Camping near Chickasaw Point, South Carolina
Chickasaw Point sits on the northeastern shore of Lake Hartwell in Oconee County, South Carolina, near the Georgia state line. Lake Hartwell is a 56,000-acre reservoir on the Savannah River with nearly 1,000 miles of shoreline, giving RV travelers a wide range of waterfront campgrounds to choose from within a short drive.
Options close to Chickasaw Point include Misty Lake RV Park, Rock Springs RV Park, and The Point RV at Lake Hartwell for smaller private-park stays, plus Carolina Landing RV Resort for a full-amenity resort experience. For a public-lands stay, Lake Hartwell State Park is the primary option in the area, with lakeside campsites and camper cabins operated by South Carolina State Parks.
The area sits in the foothills of the Appalachians, roughly two hours from Atlanta or Charlotte and about 45 minutes southwest of Greenville along Interstate 85, making it a practical hub for regional road trips.
Things to do around Chickasaw Point
The lake drives most trip planning. Lake Hartwell holds striped and hybrid bass, largemouth, crappie, bream, and catfish, and Lake Hartwell State Park has two boat ramps for visitors bringing a boat, kayak, canoe, or jet ski, with nearly 1,000 miles of shoreline to explore. A South Carolina or Georgia fishing license is required.
On land, hiking is low-key rather than strenuous. The state park has a short nature trail that winds through the woods near the lake, and wildlife viewing turns up foxes, deer, coyotes, and birds of prey. The surrounding Sumter National Forest and Cherokee Foothills National Scenic Byway add waterfalls and scenic drives within an hour.

Peak camping season on Lake Hartwell runs from spring through early fall. Campsite rates at the state park are often reduced outside of peak season, which runs April through October, and lakefront sites fill quickly on summer weekends and holidays. Spring can also draw tournament crowds when the Bassmaster Classic is held on Lake Hartwell, attracting thousands of visitors, so booking early during that event is essential.
Summer brings hot, humid days ideal for swimming, tubing, and water sports, but afternoon thunderstorms are common. Spring and fall tend to offer milder weather and fewer crowds, and they are often the most comfortable stretches for RV camping in the area.
Winter is quiet but usable. Lake activities take place year-round at Lake Hartwell, with winter fishing possible for those who wrap up warm, and the state park camper cabins stay open through the cold months for RV travelers who want a backup roof.
How to book a campsite near Chickasaw Point
Private parks in the area, including Misty Lake RV Park, Carolina Landing RV Resort, Rock Springs RV Park, and The Point RV at Lake Hartwell, take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone, with policies that vary by property.
For Lake Hartwell State Park, bookings go through the South Carolina State Parks reservation system online or by calling 1-866-345-PARK. Reservations may be made up to 13 months in advance, and requests less than one day before check-in must be made directly through the park. The minimum stay is two nights, and some parks require longer stays during peak season and holidays. Check-in for camping is 2:00 p.m. and check-out is 12:00 p.m.
South Carolina forest health authorities advise that firewood be obtained locally, and all firewood brought into state parks must be from within the state and from less than 50 miles away.
What to expect on-site
Sites at Lake Hartwell State Park are geared to RVs. There are over 100 paved sites with individual water and electric hookups, along with walk-in tent sites and camper cabins. The campground has drinking water, flush toilets, showers, a camp store, trash collection, a dump station, and laundry facilities, and each site has a table, fire ring, and grill. Wifi is available at the visitor center, and cell coverage varies by loop.
Expect wooded, shaded loops with lake views from many sites. Roads within the park are paved but include some narrow sections, so larger rigs should drive with caution. Swimming is permitted at your own risk since there is no lifeguard patrol, and pets are allowed in most outdoor areas on a leash no longer than six feet.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Chickasaw Point, SC
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Chickasaw Point, SC?
RV rental in Chickasaw Point is an affordable way to enjoy Lake Hartwell. On RVezy, travel trailers typically run about $100 to $175 per night, Class C motorhomes about $185 to $300 per night, and pop-up campers and smaller campervans often come in under $125 per night, making a cheap RV rental Chickasaw Point trip very doable for families. To save more, book midweek, travel in March or November (outside Clemson football weekends), and use the price filter to sort listings. Pro tip: factor a delivery fee into your budget, having the rig set up for you is often worth more than the savings of towing a large rig down narrow lake roads.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Chickasaw%20Point%2C%20South%20CarolinaWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Chickasaw Point, South Carolina?
