    Dillon Bass Lake

    Much more than expected

    Bass Lake was at the right place for an overnight right off of I-95. Although right next to I-95, the drone of the traffic fades into the background once you pull into the well landscaped campground (Bass Lake as the setting of a wooden campground) with absolutely level sites. Staff and owner were wonderful - and what I learned about coffee from the owner (Frizzy's Coffee House) is why I'm going to route every trip possible through Dillon in the future - more knowledgeable than any barista I've ever met, I experienced what coffee ROASTED the day before tastes like!

    Nice little park

    We really enjoy this little state park. It’s small, quiet, and clean. We use it all the time to “test” new camping gear and setups before we travel further from home on longer trips.

    Our Favorite Getaway

    This is one of our favorite spots! We can boat, fish, ride our golf cart, hang out by the fire and just enjoy the moment. It also has wonderful handicap accommodations. Hands down one of our favorites!

    Wateree Lake RV Park & Marina

    Just Right

    This location has 2 RV lots. Riverside is heavily wooded which provides a ton of shade on the hot summer days. Taylor Creek is newer with less trees providing lots of open space and great for Solar regeneration. Both sites are very clean and well maintained. Just a short walk to the lake.

    Florence RV Park

    Great for traveling

    Great for a pull through spot right off I-95 while traveling! Campground is beautiful and clean, with a pond, park, large laundry room, and easy access dump station. Staff was very friendly and got me a spot right away for a good price. There are spots for every size camper. Only downside is it gets a bit messy/ muddy if it’s raining.

    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!

    Relaxing stop along our route

    What a gem of a little campground. Stopped here 2 nights driving from NC to LA. I was the only person here those 2 nights. This place feels off grid with the convenience of hookups. Despite being small, it was very clean, everything worked as expected. Archery range, trails, nature center. Would come back here just to stay!

    Decent cell coverage. I stayed in site 1, there was a big clearing where I dropped the starlink - had great connection the entire visit.

    A GREAT PLACE FOR PRIMITIVE CAMPINF!

    The campground is a beautiful place, lots of trees for firewood. ATV/Walking trails. Picnic tables, porta johns and nature. A small lake where you can fish, It is Peaceful here. There is a gun range nearby so while your here you can get in some practice shooting. A convenient/food store is 1-2 miles up the road, totally in walking distance. A walmart is about 20-30 minutes away. So bring your Solar Panels so you have electricity and Enjoy Primitive Camping.

    Quiet and Peaceful

    Rangers and hosts are wonderful at this SC State Park. Serene setting on a lake, nice sized campsites. I stayed in campsite 11 which I was somewhat difficult to get get into so definitely only for smaller rigs, the other thing is you might now want to take campsite # 12 if they offer, the water, electric and sewer hookups for 11 are basically in campsite 12 front yard. I was here over two weeks and enjoyed

    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.
