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.
