ETC is Clemson's original, local & independent outfitter. We have been meeting the camping, hiking, kayaking and lifestyle apparel needs of the Upstate since 1995. In 2016, Elkmont Tap & Cellar opened adjacent to the retail space, featuring 16 taps of locally brewed craft beer, a fabulous selection of sustainable fine wines & mead and a variety of hand crafted appetizers, sandwiches and sides. ETC provides an outstanding retail & restaurant experience in a truly unique setting. The brick + mortar interior features reclaimed barnwood, beams and posts, all harvested locally. These reclaimed materials and hand-hewn craftsmanship nostalgically recall a time long forgotten. |
“When I moved to Clemson in 1997, after finishing a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, I was passionate about the fact that this community, based on its beautiful location and proximity to the mountains and lakes, deserved a better outfitter. Elkmont Trading Company is based upon that passion, along with the desire to preserve my family’s tradition and heritage. We’re a proud local business, and we’re delighted to invest in our community by providing the best retail experience possible.” -Lee Hill
