This was our second trip to Hawe Creek. We love this place. Clean, tidy and well looked after. The campground host were great and they really worked hard to clean up the campground. I wish we could camp here year round. One of our favorite parks in SC.

We LOVE this park! The sites are very spacious and right on the water. Some have better direct access to the water than others however, they all have spectacular views! We stayed in site #5 and the sunset is just stunning. The bathrooms are clean, the main road is paved and a joy to ride bikes on. The boat access ramp is very nice and easy to get to. Bring your paddle boards and kayaks, you'll really enjoy them there.

Well kept campground, beautiful lake, clean restrooms and shower. Highly recommend. Great for kayaking and boating. I wish I could come in the fall, they say they are open year round but you cannot make reservations past September. I'd like to see them stay open through the year.

We stay in this campground several weeks of the year. Campground is quiet and the water is nice. Beautiful view from the points.

Our favorite camp ground on Lake Strong Thurmond! We visit several times a year! The lake isn’t very busy with boats so we can kayak all day long! Fishing is great, too!

My wife and I love camping and have found that all the places we go Hawe Creek is by far the best camping, only wish it was open all year, we love camping in the winter months and would love to see Hawe Creek open thru the winter months as well. We love the spacious sites and privacy. the host does a very good job at maintaining the camp sites and facilities. The only complaint we have is the shower head is so close to the wall you have to hug the wall to shower. We give Hawe Creek a AAA rating.
Thank You

we had a great time although we had to cut our stay short by two nights due to my three year old nephew breaking his right leg. We are looking forward to our next trip in may.

Enjoyed our stay. We were in site 9 and it was a little difficult to get level. Only other comment is that the park attendant site that is visible when you enter, is very messy. It gives a bad first impression.
