Hester’s is about an hour from West Augusta/Columbia County between McCormick and Abbeville, SC.
Make it a working vacation with WiFi fiber services on the entire campground that sits on the 71,000 acre Strom Thurmond Lake (also known as Clarks Hill Lake).
There are more than 44 waterfront RV sites and waterfront primitive sites. Guests are invited to use the private boat launch, boat dock, fish from the banks and enjoy the private beach. Since new management took over in the Spring of 2021, continuous improvements have been added like two playgrounds with several fun activities for the kids.
Rent golf carts, kayaks, and paddleboards and purchase firewood and fishing supplies from the country store.

Or—slowdown and watch the sun set in the water.
