About
Devils Fork State Park is the only public access point to 7,565-acre Lake Jocassee, a clear mountain-spring-fed reservoir popular with scuba divers and trout anglers. It offers 59 standard campsites plus 25 tent camping sites (84 total), a separate boat-in-only campground, and 20 lakeside villas (neither counted in the total above). Hookup details are not published on the park's own page.
Fees
South Carolina State Parks does not publish a static per-night camping rate on this park's own page - its Itinio reservation system (reserve.southcarolinaparks.com) uses live, date-based dynamic pricing. Check the reservation link for current rates. Pets are allowed on a leash (or other physical restraint) throughout South Carolina State Parks, including campgrounds, per the agency's statewide rules - though pets are not permitted in or around lodging facilities (cabins/villas/lodge rooms). (southcarolinaparks.com/rules-regulations, confirmed live.)
