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.

This was the perfect weekend get away spot. You couldn't ask for more. Easy access, easy hook ups, especially for a 1st time rv'er. Nice, quite and away for all the hustle and bussel. Absolutely amazing!!

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.

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.

and recharge before continuing on your journey. The view from this spot is breathtaking, with rolling hills and a clear blue sky stretching out before you. Take a moment to appreciate the beauty of nature and the peacefulness of this place. Whether you are traveling alone or with loved ones, this is the perfect spot to relax and unwind. So take a deep breath, soak in the surroundings, and enjoy this moment of tranquility before hitting the road again.

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.
LegendThis 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!
ScoutNice site with trees and picnic table
ScoutClean and nice play ground for kids.
GuideDecent campground and bathrooms. No swimming in lake which sucks.
ScoutGreat place we stopped to eat and got some rest before heading back out on the road.

This may be the best campground I have visited. Very quiet and the views are amazing!
TravelerRangers and hosts are wonderful at this SC State Park. Serene setting on a lake, nice sized campsites. I stayed in campsite 11 which I was somewhat difficult to get get into so definitely only for smaller rigs, the other thing is you might now want to take campsite # 12 if they offer, the water, electric and sewer hookups for 11 are basically in campsite 12 front yard. I was here over two weeks and enjoyed
GuidePicked this park to add a stop on our drive to NC, we didn’t hit the trails so I can’t review those. Site 45 was great, right by a clearing so we got the view of the gorgeous night sky. Some tree branches from two sites down came crashing on our first night and an entire tree split on a different area/ day. I didn’t feel very comfortable staying in a site under so many trees after that. (site 28) Park was cute but a lot of mosquitos, ants, bugs etc. and an Air Force training area nearby graced us the sound of heavy artillery late at night, a little disconcerting when you’re camping out in the woods. We cut the trip short. Staff was friendly and they sell firewood and a few other things at the store but not a lot, so stock up on necessities there’s nothing nearby. Roads were really heavy with potholes, so not the friendliest for rvs.

