    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Cabins at Santee Lakes KOA and Short Stay Navy Outdoor Recreation Area provide moderate comfort with basic furnishings and essential utilities. Most units include air conditioning, beds, small refrigerators, and microwaves. The lakefront cabins at Short Stay offer particularly good views and amenities. "The campsites aren't huge, but you can fish and the scenery is great with the sites right against the lake," noted one visitor about Short Stay. Bathroom facilities vary by location—some cabins contain private restrooms while others require guests to use communal bathhouse facilities located within the campground property.

    Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Short Stay Navy Recreation Area offers military-only access with cabin rentals that include basic kitchen equipment and furniture. "I have stayed here several times over the years. I've done primitive camping as well as staying in the cabins," one camper shared about Short Stay. Johnston Landing Campground & Cabins provides waterfront options with more rustic accommodations. Bell's Marina & Resort features newly renovated cabin facilities with lake access for fishing enthusiasts. Most locations require advance reservations, especially during summer months when waterfront properties fill quickly.

    Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen supplies typically include basic cookware and utensils, though provisions vary significantly between properties. On-site camp stores at locations like Short Stay and Santee Lakes KOA stock essential groceries, ice, and forgotten items. Bell's Marina includes an on-site restaurant with local specialties. A camper noted that "the restaurant at Bell's doesn't look like much, I did stop in for some biscuits and gravy and it was pretty delish." For extended stays, the nearest full-service grocery stores require a short drive, with the closest Food Lion approximately 10 minutes from Bell's Marina.

      Poinsett State Park Campground

      Luxury or backwoods & in between

      The pond is good for all ages, but don't expect to be dragging a big boat here. You can rent a canoe or a row boat or bring your own. There is some sediment in the pond, but it is still enjoyable.

      You can go all out camping with no extras or enjoy nature in a luxurious cabin. The big one had two bedroom which could sleep two in one & 3 or 4 in the other. Plus, there is an alcove with bunk beds & chairs & a couch to make a total of 11 or 12 easily. It is fully stocked included linens & towels. Cook in or out. There is even a fireplace & screened in porch

      And I haven't even touched on the trails. So much to do or relax & enjoy the peace.

      Campground at James Island County Park

      Mobile Camping Bliss w/ Tons of Amenities & Attractions

      Should you be driving an RV, hitched to a 5th Wheeler or hauling a trailer, whatever your mobile camping experience might be, there’s 116 campsite options to choose from here at James Island Co Park, which offers both pull-through & back-in sites (maximum 80 feet), which provide a great launching pad to explore more than 643 acres of pure outdoor bliss offering perhaps one of the most expansive list of amenities and attractions (see more below). Once you arrive here at this RV Campground from James Island Parkway, you’ll pass the Ranger Station and will circumnavigate the circle-like exterior of the park until you arrive to this very CG, turn right and check-in at the main office, which also serves as the CG marketplace.

      This RV Campground is basically the expanse of 2 lateral football fields with an east and west side, dissected on the east side by 3 simple short lanes and a restroom / shower / laundry facility located right in the middle. Over on the west side, there’s a single loop that isn’t dissected at all, but has a second, narrower loop on its northern flank, where hereto, a central restroom / shower / laundry facility has been plotted right in the middle of this circuitous loop.

      RV Campground Amenities include: FHUs with 20 / 30 / 50 amp electric, water & sewage, 24-hour staffing, activity center, super-clean, new bathhouses and restrooms, designated dump station, complimentary WiFi, campground marketplace, coin-operated laundr-O-mat, stand-up grills / BBQs, fire rings, picnic tables, propane-refueling station, trash / recyclable containers, cottages available to rent as well as ice + firewood for sale.

      Situated just north of where your RV is anchored is the Outdoor Zone featuring a 50 foot climbing wall, obstacle challenge course, 1K sq ft bouldering wall and slackline that will have you and your brood enjoying these backwoods in no time. West of this Outdoor Zone is an 18-hole disc golf course and back towards the center of the park is a Splash Zone Waterpark complete with (2) 200 foot waterslides, 500 foot long lazy river, leisure pool & rainforest play structure, kid’s playground as well as a boat house with kayak, pedal boat and canoe rentals along with direct access to a small lake, round-trip shuttle service (to the nearby Convention& Visitor Bureau, Folly Beach Pier of Folly Beach County Park), Spray Play Waterpark, K9 park, crabbing & fishing dock, 16K acres of freshwater lakes, Santee Stage for live music and events, 4 individual group shelters and countless picnic tables in addition to 5+ miles of paved paths offering hiking / biking bliss.

