Carolina Landing is a part of the Thousand Trails preserve system, but this preserve does not live up to the “America’s Finest Campground Getaways” advertised. On arrival the entrance is nicely landscaped and very attractive but beyond the gate many of the roads and campsites are deteriorating. The 50 amp sites are mostly asphalt paved and stair stepped up a hillside. They are completely unlevel, fore and aft and especially across the sites leaving most all coaches with wheels hanging in the air or supported on numerous boards. There is not much level area left between coaches and no space for picnic tables. On the plus side however, the electricity is very good with 120volts, high water pressure (use a pressure regulator), and good sewers. The Verizon cell phone and air cards work well and many sites are satellite friendly. Although TTN members stay free of charge, there is an extra $3 per day charge for the 50amp service. The two pools and laundry are fairly good and the family lodge is nice except for a musty odor. We toured the nearby Clemson University and BMW plant while here, both very nice. We felt that the budget for this preserve probably does not allow for sufficient maintenance. Regrading the sites and repaving the roads will be a major challenge and expense but is necessary if this preserve is to come up to the standards established by Thousand Trails. We will not go out of our way to stop here in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Wow - this campground has seen better days and needs to have a lot of upkeep done on it. The roads are filled with pot holes and areas are washed away. Some spots were impossible to get into. The petting zoo for the kids is still on the map and it is no longer there. The pool was nice along with the one playground and the putt putt was cute. We won't be going back. We camped over Memorial Day - usually a very busy weekend and we had our whole section virtually to ourselves. Also - we did not pay to camp here - it is included in our 1000 Trails membership. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nightly rate was for 50amp service. Main sites are notched into a hillside. Many folks had a hard time leveling their RV's. Sites need to be repaved. Tennis court was in bad shape. Grounds needed work and some better plantings. There was barely enough room outside our fiver for two lawn chairs. The sign coming into the preserve said 1000 Trails/NACO. Staff was friendly. Not really a place I would come back to. TLC and money would dramatically change this place. Lake Hartwell is down quite a bit due to drought over last few years. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
