J. Strom Thurmond Lake - COE/Winfield
J. Strom Thurmond Lake, also known as Lake Strom Thurmond, is a reservoir located along the Savannah River on the Georgia-South Carolina border. It is the largest lake in the southeastern United States, with a surface area of 71,100 acres. The lake was created in 1954 by the construction of the J. Strom Thurmond Dam, which was named after the late U.S. Senator from South Carolina, Strom Thurmond. The lake is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and is used for flood control, hydroelectric power generation, recreation, and fish and wildlife management. The lake is a popular destination for fishing, boating, camping, and other outdoor activities. The lake is also home to the Winfield Appling Recreation Area, which offers camping, picnicking, and other recreational activities.

This beautiful Army Corp of Engineers campground is CLOSED due to hanging trees, destruction and debris that resulted from Hurricane Helene. Cleanup has been indefinitely delayed due to insufficient funds.

This is a campground so not sure why hotel survey popped up. The host were very nice and informative. Beautiful campground very clean and well maintained. We loved our site. The only issue we had is with disrespectful campers who did not pick up after their pets and let them run off lease in the campground. We had 3 fur babies and were kept on lease and picked up after each time. I know some people feel entitled or just want to ruin the adventure for others and eventually will be denied of bringing pets along on trips.

My family and I just spent a week at this campground in July. We had a terrific campsite. Nanette was so kind friendly helpful before and during our stay. Very quiet and private. We made some priceless family memories. We had a camper set up at our site from Todd Pollard he is awesome 👏🌟 We rented a pontoon boat from Clark’s Marina so nice too. My only request would be that the bath houses facility be updated and improved and more funding by to get them cleaner other than that perfect camping location. Wish they stayed open longer in the fall too.

Awesome campground. All spots are water front and decent size. Bathhouse needs to be redone for better privacy in showers. Place is quiet and great views everywhere you look

We are leaving today and have thoroughly enjoyed this campground! Staff is phenomenal! Great personalities and super nice! Clean bathrooms! Would have left 5 stars although site 36, which we would stay at every single time we came but big problem, there is no easy access to the water due to the drop off at the campsite. It is steep and very dangerous with rebar stakes sticking up. That was a real bummer although hopefully you guys will fix it before someone really gets hurt and tries to legally make an issue out of it! If it weren’t for that, this site would be total perfection! ❤️

Without question, our favorite RV campground in the country! Large wooded sites directly on the river, with water views on both sides of the road. Immaculate. Gorgeous. Endless places to walk, hike, boat, fish... So much privacy and quiet! Nanette and staff are the best.

Loved this place. A lot of the lots are right next to the lake. It was not crowded at all. The lake was beautiful. We took the boat out every day we were there. Highly recommend this place. 5 ⭐

The best campground ever! Quite, private, clean, relaxing and the site is huge. Site 15, is right on the water. Was able to launch my kayak from my site. No WIFI but I had phone data so I was able to text, call, online and stream. The Rangers are wonderful and helpful. A must stay if you're looking for a place to rewind.

Currently set up on site 76. Large, fairly level site. Nice view of the lake and good satellite reception. Only negative I've found is the over abundance of poison ivy. The trees are literally draped with it. I've seen it everywhere when walking. Know how to identify it, avoid it and what to do if you, your kids, or dogs get into it.