Good news: a standard driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in South Carolina, even for big Class A motorhomes headed to Chickasaw Point. South Carolina does not require a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or any special RV endorsement for personal motorhomes or trailers. You just need to be 25 or older with a valid license, and RVezy verifies your ID right inside the booking flow. Visiting from overseas? Pair your home license with an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your local auto club, usually under $20, and you are road-ready. Most first-time renters are surprised how simple the paperwork really is.
scdmvonline.com/Driver-Services/Drivers-LicenseIs my RV rental protected if something goes wrong on my trip?
Yes, every RV rental in Chickasaw Point booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance. The protection plan helps cover physical damage to the RV, so a stray branch on a wooded site at Lake Hartwell State Park or a minor bump backing into a lakefront pad will not derail your trip. You choose your level of coverage during checkout (not the host), so you can dial in the peace of mind that fits your family. Combined with around-the-clock roadside help, you can focus on the sunset over the lake instead of the what-ifs.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Chickasaw Point RV trip?
Booking is low-risk. RVezy sets the cancellation policy (not individual hosts), and it includes a grace period after booking during which you can cancel for a full refund. After that window, refund amounts depend on how far out you are from your trip start date. If a host cancels on you, RVezy provides a full refund or travel credit so you can rebook another lakefront rig. You can review the full policy on the RVezy Help Center before you confirm. The takeaway: you can lock in a great Lake Hartwell rig now and still have flexibility if your plans shift.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Chickasaw Point?
Absolutely, pet-friendly RV rental Chickasaw Point options are plentiful on RVezy. Just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on the search page and you will see motorhomes and travel trailers from hosts who welcome dogs (and sometimes cats). Lake Hartwell is a dream for dogs: leashed pups are welcome at Lake Hartwell State Park campground, Sadlers Creek State Park, and most U.S. Army Corps of Engineers campgrounds around the lake, including Springfield and Twin Lakes. There is even a public swim cove where well-behaved dogs can splash. Pro tip: message the host ahead of time about any pet fee and pack a long lead so your dog can enjoy the shoreline safely.
southcarolinaparks.com/lake-hartwellCan the RV be delivered to my campsite at Chickasaw Point or Lake Hartwell?
Yes, RV delivery Chickasaw Point is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-time renters. Many local hosts will tow the rig to your site at Lake Hartwell State Park, Springfield Campground, Oconee Point, or even a private lot inside the Chickasaw Point gated community, then level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system. You drive your own car in, and the RV is ready when you arrive. Filter by Delivery on RVezy to see hosts who offer it, and check their delivery radius and fee. Pro tip: delivered setups are perfect for Clemson football weekends when you would rather tailgate than tow.
southcarolinaparks.com/lake-hartwell/campingHow does mileage work, and how far can I drive on a Chickasaw Point RV trip?
Hosts set their own mileage allowances, and on RVezy you will often find generous packages, including RV rental with unlimited mileage on certain listings, which is ideal if you want to roam beyond Lake Hartwell. From Chickasaw Point you are about 25 minutes to Clemson, 45 minutes to Greenville, SC, about 90 minutes to Asheville, NC, and roughly 2 hours to Atlanta, GA. A weekend on the lake might only use 100 miles, while a Blue Ridge loop could use 400 to 500. Pro tip: filter for Unlimited Mileage if you are planning a multi-stop RV road trip from Chickasaw Point and you will have zero overage worries.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Chickasaw%20Point%2C%20South%20CarolinaWhere are the best campgrounds near Chickasaw Point for RV camping?
You are spoiled for choice for RV camping Chickasaw Point. Top picks within 30 minutes include: Lake Hartwell State Park in Fair Play (115 paved, full-hookup sites along the lakeshore, just off I-85); Sadlers Creek State Park near Anderson (lakefront sites and quiet coves); Springfield Campground, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers park with electric and water hookups right on the water; Oconee Point Campground in Seneca for shaded lakefront pads; and Coneross Campground in Townville for budget-friendly Corps sites. Carolina Landing RV Resort in Fair Play is a full-service resort option with pools and Wi-Fi. Pro tip: lakefront sites at the state park book up 13 months out, so reserve early.
southcarolinaparks.com/lake-hartwell/campingWhen is the best time of year to plan an RV trip to Chickasaw Point?
