Oconee State Park

Recently my family picked up the state park guide and began collecting stamps, so we decided to travel up to Oconee to camp for two nights. We stayed in one of the water/electric sites and it was great!

The bathhouses were conveniently close and it was pretty quiet the two weeknights we stayed. The playgrounds were nice as well, our 2 year old enjoyed it. Just be sure to hit up a grocery store beforehand, while the office/general store had a few camping related supplies, they only had snacks in terms of groceries.

The only trails we attempted with our 2 year old was the Hidden Falls trail, which was 2.75 miles in and 2.75 miles back out. That one was a little rough for our little guy but the trail was great and beautiful.

All in all it was a great trip and the up country of South Carolina is definitely one of my favorite areas.

This beautiful SC state park is easily accessible and has lots of natural beauty and great amenities. The parking is abundant and there are ample fishing spots, kayaks for renting, a volleyball court, and great areas to enjoy camping or a family picnic.

Oconee State Park is unique in its great natural beauty and in the quiet solitude it offers.

A beautiful park all year round. One of our favorites to visit in South Carolina. Great waterfalls and camping locations.

Beautiful State Park located in Mountain Rest, SC and a perfect place to spend quality time with friends and family.

Y’all should go visit. Chop, chop

A perfect Fall weekend getaway. Just what we needed.....quiet, leaves, and perfect hospitality. Playing golf got our family laughing, and the Halloween trick or treating in the campground was a great surprise. We cannot wait to go back!!!

Our first visit and the park staff were very friendly and helpful. The park has a beautiful small lake with campsite and cabin rentals. The park has a lot of history, and many of the original buildings are still standing. Lots of walking and hiking trails. Summer rentals of paddle boats and canoes.

Great park with options for couples and families! We especially enjoyed the light show for the holidays. Very nice to have the wifi availability in cabins now. Staff is always very helpful. Already booked our next trip here!

This was a very well taken care of state park. The niece and nephews were able to ride their bikes all over the camp grounds and we weren't worried sick. It's like it's own little town. There are sno cone stands, a park, restrooms, little shops, ranger station etc.

Our stay at Oconee State Park was the best. The cabin sat by the Lake was comfortable. It was in good order and nice and warm on a cool & rainey night.

Absolutely beautiful. The cabins by the lake are in a phenomenal location with great views. Getting lost here isn’t a hardship. The ladies at the visitor’s center were friendly and helpful.

We love this park! We tent camped there a few years ago and recently stayed in one of the cabins for two nights. Great experiences both times. The park rangers were great, very helpful. Cabin was clean and comfortable. Beautiful trails and views, and lots of wonderful places to hike nearby.

Perfect place for a family getaway. Fishing isn’t great but the kids had a blast!

We took the boys to camp at Oconee State Park this summer, and they had a blast. I have been coming here since I was younger than them, and I was thankful that my boys had a much fun as I used to. There are activities to enjoy, like put-put, paddle boats, jonboats, swimming, trails, and fishing.

Nearby, you can enjoy a drive to the fish hatchery or explore Stumphouse Tunnel. You can drive down the mountain and visit downtown Walhalla, or take a trip further up the mountain and make your way to The Highlands if you are looking for a day trip.

Just so beautiful and serene,two lakes,incredibly clean public restrooms and cute gift shop. The staff is so friendly and helpful, planning on returning in the spring, I fell in love with Oconee

I love this state park!! We rented one of the shelters for a birthday party. It was right on the lake and there were restrooms closeby. They have 3 playgrounds for the little ones. Lake area for swimming and put-put golf. Grounds are kept nicely.

Had a great hike through the woods. Very peaceful and well kept.

We spent 2 nights at this SC campground. Its wooded and some sites like ours had a lake view. We had electric and water hookups. There are several lakes within the park and many trails leading right from the campground. We hiked to Hidden Falls and Disappearing Falls on the same trail. This park is the start of the 77 mi Foothills hiking trail .
There were several boat docks, canoe rentals, a swimming area,picnic shelters, and mini golf so plenty of entertainment for families and day trips. The cabins available were built by the CCC corps - each one looked unique. We were told by a couple we met that several had been newly remodeled.
Enjoyed a fun weekend here

Peaceful, beautiful piece of paradise. Camping is so quiet, the hosts are wonderful and helpful. The keepers of the gate are #1!

The trails and park are very well maintained and the views are absolutely gorgeous! The water levels were a bit low due to the current drought, so we weren't able to witness its full potential, but hopefully we'll be able to come back. This park will be one to remember.

A beautiful park with tent camping, cabins, and day use. There are two lakes, a kids' playground, hiking trails. I saw lots of people fishing in the lake.