      Insider’s Tips? Here’s a few: (1) If you are one of those RV campers that come towing a Jeep behind them or have somehow managed to transport a golf cart with you and find that the slot you’ve been given doesn’t adequately provide enough space for everything including your RV (let alone the additional transport you’ve brought) have no fear, as there’s substantial, additional parking that exists right in front of the Group Camping area, just due north of where you are stationed; (2) I found it hard to believe that with over 100 sites there was only 2 restroom / shower facilities and every time we tried to use the showers, there was a waiting line – so given this, timing is EVERYTHING as normally everyone is heading to get their showers first thing in the morning – so I highly recommend you either get up SUPER early or simply change your shower schedule to mid-afternoon or early evening; (3) In the event that you wanna try something other than what you’ve been whipping up from the confines of your on-board mini-fridge or roto-molded Cordova cooler, then nearby there’s mediocre fast food options like Zaxby’s or Bojangles, but if you’re OK to drive a smidge further, there’s a great joint called Bohemian Bull that’s one part restaurant / one part outdoor tavern of which I highly recommend the fried green tomatoes and bar-b-cuban sandwich; (4) Should you need to stock up on any supplies while here, there is the county park store over in the RV Campground, but for anything more substantial, just about 5 minutes south of this CG you’ll find a Walmart Supercenter; and (5) IMHO the best slots in this RV exclusive campground are those on the perimeter with the best sites being the ones without anything behind them, specifically on the NW periphery with sites #46 - 55; along the westernmost side with sites #20, #21, #23, #24 and #26.

      Happy Camping!

      Cypress View Campground — Santee State Park

      Cypress View Campground

      This is one of the two campgrounds at Santee State Park, and it is as different from the other as night and day. Unlike the dirt roads at Lakeshore Campground(the other campground in the park) the roads in Cypress View are paved. The sites are gravel, and many of them are pull-through sites. Although tent camping is allowed in Cypress View, I would feel out of place since most of the campers are RVs. However, our teardrop camper fits right in. Cypress View is a much smaller campground than Lakeshore Campground, but the amenities are the same. Every campsite is a short walk from the lake, and the campground is closer to the store than Lakeshore Campground. Unlike Lakeshore Campground, Cypress View Campground’s sites are much closer together, so there is not as much privacy. The campground is quiet, other than the noise from the highway.   That may be one reason to be in an RV or a travel trailer--to cut out some of the noise at night.

      Close to the campground, there is a tennis court, a boat launch, Fisheagle Tours, a picnic shelter, kayak rentals, hiking trails, and more. It is conveniently located to most of the state park’s attractions without having to drive so far. Cypress View Campground is also close to the main office and the boat dock. 

      If you had rather stay in a cabin, there are cabin rentals on the water. They are accessed by way of a boardwalk across the water. The bath house is modern and has hot showers. It is centrally located so that it isn’t that far of a walk from any of the campsites. 

      Overall, I do recommend this campground, especially if you are in a travel trailer or an RV. If you are tent camper, you would probably better enjoy being at the other campground in the park.

      Cypress View Campground — Santee State Park

      Big campground on the lake

      We camped here over the weekend with the pups. The state park has 2 different campgrounds. We decided for the Lakeshore one. It's pretty big with over 100 campsites. They have the usual amenities like fire pit, and picnic table with bench. Our was private, but the sites in the middle are not. The bathhouse was very clean with nice hot showers. The park has several trails, a visitor center, cabins on the water, at least 2 boat ramps with a bait shop. There are no trash cans near the campsites, there is one big dumpster at the entrance of the campground. It's about 1.30h to Folly Beach. We would definitely camp here again.

      FamCamp Joint Base Charleston S.C

      Nice place a smidge confusing

      There are actually TWO bases here - the air base and the weapons station. We stayed at the air base but also visited the weapons station for some recreation. 

      Air base: close to downtown Charleston; great price for the amenities provided ($45 per night for full hookups - electric, water, and sewer); power/water pedestal was nice; shower and laundry facilities on site; all sites fairly level and mostly shady; playground, sand volleyball, golf, and indoor climbing wall within walking distance; beautiful trees, etc. All the normal base amenities, including bowling alley (check out galactic bowling if you have kids). 

      Staff was helpful. Camp host was… vigilant, but not super considerate with his leaf blowing pollen plumes around breakfasters. 

      Did not have pool. Fine. 

      DOES NOT HAVE FIRE RINGS. Or a grill. That was a disappointment. You can BRING a fire ring. But of course no open burning.

