Still Water Campground is a HIDDEN GEM! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and relaxed. The grounds are nicely maintained, with spacious sites nestled among the trees and just enough privacy (we like privacy). In the mornings I had my coffee with a great view of the lake! Past places your view is usually another camper lol. The amenities are thoughtfully designed for both comfort and adv... Still Water Campground is a HIDDEN GEM! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and relaxed. The grounds are nicely maintained, with spacious sites nestled among the trees and just enough privacy (we like privacy). In the mornings I had my coffee with a great view of the lake! Past places your view is usually another camper lol. The amenities are thoughtfully designed for both comfort and adventure. A special shoutout to Traci, who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. She was incredibly helpful, always available to answer questions, in person or via text. She helped us find the best hiking trail and just went above and beyond! Traci’s warmth made a huge difference. If you’re looking for a peaceful, scenic, and well-run campground with a personal touch, Still Water is the place.

Fantastic management. She is the sweetest. We came last year when there was major flooding in the Carolinas and she was very informative as to where to go and what to avoid. She was so accommodating and friendly! The spot we got by the creek was so soothing and relaxing. We loved it. We are coming back this year!

We took a large group of 17 to this campground. The staff were very personable and professional. They were very helpful when we needed anything. The grounds were perfect. The tent sites we stayed in were mowed. Nice with nice fire rings. We really enjoyed the stay. We will definitely go back again.

Great campground with clean facilities, easy hookups, and great people. One of the few parks that allows side by side and atv to use on the cool trail system around park. Centrally located near all major attractions and cities and very reasonable for stays.
