Cassidy Bridge Primitive Camp

Cassidy Bridge Primitive Camp is situated in the Andrew Pickens Ranger District in Oconee County, in the western corner of South Carolina. The camp sits on the Chauga River, with the Chattooga River a short drive away. Popular activities include hunting, hiking, horseback riding, fishing, whitewater rafting and sightseeing. Big-game and turkey hunting are very popular in the area, and the camp is a favorite of groups who enjoy hiking, whitewater rafting and fishing. The campground is open to all during big game season (October 1 through December 31) and turkey season (April 1 through 30); during the rest of the year it is available to groups. Amenities include a pit toilet and RV parking. Campers should remember to lock the gate after driving through — please do not leave it unlocked. The camp is located in a wooded area on the banks of the Chauga River in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, part of the Francis Marion and Sumter National Forests. More than 629,000 acres are encompassed in four districts throughout South Carolina, from the lowcountry Atlantic Coast to the western foothills along the Georgia border. The Chattooga River and commercial river outfitters are within a 15-minute drive.
