Our Take

What makes CHERRY HILL CAMPGROUND special

Deep in the forested uplands of Mountain Rest, South Carolina, Cherry Hill Campground places you within easy reach of the legendary Chattooga Wild and Scenic River, one of the Southeast's most celebrated whitewater and wilderness corridors. The campground is shaded by a thick canopy of hardwoods and hemlocks that keep sites cool and private, while well-maintained facilities including flush toilets add a welcome layer of comfort to the backcountry experience. From camp, hiking trails fan out through the Sumter National Forest, leading to waterfalls, swimming holes, and ridgeline overlooks with views stretching into the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Chattooga River itself offers everything from peaceful wade fishing and calm-water kayaking in its upper reaches to adrenaline-pumping Class III and IV rapids downstream. Spring brings rhododendron blooms and rushing water from mountain rains, summer offers long warm days perfect for river play, and autumn cloaks the forest in rich shades of crimson and gold. Winter visitors enjoy solitude and crisp air along quiet trails. Cherry Hill Campground is an excellent base camp for whitewater paddlers, trail hikers who crave Appalachian scenery, anglers pursuing wild trout, and families looking for a campground that balances rustic forest character with reliable modern amenities.
