Chattooga Belle Farm Lakeside

18 sites · RVs, Tents198 acres · Long Creek, SC

Chattooga Belle Farm – They Built It! By Tracy McCoy I wonder if when standing on the sprawling in upstate South Carolina, just a short hour trip from Greenville, Ed and Kitty Land heard a small still voice say, “if you build it, they will come.” While there isn't a baseball field on the property, that's about all that is lacking. Chattooga Belle Farm began as an event building set on 138 acres with a small seasonal retail store. Soon people found their way to the soon-to-be full-fledged farm and they felt it; that feeling that you've found a very special place. Peaceful, majestic and unlike any other, Chattooga Belle Farm is quite possibly the perfect place for any event and most certainly an ideal place to pledge your heart and life to another. Since the Lands opened their doors in 2010 they have come. There have been families, couples, groups, the media and fruit pickers who have all visited the farm; and they return year after year. Having been written up countless times across the southeast, US and more recently featured on The Today Show, the farm just keeps growing and getting better. With a history of growing sweet juicy apples, the soil in this part of the world has proven to be excellent for peaches, muscadines, scuppernongs, blackberries, raspberries and blueberries. The farm also grows exotic fruits like persimmons, paw paws, Asian pears, figs, and more! Today, the farm offers tours for visitors which offer incredible views and a visit to their horseshoe lake. Educational in nature, the tours leave guests more in love with the land than when they arrived. The landscape is picturesque and the mountain views are truly breathtaking in every direction. The farm hosts farm to table dinners that sell out year after year. Their U-Pick fruit opportunities evolve throughout the season with something always coming in from early summer through fall. A list of available fruit is updated often on their website as is farm tour info, upcoming events and information about cabin rentals on Horseshoe Lake. The recent addition of a distillery on the farm means the fruit is grown, fermented, distilled and bottled on the farm. The distillery is open year round Monday – Saturday. Brandies, Bourbons and Whiskeys are aged in oak barrels and aged to produce some of the finest liquors made in these mountains. The farm also boasts a challenging 18-hole Disc Golf course. The course is open to the public and the cost is $3 per game or an annual pass offering unlimited games is available for only $25. The holes are placed throughout the farm enabling play even when private events are taking place on the property. The farm store is complete with fresh produce (in season), canned jams, jellies and bottled ciders. Grass-fed, natural, antibiotic-free Black Angus beef is sold in the store. The cattle are raised on pasture which produces some of the healthiest beef you can buy. Using only natural, humane and environmentally sustainable practices, the Lands and their staff raise beef as nature intended. Bringing the best to your family has never been easier. Beef is offered in a variety of cuts boxed ahead for you when you call to order. A complete list of options is offered on their website with ordering instructions. Belle's Bistro at Chattooga Belle Farm serves salads, sandwiches, burgers and soups made with the freshest ingredients possible. The bistro is open for lunch Tuesday – Sunday from April – October. Their menu includes Certified South Carolina Grown food which makes for an outstanding menu, also which can be viewed on chattoogabellefarm.com. When it comes to weddings, Chattooga Belle Farm has it all! With all-inclusive packages that offer rental items, catering, a wedding coordinator, the minister or officiant, photographer, flowers, music, bar service and even the wedding cake. The couple can customize a package or choose from their Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum packages. Getting married has never been this easy, you bring the dress and your partner and you enjoy the day! Some of the area's loveliest weddings have happened in this remarkable place! The 2017 Eclipse Festival event planned on the farm August 21 will include music, camping, great food, distillery and farm tours, craft vendors and astrology talks and it will be unforgettable. Get your tickets today at SolarEclipseFest2017.com. Ed and Kitty and the outstanding farm team welcome you and we guarantee that if you come, you'll find that you want to stay forever! Plan your visit: Chattooga Belle Farm is located at 454 Damascus Church Road, Long Creek, South Carolina 29658. Information is abundant online.

