Campground details
Setting
Modoc Campground sits on the pine- and hardwood-forested shoreline of J. Strom Thurmond Lake, a 70,000-acre reservoir five miles from the lake's visitor center and dam. Facilities include four bathhouses with flush toilets and showers, a dump station, a playground, a shaded hiking trail through the woods, and a boat ramp with a courtesy dock for water access. The lake supports boating, water skiing, kayaking, and fishing for bass, crappie, and catfish. Local wildlife includes whitetail deer, wild turkeys, and bald eagles, with several USACE day-use areas located within 10 miles.
