Longleaf Campground

Longleaf Campground is a primitive, walk-in tent-only campground within Congaree National Park offering 10 individual sites ($15/night) and 4 group sites ($25/night), each with fire rings and picnic tables.

The campground provides direct access to 27 miles of hiking trails and is located 5-10 minutes by car from two canoe and kayak launch points for paddling Cedar Creek through old-growth bottomland hardwood forest.

Amenities include vault toilets at the parking area and potable water available 24/7 at the nearby Harry Hampton Visitor Center, though the campground itself has no running water or electrical hookups.