• The manager took extra money out of people's accounts without permission or knowledge when paying the lot rent with a card.
• They have in their employ a man that is a felon who brags about having guns in his RV. This man also threatened to destroy people's vehicles and RVs. He also threatened to kill a man he got into an altercation with. The management did not see the need to let this individual go after these threats were made to campers.
• The water smells like rotten eggs or rotten meat on any given day. I would not recommend drinking. They periodically just pour bleach in the tank to "clean it" and then your water smells like bleach. If you have a washer and dryer in your RV or are using the laundry room on-site beware of bleaching that may occur when washing. Water pressure is awful.
• The campground grass is rarely mowed and you could very well pull into a site with knee deep grass. The cabins are not well kept and you need to bring your own toilet paper and sheets. They are not cleaned very well either.
• Dogs run off leash and poop all over park.
• There is NO cable or internet provided so be prepared to blow through your hotspot.
• The pool is not cleaned on a regular basis and often closed during summer months due to being too dirty.
• The road in and out of the park is 3/4 of a mile long and dirt so when when it rains it becomes awful to drive on due to holes. They do not maintain the road and you need to drive down it extremely slow and carefully in order to not damage your vehicle or RV.
• The campground in general is not as advertised. It seems run down and not maintained well. A real disappointment.
ScoutNot sure how people can be so cruel, kindness can go a long way. We stayed out here for about 3 months, in those three months so much happened, it’s unreal. Was informed a worker specifically frank“abuses his animals and had multiple taken and is a felon” well I’ve watched him have incidents with others and they continue to stick with him. May 26th around 7pm me and my fiancé were going to the dog park when the gate wouldn’t work, which it doesn’t half of the time. The high school worker told us to help him push up on the gate so we did. Frank pulled up and cussed out my fiancé saying“the gate was more than his yearly paycheck” called him“dumb”“stupid” a“f***ing idiot” and so much more. I rolled down the window and all I said was“it wasn’t just him” and he kept telling me to shut up. We went to talk to the manager Crissy and she told me“she isn’t a kindergarten teacher, I shouldn’t have said anything and the boy is 12 why would I listen to him”(he’s in high school and a worker)“nothing she can do”.. if you’re reading this.. you probably went about your night and never thought of it again, I spent days thinking about it, and playing it back.. You never know what goes on in someone else’s life, nor their story, a little kindness could’ve helped this place a ton. If you move out here everyone will tell you it’s“sh**” the people are“sh**”“keep to yourself and don’t say anything” and“they want to move but no where is as cheap” thankfully we had a backup option that worked out perfectly. For the people that read this far, in the short time I was here a neighbor threatened to shoot me and my dog at 7:45am(nothing was done), another neighbor come in while we weren’t home, took my dog, and brought her back later never informing me. Can’t have a large dog pen, because we would look like trailer park trash, can’t have a wood table, looks like trailer park trash, can’t set a trash bag outside to take off, looks like trailer park trash. But then there are others that live in horse trailers. Very much a pick and choose place.
TravelerWe recently returned from 5 days tent camping at Cheraw. We chose site #8 that was directly on the lake and offered electricity and water. These sites are obviously designed for RV’s with little or no space for tent campers. Although there is a designated tent area, it is back in the woods and not lakefront.
The minimal room we had was fortunately on the lake shore with wonderful shade trees. The space was not level and contained some unfriendly exposed tree roots. Fortunately we had an inflatable air bed and the roots weren’t much of a problem.
Lake Juniper is quite small and swimming is allowed in a designated area on the far side of the lake. We had inflatable rafts and tied our floats to a tree in front of our site , highly aware that a spillway not too far from our site would prove quite dangerous if one went too close then pulled over.
The small office on the opposite side of the lake offers ice and wood as well as ice cream, candy etc to satisfy any junk food craving. 10 minutes from the park is an IGA. It offers the basics and a little further out is a Walmart with groceries.
The bathhouse is currently “ under construction” although we saw no work being done during our stay. One half of the bathhouse had been designated unisex with three locking stalls and curtained showers. There is an interior lock if you choose to have the entire bathhouse all to yourself. I grew up in a family of eight and have no problem sharing a bathroom. The bathhouse has obviously seen a great deal of traffic, is quite dated and poorly ventilated. Hopefully the bathhouse will receive its update soon.
The campground host was quite helpful and an all around nice guy. We chatted a bit and he has a very interesting background.
We would return to Cheraw and confidently reserve #7 or #8 for tents. There are most likely other suitable sites there that escaped my notice.
ScoutThe campground was clean and pleasant, with spacious, paved spots and lots of trees. While I would not make it a destination, it’s an affordable and comfortable overnight stop.
TravelerStayed here for a few nights with a friend for spring break. The staff were very friendly and answered all the questions that we had. We were tent camping and the campsite was perfect! Had a picnic table, fire ring, plenty of space to pull the car in, level ground for the tent, and trees for hammocking. The bathroom facilities were very clean, and were right by the campsites. In terms of activities, there are plenty of hiking trails and a beautiful lake right in front of the visitor center. We rented a paddleboat and got to see some wildlife on the water (cranes, turtles, and even a couple little gators). Overall, this was a perfect state park, great for a quiet getaway.
(Side note: the bugs were practically nonexistent in March when we visited, but we were told that they can get bad in the summer months)
ScoutStopped here last year on the way back north from Florida. It was raining and our spot was a mud bog. Drainage was terrible in the park with many spots underwater.
TravelerReally nice campground. A lot of pull thru sites. With table, electric, water, sewer. Low lights, garbage cans. There's a BMX training facility camp at the back. Dog friendly 2 playground. One rusty and the other newer. 3 Bath houses with laundry and area is fenced in. Security patrols. Close to everything
ScoutCheraw state Park was an overall good camping experience. We stayed in the tent camping area, which was well kept. My only complaint is that the sites are somewhat close together, but it's not a huge deal. Park is well kept and the sights are worth seeing. Plenty of trails to walk down, with a boardwalk that covers the side of lake juniper.
RangerThis is a very basic campground with a lot of unfinished upgrades in progress. Georgetown itself is a quaint little town with all the essentials. The campground is secluded and safe and although there is never anyone in the office they always answer the phone right away. The paper mill is just up river and is very noisy. We called it "Mordor" because of the weird noises it makes at night. They are building a laundry facility but for now you must go outside the campground to do laundry. The bath houses are outdated and we never used them because of the odor. There isn't much for the kids to do except for a few swings. It was winter when we visited so fishing was a hard sell for our boys because of the cold. Can't wait to see how it looks after the upgrades are finished.
RangerStopped on our way back from Florida. Lots a little uneven, but it's a small price to pay for lakefront sites with water and electric. The campground host was very helpful too. Mountain biking and fishing was a blast
GuideLarge. Multiple trails. Secluded. Scenic. Rental/Activities. Waterways. Picnic areas. Kid playground. ***BUT...! if you are camping... there's no wifi or cell service in camping section!! Whether 'primitive' or tent/rv with power, it ALL seems a little primitive. Only difference is power connection sites and a bathhouse. I'm truly ok with semi-primitive, but no cell service or Wi-Fi (in camping area), as a female... this needs to be addressed for safety, at minimum. It was beautiful, but we had to leave, as safety is #1. *oh.... SITE 17.... is the worse, if you wanted a little seclusion. It's the only rv/tent site that is "in" the 'activity field' (there was a group of teens playing loud and rough football right next to us, even my daughter did NOT like it). Highly suggest day visits, not so much camping.
GuideNot a very scenic campsite, but it's quiet, secure, and next to all the SOTB attractions.
GuideI was very happy with Cheraw State park. The views are beautiful. The bathrooms are very clean. The staff is friendly and helpful!
Legend
Once you successfully navigate all of the backroads past Lake Marion and directly on the shores of Lake Moultrie, you’ll eventually find a small nook in the road where you’ll discover Johnston Landing, which is set off immediately by what looks to be a small bayou playing home to likely some grizzly gators(but truth be told, I never saw any while we were there). If you are coming to these parts, be sure to bring a floating vessel of any type– fishing boat, kayak, canoe or whatever will stay afloat– but if not, no worries, the good people here at Johnston Landing have you covered as they offer a paddle boat, kayaks and a row boat for rent. Insider’s tip? One of the best hikes in all of South Carolina– the Palmetto Trial is just about 5 miles away, but is definitely worth the hike as here you’ll be able to witness first hand the sunken giant Cypress trees, amazing bird watching(Ospreys and Herons in particular). As for amenities, this well-groomed campground offers up fairly new picnic tables, all the basic hook-ups(water, electric and sewage), BBQ/ grills and fairly clean restrooms and showers. Sportsman’s Bar& Grill just down the road is about the only thing decent within close proximity, otherwise, be prepared to cook whatever you plan on dining on for each meal.
Happy Camping!
