On the upside, park has close proximity (about 6 miles) to Hartwell, which has pretty much anything you may need! Nice hosts, nice park and great running/dog-walking/cycle trail along top of the dam. If I may make a suggestion…Prep the sites with something better than sand/stone!! Even washed stone would be a huge improvement!

I was in the loop closest to the dam road. Traffic noise a bit loud, and it’s a highway, so there’s almost always traffic. All else was fine. Man at the gate asked to see my ID when I checked in, which has never happened before. A bit unusual.
