This beautiful SC state park is easily accessible and has lots of natural beauty and great amenities. The parking is abundant and there are ample fishing spots, kayaks for renting, a volleyball court, and great areas to enjoy camping or a family picnic.

Oconee State Park is unique in its great natural beauty and in the quiet solitude it offers.

A beautiful park all year round. One of our favorites to visit in South Carolina. Great waterfalls and camping locations.

Great park with options for couples and families! We especially enjoyed the light show for the holidays. Very nice to have the wifi availability in cabins now. Staff is always very helpful. Already booked our next trip here!

Our first visit and the park staff were very friendly and helpful. The park has a beautiful small lake with campsite and cabin rentals. The park has a lot of history, and many of the original buildings are still standing. Lots of walking and hiking trails. Summer rentals of paddle boats and canoes.

A perfect Fall weekend getaway. Just what we needed.....quiet, leaves, and perfect hospitality. Playing golf got our family laughing, and the Halloween trick or treating in the campground was a great surprise. We cannot wait to go back!!!

Recently my family picked up the state park guide and began collecting stamps, so we decided to travel up to Oconee to camp for two nights. We stayed in one of the water/electric sites and it was great!

The bathhouses were conveniently close and it was pretty quiet the two weeknights we stayed. The playgrounds were nice as well, our 2 year old enjoyed it. Just be sure to hit up a grocery store beforehand, while the office/general store had a few camping related supplies, they only had snacks in terms of groceries.

The only trails we attempted with our 2 year old was the Hidden Falls trail, which was 2.75 miles in and 2.75 miles back out. That one was a little rough for our little guy but the trail was great and beautiful.

All in all it was a great trip and the up country of South Carolina is definitely one of my favorite areas.

This was a very well taken care of state park. The niece and nephews were able to ride their bikes all over the camp grounds and we weren't worried sick. It's like it's own little town. There are sno cone stands, a park, restrooms, little shops, ranger station etc.
