Several RV parks near Manning, South Carolina provide full hookup options for motorhome travelers. Palmetto Shores RV Resort in Summerton features 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections on spacious sites that accommodate larger rigs. Florence RV Park offers similar amenities with pull-through sites that work well for overnight stays. "This spot is so close to I95 that you'll both feel and hear the swoosh of passing by traffic 24/7," noted one visitor about Florence RV Park, highlighting the convenient but noisy location. Santee Lakes KOA provides lakefront sites with water and electric hookups, though some premium waterfront spots may be challenging for larger RVs. Hill's Landing RV Park maintains 60 sites with full hookups and can accommodate big rigs, making it another viable option in the region.
Throughout the area, concrete pads are available at select campgrounds while others feature gravel or grass surfaces that may require leveling equipment. Cell service varies significantly between locations, with stronger signals at parks closer to Interstate 95. Most RV parks in the region remain open year-round, though weekend reservations are recommended during peak seasons. Dump stations are available at Florence RV Park and Santee Lakes KOA for those without full hookup sites. According to one visitor, "The site was 30 amp, no sewer. I backed in the way I was told to and realized our water and electric were on the curb side." Pet-friendly policies are common, though some parks enforce restrictions on tethering dogs outside RVs. Propane refill services can be found at several locations, including Florence RV Park which maintains an on-site refueling station.

Off The Beaten Path
You’ll find this hidden campground VERY far off the beaten trail (and trust me, this trail is as beaten up a road as you’ll find just about anywhere in South Carolina, so you'll want to drive down the lane here SLOW) on the easternmost side of Lake Marion off Ferguson Landing in southeastern part of the great Palmetto State. Given its direct access to Lake Marion, the place gets high marks for its location, but lower marks for overall upkeep and the basic downtrodden nature of the place. You’ll be impressed by the shallow water access and boat launch here, where you’ll have to maneuver around scores of submerged Cypress trees, which makes for quite the enchanting entry to Lake Marion, which if you weren’t aware, offers up 315 miles of shoreline, spans 110,000 square acres or 174 square miles and is the largest lake in South Carolina.
That said, IMHO Taylor’s Landing could use a serious bit of refurbishment and grooming, including the grounds themselves, which were quite overgrown when we stopped by. There is a general store of sorts on-site that sells sundries, ice and most camping needs as well as providing propane tanks for sale. Overall, this place is built more for the RV’ing crowd, although they do offer a few places for tent campers, but don’t offer much in terms of amenities. There was a communal dog area that was pretty worn down right near the area designated for tent camping, which given that most of the dog owners didn’t take their dogs for a walk, the smell emanating from this area was enough for us to decide not to camp here for the night. The entire CG is wide open without any benefit of shade or privacy between sites, although the perimeter has a nice treeline.
Insider’s tip? Here’s a few: (1) If you are a history buff, then you’ll be lured nearby to discover the Sunken Ghost Town of Ferguson, which was once a Congaree Indian Village, which we could access with our kayaks to explore; (2) There is a sandy beachhead that you’ll discover on one of the few trails you’ll come across here at Taylor’s Landing; (3) From an entertainment standpoint, this CG does offer up some interesting creative options during different times of the year – when we were there during the latter part of October, they offered up a ‘Trail of Terror’ for Halloween; (4) If you want to get your hike on, right nearby is Santee Cooper Nature Trail, which makes for some relative easy-to-modest hiking; (5) There’s nothing out in these parts, so if you want to grab a bite to eat, you’ll need to head back to Eutawville where there’s a few mom & pop joints like Tricia’s Café, Sweatman’s BBQ and Casters at Bells; (6) The fishing dock here is solid and offers great opportunity to reel in largemouth bass, catfish, striped bass, crappie and panfish like bluegill; and (7) The best asset here at Taylor's Landing is the fairly EZ to access boat launch that will have you in Lake Marion in no time flat, whether you have a motorized boat or a simple kayak or canoe.
Overall, Taylor's Landing could be a nice place, just in dire need of some upgrades and overall maintenance.
Happy Camping!

Great getaway on the lake
This is a great location, tucked away beautiful serene views and pretty well maintained. Bath house is clean with clean showers. It seems like most of the occupants are long term and everyone including the staff is very friendly. The waters are great for boating, fishing, and swimming. Tons of beautiful birds in this area. The site i got does not have sewage hookup but they can come by and pump out your tanks upon request.

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!

