    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.

    Small clean campground

    Stayed 1 night, sites are close to each other. Small cabins available, walk-in campsites and restrooms are clean and updated. Very nice trail along the lake perimeter and Championship Disc golf course.

    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

    Weston Lake Recreation Area

    Peaceful

    I was stationed at Jackson from’07-‘09 and the only thing that has really changed is the dam is being worked on so you can only observe the lake, no swimming, boating, anything on the lake until repairs are completed. The receptionist said they’ve been working on it for maybe 4 years. Hopefully it’ll be completed sooner than later. The grounds could be kept up a little better as could the restrooms/bath houses but I imagine they lost some revenue due to the lake being closed for dam repairs.

    There isn’t any concerns getting back here, the biggest rigs will not have any problems. All sites are large concrete pads, FHU. Most sites are spaced very well, some better than others but you won’t be on top of anyone whichever site you’re at. They have a large concrete patio area, nearly the size of the pad itself with a picnic table and fire pit/grill and stand alone grill.

    Verizon cell coverage is adequate. I had 2 bars and LTE, sometimes 5G. Not like being in the city but sufficient. No wifi.

    There are cabins and tent sites as well. This isn’t a large campground but there were still a few open spaces.

    There will be various bugle calls throughout, morning, day and night. You may hear firing range training going on in the distance. You should expect this and it should not be seen as negative, you’re on a military campground.

    Current RV site price a night is $35, if you have a National park pass it’s $32.50. Despite the lake being off limits right now I will still come back. Once it’s opened back up I’m sure it will be more busy, right now it’s very peaceful.

    Nice sites!

    Very nice concrete pads; large sites with fire pit, grill, and picnic table. Gravel roads have washed out areas but not terrible. Very open and quiet. Several long-term residents.

    Overnight

    Stayed in a tent at tent site 3. Site was level and clean with water and electric, fire ring, and a picnic table. for $10 per night. There are also primitive tent sites as well for $5 per night. Lots of RV spots too! Bathhouse was cleans and has 2 showers and toilets on the mens and womens side. The office was closed before we arrived, but we were able to call on the phone to make a reservation. Seems like a few full time people in their RV. T mobile service worked well. Camp host was very friendly

    Military Park Shaw AFB Wateree Recreation Area and FamCamp

    Tent camping

    Did some tent camping in mid October. Had tons of fun and the park was really clean. Bath houses were nice and had hot water. T mobile service doesn’t work at all, but they have Wi-Fi hotspots for rent for $5 per day. Tent camping was $7.50 per night. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5, was because Quiet hours are supposed to be from 11-7, but there were people partying pretty late. Definitely should’ve brought some ear plugs.

    Charming Cabin

    The one bedroom cabins were secluded, rustic and completely charming. There is some hiking and a nice playground in this state park.

    Poinsett State Park Campground

    Great for Activities, Camping is lacking...

    Large. 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.

Guide to Irmo

Cabin rentals and rustic accommodations dot the landscape around Irmo, South Carolina, where the Midlands region's mix of pine forests and lake access creates varied camping opportunities. Cabin camping options near Irmo range from military recreation areas to state parks and private campgrounds, with most situated within a 30-45 minute drive of town. Winter temperatures typically remain mild enough for year-round cabin camping, though summer humidity makes climate-controlled options more desirable.

What to do

Disc golf on championship courses: Chester State Park Campground offers a championship disc golf course with lakeside views. "Very nice trail along the lake perimeter and Championship Disc golf course," notes a visitor who found the park's "sites are close to each other" but appreciated the "clean and updated" facilities.

Water recreation at Fort Jackson: Weston Lake Recreation Area provides boating opportunities when the dam isn't under repair. A visitor explains, "I was stationed at Jackson from '07-'09 and the only thing that has really changed is the dam is being worked on so you can only observe the lake, no swimming, boating, anything on the lake until repairs are completed."

Hiking through diverse terrain: Poinsett State Park Campground features multiple trail systems for various difficulty levels. "Poinsett State Park has some of the best hiking and biking trails in the Palmetto State. You could spend multiple days camping here and have a chance to hike different trails every day," shares one camper who recommends caution on the narrow park roads.

What campers like

Elevated camping experiences: Prices Bridge Glampsite offers a unique treehouse-style experience. One visitor notes it's "a unique experience for those looking to camp a little higher off the ground and enjoy the huge deck looking out into the forest."

Military-focused amenities: Wateree Military Recreation Area provides affordable lakeside camping for service members. "This was my family's first time tent camping in the cold weather and it wasn't that bad. The lakeside tent area provided beautiful scenery with access to restrooms and showers. It wasn't too crowded as it was military members only and you can't beat the price for a lakeside spot."

Basic cabin simplicity: Cedar Pond Campground receives praise for its straightforward approach to cabin accommodations. A camper described it as "Beautiful cedar trees and pond. Rustic with everything you need and nothing you don't. Owners super friendly and even helped us park."

What you should know

Accessibility challenges: Many parks have limited access for larger vehicles. At Poinsett, "It's not easy to get in here with anything bigger than a full size pickup. The park road is very narrow and uneven with lots of large pot holes."

Seasonal insect considerations: Summer brings significant bug activity at several campgrounds. One Poinsett visitor warned, "First, in the parks defense, it was probably not the best idea to stay here during the summer time. July? Hottest month of the year? South Carolina? The bugs were massive."

Military base protocols: Weston Lake Recreation Area operates on Fort Jackson with specific military procedures. "There will be various bugle calls throughout, morning, day and night. You may hear firing range training going on in the distance. You should expect this and it should not be seen as negative, you're on a military campground."