      Also, the sites are a smidge close together. But not overly so. Ask for a perimeter site and not a middle pull through if you're looking for a little extra green space between. (Not sure if they'll honor that or not.)

      The weapons station also has an RV park. (Forgot to look and see if they have fire rings.) If you are a trail runner or hiker or similar, this is the one you want to go to. There's an excellent trail system right off the RV park. The air base did not. They have plenty of sidewalks to run but no trails. However, if you're there to see Charleston, you want to stay at the air base. The weapons station is further away from downtown. 

      As other reviewers have said, these options are both on military bases and require an ID to access.

      Harry's Fish Camp

      A True South Carolina Fish Camp Experience

      If you're looking for a rustic RV depot on the water's edge with limited amenities, but an absolutely pristine view of Lake Marion, Harry's Fish Camp is a great spot, as long as your expectations are managed, as this is more of an outdoor fishing paradise than it is a polished RV resort. So if your idea of the perfect camping trip starts with launching the boat before sunrise, spending the day chasing trophy catfish and striped bass on the legendary Lake Marion and returning to camp for a fresh seafood dinner overlooking the water, you'll feel right at home. Tucked away in the quiet community of Pineville, Harry's is one of those classic Santee Cooper fish camps that has earned its reputation through generations of anglers rather than flashy marketing. The atmosphere is relaxed, authentic and refreshingly unpretentious.

      The campground caters to both RV campers and anglers, offering full-hookup RV sites, bathhouse facilities, showers, laundry, a dump station and pet-friendly accommodations. The real stars, however, are the waterfront amenities: two boat ramps, four fishing piers, a fish-cleaning station with running water and electricity, a well-stocked tackle shop and convenient boat storage. There's also a sandy swimming beach nearby with a designated swimming area for families looking to cool off after a day on the water. While the campground isn't luxurious, it delivers exactly what its guests come for: easy access to some of the best freshwater fishing in the Southeast.

      Harry's location places you in the heart of the famed Santee Cooper lake system, encompassing more than 170,000 acres of world-class fishing and boating opportunities. Whether you're targeting largemouth bass, catfish, crappie or striped bass, you're launching directly into one of the country's premier freshwater fisheries. Birdwatchers and paddlers will also appreciate the surrounding cypress swamps and quiet backwaters. If you need supplies, Billy's General Store is just a short drive away for fuel, groceries and last-minute essentials, while Harry's own restaurant is well known locally for its fried catfish and traditional Southern cooking.

      Insider's tips? Here's a handful: (1) Arrive early if you're planning to launch a boat during peak fishing weekends as this place turns into a 'traffic jam' on the water from 8am onwards; (2) If available, request one of the waterfront campsites for easy access to the marina and beautiful sunrise views; (3) Bring plenty of bug spray during the warmer months as mosquitoes can be incredibly active around the marshes; (4) Don't leave without trying the fried catfish dinner at Harry's restaurant ... trust me, it's part of the whole experience while staying here; (5) If you're bringing your own boat, take advantage of the on-site fish-cleaning station before heading home; and (6) If you're visiting for several days, consider hiring one of the area's experienced fishing guides to learn the seasonal patterns of the Santee Cooper lakes.

      Happy Camping!

      Campground at James Island County Park

      Awesome Place to RV Camp

      We found this campground well maintained and quiet. The bath house was recently remodeled and now has air conditioning. I found it to be one of the nicest bath facilities we have ever used. The campsites have full RV hook-ups and come with a picnic table and fire ring. The park does allow pets and has a dog park with a beach; it seems like the pups were having a marvelous time playing chase on the beach.This is a County Park with trails for walking or leisure biking. A new water park is under construction and should open this summer. The camp store is well stocked and the staff was very friendly and helpful. One downside was the WIFI (one of the perks at this place) did not work the entire 5 days we were there. I need to work remotely so this was a BIG problem. I had to go to the Starbucks to work...bummer! Positives were the easy drive and parking at nearby Folly Beach during the week, and the close proximity to Historic Charleston.