Oolenoy Valley

1 site · RV44 acres · Pickens, SC

This RV site is on our property where we first lived in a mobile home. We love camping and thought what a great place for a quite retreat. So we made the site into a full hook up RV camp site. Beautiful location with a view of Table Rock located in the Historic Oolenoy Valley. Our property is located in Northern Pickens Co. of South Carolina. Plenty of trails, boating, biking in the area or just sit under your awning and enjoy the wildlife. Important please read! There is not evening shade in July and August, However, there are shady spots very close to the camp site that you can enjoy. Where your camper sits the Sun goes down at the front of the camper. It is typically not an issue until mid-July and August. If you need additional details, please contact me. There are two homes near the camp site. The one behind the site is our home. Just me and my wife, currently no pets. The other home is a small white farmhouse that I currently rent to close friends. Chris and his wife and two well behaved kids. The kind of neighbors' people dream of! In five years of renting this site I have only had one couple that felt uncomfortable with the homes on our driveway. They chose not to stay, and I refunded them. It is very safe here and secluded from the main road. Look at all of the pictures to make sure this is the spot for you. Thanks Sincerely SteveG

Pisgah Forest Mountain Meadows

5 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · Pisgah Forest, NC

This 5-acre parcel was part of a larger 17-acre tract/cow pasture that was for sale in the spring of 2017. We had moved to this beautiful quiet country road the year before after spending 15 years in the hustle and bustle of West Asheville. When our neighbor put the land up for sale, we jumped at the chance to protect our view (we live across the street) and own another piece of the heaven we have come to call home. This land has a creek running through it, and is in a quiet, rural, residential area that is a mix of newcomers and families who have lived here for generations. The property has a secluded feel to it while being very conveniently located to the wonderful hiking, mountain biking, and trout fishing this area is famous for. We’re also very close to cycle shops, outfitters, groceries, restaurants, etc. We love it here and are excited to develop our plan for this space. We hope you will love it here too.

The best camping near Table Rock State Park guide

Overview

About

It’s hard to miss the mountains at Table Rock State Park. Spanning more than 3,000 acres at the edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains in northwestern South Carolina, there are numerous hiking trails suitable for all abilities, including all the way to the top of namesake Table Rock and Pinnacle mountains. Along the way, explore the park’s Civilian Conservation Corps history, look for wildlife, and cool off at numerous streams and waterfalls. There are also different camping options and two lakes for visitors to enjoy. Swim in an old-fashioned swimming hole at Pinnacle Lake. Or paddle and fish for your dinner—bass, bream, and catfish can all be found in abundance here.

Notable campgrounds

The Table Rock Campground offers 94 standard tent and RV sites (including several that are ADA-accessible) with water and electrical hookups, plus 14 cabins and primitive tent sites.
Best for peace and quiet: The White Oaks Campground area is the smaller of the two standard camping areas with only 25 sites.
Best for comfort: Fully furnished cabins include heat, air conditioning, and everything else needed for a comfortable stay.
Best for organized groups: Three walk-in, primitive group camping sites with central water and privy are reservable in advance.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Book campsites or cabins online or by phone at least one day (for campsites) or three days (for cabins) in advance. Reservations can be made as soon as 13 months in advance. Most campsites and cabin reservations require at least a two-night minimum stay.
For same-day reservations, call the park directly or plan to arrive as early as possible.
Try to time your stay for less popular times, such as during the week or in winter.

When to go

Peak season at Table Rock State Park runs from April through to October. Early spring and late fall are good times to see the waterfalls at their fullest, and with fewer crowds. Winter is the best time to escape the crowds, but be aware that temperatures can dip to just below freezing. A popular event is the monthly bluegrass jam session held every second Saturday at the historic Table Rock Lodge.

Know before you go

The park has limited supplies nearby. Stock up in Greenville, Pickens, or Slater-Maria.
Free wifi is available at the visitor center, the country store near the campgrounds, and at campsites 1 through 5.
Hikers must register at the trailhead kiosk or Nature Center, and must be off all trails by sunset.
A South Carolina fishing license is required if you plan to fish at either Pinnacle Lake or Lake Oolenoy (which has an ADA-accessible pier).
Canoes, kayaks, pedal boats, and non-motor fishing boats can be rented from the visitor center or at Pinnacle Lake in season. Life jackets must be worn at all times. Lifeguards are only on duty between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
