Lake Hartwell

The Lake was pretty and quiet, camping spaces were super tight. very little privacy. Grounds were clean and well kept. Other campers were nice and people were respectful. Bath houses were cleanish but a little run down. No paper towels. The shower I used was warm - nice to have a warm shower. Biggest problem with the showers was the curtains were almost 2 feet of space to see under from the ground to the bottom of the curtain. The warmer shower curtain had a little mold and was cut and torn so it didn't really close, but there was an outer curtain that was wayyy too high (2ft gap to the floor). The wall probably wouldn't have been in such bad repair if the shower curtain actually protected it. Water splashed all over the area you are supposed to dress in. For the price I paid (nearly $300 for 3 nights to TENT CAMP), I thought they probably could afford to fix the shower house a bit. The worst part was the horrible displays everywhere of blood and skeletons, bloody hands sticking out of the ground in the ditches and fake spiders and cobwebs everywhere. A celebration of death. Very strange for a family camp.

Pretty camping area with decent parking spots. I personally think that most of the camps were too close to the neighbors' space. Also, we did not appreciate the Halloween things everywhere. Fun lake to play in and on! Bath house was reasonably clean and TP was kept stocked. There are blow dryers for hands. Shower curtains should be a bit lower. The water from the shower splashes into the dressing room and gets some of your things damp. The curtain between the first shower and its dressing room was ripped, so both areas got wet. Cabins look pretty cute. We had an RV site, so we had water and electric.

We had a great time. We stayed near the camping boat ramp so we could kayak easily! The only downside to this park is the roads. They are in need of repair. We did not use wash house facilities so can’t say anything about those.

My client wanted a lake senior session so we made out way here! Her gallery turned out gorgeous with the sunset background. The lake made the heat of summer no so bad.

We are camping in a 35 foot 5th wheel. The roads for us are narrow and full of potholes. There are low hanging branches all around, but especially at the dump station. We were inches from the edge of the pavement, and there is sometimes a 3 to 6 inch drop-off next to the paved roads and sites. The views are great but not worth the hassle for us. They allow tent campers in the rv section, even when there are plenty of tent sites available. Again, Hartwell Lake is AMAZING and we love the area, but for bigger rvs, this place is kinda sketch.
