Beautiful Lake Camping
Unbelievable view of Great Blue Heron and Osprey that live on the island right in front of “your” dock. Two fishing kayaks/paddles/PFDs available to use. The campsite is essentially in Ann and Jack’s yard and while I occasionally heard/saw them for the most part it felt pretty private and quiet.

Great spot for a weekend escape.
Thank you to Ann and Jack for allowing us to stay on your beautiful property.
The turn to Ann and Jack's spot was a little tight for our 32' Class C, but we made it without issue. We arrived at night which made things a bit trickier than normal. The spot was easy to maneuver into and was clear and level. Ann and Jack provided spot lights which made getting set up at night quick and easy. Wifi is great with no issues connecting or losing service.
The lake was beautiful to wake up to. They are doing work on the dam up the lake so the lake does not extend up to the dock, but it does allow for a little beach area that we used to relax and fish. Kayaks are provided which you can wade out and onto in order to explore the lake which I really enjoyed.
Ann and Jack have a host of birds including quail, chickens, roosters, peacocks, and the friendliest duck I've ever met. My daughter really enjoyed visiting with the animals and learning a bit as well.
The property is about a mile from the Wateree State Park, and I definitely recommend checking it out if you have time. We rode bikes around the park and explored and grabbed a quick lunch at the little food stand.
Overall, we had a great visit. Ann and Jack are very kind and do their best to ensure you have everything you need. We really appreciate the hospitality and hope to be back again.

We absolutely loved our couple of days away from daily life. Perfect trees for naps in the hammocks. Great view of the lake. Ann was amazing and so very sweet. We will Def be going back!

VERY Beautiful Lake Camping!
Jack and Ann are wonderful hosts and have a beautiful piece of land that they graciously share with us Hipcampers.
They do a great job communicating prior to arrival and give good directions to enter the property. The entrance is a little narrow but easily traversed if you travel slowly. We tow a 36 foot Grand Design Imagine and made it through no problem.
We had a little trouble getting our very large rig into the camp spot, but Ann and Jack assured us that we could have drove around the property to get tucked into the spot. While that would have been easier, we were able to park our rig with a few tries and we enjoyed our weekend.
Ann and Jack are wonderful and gracious hosts. They showed us around the property and made sure that we had everything (and more) we needed.
They have everything you could need. Kayaks, life vests, fishing poles and gear, two fire pits, fire wood, badminton net and gear, corn hole boards, picnic table with cloth table cloth, outdoor camp rug, potable water, and 50 amp electric service. Oh, and use of their guest WiFi! The property is clean, quiet, and private.
We had a great time at Beautiful Lake Camping Hipcamp and look forward to visiting Jack and Ann again in the future.
This sure is beautiful lake camping!

My favorite hideaway
This was our third trip to Ann and Jack’s place on Lake Wateree, and it never disappoints!
The lake has been drawn down while the dam is being worked on, so we could walk to the island this time. The lower water level has also exposed a sandy beach area where they have installed a badmitton net.
We enjoyed feeding the chickens and peacock peanut treats in their pristine coop (new additions since our last trip). The roosters do crow, but we couldn’t hear them inside our travel trailer, and it wasn’t at all disruptive. We have chickens ourselves and theirs are much quieter than ours!
If you are looking for a place to relax and recharge, it doesn’t get better than this! Ann and Jack are fantastic hosts, and we enjoyed talking to them and learning more about the area.

Really is Beautiful Lake camping!
Ann & Jack we’re very welcoming onto their gorgeous property. Everything was as described, the lake and island was very beautiful. Very quiet, secluded and peaceful spot. Lots of wildlife and birds all around. I enjoyed just sitting looking out over the water and listening to birds. My son enjoyed playing in the water. 10/10 gorgeous place.
