Camping in Lake Greenwood State Park guide

Overview

About

The 11,400-acre reservoir is the main draw of Lake Greenwood State Park, a placid waterfront retreat in the heart of South Carolina’s Piedmont region. Embark on thrilling boating adventures (two boat ramps provide access) to Lake Greenwood’s sparkling waters filled with largemouth bass, bream, black crappie, stripers, perch, channel catfish, and more. Or spend your days exploring the lovely trails, have lunch at one of the picnic shelters next to the lake, and then go camping under the starry skies. Many of the campsites (for both tents and RVs) actually sit right on the shore.

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for privacy: Diana’s Loop offers one RV site in a private, wooded area.
  • Best for paddlers: Big Creek RV Park has several sites with waterfront access.
  • Best for boaters: Eagles Landing has a private beach and boat ramp.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. You can reserve the park's 125 campsites in advance via the South Carolina State Parks website. Reservations are available all year round.
  2. Most campsite reservations require at least a 2-night stay, and some locations and dates may require longer stays. 
  3. Reservations open 13 months in advance. Reservations requested less than one day before check-in must be made directly through the park.
  4. Campsites can book up as fast, especially on summer and holiday weekends. So book your campsite as early as possible to ensure availability.

When to go

Roaring River State Park welcomes visitors year-round. However, the optimal times to visit the region are during the warm spring weather and longer days (or September to October) or early fall due to mild temperatures and the stunning foliage (March to October). Fishing is enjoyable during all four seasons at Lake Greenwood State Park. Still, summer draws the most visitors as the swimming pool is open and colorful wildflowers adorn the riverbanks.
