Lakeside Bliss on Lake Marion
You’ll find this particular destination tucked away in one of the crevasses of Lake Marion, just off Rt. 6 and a stone’s throw from Indian Bluff Recreation Area, which is a gem to go hiking around and finding a nice spot to cast a line into the water for a slow day of fishing.
This campground is one part marina, one part multi-faceted campground escape. While they do have a handful of spots for RV’s and trailers, in addition to renting a handful of cabins directly on the lake, I was delighted to discover that the real find here is the small island that sits directly across from the marina, where there are endless tent camping options. I would consider the experience fairly primitive over on the island, as there isn’t any running water or electric to speak of, but a short little canoe ride and you’re back in civilization (er, the marina).
I would highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to get away from it all – and don’t mind being a bit secluded. If you have your own canoe or kayak, great, but if not, fret not, the marina will loan you one if you’re staying with them, and if you’d like anything else to rent (house boat, sail boat, innertubes, paddle boards, etc.) they have it at the boat house.
Happy Camping!

Location
Lakeside Marina & Resort is located in South Carolina
Directions
107 Cypress Shores Rd Eutawville, SC 29048 If you are arriving by car, we are conveniently located directly off of Interstate 95. Take the Santee Exit from I-95 (exit 98). The resort is just six miles from Santee. Follow Highway Six to Old Moncks Corner Road, take a left and follow the blacktop to the marina. If you are traveling by boat, a 6.5 diversion canal joins Lakes Marion and Moultrie. On the southeastern side of Lake Moultrie there is a lock system that allows access to the Cooper River all the way to Charleston. What most people don't know is that the Santee Cooper Lake System is accessible from the Inter-Coastal Waterway and was partially created to encourage inland navigation from Columbia to Charleston. From the point the Santee River feeds into Lake Marion, to the Pinopolis dam, there is a one hundred twenty two mile system of marked waterways through which boats can navigate almost halfway through the state.
