOT WATER for showering, and a regular flushing toilet!! Those are a huge deals for primitive camping. There was a water faucet near the entrance to our campsite with drinkable water. Definitely an area I would feel safe going alone. There were other campsites available but they were not too close together so u will definitely have your privacy. We happened to be the only campers at the time! Craig and Sarah are amazing hosts, quick to respond. I got to take home some fresh farm eggs. 😍

I loved that the campsites were far apart from each other. The sound of the river was peaceful too!

We enjoyed this scenic camping site with a bathroom & shower! My family enjoyed fishing and cooking trout on the campfire. We enjoyed kayaking down the Saluda River. The sound of the river was so relaxing! Sarah & Craig went out of their way to provide fresh farm eggs and bundles of wood! Would definitely stay here again!

Thank you for being great hosts!

I enjoyed camping on the river at Site #2. It was quiet and exactly what I needed. Having close access to water and a bathroom for primitive camping was really nice. I will return.

Craig and Sarah’s property was an excellent spot. The location felt peaceful and secluded, with minimal noise from the highway. Surrounded by nearby wildlife, the area retained its beauty even in winter, enhanced by the comforting presence of the river. The site was clean, and the bathhouse was a great bonus. The owners were very responsive, promptly replacing a broken space heater in the bathroom, which was much appreciated. The hot water was a lifesaver during the harsh winter conditions. Additionally, the property was conveniently close to stores for emergencies, adding extra peace of mind. Overall, as a large family, we thoroughly enjoyed Craig and Sarah’s property and would gladly return, even after enduring the harsh winter event over the South during our stay.

Nice little spot with a beautiful view! We ended up cutting our trip short due to the cold and high winds but we plan to come back when there’s better weather! Definite mountain feels even though you’re still in SC.
Not as quiet as we expected though. You can hear vehicles on the main road the entire time from the camp site but eventually it just becomes white noise. Overall, great experience!

Had a wonderful time. Listen to the owls and the creek and the rain. It was beautiful. The flowers were such a nice touch of sweetness and the shower had fantastic acoustics and plenty of hot water. The hosts communicated well and everything was clean and easy. Would definitely go back.

Overall, this is a nice, well kept campsite, and the bathhouse is a great perk. It’s convenient for freshening up with warm water. Craig is very responsive, and the $5 firewood deal is a good value.
Just note that there’s a large, older house right next to the campsite, which isn’t shown in the photos, and it’s extremely close to Highway 25. You can hear the traffic constantly, and you can see the cars passing by. This would be a solid choice for RV campers, but hearing 18-wheelers downshifting trying to sleep at night wasn’t ideal for me.

Camping by Craig's riverside retreat and hearing the water's movement all day & night, was just what we imagined it would be. Therapeutic & scenic. There was a lot of space to spread out including a small, private beach that came with our site. Craig was very responsive to our questions, before & during our stay. We also enjoyed our campfire with the great wood he delivered for a small fee. The newer & very clean bathhouse felt like an upgrade compared to other busier campgrounds we have visited. Another highlight has to be the colorful autumn bouquet that was delivered to our picnic table before we arrived for a reasonable price. It was just one of a few additional offerings they provide when you book your stay. We look forward to enjoying Craig's place again!
