With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Clemson, 17 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights starting with Memorial Stadium, Littlejohn Coliseum and South Carolina Botanical Gardens. Cleveland is another popular option. It’s 17 miles away and home to an array of intriguing things to do. Table Rock State Park, Fred W. Symmes Chapel and Caesars Head State Park are only the start.
