I live close to Shelby. It's about 2 hours drive to Wateree. Thanks!

Wateree Lake Campground by Beaver Creek is the name of the place. A friend of mine's parents have a place on Beaver Ck. We would get our bait and grub there. Nice clean place from what I remember.

Where on Murray? That sounds too good to be true.

Saluda River Resort for one. I'm going to omit the name of the 2nd place, because they only have 1 spot open and I'm seriously considering renting it. The rates are current, they were quoted at the first of this month. I have a friend who has had a spot at the Saluda River Resort for many years. According to him, his rate is $125/month.

A group of us stayed at Salude River resort back when I was working. It is waaaaaay up the river from the lake, but some good fishing there.

It's not all that far upriver, besides, I like it up there!

We liked it as well. Not much boat traffic to worry about. When you got a slow boat it takes a while to reach mid lake, but we mostly fished in the river and back waters.
