Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next adventure.
Lake Murray delivers when it comes to camping. Over 1,200 campsites scatter the shoreline and nearby woods, many with lake views or tucked under tall pines. Most spots run about $50 a night, but you’ll find options dipping as low as $15 if you keep an eye out. Toilets, pet-friendly rules, and campfires are the norm. People come here to hike winding trails, fish for striped bass, or just jump in the water to cool off. If you want tried-and-tested picks, check out Camping on Pipers Pond (162 reviews), Rosewood Farm and Agripark (152 reviews), or Big Creek RV Park of Saluda SC (127 reviews). The campsites here are used by locals and travelers alike—for early morning fishing, lazy afternoons in hammocks, and nights around the fire swapping stories. Don’t forget bug spray and a decent flashlight. Lake Murray’s nights get dark, and the crickets don’t quit.
