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

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.
TravelerAwesome park with many trails and a pond for the kids to swim!
ScoutWas a nice experience. Quite and friendly neighbors. Sites were gravel and level. Bath house were clean and well maintained. Enjoyed my stay.
TravelerThis 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.
TravelerIt was okay roots all in the site but a lot of shade
GuideWe live nearby and decided to go on a whim. Smaller sites but clean and friendly staff. The pond was fun to kayak.
ScoutI 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.
GuideWe went for a short weekend trip because it’s close to home (30 minutes) This is a great little place to relax and unwind. We had unseasonably warm December weather in the 70°s. The park is better suited for small rigs, although we did see a couple large motor homes that struggled to navigate the narrow road, trees, and tight turns. There are several excellent sites on the lake, which is for fishing or kayaking. The sites are not all level, so pay attention to the description on the park website. We had a site that was nicely level side to side, but pretty sloped front to back. Bath house is typical state park bath house. Things to do: very short hikes (more like walks), fishing, kayaking, playground, history, statues. We love this great little park!
TravelerThis quaint campground is convenient to the bustling Charlotte metro area, or just relax for a few days in this small , historic area. Sites are not plentiful or level and it is tight backing in, but the campground is well cared for. Two trails as well. We love this place and will be back.
GuideNice, small, respectable campground close to Charlotte NC. Sites are paved, but dont expect completely level. Nice pond and back story as the Park's namesake is the boyhood home of Andrew Jackson (you know, the dude on your $20 bill). Small nice museum, nice walking trail, decent facilities. I would return.
GuideThe 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!
ScoutLike the area and camp ground is fairly clean and maintained. There are only a handful of level sites and luckily I booked one sight unseen.
GuideSmall park but hosts all the necessitates. Sites are on one tight loop in circling the bathhouse. Very busy on the weekends but quite during the week. Best for compact campers/ rv's, our 35' skoolie made it but barely. Multiple nature trails & a small lake for fishing or kayaking/canoeing.
GuideStaff 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.
LegendThis 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!
ScoutCamp hosts were very nice and helpful. They even let us know that a hosting job was open in a few days but we are on the move and have to leave, else it would be pretty awesome and quiet!
GuideLoved the campground. Spread out, nice and peaceful. Bathrooms and showers were not the cleanest, but you are camping. We had site 88 which was great. Plenty of room for two trucks, 32 foot camper and a 19 ft boat. I will say it would have been much nicer if they would cut the shoreline to give you a nice view of the lake. Maintenance was needed to the back in spot at 88 as it has some really deep ruts.
ScoutThe campground was well cared for, but very small and many of the sites were very close together. Particularly our lot which was very difficult to level our Popup, even though it was a pull through site. The sites closer to the water were very pretty and we did enjoy the many fishing spots.
GuideThis Campsite is absolutely beautiful, we stayed during labor day weekend so it was really crowded and we like that because it makes us feel safer. Well we came home and everyone was gone except for 5 campers. We decided to go out to dinner and when we came back we immediately noticed that our tent strings were tied around 2 trees, this occurred around 10pm and there was no way I was going to be out and about. Me and the husband decided to stay in the car and wait it out but we just didn't have a very good feeling. I know it maybe just a prank but it still scared us. I will say this camp is absolutely stunning and has the best scenery. Even a gorgeous golfcourse across from us.
RangerThe campground is nice to roam with a wonderful playground. Events are held at an amphitheater by the day use area. Almost all campsites are heavily shaded but navigation with a larger RV would be difficult. Lots of trails but they get swampy after rain. Abundant wildlife including copperheads. Decent fishing for crappie and bass. I used to live a1/4 mile away and it was convenient for friends to visit and escape Charlotte, NC.
