“this place rocks.”

Table Rock State Park fits the bill for the natural beauty attributed to scenic Highway 11. The towering mountain, which gives the park its name, serves as a backdrop for the 3,000 acre park and its facilities. Below this section of the Blue Ridge Mountains, South Carolina natives and visitors can enjoy Table Rock State Park cabins, a campground and an old-fashioned swimming hole on one of the park’s two lakes. Table Rock State Park hiking trails serve as an access point for the 80-mileFoothills Trail. South Carolina hikers can use to travel between several connected South Carolina State Parks. The Table Rock State Park hikingtrails take hikers past mountain streams and waterfalls to the tops of Pinnacle and Table Rock mountains. While the park is well known to outdoor enthusiasts for its natural features, Table Rock also has its place in history. Many of the Table Rock State Park cabins and other structures built by the CCC remain standing and are on the National Register of Historic Places.  HOURS AND ADMISSION Admission :  Memorial Day Saturday through the Sunday following Thanksgiving: $5 adults; $3.25 SC seniors (age 65 & older); $3/ child age 6-15; Free for children 5 and younger.

Darrick creek trail is easier with lots of small falls. Table rock trail harder uphill the woke way up then downhill. Great in the fall

The lake is cool, but table rock itself is kind of disappointing. If you like views and long moderate difficulty hikes, then this is for you. Just keep in mind that it will eat up about 4 hours and if you make it worth the while, bring a small picnic and have lunch up there. Otherwise it's kind of boring, but I am a waterfall kind of guy so views don't do much for me.

Camped here over a 4th of July and it was amazing. The hikes are great for the family with a wading pool at the bottom after 10 miles. Clean bathrooms and camp sites. Easy access to an amazing little donut shop down the road which was fun to build.

This place is quite nice. It's a squeeze for a big rig, but there are a few sites that will accommodate large RVs.

With no sewer connection, we used their comfort stations for hygiene. The showers are OK, except one of the two men's showers doesn't have a working cold water valve. That was OK because the hot water was not burning hot.

We got no signal for T-Mobile and Verizon, but there WiFi was very workable, even for video conferencing.

Note that the headquarters where you can check in is not the same location as the campground. Untrimmed trees on the way to the headquarters scraped our roof.

They also have a single working washing machine and dryer, free of charge.

Campground lovely. Sites quiet. Restrooms were not very clean. Bathroom tissue strewn about and hair clogging showers. The garbage wasn't emptied. You need to bring towels to dry hands.
The nightly rate above includes taxes.
In saying that, the campground was clos to a lot of interesting sites.

The lady at the check in desk at the visitors center was very nice. We stayed in the Mountain Laurel site and it was a little tight with our 22’ trailer and not very level. The sites are seemed moderately washed out. The part for me that was the most discouraging was the people across from us had multiple off leash dogs who repeatedly ran out at our truck, as well as others. We got our camper with the intention of bringing our dogs and with these dogs running around the campground I wasn’t comfortable walking them around.

We stayed here in August of 2023 for two nights and had reserved site #72. The check in female was very kind as well as the female in the general store and the young female ranger. Check in is on one side of the road, then the CG is on the other - a bit wonky to find it, but we figured out how to get there. Map isn't quite to scale (not that they ever are). Our site was easy enough to back in to, but harder to level than normal. We ended up being slanted even though we were up high on our Andersen Levelers. I walked our loop - many of the sites are eroded and in need of gravel fill. The sites really need some work, some need to be scraped and a lot of them need a bunch of gravel fill. It was 95 degrees plus, so we didn't get to hike or explore the park. Not sure what is close - lots of helicopter noise - that didn't bother me, just was curious.

So I wanted to go here for hiking and the only spot left was spot #2, not a good site except that it was near where the WiFi was located. But still, I did not like spot #2. There are better spots although I found driving the campground loop roads were sometimes tight and narrow. The sites vary in levelness and steepness. I think if you have a larger trailer you would be better staying near the lower part of the campground. Look at sites #40, 10 (pull-thru), 13, 18, or 72

The Table Rock trail is rocky in some places but I saw people of all ages doing it. Unfortunately, I fell, injuring my knee after Q-dog pulled me while on leash. Made it back to campsite but I was done hiking for about 3 weeks.

Note this is a very busy campground especially during college football season home games.

No cell or internet, park has limited WiFi.

We stayed here so we could visit nearby Sassafras Mountain, which is the highest point in South Carolina. We were there on a weekend in mid October, and the park was quite busy. However, the campground was quiet. The facilities were clean.
