Staying at Oconee Point at Lake Hartwell in South Carolina.

Lake Hartwell is a massive 56,000-acre man-made reservoir spanning the border between Georgia and South Carolina. Managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), it is one of the southeastern United States’ most popular recreational destinations, boasting 962 miles of scenic shoreline.

Most of the campsites are right on the water, Making it a prime camping destination. Most sites have Electric 30/50 Amp and water. There is no sewer at the camp sites. There is a dumping station on the way out of the campground though. 

Right now, the lake is about 7 feet low, so there is currently a lot of red clay exposed above the waterline. This drop is due to an ongoing extreme drought impacting Upstate South Carolina and Georgia, leaving a roughly 30-inch rainfall deficit in the upper Savannah River drainage basin.

We hope to back to this gem, maybe when the weather is a little cooler.

Coming up next week, we’ll be headed to Edisto Beach State Park. We’ll be staying at the Live Oak Campground for this trip. I’ll keep this post updated as we explore.

We stayed at the Live Oak campground, which is one of two campgrounds in the state park. The other is closer to the beech. The Live Oak Campground site about a mile from the ocean.

Getting in there, the roads are very tight, with trees and other vegetation very close to the roads, with also had a few very sharp turns. We did not have an issue with our 30′ rig. Just be aware that if you arrive with a bigger outfit, be careful driving.

Campsite was fairly nice, but also very tight, with thick vegetation all around. Miles of very nice bike/ebike trails to explore. We didn’t bring our bikes for this trip, so we walked instead.

Very quiet place, with the occasional sounds of cars coming down 174.

I’ll give this campground 4 stars due to the very tight roads within the campground, and also tight campsites.
