Location & Getting There
The park is south-west of the city of Anderson at coordinates 34.4215, -82.8187, with access to the Savannah River National Scenic Highway.
On the Water
Lake Hartwell is the draw — 56,000 acres of reservoir on the Savannah River, with two boat ramps in the park and a 100-foot fishing pier for anglers without a boat. Watersports have room to spread out here in a way they do not on smaller lakes.
Camping & Trails
Camping splits into 51 standard sites that take RVs or tents, 14 tent-only sites, and five organized youth group areas that each hold 30 to 50 people. All of them front the lake.
Six miles of bike and walking trails run through the peninsula, with a short 0.3-mile nature trail for anyone who wants the woods without the distance. Rental facilities are available for group gatherings.