Lovely but loud
This is a lovely park but construction in progress at campground during our stay so heavy equipment running during weekdays
Guide to Manning
The Manning area of South Carolina sits at an elevation of around 200 feet in the coastal plain region. Campers will find relatively flat, wooded terrain with access to lakes Marion and Moultrie, which together form the Santee Cooper Lakes system spanning over 170,000 acres. Winter temperatures rarely drop below freezing, making year-round camping possible at most locations.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie offer excellent fishing conditions, particularly for striped bass, channel catfish, and bream. Hill's Landing & RV Park sits perfectly between both lakes on a tributary called Diversion Canal. "Located about 1.5 hour northwest of Charleston, you will find complete respite from the bustling developed world out here in these parts where there's plenty of hiking, fishing and boating to be had," notes one visitor.
Hiking trails: The Palmetto Trail passes within 5 miles of Johnston Landing Campground and features remarkable views of sunken giant Cypress trees. "One of the best hikes in all of South Carolina– the Palmetto Trial is just about 5 miles away, but is definitely worth the hike as here you'll be able to witness first hand the sunken giant Cypress trees, amazing bird watching (Ospreys and Herons in particular)," reports a camper.
Wildlife viewing: The rural setting provides opportunities to spot native wildlife. At RV's Acres, visitors might see deer wandering through the property. "The last time I was here (4 days ago) 2 does & a fawn came lopping/walking through the property," mentions one reviewer.
What campers like
Waterfront camping: Many campgrounds in the area offer lakeside sites with direct water access. At Johnston Landing Campground & Cabins, campers appreciate the waterfront location. "Once you successfully navigate all of the backroads past Lake Marion and directly on the shores of Lake Moultrie, you'll eventually find a small nook in the road where you'll discover Johnston Landing," writes one camper.
Rental equipment: Several campgrounds provide boat rentals for visitors who don't bring their own. "If you are coming to these parts, be sure to bring a floating vessel of any type– fishing boat, kayak, canoe or whatever will stay afloat– but if not, no worries, the good people here at Johnston Landing have you covered as they offer a paddle boat, kayaks and a row boat for rent," notes a reviewer.
Well-maintained facilities: Many rv sites near Manning, South Carolina receive positive feedback about cleanliness and upkeep. "Very nice campground. Has boat docks & launching ramp. Nice fishing pier. Clean bathrooms. Staff friendly and helpful. Seen several Deer, Armadillo and other wildlife I will stay here again," writes a visitor to Cypress View Campground.
What you should know
Site leveling needs: Some campgrounds require equipment for leveling. At Black Pearl Farms, visitors should be prepared for rustic conditions. "Black Pearl Farms fit most of our expectations. However, I did make some poor assumptions regarding the information. We were in spot 3 which had 'access to power and water'. Which was true, but not what I assumed. The site was a few yards away from a wash area to get water from and there was a 12 volt power cord outside to plug into," reports one camper.
Reservation types: Some campgrounds only accept monthly reservations. Cedar Cross RV Campground operates on a monthly rental system. "I sent an email checking on one night availability and the response from Erin was 'We only do monthly rentals,'" notes one potential visitor.
Cell service: Coverage varies throughout the area, particularly at locations farther from Interstate 95. When camping at Black Pearl Farms, be aware that navigation systems might not provide accurate directions. "CAUTION: The directions provided by The Dyrt to this location are incorrect. It is not located on Sand Hill. So please use Google Maps to find the location or you will be down a long dirt road with no place to turn around," warns one visitor.
Tips for camping with families
Playground facilities: Several campgrounds feature playgrounds for children. Palmetto Shores RV Resort provides multiple recreation options. "We had a nice views of the water. They had a play ground, cabins, games. Just a very woodsy cozy place," notes one visitor.
Swimming areas: Families can enjoy designated swimming areas at several campgrounds around Manning, South Carolina. "We ventured down to the lake swimming area," mentions one visitor to Santee Lakes KOA, though they caution about boat traffic near swimming areas during busy periods.
Pet-friendly sites: Most campgrounds welcome pets but have specific rules. "We both really enjoyed our stay. The dogs loved the dog park and I appreciated having bags to pick up after them," writes a visitor to Palmetto Shores RV Resort.
Tips from RVers
Pull-through access: Many RV sites near Manning offer easy access for larger vehicles. "Newly graded pull-through spots and a very easy paved boat landing to maneuver around," notes a visitor to Hill's Landing RV Park.
Camp store conveniences: Several campgrounds provide on-site stores with camping essentials. Hill's Landing RV Park offers "a general store where they sell bait & tackle, gas, ice, snacks, sundries and all the other basics you would expect."
Hookup options: Electrical service varies between campgrounds. "The site was 30 amp, no sewer. I backed in the way I was told to and realized our water and electric were on the curb side," reported one RVer about their experience at a local campground.
Site selection: When booking at Santee Lakes KOA, waterfront sites offer the best views but may present challenges for larger RVs. "Nice campground on the water. Worth the upgrade to the lake front sites," advises one camper, while another notes, "The first site they tried to put me in was a 'premium' site overlooking the lake. Beautiful site, but not nearly big enough for my 37' travel trailer."
