If you’ve never stayed in beautiful upstate South Carolina, plan to stay two or three nights to explore! Hike to nearby waterfalls or rent a pontoon at nearby Lake Hartwell (KOA has no direct access to the lake). Find a recreation area to swim or enjoy the swimming pool during its open season. This KOA is 15 minutes from Clemson University, so stay for a sporting event or graduation and visit the SC Botanical Garden on the campus. Come for a local festival or enjoy Stumphouse Tunnel, nearby Issaqueena Falls or whitewater rafting on the river made famous in the movie Deliverance. Explore the Jockey Lot, known as the south’s largest flea market or visit the town of Pendleton—a town on the National Register of Historic Places. Take a scenic drive on a highway that follows the old Cherokee footpath. Try one of several challenging golf courses or go for a hole-in-one at the KOA’s mini-golf course. Search your genealogy at nearby libraries or museums.
