    Cabins at Santee State Park provide lakefront accommodations with screened porches and full kitchens. "The big one had two bedrooms 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," noted one visitor about Poinsett State Park cabins. Little Pee Dee State Park offers a sleeping cabin with air conditioning, heat, and bunk beds that accommodates up to four people. Cheraw State Park features lakefront cabins with modern amenities. Most cabins include electricity, beds, and basic furniture, while some provide more extensive amenities like full bathrooms and kitchen facilities.

    Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Poinsett State Park offers one-bedroom cabins described by a camper as "secluded, rustic and completely charming." Little Pee Dee's cabin includes outdoor amenities like a fire ring, Adirondack chairs, a hammock, and a grill. At Santee Lakes KOA, cabin options include both basic and deluxe models. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months when occupancy rates increase. Pet policies vary by location, with some cabins allowing pets while others restrict them. Pricing typically ranges from budget-friendly state park cabins to more expensive private resort accommodations.

    Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries, though some fully-equipped options at Poinsett State Park provide these items. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between locations - from basic microwaves to full kitchens with cooking utensils. Firewood is available for purchase at most campgrounds, including Poinsett, Cheraw, and Santee State Parks. Many campgrounds have small stores selling essential items, though selection is limited. The IGA grocery store approximately 10 minutes from Cheraw State Park offers basic provisions, while a Walmart with groceries is located slightly farther away. Florence RV Park and Pedro's Campground both feature on-site markets for basic supplies.

      BEDBUG INFESTED CABIN

      ***BEDBUGS BEDBUGS BEDBUGS!!!! Went to bed at 10:30pm, woke up with my arms and shoulders burning from being bit an hour later. We checked the mattress when we arrived at 8:00 and didn’t see anything. They are CLIMBING OUT OF THE WALLS. We called and spoke to the park ranger on site after leaving 2 voicemails already with no call back, she acted and responded with no concern or with no intent to have the problem corrected before the next family comes in to stay. As far as bringing your camper, little pee Dee is amazing. We rented the cabin on site for 9/18/26-9/20/26. We brought our own linens, brand new in the package. Completely useless now. With all of our clothing and towels also.

      quick stopover

      Check in was easy, folks friendly. Water pressure to RV was weak, not sure we had 50 amp electric voltage, cause our battery level was down to 1/3 in am. It was very hot, ran two AC’s, and have electric fridge. Still trying to figure out why, when plugged into power, our battery level is lower then when we plugged into pole.

      Harry's Fish Camp

      A True South Carolina Fish Camp Experience

      If you're looking for a rustic RV depot on the water's edge with limited amenities, but an absolutely pristine view of Lake Marion, Harry's Fish Camp is a great spot, as long as your expectations are managed, as this is more of an outdoor fishing paradise than it is a polished RV resort. So if your idea of the perfect camping trip starts with launching the boat before sunrise, spending the day chasing trophy catfish and striped bass on the legendary Lake Marion and returning to camp for a fresh seafood dinner overlooking the water, you'll feel right at home. Tucked away in the quiet community of Pineville, Harry's is one of those classic Santee Cooper fish camps that has earned its reputation through generations of anglers rather than flashy marketing. The atmosphere is relaxed, authentic and refreshingly unpretentious.

      The campground caters to both RV campers and anglers, offering full-hookup RV sites, bathhouse facilities, showers, laundry, a dump station and pet-friendly accommodations. The real stars, however, are the waterfront amenities: two boat ramps, four fishing piers, a fish-cleaning station with running water and electricity, a well-stocked tackle shop and convenient boat storage. There's also a sandy swimming beach nearby with a designated swimming area for families looking to cool off after a day on the water. While the campground isn't luxurious, it delivers exactly what its guests come for: easy access to some of the best freshwater fishing in the Southeast.

      Harry's location places you in the heart of the famed Santee Cooper lake system, encompassing more than 170,000 acres of world-class fishing and boating opportunities. Whether you're targeting largemouth bass, catfish, crappie or striped bass, you're launching directly into one of the country's premier freshwater fisheries. Birdwatchers and paddlers will also appreciate the surrounding cypress swamps and quiet backwaters. If you need supplies, Billy's General Store is just a short drive away for fuel, groceries and last-minute essentials, while Harry's own restaurant is well known locally for its fried catfish and traditional Southern cooking.

