    Palmetto Shores RV Resort near Summerton provides full hookup sites with 50-amp electric service, water, and sewer connections for recreational vehicles. Several miles east, RV's Acres offers more limited amenities with 30-amp electric and water hookups but no sewer connections at its two available sites. Hill's Landing & RV Park maintains 60 RV sites with full hookups including 50-amp service, though some sites have tight spacing between units. Johnston Landing Campground accommodates larger motorhomes with pull-through sites and full hookup capabilities. "Very nice concrete pads; large sites with fire pit, grill, and picnic table. Gravel roads have washed out areas but not terrible," noted one visitor about a nearby RV park.

    Throughout the region, RV travelers should note varying cell service quality, with most parks reporting adequate Verizon coverage but spotty service from other carriers. Dump stations are available at Palmetto Shores and several state parks within driving distance. Many campgrounds remain open year-round, though summer humidity makes spring and fall more comfortable for RV camping. According to one camper, "The plumbing at each site is housed in whiskey barrels which we thought was a clever idea. Most sites had sewer as well." Big rig access requires careful navigation on some secondary roads leading to campgrounds, particularly after heavy rainfall when gravel access roads may develop washouts or soft spots.

      Taylor's Landing

      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!

      Taw Caw Campground and Marina

      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.

      Santee Lakes KOA

      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!

      Poinsett State Park Campground

      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 Summerton

    RV camping near Summerton, South Carolina centers around Lakes Marion and Moultrie, with both bodies of water connected by the Diversion Canal. The region maintains average summer temperatures between 75-90°F from May through September, while winter nights can drop to 30-40°F. Most campgrounds remain open year-round, though spring and fall offer the most comfortable camping conditions with lower humidity levels.

    What to do

    Fishing opportunities: Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie provide excellent fishing locations for striped bass, channel catfish, and bream. At Hill's Landing & RV Park, which sits between both lakes, visitors appreciate the "beautiful, clean" environment that's "highly recommend for fishing!" according to Cathy P.

    Boating access: Many campgrounds offer boat rentals for exploring the waterways. Stuart K. notes that at Johnston Landing Campground & Cabins, "the good people here have you covered as they offer a paddle boat, kayaks and a row boat for rent," making water activities accessible even if you don't bring your own vessel.

    Hiking trails: The Palmetto Trail lies approximately 5 miles from some lakeside campgrounds and features sunken giant cypress trees. A visitor describes it as "one of the best hikes in all of South Carolina" where "you'll be able to witness first hand the sunken giant Cypress trees, amazing bird watching (Ospreys and Herons in particular)."

    What campers like

    Spacious sites: Many campgrounds provide generous spacing between RV sites. At Palmetto Shores RV Resort, Douglas T. mentions, "We both really enjoyed our stay. The dogs loved the dog park and I appreciated having bags to pick up after them... Big park with a nice views of the water."

    Wildlife viewing: The natural setting attracts various wildlife species. Mark B. at RV's Acres reports, "The last time I was here (4 days ago) 2 does & a fawn came lopping/walking through the property. There is a beautiful private pond on property and the owner does allow catch/release."

    Peaceful settings: Campers consistently mention the quiet atmosphere. At Black Pearl Farms, John B. describes the camping experience as "Beautiful, well maintained site beside the Edisto river, just as advertised! Private, peaceful, just what we were looking for."

    What you should know

    Site amenities: Different campgrounds offer varying hookup levels. At Tiny Town RV Campground, a reviewer noted, "All the sites have 20, 30 and 50 amp power, and a water hook up. The plumbing at each site is housed in whiskey barrels which we thought was a clever idea. Most sites had sewer as well."

    Seasonal considerations: While most RV sites near Summerton, South Carolina operate year-round, certain attractions have peak seasons. At Black Pearl Farms, Robert G. simply recommends visitors "Come in May" for "Fresh blueberries!"

    Access challenges: Some campgrounds require careful navigation on secondary roads. Kathleen R. warns about finding Black Pearl Farms: "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."

    Tips for camping with families

    Recreation facilities: Some campgrounds feature dedicated recreation areas for children. Douglas T. mentions that Palmetto Shores RV Resort had "a play ground, cabins, games. Just a very woodsy cozy place."

    Water activities: Lakefront campgrounds offer swimming and beach access. Claire O. notes that "Palmetto shores has a nice outdoor activity area, a nice lake beach and a really nice pool and lazy River."

    Dog-friendly options: Many campgrounds welcome pets with dedicated areas. Alesha H. describes Cedar Cross RV Campground as having "2 dog runs, fire pit, sand box for the kiddos" making it suitable for both children and pets.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection matters: When booking at Palmetto Shores RV Resort, Claire O. advises, "be mindful of the site you pick! Our sites were right next to the highway, I will say though we did tune the noise out the longer we stayed."

    Advance booking: During peak seasons, reservations are recommended. At Big Rig Friendly RV Resort, Lisa E. shares, "We were able to reserve online and even pick our camping spot. It has full hookups and we were able to find the spot easily even in the dark."

    Food options: Some campgrounds feature on-site dining. Linda H. at Palmetto Shores RV Resort mentions, "Large sites with full hook-ups. Lots of amenities on the premises, including a really good restaurant!"