      Poinsett State Park Campground

      Nice state park

      We tent camped for the weekend in mid October. The park was probably 80% full, but didn’t seem crowded. All the spaces were spread out and the sites were level. We stayed at site 30, so it was a close walk to the bathhouse, with plenty of space, picnic table, and fire ring. The bathhouse was in fair condition, but the hot water was limited. The mens bathroom definitely needed to be cleaned. There were lots of trails, a pond, and a park for thing to do. T-mobile service barely worked. Check out our review https://youtu.be/pL1zgad0rN0

    Guide to Bonneau

    Cabin camping near Bonneau, South Carolina provides visitors direct access to Lake Moultrie and Lake Marion, two connected reservoirs covering over 170,000 acres of water. The region maintains a subtropical climate with mild winters and hot, humid summers where temperatures frequently exceed 90°F from June through August. Overnight accommodations range from rustic single-room structures to deluxe units with kitchenettes and private bathrooms.

    What to do

    Fishing opportunities: Short Stay Navy Outdoor Recreation Area offers excellent fishing access for military personnel and their families. "Very quiet and secure great fishing and beautiful sunsets," reports Alan M. The campground's location on Lake Moultrie provides strategic access for anglers.

    Wildlife viewing: Take early morning walks to spot native species at Francis Marion National Forest. "Nature is abundant, both flaura and fauna. So bug spray is recommended to the unfortunate of us that are preyed upon by mosquitoes and the like," advises Caleb. Visitors frequently spot deer, armadillos, and various bird species.

    Water recreation: At Santee Lakes KOA, guests can enjoy multiple water activities beyond fishing. "Lake is beautiful, and even had wooden chairs for use. Store was stocked well, and had a pizzeria inside," notes Ryan D. The camp offers swimming areas, kayak rentals, and designated boat launches.

    What campers like

    Restaurant convenience: Bells Marina & Resort offers on-site dining that many visitors appreciate after a day outdoors. "I loved the community barbecue and pizza oven, and the giant Ring of Fire with the spectacular water fountain in the middle was a great place to socialize and meet new friends," writes Francisco W., highlighting social gathering spaces.

    Clean facilities: At Mount Pleasant-Charleston KOA, cleanliness stands out to guests. "Very clean, beautiful park. Staff was great and friendly also," reports a recent visitor. The campground maintains well-serviced bathhouses and common areas, with regular cleaning schedules.

    Delivery services: Several campgrounds offer convenience services not mentioned in standard descriptions. "They deliver firewood and pizza. The pizza was excellent. Customer service is outstanding!" writes stefny A. about Santee Lakes KOA. This eliminates the need to leave your site for basic supplies.

    What you should know

    Military restrictions: Short Stay Navy Outdoor Recreation Area requires military credentials. "Heads up you must be military to stay here," notes Jenny. Active duty, retired military personnel, and qualified DOD employees receive access to these facilities.

    Noise considerations: Urban-adjacent camping may include unexpected noise sources. At Charleston KOA, "There is a lot of noise from the highway, airplanes (which my son and husband love) and workers getting up early (5:30am) to go to job sites," reports Ashley S.

    Seasonal differences: Cabin availability varies significantly by season. "During the night it is much quieter. The people we met, both staff and fellow campers are all very friendly," notes Margie D. about reduced night noise levels at Charleston KOA, showing how timing affects experience.

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: Cypress View Campground provides dedicated play areas for children. "We really enjoyed this park! There was boat access, a playground, nature trails and everyone was so friendly!" shares Jessie N. This offers supervised recreation options for younger visitors.

    Wildlife concerns: Family campers should note potential wildlife encounters. "We love camping at Short Stay. The only downfall is the geese. They leave a mess everywhere," Jessica S. mentions, pointing out nuisance wildlife issues families should anticipate.

    Swimming options: Some locations offer swimming beaches suitable for children. "Short-stay is a beautiful camp right on Lake Moultrie a short distance from Charleston, SC. They have descent wifi and a pretty well stocked camp store, but the main attraction is huge Lake Moultrie. Great for fishing, swimming, camping, RV, and much more. There is a swimming beach," explains Thom C.

    Tips from RVers

    Site leveling: RV campers should know not all sites are naturally level. "Sites were tight for a rig that big but we made it work. Our site was level, others were definitely not," notes Molly F. about Santee Lakes KOA, emphasizing the importance of leveling equipment.

    Check-in assistance: Several campgrounds provide escort service to help with site navigation. "They have a check in station at the gate so you don't even have to get out of your vehicle. Then they have people on golf carts take you to your site which is great! No need to drive around and find your spot," explains stefny A., describing the streamlined arrival process.

    Access limitations: For larger rigs, advance research prevents access issues. "It was very narrow with and over grown tree on each side of the entrance to it. Luckily I keep a machete in my truck. I spent 5 minutes trimming the trees just so I could try to squeeze into the site," shares bart at Charleston KOA, highlighting potential clearance challenges.
