South Carolina
A three-minute drive from the visitor center, along the entrance road to Congaree National Park, this leafy but sometimes-crowded campground offers 14 sites and provides a couple of toilets, picnic tables and fire rings, but no running water (which is available at the visitor center 24 hours a day).
Reservations must be made in advance online or by phone.
