This is a Georgia State Park with the homestead of Elijah Clark on premises for tours. It's on a beautiful lake that connects to the Savannah River. Very busy campground, very woodsy, lots of huge pine trees. Only water and electric, but there is a dump. No Wi-fi or cell service for miles, we had to drive over 12 miles to make a necessary phone call. Lots to do at the campground, mini-golf, playground, fishing and cleaning stations, kayak and canoe rentals and launches. Lots of natural trails to explore. 20 2-bedroom cottages on the lake, 2 group shelters (one for 75 and one for 175), Geocaching, 4 boat ramps, archery, 10 walk in tent sites. Long, long, windy drive into the campground and the amenities are not near the campsites (they're up front near the office and you have to drive to them). Pretty sunsets. The closest town in Lincolnton, 12 miles away, and not much there. We drove over the bridge to McCormick, SC, but not much there either. But the campground was very peaceful, even with a lot of people.

What campers say
Elijah Clark State Park offers a roomy, well-laid-out campground with diverse options — RV hookups, primitive sites and cabins — and extensive shoreline along the Savannah River/lake. Many sites are waterfront or have beach launch areas good for kayaking, boating and biking. Staff are generally friendly; the park provides bathhouses with showers, laundry, a small store with firewood/ice and a dump station. Tradeoffs: lake levels can be low at times, and a few visitors have noted litter, cigarette debris, occasional dumpster or restroom odors, and nearby boat activity or group noise. Overall a scenic, family-friendly destination if you plan accordingly.
