How to book a campsite near New Ellenton
Aiken State Park sites are booked through the South Carolina State Parks reservation system online or by phone at 1-866-345-PARK. Camping reservations must be made for a minimum of two nights, and reservations requested less than one day in advance of check-in must be made directly through the park. Weekends in spring and fall book out first.
Private parks near New Ellenton, including Campertown RV Park, Carolina Hill Mobile Home and RV Park, Aiken RV Park, and Made In the Shade Campground and RV Park, are booked directly with each property by phone or through their websites.

What to expect on-site
Private RV parks in and around New Ellenton generally offer full hookups with 30 and 50 amp service, gravel or grass pads, and long-term guests on-site. Amenities tend to be simple: laundry, a bathhouse, and Wi-Fi at some locations. These parks read more as practical basecamps than resort destinations.
At Aiken State Park, the main campground has 25 available campsites, each with packed sand, water, electrical hook-ups (20, 30 and 50 amps), a fire ring and picnic table. Five full hook-up sites are available, and some sites can accommodate RVs up to 35 feet. Sites are wooded and shaded, with access to the park's ponds and trails. Cell service is generally usable but can be patchy under heavy tree cover.
Mosquitoes and ticks are active from late spring through early fall, so pack repellent. Grocery, fuel, and propane are available in Aiken and North Augusta, both a short drive from any of the nearby campgrounds.
