Some Campgrounds Re-opened on Hartwell Lake

An update to a story we ran yesterday regarding campsites and recreation areas on Hartwell Lake that are still closed.

According to Scott Kelley with the Hartwell Lake and Dam office, the Georgia River campground is now open. Kelley said crews were able to finish cleaning up and removing debris at the campground in the tailrace of the Savannah River late Tuesday.

Additionally, Kelley said Longpoint re-opened Wednesday afternoon, but five campsites at Springfield campground remain closed.

Kelley said Wednesday he hopes to have those sites ready and open by the weekend.
