This campground gets five stars for the views but 2-3 stars for (lack of) some amenities and difficulty in making reservations. First, the views of Lake Keowee from almost every site are awesome! Some sites have cement driveways while others are gravel, seemingly at random. Most appeared level and a generous size. Some have more separation/privacy than others (for example, Sites 10-13 are very close together with virtually no separation between them). 

I had difficulty in making reservations at this campground because even though reservations are on Reserveamerica.com,  if you have ad blockers on your computer, you will NOT be able to make reservations. It took several tries before we figured this out! Also, there is a two-night minimum even during the week, and we only needed one night.

Other things that bring down my rating:

• No soap in the bathrooms! In this forever-lasting Covid environment, there should ALWAYS be soap dispensers in public bathrooms, period!

• Also, there is zero privacy in the shower stalls as hooks, benches and the dressing area are outside of the individual shower stalls and the showers are immediately to the left as soon as you enter the bathroom.

• The dumpster is not within any reasonable walking distance (more than a mile) from the campsites, and the dumpster is set up like an open pit – you throw the garbage over a fence into the open dumpster below.

• We had been looking forward to renting kayaks as the website indicated, however, the camp host informed us that they no longer did this but had neglected to change the website. While you can rent pontoon boats, we are more of the paddle sports type. 

Even though we had reserved two nights (as was required), we only stayed one. We enjoyed the views but without being able to rent kayaks, there was not much for us to do. For those who fish or own a boat (motorized or not), this might be a great place to stay!
