Lake Hartwell State Recreation Area
This scenic park is located on the banks of Lake Hartwell—one of the southeast’s largest (56,000 acres of water with over 950 miles of shoreline) and most popular public recreation lakes. The Park has 680 acres with 14 miles of shoreline and is a popular destination for fisherman, campers and nature lovers.
 With 115 RV and tent campsites with water and electrical, 13 walk-in tent sites, shower and restroom facilities and a dump station, it’s a great location for vacationers. There are also a couple cabin-tents available for rent that have charming views of the lake. The campsites are spread in two separate areas of the park giving maximum views of the lakes. The boat ramps give easy access to the water for all the favorite water activities.
