devils fork state park印象

We rented a villa (cabin) with another couple. Thankfully, we had towed our power boat to the lake. Everyone there was friendly, whether it was staff of the park or fellow boaters. Lake Jocassee is absolutely beautiful, with so many coves to explore, some with waterfalls. The different types of water activities, at least during the week, never interfered with each other.

This lovely little state park has several walking trails, a boat ramp, sandy beach and lots of camping space. There is also a nice country store to help you with some things you may have forgotten. Public restrooms available. The short one mile hike to the right of the boat ramp takes you thru some beautiful marsh area, and runs along a babbling creek. This is the home of the infamous Oconee Bells which reach their peak in late February, early March. These precious wildflowers grow nearly nowhere else and are endemic to this region of the Blue Ridge Enscarpment. It is illegal to dig them however so leave them be as nature intended. Park is about a 30 minute drive to nearest grocery store in West Union.

This place is like a screen saver. It's clean and beautiful. We were at a boat landing with new bathrooms. If you're a diver, you can dive 60 feet and see "artifacts" like sunken boats, a cematary, etc... It's a gorgeous place to bring your family.

Stayed here with friends from abroad. We had a lake front site and it was beautiful. The lake is so clear with a view of mountains in the distance. There are a couple of good hikes and the Rare Oconee Bells were in full bloom.

Very tight park for big rigs to get into this park. We camped in a 35 foot MH. The park is very wooded and the sites are close together. The bathhouses are old and need updating. The attraction of this park is the beautiful Lake Jocassee

Huge shop to rent affordable kayaks, canoes etc! Beautiful lake - you can see all the way to the bottom!

A group of friends loaded up our air tanks and met at the non-motorized landing in Lake Jocassee. It's an awesome, easy place to dive. The site has restrooms, which is a bonus! There are a lot of "treasures" set up for divers. Two platforms, a mock graveyard, a wrecked boat just to name a few. We saw Bass and Catfish. We will definitely dive here again!

The campground has some small sites. We have been there three times, our first spot we ever had was # 38. It was a pull through. In order to have our camper level and not have three feet of blocks under the front tongue jack you will need an extension cord for your power plug. The bathrooms are dirty and not well maintained. When the lake is high there is little to no beach so access to the lake is limited.If the lake is low there is plenty of beach area.We have a 26ft. Travel trailer and it is pretty tight going through the campground and backing in to sites.

The beauty of the lake and the surrounding area is as good as it gets. The people in the area were super friendly. The only busy day at the park during our stay was on the Monday of Labor Day. The week after the holiday was quiet and majestic. Could count on one hand had how many motorized boats were there. Perfect place to kayak and SUP board! Crystal clear and lots of waterfall to explore.

Lake Jocassee is an unspoiled, pristine, mountain lake. Be prepared to relax, unwind, unplug, and enjoy the amazing water of this lake. Devils Fork State Park offers a hiking trails, ranger station, public beach, public boat ramp, public day use dock, outfitter for kayak, sup, and pontoon rentals. A camp store and frozen treat vendor round out the amenities. There is a waterfront campground for campers and walk-in tenters. However, across the cove are 20 private villas also apart of the state park. Each villa is free standing and some offer beautiful views of Lake Jocassee and the surrounding preserved forests of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The villas are 2 or 3 bedroom, with two baths. All are recently renovated, roomy main gathering space, large screened in porch. Some are directly on the lake with amazing views, some are tucked into the hillside woods with no view of the water. Our party of 7 recently stayed for a week in Vila 15. A renovated 3/2 on two floors. Fantastic screened in porch very close to lake, with partial views of the water thru the tree foliage. Fantastic sunsets. A small waterfront access point for kayak/canoe put in...very convenient for kayaks that we brought and stored under house/deck.There is also a private day dock, boat ramp and locked trailer storage available just for villa guests. All amenities were in excellent working order, safe to use. Be aware of SC boating regulations. We were missing a whistle on a jet ski and given a warning ticket by WiIdlife Management. We were already planning our return for next year! We spent hours on our jet skis and kayaks exploring the coves, rivers and waterfalls. The lake was uncrowded, unspoiled. The lake is 77 miles of shoreline of which 95% is preserved. There are less than 40 homes. I live on Lake Norman and it was such a pleasure to enjoy lake life the way it truly could be. Quiet. Star gazing. Water like glass. Undeveloped miles shoreline. Beautiful. Go if you can.Remember: this is a state park. there are quiet hours and no alcohol policy which is strictly enforced. TIP: the weather can change quickly therefore affecting the boating conditions. please pay attention to weather especially when heading out in small craft.
