Beautiful spot surrounded by wildlife and mountain scenery. The campsite is perfectly situated on a comfortable clearing. The host was incredibly helpful with any and all questions and I am thoroughly pleased with our stay. The best Hipcamp site I’ve experienced so far. Highly recommended if you really want to get away and enjoy the best North Carolina has to offer.

My girlfriend and I have a fantastic time at Andy’s campground. He came over as the sun was going down and we were getting our fire started from the firewood that he had available. Such a pleasant night under the stars. Would highly recommend!

We truly cannot say enough good things about these hosts or this property! They welcomed me and my little family with more kindness than we’ve ever experienced traveling or even near home. I’ve been through a lot emotionally and physically, and we came hoping to heal they made us feel safe, cared for, and supported. From leaving an apple for my son when he qhickly needed some fiber, to helping with groceries and packages, to lending us a propane fire pit and giving my little one a tiny shovel, their kindness never stopped.
We honestly felt like God placed us on their property for a reason. We are forever grateful.
The property is immaculate with beautiful views. Even with a nearby road, it was incredibly quiet-
early mornings and nights were almost ethereal, like being deep in the country. The pavilion was wonderful, and river access just steps away was perfect for skipping rocks and listening to the peaceful water. We also loved the community garden and the kind neighbors. Star gazing during the solar storm was completely amazing because of the extremely low light pollution from any cities. SHOOTING STARS GALORE!
Ceaser's head was only minutes away and so was Cup & Saucer coffee shop that had amazing pumpkin spice lattes and an allergy friendly quiche!
This stay was full of warmth and peace. These hosts truly feel like family to us, and because of them, we now want to move to the area. We will never forget our time here and highly, highly recommend staying with them. ❤️

What a lovely, welcoming spot Mark and Esther have. We (my bf, pooch and I) spent two nights in our 18.5' camper trailer here in Techno RV Site #2 and it was quite perfect. We had no neighbors camped near us (mid-November and mid-week) so we felt like we were alone in the woods. But there are nice tree/shrub barriers between each site so I think it would have been fine if there had been. The bathhouse was clean and had everything you needed (including a timed heater and unlimited hot water) and the hiking trails on the property were a great place to walk the dog in the morning before setting out on our adventures. Communication was great from the hosts and they were there waiting for us upon our almost-late arrival. All in all, we felt this spot was great - and we'll probably be back. Thanks, Mark and Esther!

What a wonderful, peaceful campsite! We enjoyed every minute of it. We brought my 78 year old mother & she loved the easy walk to the creek & walking through the community garden & guessing what was planted. There was great communication with Jann & she made sure we knew about all the fun places nearby. It’s a wonderful location! We will be back soon!!

Weekend Trip to At the Ridge Camp-Riverside Escapes
A great place on the river. The bed was broken and not comfortable at all. It does not have a k cup just a regular coffee pot. Bring coffee filters and not k cups. There is 2 pieces of wood going on to the deck that was rotten and I almost fell through. We only seen one porta potty for about 15 sites.

Awesome place and view, no neighbors in sight or earshot. Super private place where you can really feel alone and away from it all. The drive is pretty steep and somewhat tight in a spot or two in the dark, but we had no issues, just put it in 4wd at the bottom and eased up to the top.

1 night at Mountaintop Fantasy
This a very unique and cozy treehouse cabin in a beautiful location, right by Lake Glenville. It is a comfortable space with lots of amenities for a fun weekend in the mountains, and feels very secluded surrounded by woods and at a high elevation. Despite being there in rainy weather, it was beautiful with all the fall foliage! And Peter is a very friendly and welcoming host. I would certainly recommend a visit!

At The Ridge is a magical little campground tucked into the Pisgah National Forest. We visited at peak fall and the colors were absolutely stunning. A peaceful creek runs through the property, and we spent our evenings by the fire with the sound of water in the background. It felt like a fairytale. The grounds are well-kept, quiet, and beautiful. The hosts were so kind and even helped us park when we arrived after dark. Truly one of the best camping experiences we’ve ever had.

Our family loved spending the weekend at the Creekside Campsite. Our kids enjoyed splashing in the creek and watching the chickens! Georgianna was an amazing host and made sure all our needs were met. Tons of waterfalls and hiking close by. Definitely recommend.

We loved our weekend camping on Georgianna's land! It was a perfect mix of tent camping and "glamping" with a super nice bathhouse and everything we could need provided at our site (outlets, water hose, firewood, dishwashing bin, even tongs and a good fire poker stick!) The tent sites are nicely spaced so it feels private, but we were only steps away from the bathhouse which was great. We really enjoyed sitting by our campfire in the woods and relaxing by the creek in the Adirondack chairs. It was super fun to visit the chickens and eat fresh eggs too! The location was perfect, it feels like you're far away from the hustle & bustle but also close enough to Brevard, the Parkway, and lots of other fun stuff to do. Highly recommend and would definitely camp here again!

I got this cabin for my birthday and it was the perfect size for me and my friends. It’s in a beautiful spot near the parkway and has tons of hiking/waterfall options nearby. The campfire crackling by the creek was so soothing! Not to mention the stars at night…

We loved camping at Steven and Whitney's spot! It was easy to find, easy to park our camper, it was in a great location and the free firewood was a nice touch. We enjoyed s'mores by the campfire and I enjoyed waking up and seeing the cows! I may have indulged my inner child and mooed at them and they mooed back. Great stay!

Overview
About
Fringed by the lush mountains of the Jocassee Gorges, Devils Fork State Park is the scenic gateway (and the only public access point) to the 7,500-acre Lake Jocassee. The lake is the focal point of activities, whether you bring your own boat or rent a canoe to explore the lakeside waterfalls, seek out secluded coves to fish for trophy trout and smallmouth bass, or go snorkeling or scuba diving in the crystalline waters. Campers have a choice of RV sites, walk-in tent sites, and villas, all by the lakeside, or if you’re feeling adventurous, you can cruise out to a boat-in campsite.
Notable campgrounds
- Best for RV campers: Devils Fork State Campground has 59 paved sites with electric and water hookups by the lakeside.
- Best for adventurous cruisers: Double Springs Campground has 25 boat-in backcountry campsites, allowing boaters to pitch a tent on the north shore of Lake Jocassee.
- Best for glampers: Devils Fork State Lodging provides 20 fully equipped lakeside villas with a choice of two or three bedrooms.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- You can reserve any of the campsites or villas 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 lakefront sites, and over summer or holiday weekends. Book a minimum of three months in advance.
When to go
Getting on the lake is possible year-round at Lake Jocassee, whether swimming in the summer months or fishing and canoeing through winter. Peak season runs from May through October, and reduced camping rates are possible in low season. Nature enthusiasts should time their visit for mid-March to early April when the rare Oconee Bell wildflower blooms along the Oconee Bell Nature Trail.

Look at the campground map before reserving. Some sites are quite near the water with great views of the lake. Fantastic lake for paddling kayaks or renting a pontoon boat to get to some spectacular waterfalls only accessible by water.
