Reviews
"This park is amazing and huge. There is so much to do, a lot of trail options, you have the lake that is beautiful, and a little river. It is so peaceful. You can also see the horse trail and it is so wonderful, peaceful and magical"
"I always enjoy my time at Croft. There are so many trails and I still haven't explored them all. You do need to bear in mind that while you can hike them all, some also allow cyclists and horses. So if you're on a horse trail you may have to dodge their business. Just be mindful and it's not a big deal. The trails are gorgeous year round."
"The park has a lot of history and plenty of space to roam. Trails for bikes, hikes, and horses abound. Kayak and paddle board rentals are available. The views around the lake are gorgeous, adventurous around the creek. I stayed for 4 nights; both camping loops have water and power hookups, 20/30’s really serve me best and this park has them. The showers and bathrooms are clean and nicely functional; a warm shower is always a treat!"
"This is a long time favorite of mine. When I lived in SC I would camp here ALL the time, taking horses and dogs in tow. Now I visit every time I’m in the area. The trails are well marked and well maintained. Campsites are always in great shape and the bathhouse is usually clean. I love all the water access for horses and dogs to play in. If you’re lucky you’ll visit on a horse show weekend, they are always beautiful to watch!"