The sweet spot for a Chickasaw Point RV trip is mid-April through early June and again from mid-September through early November. Spring days warm into the 70s and 80s F with dogwoods blooming, while fall brings crisp 60s to 70s F and Blue Ridge color just an hour north. Summer (June-August) is hot and humid, often 88-93 F with afternoon thunderstorms, but the lake is perfect for swimming and tubing. Winters are mild (40s-50s F days), and many Lake Hartwell campgrounds, including Watsadler, stay open year-round. Insider tip: avoid the Bassmaster Classic week in March and Clemson home football Saturdays if you want quieter campgrounds and easier traffic on I-85.
weather.gov/gsp/I have never rented an RV before. Will I be okay driving around Lake Hartwell?
You will be fine, and you are not on your own. Every host on RVezy gives you a full walkthrough at pickup covering the generator, slide-outs, propane, holding tanks, and how to back into a site. Roads around Chickasaw Point and Lake Hartwell are mostly two-lane, low-traffic country roads with gentle hills, which is much friendlier for first time renting an RV than mountain or city driving. Stick with a Class C, campervan, or travel trailer under 30 feet to keep things easy. Pro tip: practice a few turns and a backup in an empty lot before heading to your campground, and keep your host"s phone number handy, they expect a check-in call or two.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat if I get a flat tire or break down during my trip?
You are covered. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so a flat tire, dead battery, lockout, or tow situation along I-85, SC-11 (the Cherokee Foothills Scenic Byway), or a back road near Chickasaw Point is one phone call away from help. You will also have your host"s direct number for quick questions about quirks like the awning or water pump, and RVezy customer support is available before, during, and after your trip. Pro tip: save the roadside assistance number to your phone before you leave the driveway, cell coverage is generally solid around the lake but can dip in pockets of Sumter National Forest.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat are the best road trip routes from Chickasaw Point?
An RV road trip from Chickasaw Point puts some of the Southeast"s best scenery within easy reach. Top routes: drive about 60 minutes north on SC-11 to Table Rock and Caesars Head State Parks for waterfalls; head about 90 minutes to Asheville, NC and the Blue Ridge Parkway; cruise about 2 hours south to Atlanta, GA for city sights; take about 90 minutes to Helen, GA for the Bavarian-style mountain village; or follow I-85 about 2.5 hours north to Charlotte, NC. Cross-border travel between South Carolina, Georgia, and North Carolina is allowed on RVezy rentals. Travel into Mexico is not permitted. Pro tip: SC-11 in October is one of the South"s most beautiful fall drives.
scdot.org/travel/scenic-byways.aspxWhat kind of fuel mileage should I expect, and how much will gas cost?
Realistic expectations help you budget. A Class C motorhome around Chickasaw Point typically gets 8-10 miles per gallon (mpg), a Class A around 6-9 mpg, a campervan 14-18 mpg, and a tow vehicle pulling a travel trailer 10-13 mpg. South Carolina has some of the lowest gas prices in the country, often 20-30 cents under the national average, and you will find easy fill-ups at the Pilot and Love's truck stops near I-85 exits 1, 4, and 11. For a typical 3-night, 250-mile loop in a Class C, plan on roughly $90-$130 in fuel. Pro tip: fuel up on the South Carolina side of the border, Georgia stations near Lavonia run slightly higher.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Chickasaw Point?
Book as early as you can, especially for lakefront sites. South Carolina State Parks open reservations 13 months in advance at southcarolinaparks.com, and lakefront pads at Lake Hartwell State Park and Sadlers Creek go fast for summer weekends, Memorial Day, and July 4th. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers campgrounds like Springfield, Twin Lakes, Coneross, and Oconee Point are booked through Recreation.gov and open six months ahead. Two-night minimums apply at most state park sites. Pro tip: if your dream weekend is sold out, check back on Sunday evenings and Monday mornings, that is when cancellations get released and you can score a last-minute lakefront spot.
recreation.gov/camping/gateways/2991What are driving conditions like around Chickasaw Point?
