oconee state park

we walked the trails for about 15 minutes and saw nothing exciting but its ok I guess it must be nicer during the summer months

camping, cabins, putt-putt, swimming and more! OSP is a great get away, reserve a cabin, lean back and enjoy.

Having been on a quest to visit all South Carolina State Parks, I am also looking for those I want to bring my family to. This is definitely one of them. Camping, fishing, hiking, swimming, and local history are all draws to this park.

The beauty of these mountains draw you in. Lots of water and falls to complement the forests. There is hiking for all body types. Oh, don't forget your dog ;)

This was a nice place to visit. The swimming area had 2 diving boards. And the park provides life guards. Unfortunately the only time you can go swimming is when they are there. The hike to the waterfall is amazing. Be fore warned... The beginning is nice and easy, but when you do finally get near the falls, the path is a little more difficult. ;) The park is quite.

My family and I enjoy coming here for our short camping trips! The area is clean and spacious with well kept bathhouses if needed. We enjoy paddle boating and fishing off the dock for a little weekend fun.

We try and go to OSP At least once a year it is a real nice camp ground clean bath house's but some could use just a little more work and the sites are ok some bigger than other's we went the week after the 4th when we got there every site had camper's on them but every body there is friendly they have play grounds for children and a swimming area you can rent flat bottom boats and paddle boats they have a small putt putt coarse and 2 small lakes good fishing but I do think they need to change things a little cause it is the same thing every year maybe a different putt putt coarse and some thing else besides ping pong but all in all a nice cozy camp ground to just sit and relax

We spent a night in one of the park's vintage cabins, built by the CCC during the Great Depression. It has been beautifully restored/maintained and was completely set up for housekeeping with everything we needed to prepare meals, etc. Sitting on the porch with our morning coffee, we were entertained by a passing flock of wild turkeys! This was a delightful experience and so much better than staying in the usual hotel or motel.

Oconee State Park has everything a normal state park has and more. In general State Parks are well maintained, on gorgeous property, beautiful lakes, and great amenities, but this one had something we had never experienced. Square Dancing! On Friday night starting Memorial weekend there is square dancing in the barn from 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm. It has been a tradition there for over 65 years. It was something we would have never done and so happy we joined in on the fun. There were folks from 3 years old to 89 years old out there laughing and following along. We had so many belly laughs and a memory that will be forever in our minds. If you go to Oconee don't miss out on the fun. Step out of your comfort zone and give it a try. The park also has fishing, paddle boats, canoe rental, mini golf, and great hikes all walkable from your camp site. WE LOVED OCONEE STATE PARK!!! We will be returning again.

This park is a great place to go for the weekend. We stayed in a tent and enjoyed our campsite. There were plenty of good hiking trails and canoes for rent. Mini golf and ping pong were also available. This was an all around enjoyable place to go camping especially if you like to go hiking!

I have stayed in the cabins at Oconee about half a dozen times including this weekend. The cabins are rustic, having been built by the Civilian Conservation Corps but still with the comforts of home including central heat and air. The 20 cabins are spread along the edge of the lake. Quiet, peaceful, relaxing. Also, as an added bonus, only 20 minutes from our whitewater outfitter for the Chattooga River. Just perfect.

Oconee State Park is a jewel within a jewel. It is nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, has a beautiful lakes and tons of trails that range from Very Easy to Moderately Difficult, and that also connect to the Foothills Trail which is a flat to rolling almost 80 mile trail that will eventually reach the sea. The foliage in the Spring and Fall is spectacular. The drive to the park is serene and gorgeous. The main office and the people who work in the store are awesome.

We camped here in February, so the rate is less than peak season. Another SC campground built by the CCC back in the late 1930's. Lots of outdoor activities. There are 2 lakes, with the campground on one, and rental cabins (19) on the other. Many boats to rent on both lakes for fishing and a swimming area with diving dock on one lake. Lots of well maintained hiking trails. They are building a nice parking area for access to the Foothills Trailhead (a 76 mile trail through northern SC). The roads through the campground were well maintained with gravel, and one section is fully paved. Received Verizon data 2 bars LTE, good cell phone reception, and 10 channels OTA TV. The bathrooms are old but well maintained and clean with lots of hot water. The only issue I had was with the dump site. The opening was a very large diameter pipe with a screen to keep large debris out. The 'standard' dump hose just rests on top of this screen and when the dump valve is opened, things get messy real fast. It is totally different than any other dump site I've seen. This is highly unsanitary and needs to be fixed. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is my second camp trip to this state park and it won't be my last! Making reservations on line is a breeze! Checking in is a breeze. So many trails to choose from! Campsites are clean as are the restroom facilities. This park offers so much and I imagine it's peak time is the summer months with the swimming area. They even have carpet golf, horse shoes, boat rentals, fishing spots and if you don't have fishing equipment... they'll LOAN you some! Park staff are the best! From the lady that checks you in to the park rangers.... awesome! You'll see staff members riding around the camp site and they'll stop and check on those that appear to be having problems... or they'll drive by with a smiles and a wave! Fellow campers do adhere to the Quiet Time Rule of 10:00 pm to 7:00 am which was very welcome by these Empty Nesters! Lots of RV's in the area! Special thanks to Ranger Scott! He was a tremendous help to my husband and I!

My wife and I camped here for 4 nights with a large group of about 17 other campers. The staff where very friendly when I called and asked about coming in late they gave me the gate code. We where originally in site 25 which is in the lower lake view sites but moved to site 29 which was very large and had a good view of everything. Most of the sites and roads through the campground are loose gravel mixed with sand. The sites had a 30amp and a 15amp power and water. There's a good bit to do, serval hiking trails, mini golf, swimming, boat and canoe rentals. We as did do one hiking trail called Hidden Falls which takes you to about a 70ft high water fall. It takes you to the bottom of the falls it was about a 5.4 miles. The bath houses are your typical SC state park bath houses, not to bad. As I mentioned above the park staff where very friendly they let us use one of the enclosed shelters to have our Potluck dinner an on the last day so of our stay the staff and a ranger came by and thanked use and asked if we had a good time which we did. They also come by an collect your trash pretty often during the day so I suggest any extra cans or bottles be placed in a different bag. All in all it was a nice park an we all had a good time.
