We were there in April, and found the campground to be very quiet and peaceful all 5 days we were there. Over the weekend, even with the campground filling up, it was still peaceful. The spots are well distanced from each other. It was a bit cold for swimming, but we did walk to the edge and try fishing. My only complaint is the online booking - there is a lack of photos of each site, and it's really hard to tell what the access to the water looks like. Some of the spots have an easier access to get into the water than others, especially for small children. We used campsitephotos.com to get an idea of what the sites looked like.

I've heard them yell at grown adults about "foreplay" in the pool. As an adult, I wasn't doing "foreplay" but was yelled at along with the rest of the campers. It was very uncomfortable to be yelled at by the workers there. Totally uncalled for and could have been handled in a much better way. I'm leaning toward not going back here. At this point, there are too many other options in the area to be treated like a child. It's a gay campground, not a 5 star resort. Lighten up and treat people with respect. I'm not sure who actually owns this camp, but maybe there should be a visit to see what's going on here. It was totally on the right track but seems to be faltering a bit. I guess camp's go through cycles?

We have camped here twice, once in the fall and this time in late March. Both were unique in their own way with the fall trip taking the cake. On both trips the morning sun greeted us ablaze with colors only to be rivaled by its sunset as the long day closed upon us. Beautiful. Serene. The camping reservations are easy through the SC website and the prices very reasonable. Most sites have a view of the lake and several are right on it. We did notice this time (spring) that several locals booked their family vacation here during spring break. Sadly, several lugged all their crap from home with them: refrigerators, large grills, full-size kitchen ovens, awnings, boats, golf carts, bikes, dogs, and kids. The center of the campground looked like a hillbilly hoedown. People were kind and respectful, but damn, it's camping people! Overall, we like it here and we will return.

Dear Friends, I'm a…read morelover of staycations for many reasons. The most important is a change of scenery and a place close to home is necessary to review and renew. Let's face it, life can be super busy and having a moment to press pause, reflect, and rejuvenate is key. I spent three days an two nights at this site and it fantastic. The room is so well decorated and filled with the amenities of home. It trucks the brain and you forget that you're literally sleeping in a large tent. The tent is equipped with a real bed with all the things we love including a very comfortable mattresses. The tent also has chairs, a refrigerator, coffee maker, and an a/c and heating unit. My favorite part of the site is the restrooms and shower building. I was pleasantly surprised at how clean it is kept. While I was there, I was greeted by the Timberline staff several times cleaning the restrooms. Group Suggestions: I'd suggest booking a few of the tents and having a nice family reunion. I'd also bring bikes and fishing equipment. There is a dock next to the site and I'm sure it's a great place to fish. Since my stay, they now have someone who offers golf cart rentals. That would be great to use to go play disc golf or go to one of the beaches there. Solo Suggestions: This is a solo travelers dream because they offer a place to renew. I spent my days just watching nature, journaling, and reading. Please share your story, reel or photos with me when you venture out to @timberline glamping in Appling, GA. Wishing you much fun!

From the first employee we encountered at the gate (very nice young lady who gave good directions) to the last everyone was friendly, professional and helpful. The boat (pontoon) was clean, in good repair, and powered by a Mercury engine. I mention this because Mercury engines have a longstanding reputation for reliability. So, one less thing to worry about. I should also mention that my wife is disabled, so getting into the boat was a little more difficult for her. The employees at Big Water didn't hesitate to come to her aid and make the process as easy as possible. It was a small thing, but it meant a lot to us! Lake Hartwell was beautiful, and I would absolutely rent from Big Water again!

When we arrived, we were told that none of their boats could be used for tubing, and that we should have known this because the boats only have 115 hp. That's false -- 115 hp is plenty for tubing. This was the first of several lies, especially since tubing limitations were never mentioned anywhere on their website or in the rental agreement. When we asked about the missing anchor, we were told it was left off because "foreigners" steal them as souvenirs. That excuse was as offensive as it was absurd. On top of that: the speedometer was broken, there was no way to gauge depth, and the seat was ripped. We used the boat anyway since it was Labor Day weekend and there were no other rental options available, but it made for a miserable day on the water with a boat that fell far short of what was advertised. Staff were rude and refused to offer a working replacement. Bottom line: poor equipment, poor communication, and poor customer service. I'd look elsewhere.
