Memorial Day 2011
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 6/1/11
Found Orchard Lake by hitting the "Campground" button on the GPS while driving through Spartanburg.
We loved Orchard Lake Campground! After driving around upstate SC with my boyfriend and cocker spaniel, looking for a last minute campsite, Orchard Lake was where we ended up. They were extremely accommodating and let us take a beautiful spot on the lake with water and electric hook-up (a group had cancelled). Very pet friendly. Gus even went kayaking and swimming with us. This was a great facility with a lake, canoes, kayaks, a cow pasture, soccer/softball field, mini golf and more! There were many families that have been coming for years, and we know why. Very relaxing weekend with smores, burgers on the grill and lazy afternoons taking naps! Saluda, which is the closest town is beautiful. Go to the Saluda Market on Main Street and get fresh ground beef and pepper jack cheese for amazing burgers! Also, Green River BBQ was an awesome lunch spot! $1.50 beer and every southern side dish you could imagine! We had all these great ideas to go hiking/exploring and loved the campground so much we only left to get food.
Great spot for families and couples, young and old, tent or RV.
Thank you Orchard Lake! We will be back next year!
