    In the High Hills of Santee, where the South Carolina Sandhills of the Midlands region meet the coastal plain region, you’ll find Poinsett State Park. Called the "mountains of the midlands," this mixed ecosystem yields a high degree of biodiversity and some of the most unique natural sightings in the park system, especially along the Palmetto trail which winds through the Manchester State Forest.

    The High Hills of Santee are dotted with the hiking and biking trails that wind through the park–some of which connect to the Palmetto Trail that leads hikers through the Manchester State Forest. Poinsett’s 10-acre lake makes for a serene setting, and can be used for fishing and johnboat rentals. The park also offers campsites, a fishing pond, a coquina bathhouse built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, pre-revolutionary grist mill ruins and rustic cabins.

        Very Clean and close to town

        Overall it was a pleasant no frills heavy on the rules stay. The resort is the cleanest property we have ever stayed at. The restrooms/shower facilities (free)are beyond first class. If you are looking for a fire pit- look elsewhere. If you are looking for quiet- look elsewhere. The train traffic is constant and loud. If you are looking for quite don't camp here on Monday. Landscapers are here from 8(more like 730) to 5. World longest blow and go. Very difficult to hold a conversation at your site and it is even worse when the train passes. The office staff was pleasant but distant boarding on unfriendly. The town of Lake City was deep in history with several cool shops and restaurants.

        Popular with the locals.

        We made our way here just before Hurricane Milton hit Florida and stayed a week right next to the river. Very busy during the day with local fishermen. There's a lot of garage spread out, we cleaned up our area the best we could. Close to a busy highway but it didn't bother us. The river is gorgeous and we spent a good amount of our time here kayaking.

        Great, except for the TRAINS!

        The.grounds are immaculate, the showers and laundry (Free) are well maintained and the dog park has a water fountain for the dogs. It's within walking distance to the various  restaurants in town .

        A great park...except for the trains.  The rails are within one block of the campground and the trains run frequently, day and night and are use their horns A LOT.

        If you are a sound sleeper and have a really loud AC in your rig, enjoy the place, otherwise, make it a short stay.

        What a wonderful recreation base. Where there is everything for a comfortable stay. I rested and gained strength. We traveled with a group. Just what is needed for students.Because there were too many of them in the cage, and it was good that phd proposal writing services always helped with it.  We finally got a break from studying and writing.  It really helps a lot. A few more words about this place. It is beautiful.

        Hello, I was just choosing which next trip to plan. I am a student and I really like to spend my holidays traveling.  It's good that there are site ghostwriting essay that can help with this. Because during my studies, I get very tired from the workload, especially I don't like the number of essays. Whether you're looking to unwind by the water, explore nearby attractions, or enjoy a range of on-site facilities, Hideaway RV Resort caters to all your needs for a memorable stay.

        Dillon Bass Lake

        Much more than expected

        Bass Lake was at the right place for an overnight right off of I-95. Although right next to I-95, the drone of the traffic fades into the background once you pull into the well landscaped campground (Bass Lake as the setting of a wooden campground) with absolutely level sites. Staff and owner were wonderful - and what I learned about coffee from the owner (Frizzy's Coffee House) is why I'm going to route every trip possible through Dillon in the future - more knowledgeable than any barista I've ever met, I experienced what coffee ROASTED the day before tastes like!

        Secluded Gem

        This was a nice spot with flat, river front dispersed sites for tents or boondocking. It was easy to discern the campsites and had an open parking lot. There were a few sites that are not safe to drive to because of very loose sand. It is safer to park and explore on foot before driving up to those sites.

        We really enjoy this little state park. It’s small, quiet, and clean. We use it all the time to “test” new camping gear and setups before we travel further from home on longer trips.

        Great campground if in town for a reason, not a camping destination.

        Stayed for a week during ArtFields Competition. There is nothing about the campground that needs changed. Full hook-up, great wifi, clean like new bathrooms and free laundry. Trash is picked up every morning at the site. Gated grounds that is well maintained. There are some long term residents but everyone is quiet and polite. The train is quite loud, and the town is small and doesn't have a lot to do so it's the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. If your in town for a reason,  then it's the perfect place...but just not a camping destination.

        Great camp site!

