For Weston Lake Recreation Area: The Army has a jewel here. Great layout with lots of room between sites. See “Moose’s” review below as I agree completely. Lake is fish able, caught a nice 1 1/2 lb largemouth my first day. Seem like there were a lot of biting bugs however, bug spray and citronella candles worked well. Watch for snakes, as you’re in their environment. Had a “black-tailed Eastern Rattlesnake visit our site one afternoon. Left it alone and it slithered back into the Forrest. We originally booked a three night stay and actually stayed two weeks. Perfect campground for true R & R. We certainly book again if we’re ever in the area again.

For Weston Lake Recreation Area: Stayed here June 2021 - dam is being repaired until 2023 and lake is unusable and not particularly scenic at the moment. Travel Camp is clean and quiet with level mostly concrete pads and full hook-ups with 50AMP. Exchange and Commissary 15 minutes away are both nice. Directions for arriving were an issue. MWR doesn’t provide them on their webpage or reservation confirmation email and couldn’t/wouldn’t tell us how to get here when contacted directly. As best we could figure, there is (currently at least) no way to get to Weston Lake Rec Area from on base Fort Jackson. The Gate 5 that other reviews mention has odd hours if it is actually ever open. We have a 38 foot motorhome towing and here’s what worked for us: I-77 to exit 9B, Leesburg Rd - then about 8 miles to a left on Weston Lake Rd - no typical military gate with a guard on this entrance

For Weston Lake Recreation Area: Access road desperately needs repaving. When checking in, do not pay attention to the “one way” signs to the office. You will end up driving your rig through some very tight turns on a horrible road to the office. Instead, take the “exit” road to the parking lot. Check in is laborious. If you have a National Park pass, take it with you to check in for a discount. Customer service is horrible. They only answer the phone when they feel like it. Our assiigned site, 20, had the 50 amp power receptacle installed upside down. Because of this I could not use my portable EMS, and my powercord was upside down after plugging in. I tried to call the office to report the issue, but they wouldn’t answer the phone, so I jumped into our towed and drove to the office. Walked in, and the phone was ringing, but the clerk was surfing on her smartphone paying no attention. I told her about our 50 amp issue, and she said she would text the maintenance manager to have it repaired, but no one ever came to our site to fix it. All said, cannot recommend Weston Lake famcamp. Too bad, because it is a beautiful area, but the negatives clearly outweigh any positives. We will never return.

For Weston Lake Recreation Area: I have stayed here several times on my way from Massachusetts to Florida. The rate was $22 with a small discount for National park senior pass. However they have jumped the rate to $35 night so I’ll be passing it up this year. It’s a fairly nice park with some concrete RV pads and many gravel sites. Compared to other fam camps I’ve stayed in it is not even close to being worth $35/night.

For Weston Lake Recreation Area: I just don’t know why they are so expensive when the camps around the area are half of what they asking for, Fort Jackson MWR is scamming soldiers and civ with this prices 1000 a month you are crazy.

For Weston Lake Recreation Area: Nice campground...will definitely visit again. Large camper pads with grills and tables. Lots of space between spots. The bathrooms were clean and no evidence of pet feces as mentioned on other review.
