Campground Reviews

Great campground
Aug 24, 2023
On July 21 and 22 I had Cabin 4 and 5. Everything was great til bedtime. In cabin 4 the sheet had sand on it from one side to the other side . I was tired and I had to deal with that. Policy say take the sheets off and put on the table. I don't understand how this could happen if clean sheets was put on the bed. Also the soap containers in both cabin was empty. They are awesome cabins

Very nice stay! I would like to see the cob webs in the bathroom and laundry area cleaned up a bit more often. But for a campground it’s very nice.

My husband and I along with our two Huskies had a "wonderful" time. It's such a nice campground and a beautiful lake. Thanks for your hospitality! We will be back "hopefully" soon! Rodney, Jackie, Skye & Maverick

Was very relaxing and super clean as always! We usually stay here 7-8 times in the summer yet this past weekend was our first for the summer due to emergency surgery and recovery was so happy to finally be able to! C y’all this weekend can’t wait�

Beautiful location and great facilities! The layout, from the previous state park, gives you more privacy and room to explore and the amenities of a modern KOA make it one of the best campsites we have visited.

Always enjoy our stay there! Will be back soon!

We love the KOA Hartwell Lakeside. The sites on the water are great. Would definitely recommend.

This was our first visit there, and loved the campground. It was quiet, cleaning, and the campsite along the water was awesome. The only thing that could be better is the WIFI signal definitely needs to be stronger throughout the campground. We will definitely be back again and again.

Site was clean with water and electric. Went with my family of 7. My wife and three small girls walked into the women's restroom on a couple having intercourse. Traumatizing to my children to say the least. Complained to the management about it. KOA advised me to stay away from the couple (Karen said I harassed them when I confronted them about it). KOA did refund my money. Not family friendly.

The campground was full but it was very quiet and relaxing. The site was under tree cover and perfect.

Cabins and linens were very clean. I loved the fact that I did not have to cook. Close to lake so we could dock our boat. Enjoyed our stay.
Jul 24, 2023
I found out that the reviews about the restrooms were false there was a guy in there twice in one day keeping them clean the grounds were also clean and everyone that works there is very friendly the sites are Level however the boat docks could use some work

4 nights in a camper. Really there is no bad site. Ours was right on the water, convenient for boating and swimming within 10 feet from our door. Would come back and stay there again next year.
Jul 22, 2023
We were there 5 nights, the staff was not very friendly, the maintenance to the area was not what we would expect at a KOA campground.
Jul 20, 2023
Nice stay but the restrooms needs a little maintenance and clean up.
Jul 18, 2023
It was nice an clean but the boats were coming to close to shore while kids were playing in the water
Jul 18, 2023
Campground was nice and shady. The sites were clean and the staff was helpful and friendly. I will definitely return.
Jul 17, 2023
Lakeside is our very favorite!! Will be there every chance I get!!
Jul 17, 2023
We stayed two nights in the cabins. Small but very pleasant experience! We will stay there again. The porch was used in the AM and the evenings when the temperature was cooler.
Jul 16, 2023
Absolutely beautiful spot in the lake! Will definitely be back! Only problem I have is they need to cool the bath houses. Very hot! And clean more regularly. Staff are extremely nice and just a beautiful location.
Jul 15, 2023
We stayed for 7 nights and loved everything about this campground - the staff was friendly and attentive, the grounds beautiful and well-maintained, and the spaciousness of each site added to the appeal. We definitely plan to return and hope to plan a family reunion for SC and GA family members.

What a great campground!!! We had our own little personal beach. Such a nice area, very clean and our spot was perfect!

Very nice place, clean and loved the swim platform as it was in the 90s the day we stayed there. Definitely recommend another stay there.

Nice lakeside sites.
Jul 10, 2023
Loved the park and most of the sites had access to the lake. However, this was the first KOA that I've ever been to that did not show you to your site and didn't have trash pickup.

Loved staying here. We had a beautiful tent site that was convenient to the bath house and entrance. Staff was very polite and helpful and a huge thank you to Haley in the office … I would definitely stay here again.

Unique
The site was difficult to get in and out, but had great access to the lake. The bathrooms were dirty our entire stay. This was the only KOA I’ve ever been to that had almost zero amenities. No activities, no garbage service, no pool, etc. This campground is highly overpriced for what you are getting. No rules are enforced which results in some pretty obnoxious behaviors by other campers.
Jul 06, 2023
Great location, maybe on of the best destination campgrounds I’ve been too. Cleanliness of the bathrooms was an issue. They were very outdated, which is fine. This is fine. As long as you have an aggressive cleaning schedule, which they definitely did not.
Jul 06, 2023
The site was very grown up with trees everywhere & very unlevel. There are no decent swim areas due to bushes & weeds. KOA should have a pool & better play areas for children. The bathhouse is rotting & nasty. We will never stay there again unless improvements are made. The only good thing I can say is that the office staff was pleasant.

Beautiful camp
Jul 05, 2023
It was my first time at the tent site. The last time I camped with koa I had a rv site even though I had a tent. It was wonderful and felt respected in my space. This time we were at a site. My space was not respected. Drunk people inour space. I was camping with my niece. We even had people (kids) peek into our tent at night. I don't know if I will come back but definitely not to the tent site

Old state park turned in to a KOA. Some sites are decent, some are really tough to get in and out of with steep hills undeveloped sites. Expect to see the most interesting fellow campers.
Jul 04, 2023
I love staying here I’ve always had a great experience. The employees are amazing go the extra mile to make your stay an enjoyable stay

This is one of the best camping places we have been to. Hartwell lakeside KOA has excellent camping options. Great Lake views. Restrooms are clean. Kids play area. Dog park. Variety of sites to fit your camping preferences. The staff is really friendly and provide great service. We have camped here 3 times and always recommend to our friends and family. I would anytime come back and camp here.