      Insider's tips? Here's a handful: (1) Arrive early if you're planning to launch a boat during peak fishing weekends as this place turns into a 'traffic jam' on the water from 8am onwards; (2) If available, request one of the waterfront campsites for easy access to the marina and beautiful sunrise views; (3) Bring plenty of bug spray during the warmer months as mosquitoes can be incredibly active around the marshes; (4) Don't leave without trying the fried catfish dinner at Harry's restaurant ... trust me, it's part of the whole experience while staying here; (5) If you're bringing your own boat, take advantage of the on-site fish-cleaning station before heading home; and (6) If you're visiting for several days, consider hiring one of the area's experienced fishing guides to learn the seasonal patterns of the Santee Cooper lakes.

      Happy Camping!

    Guide to Salem

    South Carolina's Cabin Rentals at Lake Marion and surrounding state parks offer lodging options in the scenic Pee Dee region. At elevations between 200-400 feet, these accommodations provide access to diverse ecosystems from pine forests to wetlands. Many cabins remain open year-round with varying amenities across different price points.

    What to do

    Fishing at Lake Marion: The 110,000-acre lake at Santee State Park offers prime fishing opportunities. "Nice fishing pier. Clean bathrooms. Staff friendly and helpful. Seen several Deer, Armadillo and other wildlife," notes a visitor who stayed at Cypress View Campground.

    Mountain biking trails: The trail system at Poinsett State Park connects with Manchester State Forest for extended rides. "This is a good place to stay to mountain bike, there are two trails in Poinsett and Manchester State Forest is nearby," explains a reviewer who appreciated the park's recreational options.

    Swimming areas: Some parks maintain designated swimming zones during summer months. At Cheraw State Park, "You can walk 10 minutes to a beachy area on the other site of the lake," according to a recent visitor who enjoyed the lakefront amenities.

    What campers like

    Waterfront views: Many cabin sites offer direct views of lakes and waterways. At Santee Lakes KOA, guests appreciate the lakefront positioning. "Worth the upgrade to the lake front sites," mentions one camper who enjoyed the premium location.

    Wildlife viewing: The natural surroundings attract diverse wildlife year-round. A visitor to Cypress View Campground noted seeing "several Deer, Armadillo and other wildlife" during their stay.

    Hiking options: Interconnected trail systems provide various hiking difficulties. "The hiking trails that we went on were good, but it was too warm to do a lot of hiking," commented a visitor to Little Pee Dee State Park, highlighting the park's recreational opportunities.

    What you should know

    Seasonal considerations: Summer heat and humidity affect outdoor activities. "I prefer to stay at Poinsett State Park in the fall, winter, or spring as it is located in the sandhills and it can be pretty hot and buggy in the summer," advises one experienced camper.

    Road conditions: Some park access roads require careful navigation. "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," reports a visitor to Poinsett State Park.

    Grocery options: Limited shopping exists near some parks. For Florence RV Park, one visitor notes the convenience of having "a pond, park, large laundry room, and easy access dump station" but also mentions the campground has a market for necessities.

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: Several parks feature play areas for children. At Swamp Fox Campground, a visitor mentioned it was "Clean and nice play ground for kids," making it suitable for family stays.

    Educational opportunities: Nature programs occur seasonally at many parks. "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," notes an outdoor enthusiast.

    Cabin spacing: Consider site privacy when booking with children. At Little Pee Dee, a visitor noted the campground "Just too crowded with sites, especially the inner loop, on top of each other. Lots of kids on bikes," suggesting site selection matters for families.

    Tips from RVers

    Site dimensions: Some parks have tight clearances for larger rigs. A visitor to Poinsett State Park mentioned, "Long RVs and trailers may have trouble with the trees and turns of the campground," suggesting careful consideration for those with larger vehicles.

    Hook-up variations: Electric amperage differs between parks and specific sites. At Cheraw State Park, "Small, but really nice. A lot of sites right on the water. Lots of trees, really quiet," reports an RV camper with a 17-foot travel trailer.

    Arrival guidance: Some parks offer assistance with parking. At Santee Lakes KOA, "They have a check in station at the gate so you don't even have to get out of your vehicle. Then they have people on golf carts take you to your site which is great!"
