The property is truly beautiful and peaceful. Lights in the trees and along the lane were definitely appreciated and so darn lovely. The rustic cabin is just that! Definitely stepping back in time, the bungalow is so unique, with a well stocked kitchen, working bathroom and a super hot shower available. Very quiet and tranquil setting, trails, and sites equipped for a campfire. Definitely recommend!

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 Black Pearl Farms
We rented River Knoll Tent, it was a nice large open space- good stars! The “glamping” tent was very comfortable and clean. We rented the sauna and did the honey tasting - both were great experiences. The sauna got very hot and the honey was delicious. We found a giant checker board near the farm shop which was fun. It sounds like the owners have multiple improvements in the works as well which I’m excited to come back and see. Overall a wonderful experience and would love to visit again!
