Great place , great town. Not too much for kids except the lake so it's always quiet. We came 2 days after a MAJOR storm . Cleanup was still going on. They did a fantastic job for the limited man power they have available.
Excellent

I was presently surprised at the large size and privacy of a large number of sites here. his was a solo scouting trip with the pop-up but I'll return in the spring with my 5th wheel and wife. Another observation...I camp at the GA State Parks often and sometimes lose my perspective of just how nice they are compared to surrounding states. I scouted two SC state parks in the area when there and of over a hundred sites, I have 3 on my list as acceptable. The COE sites are far above the state parks there...

We truly enjoyed camping at Hawe Creek. We camped on site 16...it was a little difficult to get into (37 foot 5th wheel), but once we were in, it was wonderful. The site was very clean, large in size, and right on the water.

They should keep this camp ground opened longer into the year.

Hawe Creek is an awesome campground. We were on site 16, which was a very nice site. The only drawback was the access to the water.

Campsites are well spaced to give plenty of privacy and great lake views and access. Sites are level and clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I think this is now my favorite campground! The ONLY downside is that I was unable to get a signal with Verizon. I was able to get some calls through if I stood in one exact spot but many text messages failed to send or receive. Mostly it is nice not to be tied to the phone but I don’t want to be totally unreachable in case of emergency. I was also very disappointed to learn it is closed through the winter. I this area, often that is the best weather for camping - at least through December.

Think the parks should stay open later in the fall and open earlier in the spring or stay open all year. We live close by and would use the park throughout the year.

Site was an easy back in and level with plenty of room from neighbors as far as developed campgrounds go. Would have to boondock to get more private. Lake view was amazing and was able to easily access the boat from the campsite. Did not use any facilities except boat ramp which was close by. Dump station was clean, in good repair, and easy to access. Campground is in the middle of some of the most prime fishing spots on the lake enabling us to catch crappie, small strippers, and bass within site of the campsite. I’m sure catfish and brim were present had we tried for those. Only wish is that the facility would at least extend opening/closing day by a month on each end of the season or even better, stay open year round. Campground Host and staff checked on everyone regularly and was very friendly.

BEAUTIFUL campground! HUGE sites! LOTS of privacy. Neat. Clean. Very nice, welcoming, and helpful camp host. We enjoyed it so much that we extended our stay. No cell service for us there but it was nice to detox from social media. Plus it is a quick drive into town to check phones for important notifications. Food Lion, Dollar General, Family Dollar, Subway, and a few other eating places close by but if you need anything else it will be a long drive. We will for sure visit again. Not sure if I can share a link here but here is a short video showing our site and experience here: https://youtu.be/BpdsHO7grvE
