Camping near Great Falls, South Carolina
Great Falls sits along the Catawba River in Chester County, roughly midway between Columbia and Charlotte. The town is the closest service hub to Lake Wateree, and it puts RV travelers within a short drive of several state parks and private RV parks.
The nearest full-service option is Lake Wateree State Park, located on Desportes Island on Lake Wateree, a short drive south. Andrew Jackson State Park lies northeast near Lancaster, and Chester State Park is a short drive west. Columbia / Camden RV Park and Broad River Campground round out the private options and generally offer longer pull-throughs and full hookups suited to larger rigs.
The area is Piedmont terrain: rolling, wooded, and cut by lakes and rivers. Most campgrounds sit near water, and fishing, paddling, and shoreline day-use are the main draws. Grocery, fuel, and RV supplies are available in Great Falls, Chester, Lancaster, and Camden.
Things to do near Great Falls
Lake Wateree is a fishermen's delight with significant populations of crappie, bream, largemouth bass, catfish and striped bass. The park has a tackle shop and park store with a refueling dock and public boat ramp, making it a practical base for anglers and paddlers. The park offers a free Tackle Loaner Program coordinated by SCDNR, plus kayak rentals, and a nature trail on Desportes Island suits families with younger kids.
Andrew Jackson State Park adds history to the mix, with a museum that details the boyhood of the nation's seventh president, who grew up in what was then known as the Waxhaws of the South Carolina backcountry, a replica 18th-century schoolhouse, a bold equestrian statue of Old Hickory sculpted by Anna Hyatt Huntington, and an 18-acre fishing lake with boat rentals. Chester State Park wraps trails and campsites around a fishing lake in the Piedmont. Whitewater paddlers can also head to the Catawba River rapids near Great Falls.

Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons for RV camping in the Great Falls area. March through May brings warming days, blooming hardwoods, and steady lake levels; September through early November delivers cooler nights, lower humidity, and strong fishing. Both shoulder seasons are popular for weekend trips out of Columbia and Charlotte, so waterfront sites at Lake Wateree State Park book out weeks ahead.
Summer is hot and humid, with afternoon thunderstorms common from June through August. Sites go quickly in the summer months, so visitors should plan ahead. Shaded sites and full-hookup loops with 50-amp service in the Taylor Creek loop at Lake Wateree State Park make air-conditioning practical. Mosquitoes are active near the lakeshore, and holiday weekends fill quickly.
Winter is mild by North American standards but can turn frosty at night. State park campgrounds in the area, including Lake Wateree and Andrew Jackson, stay open year-round, and off-season stays mean quieter loops and easier same-week bookings.

This was our second time renting from Matt and Shannon, and once again everything was smooth from start to finish. Their RV made our weekend at the Ebony Horsemen Rodeo comfortable and stress-free. Can't wait to book with them again for next year's event!

Here’s a polished rewrite of your review: --- Matt was an outstanding host. He was flexible when I needed to adjust both the drop-off location and the rental dates for the RV. He personally met me to hand over the RV, walked me through how to use the equipment, and made sure I felt comfortable. Throughout the process, he was attentive and responsive to my concerns, which made the experience smooth and enjoyable.

Super easy booking and Jeremy was very responsive to all my questions as a first time rv renter. It was all very smooth and super convenient with the delivery option. They were there and set up before we even arrived. The camper was also super nice with a lot of upgraded features. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to others!!

Jeremy is easy to contact and responds promptly. His camper was very well equipped; provided all you need for a good sleep and a comfortable stay. He has thought on and provided any incidental you might need or want. I highly recommend his camper and services.
