Flynn's Inn Camping Village
Located next to Hamilton Branch State Park and the Savannah River, this local favorite offers all that any individual, couple or family could want. From whitewater rafting, to kayaking, to golfing at the Midland Valley Golf Club, to swimming and fishing, Flynn's Inn proximity to such attractions makes this spot very popular. Locals warn that the spring season gets heavy rainfall and makes for moist camping--both in RVs and especially near the tent pads. While the temperatures in the summers can reach into the 90s, the warm breezes off the lakes and rivers help to temper the heat. Make sure to book early as both the RV sites and tenting areas fill up fast.
