Top Camping Spots
Paris Mountain State Park
Back to TopJust five miles from downtown Greenville is Paris Mountain State Park, offering 39 paved campsites, including 13 with tent pads. There are also five trailside sites around the North Lake Trail Loop, which each accommodate two small tents. Not only is Paris Mountain a great place to tent or RV, but you can enjoy hiking, mountain biking, swimming, fishing, and more. And as long as you keep Fido on a leash, he is also welcome.

Saluda Outdoor Center
Back to TopSituated beside the banks of the Saluda River, be sure to visit the Saluda Outdoor River Company, where you can reserve your tube for a relaxing float down the river, and the Saluda Outdoor Center, where you can get your glamping on as you rent a tiny home or river pod for the night (or weekend). Little Rover can also float down the river with you as long as he wears a life vest (that you provide). The onsite restaurant, Butler Tavern, features a cozy river lodge aesthetic, serving Southern classics with a modern twist.
WYLDSTAY at Serenity Lake Farm
Back to TopTucked away on a peaceful 30-acre farm in Fountain Inn, WYLDSTAY at Serenity Lake Farm is a glamping retreat perfect for a refreshing getaway. WYLDSTAY features a blend of rustic charm and modern amenities, a stunning landscape replete with a picturesque pond, and adorable Highland cows roaming the property. Guests can connect with the simple joys of farm life, from feeding the friendly cows to picking fresh blueberries in season. Choose from one-room or family-size spacious canvas tents, immersive animal experiences, and tent-side meals by Curean.

Travelers Rest / North Greenville KOA Holiday Campground

The campground amenities include a playground, outdoor pool, ping-pong, dog park, outdoor Checkers & Connect Four, gem-mining sluice, and more—all just 10 minutes north of downtown Travelers Rest.

Wildwater

Wildwater, a little more than an hour away in Long Creek, SC, has you covered with a terrific assortment of luxury houses, cozy cabins named after iconic Chattooga rapids, duplex cottages, and yurt rental options—in addition to the one-of-a-kind Chattooga Treehouse Goldfinch birdhouse.
