We camped here for two nights. The bath house was clean and effective, though it could have been a tad warmer. There are plenty of trails and activities to keep your day full of excitement. None of the RV sites officially have sewer, however site 9 did appear to have a sewer connection. Worth investigating if you're going to be RV camping for more than a couple days.

Nice place to lunch, walk and spend a quiet day. Like all the parks in the upstate, this one is pretty quiet.

Amazing hike. Great for an afternoon with a rest and snack on raven rock. We did the entire loop in 2 hours. Took the dogs with no problems. Only saw several others out for a hike. Diverse landscape as you hike.

Please bring 13 of your closest friends when camping here! There are 14 tent sites and they are right on top of each other. There are at least two that require walking through another campsite to access. One group in our party could not have a fire in his fire ring because it was too close to his tent. The campsites are carved into and cling to the sides of the mountain, so space is very limited. For one night of our trip, our group of three families were the only ones in the park and it was heavenly. When others arrived on Friday evening and the campsites filled up, it was like one big group site -- people everywhere!There is also no trash receptacle in this park, due to a dispute with local trash collectors (or some such). I expect to pack in/ pack out on the trail, but not car camping. Every time we left the campground, we were scavenging for a place to offload our trash, which is in no way fair to the surrounding businesses, but 4 nights times 4 families is going to generate some trash.Also be aware that there are only about 6 parking spaces at the water access point, so plan to carpool or carry all your beach gear along the trail to the water.The bath house was clean, well-maintained and of sufficient size, even though one of the toilets on the womens' side was out of order.This is a beautiful park, but if you're looking for peace and solitude (or just a little distance from your neighbors), visit during the week.

We brought the kids out here for a little hike and a bit of geocaching. We found a couple of caches, one that was particularly exciting, and then hiked on to the natural bridge. Truth be told, I wouldn't have noticed it had it not been for the kids, who loved playing around it, under it, in the stream.We hung out there and had a little lunch before heading on around the loop (we were going counter-clockwise) and it was a pretty easy hike until the last quarter mile or so, which was pretty steep. Don't do this with someone who is mobility-challenged.

I have been paddle boarding, hiking, boating and swimming at keowee taxaway state park and always am impressed with the state of the park. Take advantage of the trails and go up to a few of the lookouts over the lake

This was the perfect little state park for a weekend visit. We didn't feel overwhelmed without an opportunity to see everything. The camp sites are well maintained and all are an easy enough walk to the bathroom (which there is no AC, so in the middle of the summer, showers aren't that refreshing). The price of the site was extremely reasonable and although it was considered slightly more primitive we had a water faucet very close to our site. From the campground there is a quick downhill hike to the lake where you can hang out on a little sandy beach and swim, perfect for dogs and kids. The kayak launch is great, but parking fills up fast in the lot, so get there early. We kayaked for about 5 hours on the lake, pulled off on an island to picnic and swim. I would consider not kayaking during peak season and on the weekend because there was A LOT of boat traffic and high wakes to contend with. The next day we hiked both trails- natural bridge and raven rock. Natural bridge is a quick loop with some climbs and the natural bridge is a super neat geological feature. On the other side of that trail is a cute small waterfall. The Raven Rock is a little more strenuous with some longer climbs, but the view over the lake is amazing and so worth it! There is an access point to some smaller beaches off that trail to swim on the lake. We could never get the timing right on the visitor center though as its only really open a few hours during the day. Amenities were close by in case you needed ice, food or beer. All in all a great weekend getaway.

It's on Lake Keowee, there's really not much more needed to say. Keowee is a true gem of lake with pristine water for swimming, boating, diving.

Good varied terrain, well marked hiking trails. Beautiful forest and stream , and Lake Keowee views year round.

If you have an hour, hike the Natural Bridge Trail. It is a loop trail. If open, check out the exhibit area and gift shop.
