Wonderful spot for a group picnic! Restrooms are a short drive away. Staff was friendly when we called them. Great location. Swimming area just down from the picnic shelter for a swim. It was cleaned up for us and the covered shelter kept us from the rain. There were three empty trash cans provided for our refuse. Close proximity to the boat ramp and only 15 mins from Clemson University. Ideal setting for a group get together!
