I want to pull up a boat and pitch a tent overnight at a small island located in a lake. Are these properties owned? In particular I want to camp on Lake Jocassee in South Carolina. I do not want to go to the Devils Fork Campground. I want to be on my own island.


Answer
All the islands located within the lake boundaries are owned by the Keowee-Toxaway project water company and are managed by the Devil's Fork State Park. The only boat in camping is listed at the north shore, the Double Springs boat-in camp sites. There are few islands on the lake and the state has deemed them as sensitive habitats for wildlife. You can contact devils fork for permits to camp but likely you will be turned down.

Good luck

Where can I go camping in North or South Carolina ?

We're planning to go tent camping in December and we're looking for somewhere that is near a stream, good fishing, secluded, wildlife, and good hiking (maybe some mountains).


Answer
Lake Leneir, SC or West Jefferson, NC (Raccoon Holler is a camp ground there in Glendale Springs)

If you go to West Jefferson, go to Benny's Christmas Tree Farm and get a super cool live tree for Christmas.
