Recreation

Collins Creek Seasonal Camp offers a rustic primitive camp setting ideal for exploring the surrounding acres of the Enoree Ranger District of the Sumter National Forest. Hunting, fishing, boating and hiking opportunities abound. The surrounding forest environment sustains abundant wildlife populations, making it one of the most desirable hunting areas in the state for big-game deer and turkey seasons. Collins Creek Seasonal Campground is centrally located and has thousands of acres surrounding where hunters can try their luck at bagging a deer or turkey during big game hunting seasons. Hunting and fishing in South Carolina is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. Visit www.dnr.sc.gov for more about the SCDNR. With the campground centrally located to the Broad, Enoree and Tyger Rivers it provides a great opportunity for boating, fishing or just splashing around to cool down. (Caution: Water levels fluctuate with the rainfall and rivers have a slight current. During late summer months the rivers become impassable. Checkout our forest website on boating information). Jews Harp Spring Trail offers an easy leisurely hike to an old spring site. The trail starts on the Maybinton Road, SR-45. From the campground users can access the trail by bushwacking through the woods to the Maybington Road or hiking the forest service gravel road out to the Maybinton Road. Outside of hunting season the campground is available for reservation as a whole for an individual, family or group.
