Your guide to Clemson

All About Clemson

Clemson sits in the western region of South Carolina against the impressive backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Driving through the city, you can see its transformation from small, Appalachian farming village to thriving college town as you pass centuries-old red brick farms and the grand university buildings across the city’s historic districts. Hear the roar from local football games on your way to one of the many historical and cultural sites in Clemson, like the Hanover House or the Old Stone Church, where you can learn about what life was like in Clemson during the 18th and 19th centuries. Admire the natural beauty of South Carolina in the Carolina Botanical Garden, which offers a 295-acre exhibition containing thousands of native plants, as well as an opportunity to explore ash and oak tree-lined trails or the massive 17,500-acre Clemson Experimental Forest.

In the summer, cool off from the southern heat by swimming or boating in nearby Lake Hartwell before heading into downtown Clemson to enjoy some delicious barbecue and watch the sunset over the rugged mountain skyline.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Clemson

Though Clemson is located in the South, its location near the Blue Ridge Mountains provides a true four-season year for the city. Winter is cool with cold nights, and spring is temperate and balmy. Summer into fall is warm and humid, and this is the most popular season to visit — especially once the academic year starts.

The most vibrant time to visit the city is during the spring and fall, and the events in town reflect that. In April, the Pendleton Spring Jubilee hosts hundreds of artists from all over the country selling their works while you can enjoy live music, local food vendors, and tours of historical sites. In May, the Artisphere Festival hosts over 100 artists who showcase their work alongside craft breweries and wineries. If you are a fan of college football, be sure to schedule your trip in November, when a college bowl takes over the city for a weekend.
