Stay, Play, and Savor the Foothills — Welcome to Carolina Camp Cedar at Pickens Golf Club
There is something special about mornings in the foothills of South Carolina. The air feels crisp, the mountain light glows soft through the trees, and the sound of a golf ball striking cleanly off the first tee echoes just right. It is peaceful, familiar, and yet full of possibility — and now, thanks to Carolina Camp Cedar, that feeling lasts long after your round is over.
Just steps away from Pickens Golf Club and Tavern 53, Carolina Camp Cedar brings a whole new layer of experience to one of the Upstate's favorite destinations. Whether you are pulling in with your RV, settling into a cabin, or planning a weekend getaway with friends, this new resort-style campground combines the comfort of modern amenities with the quiet charm of the Carolina outdoors.
Your New Home Base in the Foothills
Carolina Camp Cedar was designed for people who love both adventure and relaxation. The property features full hookup RV sites with plenty of space to spread out, as well as beautifully built cabins that give you that warm, woodsy feel without sacrificing comfort.
Each site offers easy access to walking trails, picnic areas, and community spaces where guests gather to swap stories, share a meal, or simply enjoy the view. You are surrounded by the beauty of Pickens County — rolling greens, forest lines, and a backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains that never really gets old.
Golf by Day, Gather by Night
For golf lovers, it does not get much better than waking up just minutes from the first tee at Pickens Golf Club. The course winds through peaceful fairways and gentle hills, offering a challenge that is as enjoyable for seasoned players as it is welcoming for newcomers.
After your round, the clubhouse calls — and so does Tavern 53, the on-site restaurant that has quickly become a local favorite. The menu is full of Southern-inspired comfort food and crowd-pleasing favorites like the 53 Smash Burger, Carolina Hot Chicken Sandwich, Shrimp and Grits, and BBQ Nachos. Pair it with a cold craft beer or a bourbon cocktail and settle into the rhythm of the 19th hole, where stories stretch as long as the fairways themselves.