Driving around Chickasaw Point is mostly relaxed, with rural two-lane roads, gentle Piedmont hills, and the wide-open I-85 corridor connecting Atlanta to Greenville. The main routes you will use, SC-24, SC-243, and US-123, are RV-friendly with no low-clearance bridges. Watch for two specifics: summer afternoon thunderstorms can bring brief heavy rain (pull over and wait it out), and Clemson home football Saturdays in the fall snarl traffic on US-76 and US-123 from about 4 hours before kickoff. Deer are common at dawn and dusk on county roads. Pro tip: download SCDOT's 511 app for live traffic before tackling I-85 on a Friday afternoon.
scdot.org/travel/travel-sc511.aspxWhat amenities will I find at local campgrounds, and where can I dump and refill water?
Lake Hartwell campgrounds are well equipped. Lake Hartwell State Park offers 115 paved sites with water and 20/30/50-amp electric, hot showers, flush toilets, a dump station, laundry, and a boat ramp. Springfield and Twin Lakes (U.S. Army Corps) provide water/electric hookups, comfort stations with showers, and dump stations. Carolina Landing RV Resort is fully full-hookup with sewer at the site, Wi-Fi, and a pool. Most Corps campgrounds do not have sewer at each site but have a free dump station near the exit. Potable water fill-up is available at every dump station. Insider tip: top off fresh water before pulling into a Corps site so you can pick any pad without worrying about hose length.
sas.usace.army.mil/About/Divisions-and-Offices/Operations-Division/Hartwell-Dam-and-Lake/Recreation/Campgrounds/What is inside a typical RV rental in Chickasaw Point?
More than you might think. A typical motorhome rental Chickasaw Point sleeps 4-8 with real beds (queen in back, convertible dinette, bunk or overhead), a full kitchen with fridge/freezer, stovetop, microwave, and sink, plus a bathroom with toilet and shower. Most rigs include roof AC, furnace, a TV, and many have Bluetooth stereos, outdoor speakers, and an awning. Class B campervan rental Chickasaw Point options are cozier but include kitchenettes and wet baths. Generators, solar, and inverters vary by listing, great for off-grid weekends on the lake. Every seat used while driving has a seatbelt. Pro tip: filter by sleeps count and check the photo gallery, hosts often include kayaks, grills, and outdoor rugs at no extra charge.
nhtsa.gov/road-safety/recreational-vehicle-safetyWhat add-ons and pickup options should I look for when booking?
RVezy hosts in the Chickasaw Point and Lake Hartwell area commonly offer add-ons that make life easier: delivery and setup (typically $2-$4 per mile from their home base), generator hours, linen and kitchen kits, bikes, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards (perfect for the lake), camp chairs, and outdoor grills. Most hosts pick up and drop off at their home address near Anderson, Seneca, Fair Play, or Westminster, but many will meet you at the campground gate for a fee. Mileage policies usually allow 100-150 free miles per day, with unlimited-mileage options available. Pro tip: ask the host to include a lake-ready kit (kayaks plus a cooler), it is often cheaper than renting gear separately on-site.
sas.usace.army.mil/About/Divisions-and-Offices/Operations-Division/Hartwell-Dam-and-Lake/How does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple and secure. When you book your RV rental Chickasaw Point, you pay through RVezy with a credit or debit card, no cash exchanged with the host. You will see a clear breakdown of the nightly rate, host add-ons, the protection plan you choose, taxes, and the refundable security deposit before you confirm. The security deposit is held (not charged) before your trip and released after the RV is returned in the same condition. To avoid deposit issues: dump the tanks before returning, refill fuel and propane to where you started, and take photos at pickup and drop-off. Pro tip: record a quick walkthrough video on your phone at both ends, it is the easiest way to keep everyone aligned.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksIs Chickasaw Point a good base for a family RV trip?
It is one of the best in the Upstate. A family RV trip Chickasaw Point gives you 56,000-acre Lake Hartwell at your doorstep for swimming, tubing, and fishing for largemouth bass and crappie, plus easy day trips to Clemson's campus, the South Carolina Botanical Garden, Stumphouse Tunnel, Issaqueena Falls, and the waterfalls along SC-11. Kids love the playgrounds and beach areas at Lake Hartwell State Park and Sadlers Creek. Many RVezy hosts in the area cater to families with bunk-equipped Class C motorhomes, kid-size life jackets, and outdoor games included. Insider tip: rent a pontoon for a day from one of the marinas at Portman Shoals or Big Water, and pack the RV picnic, it is the quintessential Lake Hartwell day.
