About Calhoun Falls State Park
What sets Calhoun Falls State Park Campground apart is its tranquil lakeside setting on the undeveloped shores of Lake Russell, offering campers stunning sunrise views, ample shade from tall pines, and convenient lakeside access for water activities. With 86 mixed-use campsites featuring water and electric hookups—many perched directly on the water's edge—this campground invites fishing, kayaking, and peaceful relaxation. The addition of 14 rustic tent sites and group camping options ensures a variety of experiences tailored to different preferences.

Just a short drive away, visitors can explore the historic charm of Abbeville, known for sites like the Burt-Stark Mansion and the Abbeville Opera House.
