Pleasant campground. Very quiet campers. I suppose this has to do with having to carry your equipment to the campsite. No music, car doors slamming, cars starting, etc. The only negative was the gnats. They are ferocious. Bug spray did not help much. Had to bail out to my tent. Spent a lot of time squishing the ones that got in the tent. I bet the mosquitoes are unbearable here in the summer.

Very nice campsite! A short walk/drive from the Harry Hampton Visitor Center - which has 24/7 access to clean water. Would definitely stay here again if I make it back to Congaree!

If you have carry a lot of camping equipment you may want to bring a wagon to carry your supplies. Also bring at least one gallon container for water to use at your site.

Good location tucked away from others, although you still had to walk through other campgrounds to really get to it.
