The campground itself is adequate if you are a permanent camper. It’s a large campground, but there are only five spaces reserved for “transient”(their word for short term) campers. The biggest asset of this campground is that it is at Lake Marion, so people looking to launch their boats have easy access. There is a marina and a store. I guess that there is live music and an outside bar on the weekends since it is set up for that, but I was there in the middle of the week. 

The campground itself is quiet. People seem to mull about minding their own business, and there weren’t any children around that I could see, although there was a playground. The campsite I was at was not entirely level and was bordered by a drainage ditch filled with water. Mosquitoes would have been a problem had I not had mosquito repellent. 

The bath house had hot showers, but it definitely needed updating. I’m guessing that most of the ones staying at the campground use their own RV bathrooms. 

Since Lake Marion is known for having record catfish, it goes without saying that at least one fisherman would have some big ones. I was allowed to take a photo, and I’ve got to say,  “They were huge!” If I ever come back to this region, I’m going to have to have a motor boat—not just my kayak. 

Overall, I’m a little disappointed in the campground. I know it probably seems better on the weekends, but my experience wasn’t all that great.
