  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.

  Cypress View Campground — Santee State Park

  Small and peaceful under the pines

  We stopped heading south and north along I-95 to and from Florida.  Very easy off and on I-95.  Plenty of available spaces in off-season.  The campground is small and quiet.  Camp Host was very helpful. Sites were spaced reasonably far apart but there is no privacy between.  Not all sites have a water view, but most appeared fairly level. Not all sites have sewer access.  Our only complaint was lots of smoke from campfires and grills. Would stay again.

  Cypress View Campground — Santee State Park

  Peaceful, good trails

  We were at site 46, which is near the entrance and the camp host. Short walk to the bathhouse directly behind. Site has good trees for a hammock and near a path down to the lake for fishing/picnic/swimming. Beware there is a sharp drop off across from the site, so make sure whoever is backing in has a spotter out front.

  Nice peaceful setting

  Nice campground. Campground has hiking/biking trails. Lake views from our site. Shower house was less than perfect, but adequate.

  Nice, no frills, stop over campsite

  We stopped here for a night on our way back to Florida. We were on C5 which was a very large pull through and relatively level. We did not even have to bring out our leveling blocks, the auto leveler was able to handle it well. Power was stable and water pressure was good. Only things we did not like is that every site was just dirt and there was not much shade at our site.

  Nice but no cell coverage

  Nice campsite, full hookups, enjoyed the lightning bugs, great place to enjoy camping and getting away from electronics since no cell phone signal for T-Mobile and no wifi in campground, definitely need to wear your bug repellent

  Lee State Park Campground

  Kinda buggy

  Lots of sand and gnats and deerflys too. That’s the bad. About half the sites have full hookup some very large sites. Whole campground very wooded ( no Starlink here). About 3 bars cell with Verizon. Pretty neat campground with lots of history. The bugs are seasonal.

  Palmetto Shores RV Resort

  Great stay but needs maintenance

  Such a beautiful location but price doesn’t match the upkeep. If you pay resort style prices (in which you do) you shouldn’t have to work on shower heads in the bath house… Shouldn’t be grime and rust built up in the stalls and shower. Should spend money on repairs for sure. Everything is outdated. However, it is a nice location.. Campground was a lot of fun and a lot to do. If they could just clean it up and do some maintenance I wouldnt mind the 90 dollars a night

  Rocks Pond Campground & Marina

  Great place for boating and fishing.

  We used it as a 3 day stop on our way up to the Northeast. It is a ways from 95 and all but well worth it. peaceful and as stated very big. If you have a boat and or love to fish this is great place. Other then that, not much was happening while we were there. But to be fair it was spring time and this looks like a campground that is rocking in the summertime.

  Our ATT hotspot was fine and our phones which are on the T-Mobile

  Added a few pics to give you an idea.

  Beautiful Lake

  This campground has a beautiful lake with boat dock. A nice little bait shop with firewood for sale. Bathroom facilities weren’t great, but overall fantastic spot. My family will return.

  Cypress View Campground — Santee State Park

  Huge Park , nice wooded sites.

  I chose the lakeside tent sites section. I wish I knew that the Cypress side was open to tents also. It is much further from I-95. I can clearly hear roadway noise from this side. I visited the other side tonight and it is a much greater diatance from the highway and faces away from the noise. It is more popular over there so tonight, I have more isolation here. Good for tents all tbrough park.

  Santee Lakes KOA

  Nice, last minute overnight stay

  My wife and I spent one night here out of necessity but would definitely return to actually visit and relax. It’s right on the Santee lake and even though we didn’t have a lakefront site we could still easily see it from ours. We didn’t get to just walk around and check things out but the staff were very friendly. I did use their restroom and it was clean. We did like how there were many birds active and chirping, there were some squirrels, we love all the critters.

  It’s right off I-95, getting to it is simple. It can be a little tight in some spots but anything should be able to get through where your rig will fit. Our site did require a good bit of leveling. Plenty of water pressure, will definitely want a pressure regulator.

  They serve Hunt Brothers pizza from the office. You can call and place an order, they’ll charge it to your card on file if you’d like, they’ll even deliver it to your site. And the pizza was phenomenal!!

  Overall we were pleased and would be happy to visit again.

  Givhans Ferry State Park Campground

  Possibly the worst campground

  First of all, when people say it’s nowhere they mean it. Nowhere can be good. But this is the opposite. There is chain link fence surrounding the park. The “hiking trail” runs along the road and cars barrel down it. The sites are not level and the ground is almost sandy (ie: your camper will stay dirty). No privacy and all the sites are super close together. There is nothing to do at the park or anywhere close by. Booked 4 nights and we are leaving after one. Be prepared for almost zero cell service.

  Cypress View Campground — Santee State Park

  Tired, but beautiful and quiet.

  The grounds and facilities at Cypress View are in need of a refresh (no attempt to remove fall leaves, “tennis courts” a joke, playground covered with pine needles, fishing pier splintering, bathroom ceilings mildewed, etc.) but the location is superb. The lake is beautiful and is visible from many sites. Sites are spacious and well planned. No contact checkin was a bonus. Excellent place to roam and fish for a great price.

  Quiet all week but got pretty full and loud on Friday night. Other campers were respectful.

  Long story short: don’t expect much for amenities, but expect a great time!

  Cypress View Campground — Santee State Park

  open with nearly complete tree canopy

  Staff very helpful and accommodating.  Very clean camp grounds, good clean bathrooms.  Sites are randomly laid out and spaced well.  The camp grounds boarder the large man made lake.

  Reasonably close to I95 and camp sites are $20/day.  If you do not want to camp, they have nice cabins for $30/day.  

  they offer two camping areas, one near the camp store and office.  The other is a few miles away and isolated, where we stayed.

  Cypress View Campground — Santee State Park

  Lakeside Paradise

  This State Park has a lot to offer from plenty of campsites with all of the traditional amenities(water, electric hookups), decent (OK, not great) restroom facilities and excellent grounds running adjacent to Lake Marion that offers sweeping views of this incredibly beautiful, massive lake. 

  There's EZ access to the lake with a great boat launching area. The only downside is the foliage isn't terribly dense at the campground, so you'll basically be seeing all of your neighbors (and I mean all of them - from the far side to the near front) for as far as the eye can see, so if the lack of privacy and seclusion doesn't bother you, then you should be alright. 

  Insider's Tip?  If I was to book a campsite here at Santee SP, it would be this one -#100 (nice and private, further away from the other campsites) with direct lake access, plus, it's got some really great trees and shrubs all the way around it.

  Lots to explore, see and do here at Santee State Park. Happy Camping!
