The young man working in the office was very helpful, polite & did a great job. We needed to change our reservations & accommodations which was somewhat complicated; he worked hard to help us. The young man working to keep the restrooms, cabins clean & other services was also very polite & did a great job.

The park needs some updating. Horseshoe pit was in poor shape and only had 1 horseshoe. There was a camper there that looked permanent. It was missing a tire and had a tarp on the roof. It was a very run down camper. The guy living in it drove entirely to fast and blasted his music. With some updates it would be extremely nice.

Beautiful location. Clean and well maintained. One of the best campgrounds I've stayed at.

Gorgeous campground, can’t say enough good. We stayed an extra night and had a fire by the water. The sites are incredible. This time of year we could have used some heat in the washrooms, but price was very reasonable. We enjoyed crunching through the leaves and walking the beautiful trails shared by the deer we encountered. walked downtown Hartwell and the botanical gardens!!!

Everything was good except the bath houses were a little dirty & the one near the playground was out of toilet paper. Other than that the staff was friendly and helpful. The store could be a little bigger and stocked with more supplies, food, stuff, etc.

Our stay at Hartwell Lakeside KOA for Thanksgiving was fantastic. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with open arms until our departure. Our site, #11, was perfect. The lake scenery was wonderful, especially waking up to the sunrise first thing in the morning while enjoying a hot breakfast. We will definitely be booking this location again in the near future.

Enjoyed our time camping. Staff in office was great! Will definitely be back!

I was surprised that there was no presence of hosts/staff in the park. The restrooms needed attention…signs said they were cleaned daily. There’s definitely a missed opportunity for promoting the campground…the cricket theatre would be a great place to host college football viewing. The teepees looked forgotten, but with some marketing could be a fun family attraction. We’ll try again soon

Absolutely beautiful park with lots of wildlife and trails. Road Paddle board on the lake.

Would have liked if it had its leafs blown away from Our site.

Beautiful campsites and hiking trails, but the staff is awful, assigning me a site with almost no water pressure, and they replied #38 has always been like that, it needs digging-up, Then arguing over who’s turn is emptying the dog poop, so they left it overflowing for days. It would be fine for tent campers as it was designed as a State Park.

Nice, quiet campground with beautiful lake views. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because the dump station was full and we couldn’t get anyone to answer the phone in the office even though it was during office hours.

Overall it was a nice place, very quite and the place was clean. I do have a few comments; We stayed in one of the cabins, it says it will sleep 4 people. Well, lets just say that there is room for 4, but not 4 grown adults. There are a set of bunk beds, but there are very narrow and tight in the area there are in. Those bunk beds are great for kids, but not adults.

Great stay. The views were amazing! I got to ride part of the trails and wish I would have taken more time to check them out more. Will definitely be back!!!

Enjoyed our stay as always. Just thinking that if whoever owns this KOA put a little money into up keep this place would always be full.

Very clean nice and quiet get away close to town loved staying there will be back

Some nice motorhome sites, especially lakefront. WiFi connection very intermittent- Throughout stay. Nice facilities, open areas. Dog walks through the tent area- looked very nice. Suggestion - Would be good if local restaurants had better access for food deliveries.

Enjoyed my time so much staff was very friendly and helpful bathrooms were clean you could tell they had done a lot of work cleaning up all the damage from The hurricane hats off to lakeside KOA Hartwell staff �

Campsite nice. BUT, bathhouse not clean. Sign on door said "cleaned daily" or something to that effect. However not true. Also, no trash cans at campsites. Location beautiful but owners need to address customer issues.

We alway love to camp at KOA it was trick or treat weekend and we loved seeing all the kids dressed up. You need to have a Christmas weekend to that would be nice.
Oct 28, 2024
Our stay was great and we has alot of fun with the trick or treating! The only thing we had that made it unpleasant, was disrupted sleep from loud music and talking way up into the night. Saturday night it was 2:10am and the person was still going.

Nice location. Some sites great some not good. Price too high. When cleaning bathrooms need to get rid of spiders and webs. Need at least one more bath house...too far from sites. Premium sites were large and had great views of lake.

We loved this campground! The lakeside spots were great. We were less than 10 spots from the water at a pull through rv site. The campground also has great walking trails. The town of Hartwell is adorable. Check out the safari when you are in town, it was really fun!

Very nice experience! Will come again!

This is our second stay. We love it at your park. I don't know her name but the young lady who delt with our check in over the phone was great. She made sure we had a gate code without us even having to call when she realized we would be checking in late. Everything about our stay was absolutely perfect. The grounds are clean, and the site was easy to pull into. Thank you for a great stay!

The KOA wasn't bad. I know you can't pick your camping neighbors but ours were horrible. They brought their fishing boat which was fine. But they only used it a few times (3). instead, they fished from the bank and set out drop lines in the cove which hindered us from fishing. He would have run over my husband if his daughter didn't point out that he was wading in the water.

This was our first time at this campground and we loved it! Our waterfront site (6) was very level, had a nice view of the water, and large enough to put up our canopy as well as the dog pen for our 2 dogs. It was also close to the dog park which was a definite plus! We look forward to coming back again next year!

I really enjoyed my time here. I only had a couple things on why it's not 5 stars. The store is very small for a KOA, the staff was not as interactive as most KOA I have been to, and my lakeside view was of a dock and boat yard. I am sure there are better spots to pick from, but this was my first visit. I will be back in the future for sure to check out more of the hiking trails. Overall a great place. I will also note the dump station is on a kind of horseshoe road which may be difficult for the larger 5th wheel campers. I will update my review when I go back and explore more!
