RV rental Chester State Park, SC: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

South Carolina’s state park RV campgrounds make a comfortable base camp for trying out a range of outdoor activities, and Chester State Park is no different. Hikers set out and enjoy the Caney Fork Falls Trail, a 1.3-mile-long hiking path that winds along the lakeshore from the boathouse, leading to a stone-littered spillway. Fishing enthusiasts will love the 160-acre lake in the park, ideal for freshwater fishing. Bass, crappie, bream, and catfish are known to abound in the lake but remember to get a South Carolina fishing license before you head out on your fishing adventure. There’s a fishing pier area near the boathouse for easy access to the lake and another pier near the campground that can be used for fishing. Fishing boats are available for rent. Non-motorized boats like kayaks, canoes, and paddleboats are permitted on the lake, and you have the option of renting them in case you haven’t brought your own. Life jackets and paddles are available for rent too if you forget to pack them into your rental RV. Nature lovers will enjoy bird watching at the park. The day-use area overlooking the lake is ideal for spotting a variety of birds. If you’re lucky, you’ll spot bald eagles, raptors and other bird species native to South Carolina’s Piedmont region. Kids can make use of the large playground, located along the shoreline. Picnic shelters are available for rent, so pack an easy picnic lunch and spend the day by the lake. Chester State Park is home to South Carolina’s very first tournament sanctioned disc golf course, so get ready to tee off at the 27-hole golf course. The course has three loops, suitable for professional level players, while beginners can try their hand at the 18-hole course.
