Rolfe C. Hoyer Campground

This is a beautiful, Forest Service campground. There are no electric or water hookups at individual sites, but there is a clean dump station and potable water available to fill your fresh water tank. There are nicely maintained and clean pit toilets scattered throughout the campground as well as water spigots with good drinking water. The shower facilities are five star, the nicest I have come ac... This is a beautiful, Forest Service campground. There are no electric or water hookups at individual sites, but there is a clean dump station and potable water available to fill your fresh water tank. There are nicely maintained and clean pit toilets scattered throughout the campground as well as water spigots with good drinking water. The shower facilities are five star, the nicest I have come across at any public or private campground. Each one is privately accessible from outdoors, spacious, with sink, toilet, bench, and ADA accessible. They were very well maintained and clean. The 2025 Greer fire came right to the edge of the campground, but hasn't affected the campground itself.

I was a little nervous about getting a first come first serve campsite coming all the way from Phoenix (you can reserve too, but I didn’t get one in time) but we found a PERFECT site in the Bear loop, even getting in at almost 7 PM on a Friday night! There weren’t a ton of tent campers—lots of RVs so there is generator noise. I wouldn’t call this a super quiet campsite, the spaces are fairly close...

There weren’t a ton of tent campers—lots of RVs so there is generator noise. I wouldn’t call this a super quiet campsite, the spaces are fairly close to each other & it’s right off the road, but I like being able to socialize with neighbors so I didn’t mind that at all. Just something to bear in mind if you prefer really isolated camping. It’s great for glamping, though. Even with vault toilets (which usually gross me out) they were super clean, close to a lot of sites, and you can tell they came by multiple times a day to make sure they were in good condition. There are also 8 real restrooms (4 were out of order though) up front with flushing toilets and private showers really close to the campsite we stayed at which was awesome since I was bringing a friend who had never been camping before. Each campsite has a picnic table and a fire ring. No electric hookups at our site but I don’t know about the RV sites. We brought a propane fire pit since we are on a burn ban. The stars at night were unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Super friendly and helpful staff too. It’s also really close to downtown Greer (yummy ice cream stand) and some great trails. This is the perfect spot if you just want to get away and into nature, but don’t necessarily like roughing it just for the sake of roughing it lol. Definitely a new favorite for me!! I’ll be back!

The camp sites were lovely, large sites and not too crowded. Unfortunately they ran out of water while we were there, and when we discovered it and asked were told it’s not uncommon. Also the showers were broken bc apparently a pump broke. The worst part is no one communicated this to the campers, so we were all left to fend for ourselves and figure it out, drive to town for water etc. finally, al... The camp sites were lovely, large sites and not too crowded. Unfortunately they ran out of water while we were there, and when we discovered it and asked were told it’s not uncommon. Also the showers were broken bc apparently a pump broke. The worst part is no one communicated this to the campers, so we were all left to fend for ourselves and figure it out, drive to town for water etc. finally, all the trails were closed due to recent fires. Understandable but again, why didn’t they let us know ahead of time?? We camp solely to go on long daily hikes and to drive 5 hours before learning they were closed is frustrating. When we asked the campers hosts they said they didn’t know. We only learned after driving 30 more minutes to the trailhead. A lot of these issues could be solved with clear communication
