Camp Long Lake Dam, located in Aiken, South Carolina, is a state-owned earth dam completed in 1945 for recreational purposes. Standing at 27 feet tall and stretching 260 feet in length, the dam impounds Big Branch, creating a surface area of 30 acres and a maximum storage capacity of 134 acre-feet. Despite being categorized as having a high hazard potential, the dam is currently in fair condition and is regularly inspected by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control.

The controlled spillway design of Camp Long Lake Dam ensures proper water management in the event of excess runoff, although no outlet gates or associated structures are present. While the dam's emergency action plan status is unclear, its risk assessment indicates a very high level of risk, necessitating close monitoring and potential risk management measures. With its location in a picturesque natural setting, the dam serves as both a recreational site and a critical water resource for the surrounding area, highlighting the importance of maintaining its structural integrity and safety standards for the community and environment.
