J. Strom Thurmond Lake - COE/Winfield
J. Strom Thurmond Lake, also known as Lake Strom Thurmond, is a reservoir located along the Savannah River on the Georgia-South Carolina border. It is the largest lake in the southeastern United States, with a surface area of 71,100 acres. The lake was created in 1954 by the construction of the J. Strom Thurmond Dam, which was named after the late U.S. Senator from South Carolina, Strom Thurmond. The lake is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and is used for flood control, hydroelectric power generation, recreation, and fish and wildlife management. The lake is a popular destination for fishing, boating, camping, and other outdoor activities. The lake is also home to the Winfield Appling Recreation Area, which offers camping, picnicking, and other recreational activities.

Without question, our favorite RV campground in the country! Large wooded sites directly on the river, with water views on both sides of the road. Immaculate. Gorgeous. Endless places to walk, hike, boat, fish... So much privacy and quiet! Nanette and staff are the best.
Jamie Watkins
Loved this place. A lot of the lots are right next to the lake. It was not crowded at all. The lake was beautiful. We took the boat out every day we were there. Highly recommend this place. 5 ⭐

Sandie Fletcher
The best campground ever! Quite, private, clean, relaxing and the site is huge. Site 15, is right on the water. Was able to launch my kayak from my site. No WIFI but I had phone data so I was able to text, call, online and stream. The Rangers are wonderful and helpful. A must stay if you're looking for a place to rewind.

Currently set up on site 76. Large, fairly level site. Nice view of the lake and good satellite reception. Only negative I've found is the over abundance of poison ivy. The trees are literally draped with it. I've seen it everywhere when walking. Know how to identify it, avoid it and what to do if you, your kids, or dogs get into it.
