We finally visited a South Carolina State Park! On our way south on I-95, we enjoyed a few days stay at Santee State Park, located in Santee, South Carolina. Santee State Park is located on Lake Marion. Lake Marion is known for its catfish, so naturally fishing is a big draw here. Also, you can find miles of hiking and biking trails. Finally, if you need a place to stay or you have your own camping unit/ equipment, you can rent one of the cabins there or reserve a campsite.
What we love about Santee State Park:
1. Peaceful
2. Miles of wooded trails and roads
3. Deer
4. Lake Marion, waterfront and waterview campsites
5. Close to Interstate 95
6. Reasonable price here!
7. Verizon works
What we didn't love about Santee State Park:
Lakeshore Campground is "rustic", including the entry road, the campground roads, and many of the campsites. Choose your site carefully. You may have to maneuver your rig on uneven ground, root mounds, around trees, and utilities. It is doable and there are sites there that can accommodate larger rigs. Also, there is only 30 amp service there.
If you have a larger rig, the Cypress View Campground is a better choice and it offers 50 amp service.
We camped at Lakeshore Campground in a 33' class A motorhome. We were able to back into our site and level, but we did have to maneuver a bit to due to trees. Doable and definitely worth a visit!
Heading south, to Savanah, Georgia, and Skidaway Island State Park.

Thank you this is very helpful. I always find it hard to pick a site at a location. I’ve never been. So to see what the sites look like before. Booking is really priceless. Happy travels.

Glad it was helpful! That's why we started sharing these videos. Often, we weren't really sure what the sites looked like. Many places just showed a little icon for the campsite. Happy travels to you, too! 😊👋

One of my favorite state parks in South Carolina Hunting Island state park. It is on the beach. Very pretty.

How much for site? Looks like as w national parks there are a lot of open sites. All sites should be 1st come 1st stay. What’s your opinion?

Campsite prices vary from $24 to $48, depending on the site, weekday, or holiday. You can visit the reservation website and click Calendar View to see the prices. reserve.southcarolinaparks.com/santee/camping/ There were a lot of empty sites, but that was during the week. We saw most sites tagged on Friday for the weekend campers. Our opinion on first-come campgrounds, we prefer reservations because after traveling for a few hours, we want to make sure that we have a place to camp. If we are heading to a first-come site, we try to get there as early as possible. It's stressful! 😬 Once we got the very last spot and it was early in the day! Happy camping to you! 😊👋
