点评:As of this review the Anglers Camp Circle is closed. They are upgrading electric to 50 Amp and adding sewer connections.
The Islanders Camp Circle is all 30 Amp service and no sewer connections. There are two dump stations which appear to have been recently upgraded.
The roads are all paved as well as the campsites. Some of the campsites had serious issues with the roots pushing the pavement up. This may be a factor when parking/leveling an RV. None of the sites are level so be prepared. I did not find it difficult to get level.
The sites on inside the circle are close to each other. The sites on the outside of the circle were not so tight and if you get a site on a curve then they are pretty good. The problem with this entire circle is the living space is VERY narrow. Most sites were built by bringing in lots of dirt to build up the site. The problem is where the pavement ends it immediately drops off so your picnic table may be sitting on a significant slope. In many cases the fire rings were on a slope as well so you could only sit on one side of the ring. Depending on the wind your fire ring may be useless.
The one bathroom we checked out was nicer than a lot of the SC Park bathrooms. Privacy doors on the showers and curtains. Seems to have been updated in the not-too-distant past. Bathroom was heated.
If you like hiking trails there is one good trail that kind of gives the feeling of being in the foothills of the mountains, Little Gap Trail. Supposedly there is a Bald Eagles nest on this trail, but we could not find it. We have been to other state parks, and they clearly mark where the nest are located.
Riding bikes in the campground would be fine, little hilly, but not too bad. Riding or walking on the loop road is iffy. It is one way and narrow. There is a trail that goes from one end of the loop road to the other to provide a safer area for walking and biking. However, it is seldom used so the leaves were thick on the trail hiding roots that I would want to see before hitting them with a bike. They will cause you to stumble a lot when walking as well. Since this trail is not used much, it would be nice if they blew the leaves after the trees have fallen in the fall. It might get more use if you could see the ground. There is a short trail that takes you to the Billy Dreher homesite.
There is no interpretive/nature center here. I would like to learn about the different inhabitants of the lake. There are a lot of clam shell and what looked like oyster shells. I would be interested in learning something about them. I would like to see some history on the park and Lake Murray. Who was Billy Dreher? Nothing. I suspect he was a property owner who had the bad luck of being in the way of the lake when the dam was built, and he was bought out. Maybe a history they don’t want to explain.
There are some playgrounds and a basketball court. It is a beautiful park but at the end of the day it is about fishing and boating. There is no beach for swimming and if you want to get in the water, I highly recommend wearing some sort of protection for your feet.
We only dealt with a couple staff people and have no complaints there.
We enjoyed our stay but not being boaters and not into serious fishing it would not be our 1st choice to come back and camp at.
If you are into antiques check out Little Mountain Antiques and Café. They are open 7 days a week and the Café serves lunch 7 days a week as well and is VERY GOOD! They serve beer and wine too!
翻译:截至本次审查,垂钓者营地圈已关闭。他们正在将电力升级到 50 安培并增加下水道连接。
Islanders Camp Circle 全部提供 30 安培的服务,没有下水道连接。有两个转储站似乎最近进行了升级。
道路和露营地都铺好了。一些露营地的根部推高了人行道,存在严重问题。这可能是停放/调平房车时的一个因素。没有一个站点是水平的,所以要做好准备。我不觉得很难达到水平。
圆圈内的站点彼此靠近。圆圈外的站点不是那么紧,如果您在曲线上找到一个站点,那么它们就相当不错了。整个圈子的问题是生活空间非常狭窄。大多数站点都是通过引入大量泥土来建造站点的。问题是人行道尽头的地方会立即下降,因此您的野餐桌可能会坐在一个很大的斜坡上。在许多情况下,火圈也在斜坡上,所以你只能坐在火圈的一侧。根据风的不同,你的火环可能没用。
我们检查过的一间浴室比 SC 公园的许多浴室都要好。淋浴间和窗帘上的私密门。似乎在不久的将来已经更新。浴室是加热的。
如果您喜欢远足小径,那么 Little Gap Trail 是一条很好的小径,给人一种置身于山脚下的感觉。据说这条小径上有一个白头鹰巢,但我们找不到。我们去过其他州立公园,它们清楚地标明了巢穴所在的位置。
在露营地骑自行车会很好,有点丘陵,但还不错。在环路上骑马或步行是不确定的。这是一条狭窄的道路。有一条小径从环路的一端延伸到另一端,为步行和骑自行车提供更安全的区域。然而,它很少被使用,所以小径上的叶子很厚,隐藏着我想在用自行车撞到它们之前看到的根。它们也会使您在走路时绊倒很多。由于这条路用得不多,如果秋天树倒了之后吹吹树叶就好了。如果你能看到地面,它可能会有更多用处。有一条小路可以带您前往 Billy Dreher 的故居。
这里没有解说/自然中心。我想了解湖中不同的居民。有很多蛤壳和看起来像牡蛎壳的东西。我有兴趣学习一些关于他们的东西。我想了解有关公园和默里湖的一些历史。比利·德雷赫是谁?没有什么。我怀疑他是个业主,运气不好,建大坝的时候挡住了湖道,被买断了。也许是一段他们不想解释的历史。
有一些操场和一个篮球场。这是一个美丽的公园,但归根结底,它是关于钓鱼和划船的。没有适合游泳的海滩,如果您想下水,我强烈建议您为脚穿上某种保护装置。
我们只与几个工作人员打交道,那里没有任何投诉。
我们住得很愉快,但不是划船者,也不是认真钓鱼的人,这不是我们回来露营的第一选择。
如果您喜欢古董,请前往 Little Mountain Antiques and Café。他们每周 7 天营业,咖啡厅每周 7 天也供应午餐,非常好!他们也供应啤酒和葡萄酒!
