Paddle In Camping at Lake Jocassee Devils Fork State Park South Carolina

We are paddling in to the boat-in campsites at Devils Fork State Park in South Carolina, about an hour and a half drive from Asheville. They require a minimum of two nights for a reservation so I reserved Friday and Saturday nights. You can stay one of those nights or both nights, just let me know what you plan to do. Let's have three tents per site, which will make it $20 per night per person. I was charged $60 per night when I made the reservation. (It is sometimes $40 but not in this case. Maybe because it is a weekend, not sure.) These sites are primitive so there is no bathroom facilities but we can have a fire if anyone would like to bring firewood. Each site has one tent pad and a fire ring. The approximate distance from the main boat launch area to the boat-in campsites is two miles.

You can call the park for more information 1-866-345-7275. If you want to use one of the sites I reserved, please direct message me and I will send you a link to my venmo. I will release any sites I am not paid for on September 8.

I am not 100% sure I will be there Friday night, but if anyone plans on Friday, you can make plans in the comments. I will definitely be there Saturday and will meet anyone who is coming Saturday, at noon at a location within the park (I will include it in here soon). We can paddle together over to the site, set up and then head out for another longer paddle. We will also plan to meet up at the campsites for dinner.
