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!

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

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.

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
