Elijah Clark State Park

We camped hosted here for 30 days in Campground 1, bath house 7. Views were outstanding.

WiFi at office. The park has the Elijah Clark house, open on weekends, Put-Put golf ($4), corn hole (free), basketball court and swimming beach. Each camping area has a boat ramp.

Sites have water, 30 or 50 amp service The park will be going to site specific reservation sometime this fall. There are 170 campsites. Sites 34 to 57 have the best views.

No pics, because the Verizon gal, reformat my SD card. Should of known better than to stop in and ask for help. We have /Verizon coverage, so don't know about other phone carriers.

If you like history, visit Washington Georgia, about 25 miles away.

Gorgeous lakeside state park on the upper Savannah River. Well kept grounds and many activities, focused on the water. Good cell service. Comfort stations clean but dated. In summer it’s a vacation destination for boaters and groups, so evenings can be a bit noisy, but not terrible. Jet skis and speeding boats are more irritating, especially if you’re a kayaker. But camp staff and volunteer hosts work the weed whackers and backpack blowers CONSTANTLY. It’s unnecessary and completely at odds with the outdoor recreational experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this park. We arrived on a Friday, 2 days after the 4th of July and were lucky to be given a site that accommodated our 32' MH. We started off in Site #152 (wooded quiet section with only 3 sites). Site was somewhat level. Easy approach. We were content. On Monday, after the weekenders left we scored Site #114 with a lakeside view. Beautiful! Site very level and large!! We preferred Campground #2 and especially lakeside back-in sites of 112, 113, 114, 115. We also would reserve pull-through sites 116, 117, 121 and 124. Only one site in Campground #2 is 50 amp. You can navigate this by having a "split, 30 amp plug-in" as most sites had 2 available outlets.

Campground #1 is busier with the beach access and a lot of boats pulled up to the shoreline. Perfect for families but a bit too busy for us. But for those who prefer 50 amp sites then you must choose a site here. There are 21 50-amp sites. We liked pull-through site #28 and back-ins #32, #39 and #43.

Be careful if you drive a rig longer than 32 feet. Many tight spots between trees, sudden drop offs from the asphalt road and sites greatly varied on their levelness.

This is a beloved campground for many families who come for one and two-week vacations. They enjoy their cookouts, music, ski jets and motor boats. But everyone is respectful of quiet evenings and noise fades by 10pm.

Great camping experience here. Large grassy areas for running around it playing games but still close enough together so things aren’t out of the way. Would stay again. Sites were as crooked as a politician though

This is a great camp ground outside of Augusta, Ga. near Clark Hill. Lake Thurmond is a Great Lake to fish, swim, boat, or kayak. We did all. There is putt putt and corn hole near a replica of Elijah Clark’s home that one can explore. All were still closed due to Covid-19. Sites were fairly level but close to one another. Bathrooms were clean. There is washer/dryers but closed to Covid-19. This camp ground is very popular in the summer And is very busy on and off the lake. I would also recommend Calhoun Falls State Park on the South Carolina side if this campground is busy. We will be coming back. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay here. The lake was beautiful, and the camp site was spacious. We had little trouble getting pulled into our site. Once set up, we were in our own world. Most other campers were friendly, and everyone was quiet after hours. Some campsites looked like they were set up by long term stayers, and were a little trashy.

Cell coverage was weak at best, and no available wifi that I could find.
Site power had no 50 amp, but two 30 amp connections. Water pressure was good, cable was available.

Arrived with another onsite reserved. Had to take a lower standard site in order not to make customer move. Restrooms not clean no soap or towels. A few good lake sites without being crowed. More of family and kids place.

This was our first time at this campground. The site was huge and was backed up to a large lot/wooded area with privacy and it's a corner lot.
It did not have lake or waterfront access. The bath house was directly across the road. Very quiet and peaceful. We look forward to staying again.

Really enjoyed our stay at Elijah State Park. There are a ton of spots with awesome water views and beaches to swim from. The facilities are clean, and the cell service is great!

This park is located on the GA/SC line. There are 2 sizable loops. There are some really good spots and some not so great spots. Most of the less desirable spots are not on the lake. We also noted that several of the pull thru sites (including ours) had a tree or 2 you had to deal with maneuvering around.

Going in the off season, it was peaceful and serene. But, we got a taste of what it was like in the prime months as there were some With this being on the lake, lots of boats and people driving around in their golf carts. If this isn’t your thing, keep that in mind.

Check in was easy. There are plenty of hosts around. The bathhouses were in good shape.

The park also has hiking trails, miniature golf, picnic areas, playground, boat launch and archery.

Our site was a pull thru on the lake. We did have to maneuver the trailer around to get the angle we wanted because of a tree creating a bad angle. But, site was large and we had great views of the lake and no one was around us.

Cell service great. I was able to hook up and stream Netflix, etc.

Definitely worth a visit. I’m sure we’ll be back.
