Beautiful site. Needs some work on maintenance as far as walkways and guardrails but absolutely beautiful location and cool teepees.

It is a great campground and a wonderful place to stay - around the lake is beautiful! I will stay here again if I have the opportunity!

This KOA is one of our favorite places to stay however I was a little disappointed this visit. Not sure if it was the time of year but while walking around and visiting the comfort station there was signs that things are not getting cleaned and garbage not being picked up. Normally this park is not that way. Hope it was just an off time and our next visit will be different.

I really like camping here with my family. The amenities are always clean, and staff has always been helpful. We make trips here at least twice a year. Can't wait for our next visit!

Beautiful campsites on the lake and our camp host Cory was so helpful. We had a problem with our camper and he saved the day for us. Thank you Cory.

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.

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!!!
Nov 10, 2024
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.
Nov 04, 2024
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.

I practically grew up on this lake & at this campground, before it was KOA. Coming back when I can, is always a fabulous experience...especially with family. The campground has changed some, mostly for the better. There were a couple of things that need to be updated & grass that needs cutting...etc...but it's still beautiful & enjoyable!

We love staying in the cabins and have rented them several times for family events. Checking in and out is always a breeze. Cabins are always clean. A+