        We stayed here for our son’s first birthday, in campsite 30! It was beautiful and we felt like we had plenty of privacy. Our site had a trail attached to the back of it which was really nice for hiking and it was perfect distance from the bathroom! On the topic of the bathroom, the toilets were CLEAN! And I mean we were there for 24 hours and the bathroom was cleaned at least twice. Really nice, they might look a little scary on the outside though but don’t mind that any bit.

        For people that love hammocks, site 29 (right next to ours) has a bunch of perfect hammock trees. If we go again we will try to stay in that spot! Great place to stay.

        Great for a pull through spot right off I-95 while traveling! Campground is beautiful and clean, with a pond, park, large laundry room, and easy access dump station. Staff was very friendly and got me a spot right away for a good price. There are spots for every size camper. Only downside is it gets a bit messy/ muddy if it’s raining.

        Super friendly staff, great location, waterfront camping and I can bring my boat. We had a great time. The problem is all the annual residents don’t follow their own rules. No one is supposed to drive trough the campsites, people were driving trough and walking through our campsite at all hours.

        New Campground, convenient location

        My family and I travel to Bennettsville, SC frequently and we usually mooch dock with family. In the past, there haven't been any campgrounds close to the area. Recently, we stumbled upon LumberJack RV on our last visit, desperately needing a place to empty the tanks and the owner made us feel very welcome. The RV Park is nice, and the staff are awesome. In today's world it's not often that you come across great customer service. If you are just traveling through and need an overnight stay or looking for a nice quiet RV park in small town America, don't hesitate to visit LumberJack RV Park.

        Florence RV Park

        Drive-By RV Parking Lot Community

        This spot is so close to I95 (look for exit 169) that you’ll both feel and hear the swoosh of passing by traffic 24/7. So, while you’ll incur ease and convenience, that will come at a cost (privacy and quietude being what you will sacrifice most).  Located in the NE pocket of the Palmetto State, Florence RV Park, while not a destination per se, could be a nice (and incredibly easy) layover on your trip destination to anywhere else up or down this major east coast highway artery.

        Despite the location, this spot has a lot to offer: an intimate little public pool behind the management office, WiFi hotspots, dog park, scattered picnic tables (in pretty good condition), kid’s playground, 20 / 30 / 50 amp hook-ups, dump station, dog walk area, catch & release fishing pond, propane refueling station, vending machines, small pond for fishing, basketball court, volleyball, badminton and horseshoe rings. There’s even 4-5 log cabins for rent at the front of the property (with full access to all the highway noise) and of course, good old fashioned on-site laundry facilities along with a mini-store that has most of the basics covered as well as fairly spartan shower / bathing facilities. 

        Insider’s tip? Here's a few: (1) The further east you are on the property, all the better as you’ll be positioned as far away from I95 traffic and noise; (2) If tent camping, I highly recommend spots #A7 – A13 and if you are RV’ing I recommend #L9 – L18 as well as any of the locations on J, K and F11 – F16; (3) There’s a lot to explore near here, from the Grand Strand of South Carolina, of course, Myrtle Beach and even Darlington Raceway, so if you don’t mind the overpopulated location with its westerly view of non-stop traffic, then this could be a good place to stop for the night or from which to launch your exploration of the area; (4) If you’ve looked at this RV campground’s website, don’t be fooled by the pictures – I don’t think any of them were actually taken of the place, save for the pond, and that was a close-up; and (5) If you are looking for a nearby spot to sample the local fare, I recommend checking out The Drive-In Restaurant with its 50s era nostalgia, big juicy burgers, fried everything, homemade onion rings and thick, creamy chocolate shakes.

        Happy Camping!

        RV's Acres (he's the dog)

        A little off the beaten path, but well worth the effort.

        Several 30amp sites with on-site water & plenty of space for more dispersed type off-grid camping.  I've been staying here for 3 or 4 years and every time it's been a very pleasant experience.  The last time I was here (4 days ago) 2 does & a fawn came lopping /walking through the property. There is a beautiful private pond on property and the owner does allow catch/release.

        In summary, I highly recommend this campground. It's well worth the short drive off the Interstate.

        RV - the owner prefers chicken jerky treats broken up very small.
