One of the nicest parks we have stayed in. Lake Hartwell is beautiful. We did 2 trips there this year, one with Grandkids and met relatives there and one with just the two of us in late September. July was so hot but we all stayed cool in the shade and in the water. Speaking of water, it sure would be nice to have a safer and less rocky beach in the park for the campers. The weather in September was so very nice and a breeze, sometimes winds, kept us cool while we sat out be the water. I recommend staying in the sites furthest from the main road, shaded and quieter. Go back? Definitely!
