From hiking trails and nearby boating to vineyards and historical landmarks, there's something in this area for everyone to do. Sumter National Forest (part of our namesake), Lakes Murray and Greenwood, and the Saluda River are only a short drive away, so it's easy to spend the day hiking and drowning some worms. If you're a history buff, explore the local plantations, historic battlegrounds, and classic architecture of the Piedmont area. Need wine? No problem! Visit one of five wineries, all within an hour's drive of the campground. We're also between Columbia, Spartanburg, and Greenville, where you can pick and choose between charming boutiques, chic restaurants, and lots of museums. We really are your "Gateway to Adventure!"
Only an hour's drive from the campground, experience nature in a different way at this family-friendly, interactive zoo. Events are scheduled throughout the year, so there's always something new to see and do across its 170 acres! (Entrance fees give access to zoo and botanical garden, and it's open 363 days a year.)
Traveler's Tip: Check out their light show during the month of December!

As part of your day trip, take a Segway Tour through the park and city, visit Mast General Store, or play the "Mice on Main" Scavenger Hunt as your browse dozens of unique shops. The park is open every day of the year, and admission (and parking) are free!
