This is a basic, tent-only campground in a convenient location. The sites move away from the parking lot with site 1 being the closest.
Things we loved: Spectacular trees! Tent platform, easy walk to our site, quiet space, hiking trail to visitors center, space for a hammock. There was a nice camaraderie between campers, and everyone was very quiet and respectful. Visitors center is a mile away and has 24-hr access to a single flush toilet, drinking water tap, and Wi-Fi (from outdoors).
Downsides: Just be aware the campground does not have anyone on site, so you just need to be comfortable being independent. Campground toilets are basic and there are really no amenities within a roughly 20 minute drive.
Overall: We really enjoyed our stay! Congaree is beautiful and interesting. Campground is clean and suited our needs, and we would know what to expect next time!

Campsite was nice and clean. The hiking trailhead was very convenient to access the visitors center. Lots of bugs and spiders so be ready. Plenty of shade, which is great.

the sites were well cared for and within an easy and short walking distance. but it would have been nice to have the flexibility to use our small camper for the night since the weather was so warm and humid. visitor center staff was friendly and the park was quite a treat to explore.

The campground itself was very nice, a pretty spot, quiet, and only a couple of minutes walk from the parking area. Here is the bad part... Being the middle of July, the heat was oppressive and the mosquitos were hungry. I probably could have handed that as I have 50 years experience camping in many different extremes, but the kicker was that the deerflies and horseflies were relentless and not just in the campground, but all over the Park. Nice place, but I recommend going there in the winter time to avoid the heat and the bugs!
