Jones Gap State Park Campground - Marietta SC Camping

Preview: This state park and the adjacent Caesars Head State Park are operated as low-impact wilderness parks. This means they are not designed like traditional parks with big drive-up campgrounds, parking lots, and heavy usage areas. Rather, the park facilities are integrated into an exceptional mountain landscape, leaving the emphasis on the natural, where foot trails lead along crystalline streams crashing over mossy boulders beneath cathedral-like forests, where rock faces offer sweeping vistas, and where spring wildflowers peek through leaves that colored the landscape the previous fall. For tent campers “low impact” also means carrying your stuff to rustic walk-in tent campsites, and treading lightly on the land. It means packing your trash not only from your campsite but also from the entire park. It also means giving in to the spell the park lays on you, so that no matter what time of year you visit, it will make you want to return for more hiking through the Mountain Bridge Wilderness and taking in the sights
