Lake Murray State Park

Lake Murray State Park is an amazing place for camping and relaxing in nature. The park is beautifully maintained, with clean campsites, scenic lake views, and a peaceful atmosphere that’s perfect for both families and couples. The campsites are spacious, well-organized, and many offer electric hookups and easy access to restrooms, which makes the experience very comfortable. The lake itself is stunning—great for walking, fishing, kayaking, and simply enjoying sunrise and sunset views. The surroundings give a perfect mix of forest and water vibes, making it feel like a true escape from city life. Staff were friendly and helpful, and everything felt safe and well-managed. Whether you’re tent camping, RV camping, or just spending a weekend outdoors, Lake Murray State Park is a fantastic choice. We had an unforgettable experience and will definitely be coming back! 🌲🏕️🌊

Great for a quiet fall trip. We stayed in the new Marietta landing RV Park. Full hookups, level spaces, and easy lake access. It's probably really busy in the summer but the fall is nice and quiet.

Camped at Buzzard Roost site 38 which was right on the water. Every camp site was taken and you are extremely close to your neighbors which is why I gave it 4 not 5 stars. Bathrooms were clean and accessible as well as water and a hot shower. Spent 2 nights with my young son and it was a great outing. Lots to explore in the park that we didn't get to see but did make it to the nature center and tower! Caught 2 small fish off the pier close to the park office. All the attendants working were nice and helpful.

I recently visited Lake Murray State Park, and it was such a wonderful experience! Having been to many state parks, I truly believe each one has its own unique charm — and Lake Murray is no exception. The park is incredibly well-maintained — everything feels clean, organized, and top-notch. The lake water is crystal clear and beautifully blue, almost like the ocean! The Marina Beach gives off a real ocean-vibe with its soft sand and relaxing atmosphere. The air feels so fresh, and it’s the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy nature. The lodge and play areas are fantastic, ideal for both families and solo travelers. Don’t miss the Tucker Tower — the view from the top is breathtaking! The Nature Center is another highlight; it’s informative, beautifully designed, and offers an amazing panoramic view of the lake. A fun little spot I loved was near the Marina Beach Store, where people were feeding the fish — such a simple but joyful experience. The park is huge, with so much to explore — perfect for hiking, picnics, boating, or just spending a peaceful day by the water. Overall, it’s a must-visit for anyone who enjoys nature, scenic beauty, and a clean, well-kept environment.

Went camping at Tipps point this weekend and absolutely loved it. We were nervous at first because of the group camping area was packed. We looked for our spot and were impressed with how far away we were from everyone else. Our view was absolutely incredible and very peaceful. Only thing we didn’t care for was there were only a few restroom/showers 30 people were stacked waiting every time we went. Put another set by the group campsites and problem solved. Would 100% be going back to this place.
