Our small size and inspiring location make Bells Marina & Resort an exclusive experience.

Enjoy the comforts of our boutique hotel and luxury cabins, bring your own RV or camper, or “rough it” in one of our glamping sites. Bring your boat and keep it in one of our guest slips or in our secured boat storage area.

Our friendly staff can provide guides, gear, and just about anything you need for a family-friendly outdoor adventure at this secluded angler’s paradise.

Bells Marina & Resort is a gated outdoor community and resorts in a cove on the popular Lake Marion, known for world-class fishing and record-breaking catches.

Most of our visitors are dazzled at the beauty of the woods and water. We border 400 acres of the Santee Cooper Wildlife Management Area, and you can enjoy 180-degree views of the cove and waterfowl, from white herons to bald eagles.

Meals are a special experience for our guests, and you have a lot of delicious options. Our friendly outdoor cooking area features several barbecues and a pizza oven. There’s also a giant Ring of Fire with a spectacular water fountain in the middle. This is a great place to make new friends.

The country store is stocked with the usual groceries, along with bait & tackle and camping accessories. We have fishing kits, s’mores kits, and many pre-made food options to make your stay easier. You can grab a pizza for the outdoor pizza oven, or if you don’t want to cook after a long day, pick up a convenient crock-pot meal. Crock pots are included in every hotel room. Just place a pre-made meal in the pot and dinner will be waiting for you when you get back.

Our family restaurant is a local favorite and offers fried, fresh-caught catfish. We are open for three meals most days. You can have a hot breakfast starting at 6:00 am, and be on the water or in the woods at sunrise.

The restaurant crew is happy to deliver food to your room, RV, or campfire--and you might even talk our chef into grilling your catch.

If you don’t feel like hunting or fishing, Bells Marina & Resort has play spaces for the kids and relaxing spaces for adults. Join us for movie nights or just unwind at the community campfire.

No matter what kind of vacation you have in mind, Bells Marina & Resort has everything you need for a memorable adventure.

FISHING

Camping at Lake Marion, \*\*the largest lake in South Carolina, \*\*comes with a lot of perks, such as a phenomenal fishing opportunity. Since angling is not just about catching the biggest fish, take the chance to teach your budding fishermen the virtue of patience by the shores of Lake Marion. Some of the fish you’ll likely encounter include striped bass, channel catfish, and black crappie.

BOATING

Should fishing sound interesting, wait until you hear about the boating opportunities. Lake Marion and the neighboring Lake Moultrie are part of a navigable inland channel leading to [Charleston](<https://www.outdoorsy.com/rv-rental/south-carolina/charleston>) from Columbia. If you’re feeling eager to boat down to Charleston, you’ll get to pass through the Pinopolis Dam and Lock, which at 75-foot in height, is the largest single-step lock in North America.

HIKING

While camping in a rental motorhome at Lake Marion, fun isn’t only limited to the water. The low country in South Carolina is relatively flat, so hiking through the countryside is fairly easy. The massive Santee National Wildlife Refuge has a healthy wildlife population consisting of alligators, waterfowl, and the Springflyer Dragonfly. It is also one of the largest wetlands supporting migratory birds in Eastern USA.

HIKING & EATING IN HISTORIC CHARLESTON

The great Historic City of Charleston is very close. Hike the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge - one of Charleston’s most iconic landmarks. After trekking the bridge, head over to downtown Charleston for a culinary delight tour of world-renown restaurants known only to Charleston. After eating to your heart’s content, walk and tour the largest historic district in the country. Tour beautiful historic architecture, gardens and mansions - only in Charleston!

BEACH FUN & MORE

Tucked in between two of South Carolina’s largest cities, you’ll be spoilt for choice over the number of attractions found around the lake. Since Charleston is just a short drive away, be sure to drop by for a chance to sample the town’s best beaches - Isle of Palm or Folly Beach. When packing your RV rental, don’t forget to throw in some sunscreen lotion.

If Folly Beach is your beach of choice, indulge in a self-guided tour to the edge of the island, which is locally referred to as “The Edge of America." Don’t forget a camera as the Morris Island Lighthouse is insta-worthy. If time allows it, make your way to the end of East Ashley Avenue for some snaps of the striking street graffiti.

With four distinct geographical environments, South Carolina offers a wide variety of terrain, natural history, and climate in one relatively small state. With the option to drive from the mountains to the Atlantic coast in a few hours, camping in South Carolina is a great choice for those who want variety without a ton of travel time. 


The state’s far northwest corner is home to mountains that rise above the foothills, appearing blue against the horizon. The Blue Ridge, arguably the most famous stretch of the Appalachians, provide a welcome respite from the hot South Carolina summers. In autumn, The Blue Ridge Mountains draw visitors from around the country to take in the breathtaking fall displays of color across the mountainsides. And no matter what season, camping in South Carolina would not be complete without a trip to iconic Table Rock or Sassafras Mountain – the highest point in the SC Blue Ridge Mountains.


A few hours south of the Blue Ridge, campers can set sail on Lake Murray, enjoy world-renowned fishing, or enjoy beach-front camping at Dreher Island State Park. The lake, a reservoir for the entire midlands area of the state, covers roughly 50000 acres and has 500 miles of shoreline. Lake Murray, which is a prime spot for fishing, has hosted 3 national fishing tournaments in the last 15 years and is home to several species of bass, crappie, bream, and other sport fishing favorites. 


The stunning South Carolina coast is less than 3 hours from state capitol, Columbia, and boasts more than 200 miles of Atlantic coastline beauty. With more campgrounds up and down the coast than you can shake a stick at, trust The Dyrt to help you find the best camping in South Carolina!
