I stayed here the first weekend in April, and our site (02) completely flooded after a storm. This site was the only one that wasn’t raised on a platform of some kind. Therefore, only ours flooded. The campfire ring was half barried, and the restrooms had seen better days. If you are willing to rough it, this site is pretty and a quiet place to experience Congaree National Park.

Campground was great and pretty quiet! Vault toilet was clean and well stocked with toilet paper/hand sanitizer. Unexpected bonus was a solar-powered charging station. The sites are not unusually close together, but there is little vegetation between them so you can really see your neighbors. Great hikes and great canoeing.

Peaceful, clean, fishing, camping, trekking and cook in the firewood. My dog loved the place.

Spent 3 days here. Campground was shady and very nice. Large sites. Staff Very helpful and kind. I was concerned that the Group sites were too close to individual sites, but all campers were respectful and quiet hours were adhered to. Walk in paths were well maintained and easy to pull wheeled cart. I highly recommend if you don't mind hauling your gear to your campsite. One drawback was no water at the campground-you had to get water at the visitor center, or bring your own.

Tent sites at Longleaf were clean, quiet, and private. It's a long walk in to sites 8, 9, 10 so be prepared to make multiple trips hauling your gear. Bring firewood, and plenty of water. There are pit toilets, but no running water. Remarkably bug free in the first week of June, nice and shady.
