Several RV parks surround Pinewood, South Carolina, offering diverse options for motorhome travelers. Palmetto Shores RV Resort in Summerton provides full hookups with 50-amp service on spacious sites that accommodate larger rigs. Santee Lakes KOA, open year-round, features big-rig friendly sites with full hookups and convenient pull-through access. Cypress View Campground at Santee State Park offers 50-amp electric and water hookups on level sites, though without sewer connections at individual sites. Hill's Landing & RV Park maintains 60 sites with full hookups including both 30-amp and 50-amp electrical service. "Very nice concrete pads; large sites with fire pit, grill, and picnic table. Gravel roads have washed out areas but not terrible," noted one RV camper about the region's campgrounds.
Most RV parks in the area welcome pets and provide essential amenities like showers, restrooms, and trash service. Dump stations are available at Palmetto Shores, Santee Lakes KOA, and Cypress View Campground for those without sewer hookups. Cell service varies throughout the region, with stronger signals at parks closer to Interstate 95. One traveler mentioned needing blocks to level their rig at certain parks, noting that "if you have a large camper/RV it may be tough to get your rig level." Reservations are recommended, especially during peak seasons, as many parks fill quickly. Access roads to most RV campgrounds are well-maintained, though some secondary roads may have rough patches. Propane is available at select locations, and most parks operate year-round with full amenities.

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 Pinewood
Camping near Pinewood, South Carolina encompasses diverse options from lakeside sites to rural farmlands. Located in the middle of the Sandhills region at approximately 200 feet above sea level, the area experiences hot, humid summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F and mild winters that rarely dip below freezing. Seasonal considerations affect campsite selection, as summer campers often seek water access at Lake Marion or Lake Moultrie for relief from humidity.
What to do
Fishing at local lakes: Both Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie provide excellent fishing opportunities. At Hill's Landing & RV Park, one visitor noted it's "highly recommend for fishing!" while another explained the campground is "located on a canal" connecting both lakes, making it "perfectly situated between the two."
Hiking the Palmetto Trail: Located about 5 miles from Johnston Landing, this trail offers impressive natural features. A reviewer at Johnston Landing Campground & Cabins mentioned, "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)."
Swimming options: Several campgrounds offer swimming areas, though quality varies. A visitor to Santee Lakes KOA noted, "Great playground along the shore. If it wasn't near freezing, there was a nice spot for swimming."
What campers like
Wildlife viewing: The area provides opportunities to observe native animals. At Palmetto Shores RV Resort, a camper shared, "We both really enjoyed our stay. The dogs loved the dog park and I appreciated having bags to pick up after them... Just a very woodsy cozy place."
Farm-based camping: For a different experience, some sites offer agricultural settings. At Black Pearl Farms, one reviewer simply stated, "Fresh blueberries!" while another noted it offers "Beautiful, well maintained site beside the Edisto river, just as advertised!"
Natural surroundings: State parks in the region maintain more natural settings than commercial RV parks. A visitor to Poinsett State Park Campground wrote, "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."
What you should know
Road conditions: Some parks have challenging access roads. One camper at Poinsett State Park Campground cautioned, "It's not easy to get in here with anything bigger than a full size pickup. The park road is very narrow and uneven with lots of large pot holes."
Cleanliness variations: Bathroom facilities vary widely between campgrounds. A visitor noted of Cypress View Campground, "I've seen better bath houses," while another mentioned of Poinsett State Park, "On the topic of the bathroom, the toilets were CLEAN! And I mean we were there for 24 hours and the bathroom was cleaned at least twice."
Seasonal crowds: Summer months bring more visitors, particularly at lakefront sites. One camper observed of Cypress View Campground, "Downside is that it's super crowded. Apparently all the fishermen drag their families in along with their boats."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several campgrounds offer play areas for children. A visitor to Santee Lakes KOA wrote, "Right by the playground. Really nice facilities," making it convenient for families with young children.
Field space: Some campgrounds include open areas for recreation. A reviewer at Poinsett State Park noted, "Shaded, a large field for the children to run and play with their new-found friends, and a nice recreational building available for campers to use, complete with games, books, tables, and electricity."
Swimming areas: Lake access provides cooling options during hot months. A camper at Cypress View Campground mentioned, "Nice park but gets super crowded. the sites we had you could definitely have more than 6 people to a site and many sites did just that. never far to a bathroom and easy access to the water."
Tips from RVers
Site selection considerations: Many RV parks near Pinewood, South Carolina have space limitations. A reviewer at Big Rig Friendly RV Resort shared, "This place was well thought out when it was being built, lots of space, great level sites, nice dog park."
Pull-through availability: For larger rigs, certain parks offer easier access. At RV's Acres, a camper noted, "Several 30amp sites with on-site water & plenty of space for more dispersed type off-grid camping."
Leveling challenges: Uneven sites can cause setup issues. A visitor to Poinsett State Park cautioned, "We camped here for Mother's Day weekend. Our camper is 29 ft, with no slide outs and just an awning. There was no way to extend our awning, because the trees were too close. A slide out wouldn't have been able to open out."
