Burrell’s Ford Campground

The views are amazing! Really made the mile and a half hike from where you park to the campsite worth it. You drive up and park then walk a mile and half to the campsites. Very well maintained. Peaceful and most of the fellow campers are very kind. It’s primitive camping. So no running water or electricity. Just you and the trees. There is a “bathroom” up where you park your car and a “bathroom” down by the campsite but that’s it. It’s clean as you can get in the middle of the mountains. Everything is clearly marked and each campsite has a fire pit, picnic table and bear safe boxes and a pulley system to hoist up your food. Great fishing spot and great for hikers who want to see some waterfalls. Family friendly but I would recommend investing in a couple heavy duty wagons to lug your camp

I've been camping, backpacking, and fishing here off and on for nearly 20 years. One of my favorite places to visit. It’s a great place to take friends and children when you don’t want to deal with all the glampers or pay $25+ a night (Burrell’s Ford is free) to reserve a campsite at a State Park. All in all, it provides a nice primitive camping experience. From the parking area, it is an approximately half-a-mile walk down a gravel road to the campsites. It helps to have a wagon to haul all of your gear or you will find yourself making multiple trips back to your vehicle. There are no utilities at the campsites so you will also have to pack in everything you need, including water (bring a filter) and firewood (the area is usually picked clean). Once you pull off of Highway 107 onto Burrel

Burrells Ford Campground is nestled up against the Chattanooga River in Long Creek, South Carolina. This is a rustic campground, with a good number of camp sites on a first come, first served basis. The Department of Natural Resources released trout into the Chattanooga just about the campground, making fishing a popular sport in the area. The campground is adjoined by two waterfalls, Spoonauger Falls and King Creek Falls. There is a primitive restroom but no other facilities. Great family place to camp and hike.

One of our favorite spots to camp and hike. We usually try to make it up here a minimum of 3 times a year. The place isn't too far to drive from here in Greenville. There is a variety of activities to do from fishing, hiking, camping, some trails and more. The spot we usually try to get is right next to the river so that is nice. My only complaints include the road maintenance, the GA side is usually nice but the other side can be quite bumpy and in need of smoothing or gravel. Another complaint is that sometimes the campsites can be trashed. We always try to pick up what we can but sometimes it is just so much. The last spot had nails and glass everywhere, so just keep an eye out when you're driving into the sites or if you have kids or pets with you.

Awesome Campground. Over 20 sites and a lot of them are river front. There is about a half mile hike into the campground. The river does get deep enough to swim in some spots. The only faculties are pit toilets and trash bins.
