Near Pickens
StateInsider tip · CCC-built park with iconic granite mountain views. Table Rock Trail (3.6 mi to summit) is a strenuous classic. Lake swimming.
Near Walhalla
USFSInsider tip · Foothills Trail base camp — 76-mile NC/SC backbone trail. Quieter than nearby Devils Fork. Bee tree falls hike from camp.
Near Townville
COEInsider tip · Lake Hartwell straddles GA/SC border. Bassmaster Classic regular venue. Sites at the dam end have the cleanest water.
Near Hopkins
NPSInsider tip · Congaree NP — largest expanse of old-growth bottomland hardwood. Backcountry tent-only. Mosquito Meter at the visitor center is a real thing; check it before going in.
Your next step
Devils Fork State Park Campground (Jocassee) takes rigs up to 45 ft, so what you arrive in decides whether the loop works at all. If you don't own one, the same trip runs on a motorhome rented in South Carolina.
Nothing in South Carolina is bookable today. Dated requests are what we take to owners, so give us the window you actually want — you get one email the day a rig covers it, and nothing else.
