@BillHBC45A6BE2 · Camped on Oct 23, 2025 at Campsite #5

I had site 3. The site itself is fine, but all the sites in this area (1-5), except maybe 4 lack any real privacy. Site 4s access is a little path between 2 and 3, so it feels like somebody is walking through Site 3 anytime to/fro Site 4. The campground is not car accessible per se. You must carry your stuff in a short distance on a gravel dirt path from the parking lot. For the furthest sites, maybe 300 yards. The campground is located about 1/3 mile from the park entrance off of the main road. Most of the sites are within eyesight of the parking lot for the campground.The toilets (pit) are too few in my opinion. 1 stall for each for men and women and no water for washing afterwards. More toilets are at the Visitors Center that flush and have water, but they are about 1/4 mile hike or drive away. There is also no water (potable) at the campground. I knew this, just wanted others to be aware.I have camped out hundreds of nights and this campground, in my opinion, is not up to the US National Park standards. Its okay for a night, but it really wasnt a good park experience for Congaree as it was on the edge of it and not really immersed in the true park settings. The whole campground surrounds an open field on three sides with the 4th the parking lot and road. You are barely into the woods. I cant really see staying here more than 1 night.
