Santee State Park features cabin rentals positioned directly on the water, accessible via boardwalk. According to one visitor, "The one bedroom cabins were secluded, rustic and completely charming."

Most parks require advance reservations, particularly during summer months when waterfront cabin options fill quickly. Pet policies vary by location, with many campgrounds allowing pets in certain cabin units but restricting them in others.

Most cabins include basic furnishings but requirements for linens and supplies differ across locations. Some parks provide complete bedding and towels, particularly in their deluxe cabin options, while others expect guests to bring their own. Kitchen facilities range from fully-equipped with refrigerators, stoves and cooking implements to minimal setups with only outdoor grills. Many park offices or camp stores sell firewood, ice, and basic supplies, though selection is limited. Campers staying at cabins in more remote parks like Little Pee Dee should arrive prepared, as one reviewer mentioned "there isn't a camp store, but the Ranger Station does have ice, firewood, and a small number of souvenirs for sale."

    Little Pee Dee State Park Campground

    A quiet and clean state park

    Little Pee Dee State Park is a quiet and clean campground on the banks of Lake Norton. Locals often come here for fishing and non-motorized boating.  We were fortunate to witness a mass crayfish event--the recent flooding had brought them out of the swamp and up the spillway, much to the delight of seafood lovers.

    The campground had two different campground hosts, and they kept the restrooms and campsites immaculately clean.

    Campsites have a fire ring/grate and a picnic table, but no trash cans, and you'll need to bring your trash to a large bin located at the edge of the campsites.

    There are some nice sites right at the edge of Lake Norton, but the abundant water plants don't allow you to fish from the side of the lake, and it's not really a swimming lake. These sites accommodate RVs and have water & electric.  If you're on a budget, there are tent-only sites off the water.

    The campground recently built a sleeping cabin, which is a cute structure with air conditioning/heat, bunk beds, and a free-standing bed (the cabin sleeps four, total). Guests can use a fire ring and Adirondack chairs, hammock, and grill.

    The park also has a nice shelter for use.

    There is no WiFi here, and cellular internet is spotty. There isn't a camp store, but the Ranger Station does have ice, firewood, and a small number of souvenirs for sale.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Cheraw State Park Campground — Cheraw State Park

    VERY Nice campground!!

    The camping spots were clean and well kept....some have water and electric hookups and some are more rustic. There are plenty of large spaces for RVs with lots of room around them for privacy. It felt very private even though there were people all around. The bathrooms and showers were amazingly clean and they had a giant heater you can turn on over the showers when it's cold outside! There is a lake with a swimming area that was also well-maintained and clean, it has a boardwalk that goes around a large portion of the lake that connects the campground with the beach are. You can rent kayaks and canoes to take out on the lake, and the fishing is excellent! They also have rental cabins by the swimming area but I've never stayed in one. It is a nice campground, quiet and great for children! I will definitely go back!


Guide to Lynchburg

Cabin rentals near Lynchburg, South Carolina range from waterfront units to forest-nestled accommodations throughout the Pee Dee region. Located in the eastern part of South Carolina within the Sandhills geographic region, this area features sandy soil, pine forests, and numerous lakes. Summer temperatures typically reach 90°F with high humidity, making climate-controlled cabins a popular choice for those seeking outdoor recreation without roughing it completely.

What to do

Fishing at Lake Norton: Lake Norton at Little Pee Dee State Park offers excellent fishing opportunities, with many locals visiting specifically for this purpose. "The lake is absolutely beautiful, and one of my favorite things about this park. Part of the lake is from the Carolina Bay, and the coloring of the water is gorgeous," notes camper Ashley W.

Trail hiking: Several parks offer interconnected trail systems with varying difficulty levels. At Poinsett State Park, "This is a good place to stay to mountain bike, there are two trails in Poinsett and Manchester State Forest is nearby," shares Jodi B. The trails showcase the region's unique mix of Midlands and Sandhills ecosystems.

Water recreation: Many cabin locations provide lake access for swimming and boating during warm months. "Santee State Park features a nice boardwalk and nature trails nearby, with rental gear available," according to John, who stayed at Cheraw State Park. The park's lake includes a designated swimming area and boat rentals when in season.

What campers like

Privacy levels: Some cabin areas offer more seclusion than others. At Poinsett State Park, camper Alisa H. appreciated the privacy: "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."

Affordable lodging options: State park cabins typically range from $45-125 per night, with different price tiers based on amenities. "The WPA era cabins are great. They have all the amenities you need for a little getaway, including a fireplace," comments a Poinsett State Park visitor about their historic cabin accommodations.

Lake views: Waterfront cabin locations provide scenic views and direct water access. At Santee Lakes KOA, camper Georgia R. noted, "We had an awesome view from our campsite of Santee Lake. We definitely will be coming back!" The lakefront cabins generally cost $20-30 more per night than non-waterfront options.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Some cabin facilities close or reduce operations during winter. For Swamp Fox Campground, camper Darlene C. notes, "The staff is super friendly. The grounds are well maintained and the sites are very large. Bathrooms are smartly decorated like the 50's probably because they're older-nice touch."

Reservation requirements: Most cabin rentals require advance booking, especially during summer and holidays when availability becomes limited. Reservations typically open 13 months in advance for state parks and 6-12 months for private facilities.

Location remoteness: Several cabin rental areas have limited nearby services. "Little Pee Dee State Park is definitely off the beaten path, about 15 miles from I-95. There aren't any stores around, so get your food and supplies before you arrive," advises camper Suzanne B. This remoteness contributes to the peaceful atmosphere but requires planning ahead.

Tips for camping with families

Playgrounds and recreation: Many cabin areas include family-friendly facilities. "Clean and nice play ground for kids," says pilar about Florence RV Park, which maintains 4-5 log cabins at the front of their property along with family recreation areas.

Safety considerations: Lakes often have designated swimming areas with varying supervision levels. "The camp sites were on the smaller side but opened up to a large field area where the kids and dog could run around and play. Shower and bathrooms were tidy and spacious too," reports Marissa H. about her family's stay at Poinsett State Park.

Educational opportunities: Several parks offer interpretive programs and wildlife viewing. "This park is a really nice place to recharge and enjoy nature. You'll fall asleep to a chorus of frogs every night!" notes a cabin camper at Little Pee Dee State Park, highlighting the natural soundtrack that kids often find fascinating.

Tips from RVers

Access considerations: Road quality varies significantly between cabin locations. "The park road is very narrow and uneven with lots of large pot holes. The road to the campground is a little better, but also very narrow. It would be difficult to pull off to let another vehicle pass without fear of ending up off the road or hitting a tree," warns Jason F. about access to Poinsett State Park.

Cabin alternatives: Many RV parks with cabins allow visitors to choose between bringing their own RV or renting a cabin. "We stayed in the camp juniper group area this time, but have camped in the regular campground in the past. The regular sites are usually full, and very close, but the lake front sites are gorgeous and worth being close to neighbors," observes Trina W. about camping options at Cheraw State Park.

Utility access: RV parks with cabin rentals typically provide full hookup options for those bringing their own units. While cabin renters have indoor facilities, RV sites often feature 30/50 amp service, water, and sometimes sewer connections, especially at private campgrounds.
