Paris Mountain State Park

We came to the Greenville area to visit my sister and niece for a few days on our way from Florida to Pigeon Forge. We like to stay in state parks whenever possible. Our site was not perfectly level, but was not to bad to level out with a few blocks under the tires. We have a 40' toy hauler and there was plenty of room for the truck and trailer in the site. There are a lot of smaller sites in the campground, and plenty of tent only sites, and it did get busy Friday to Sunday, but overall it was a wonderful place to stay for a few days. The road from the entrance to the campground is tight and curvy, but by taking it slow, and letting any cars coming towards us pass before the tight areas, we had no trouble getting into the camping area or when we left on Monday to head out. We did not use the lake, but did take a few rides around on our golf cart. The rest rooms are older, but this is to be expected for an older park, but they were kept very clean during our visit. The camp hosts were very knowledgeable and friendly.

We loved our stay at this campground. It was one that once we got settled we wished we were staying longer! The road through the park back to the campground is pretty narrow at some points - we don't know how we would have managed if we had met another RV! We have a 31' Class A and we managed fine, but I did hear some people with larger trailers having a harder time. We were in Site 31 and were able to get level with no issues. The park has a lot of trails and scenery and is a great place for riding a bike. All in all, pretty campground that is super peaceful! The staff were all very helpful and the bathrooms were clean too. I would definitely return to this great spot!

The biggest thing this park has going for it is the location. Sites are set back from the road and there's a pretty lake at the park. Small number of sites and quality is really mixed, plus the entry is very narrow and windy. Not a spot for big rigs.

Staff and hosts weren't super helpful, and there seemed to be a lot of mix ups on site reservations vs. walk up availability while we were there.

This was a nice state park campground. I will echo others that these are not level sites. I was only car camping in a Fit, so I afound semi-level spot on 17 right up against the rear of the site. Very quiet and dark campground. Only light came from others rigs or when the lights flipped on in the bathhouses when in use. Very nice camp hosts as well.

Men's side of the bathhouse was two toilets, two sinks, and two 3/4 doored shower stalls, all very clean. No soap or paper towels at sinks, so make sure to bring your own.

You will want to arrive your first day prior to 6pm. You will want to talk to the hosts and get the main entrance gate code. The main gate is closed and locked at 6p. Kind of neat knowing that only you and the other camp guests are the only ones in the park.

I would return. Thinking about Christmastime.

Paris Mountain was a base to further explore Greenville, which was a short drive away. The campground was in the back of the park on a winding and somewhat narrow road. We were misinformed when we pulled in. We were initially told at the gate to get with the camp host to get our pass, but they were not in at the time. Later that night, around 9pm, the ranger knocked on our door and was kind enough to issue our pass.

The site were large and offered 20A/30A service and water. The dump station was awkward and pitched the opposite way of the drain outlet, so only about 1/2 of my tanks drained.

The park facilities were dated, but clean. The camper sites were easy in and out. We had a pull through that was really convenient. There was a nice playground that my 3 year old enjoyed. They offered canoe rentals on the weekend.

Downtown Greenville is building up, but still offers unique sights like the Liberty Bridge at Falls Park. In the opposite direction from Greenville, Poinsett Bridge was a cool find on the way to check out Traveler's Rest.

Let me start by saying if you have a rig over 25-27 feet, I really wouldn't recommend this campground - the road down to the it is pretty tight and windy and the sites just aren't mean for big rigs.

We'd stay here again, but we weren't wow'd by the park and wouldn't go out of our way to come back. It's an older CCC park with a pretty lake, and a small wooded campground. Most sites have some leveling or sloping issues. All in all an okay place to stay if you want to be in the Greenville area, but nothing spectacular.

We stayed at Paris Mountain State Park while passing through the area. We have family in Greenville so this was an excellent location for us. The majority of the sites are not level, and some are in need of desperate repair but sites 36-38 are definitely the most level. The bathhouse was clean and simple, water was hot so I was happy. We didn't test the Wifi but did have 4 bars of 4G Verizon. Partial hookups only at this park with a dump-station on the way out. This is an older park set on a small mountain so the roads are windy with some sharp turns, make sure to honk your horn as you round the corners as they are completely blind and folks in cars tend to go a bit fast.

The park has some easy hiking trails and there is a small Lake for swimming and boating in season. Check-in was a piece of cake, we called directly to book a site.

Downtown Greenville is only a short drive away with great food, shopping, and parks to keep your belly full, wallets empty and family entertained.
