    Weston Lake Recreation Area

    Nice sites!

    Very nice concrete pads; large sites with fire pit, grill, and picnic table. Gravel roads have washed out areas but not terrible. Very open and quiet. Several long-term residents.

    Sesquicentennial State Park Campground

    We will be back!

    Even though we had a few rainy days we could see the beauty of this park. Clean heated restrooms in Winter is a bonus. Lots of things to do for all ages. Helpful and friendly staff.

    Woodsmoke Family Campground

    Overnight Stop

    Ok for overnight stop but wouldn't be a travel destination. Most sites seem to be long term or permanent sites. Very close to neighbor site, with fire pit being extremely close. Water, Sewer, Power, WiFi

    Chester State Park Campground

    Campsites and views, oh my!

    First time staying at Chester State Park. Checked in at the Ranger’s station with friendly staff and a small store front with ice available. Picked pull through site 16. All 25 of the sites are on mostly level ground. The lake from the campground has a fairly new access via a ADA compliant walkway with lighting leading to swings, benches and Adirondack chairs surrounding a rock fire pit. There are benches facing the lake for sitting and or fishing and a new deck that provide even better views of the lake. The trails are well marked and wide that run along the lake edge. There is fishing, kayaks and canoes at the boat dock for rent and to our children’s disappointment no swimming in the lake. The other side of the park has the boat dock, playgrounds for the kiddos and plenty of grassy areas and picnic tables for sitting by the lake. Also there is a professional disc golf course on site. Last but not least the bathhouse is up to date, clean and well stocked.

    Sesquicentennial State Park Campground

    Needs improvements

    Not a big rig friendly area. Our 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. Had I known this ahead of time, I could have maybe pulled in another way. The service from another site was less than 3 feet from my power inlet to the camper. I called to make sure it would be ok to plug in there and they said no, even though no one used that site. The bathhouse was well below standards and really just unusable. I’ll pick another place if I’m ever in the area again.

    Crown Cove RV Park

    Keep Driving!

    Subpar; seems to cater to long term residents. For the 3 pages of rules and regulations I was expecting a pristine campground; what we found was a half paved parking lot and our lot was on a hill side which made using our full hookups going up hill. No fire pit! Must provide ur own, rules state belongings must be 3ft away from away from neighboring sites which is almost impossible with how close sites are. Pass it up! Keep Driving! Would have given less than one star if possible

    Military Park Shaw AFB Wateree Recreation Area and FamCamp

    Wateree Tent Camping

    This was my family’s first time tent camping in the cold weather and it wasn’t that bad. The lakeside tent area provided beautiful scenery with access to restrooms and showers. It wasn’t too crowded as it was military members only and you can’t beat the price for a lakeside spot. We would definitely go tent camping here again!

    Wateree Lake RV Park & Marina

    Better than I expected

    This is a park on the East side of Lake Wateree. Not far off l-77. Has what you need. Full hookups picnic table and a fire pit. The owners are trying hard to improve the park. They have a security gate to keep passers by out. They have a nice deck near the boat ramp and have a little bar in the office. There are a lot of campers that stay there. I could tell the privet along and are friendly which is very important to us. I will Go back sometime. Also had better than average/strong Wi-Fi!


Guide to Winnsboro

RV parks near Winnsboro, South Carolina provide easy access to Lake Wateree, a 13,800-acre reservoir known for its crappie and largemouth bass fishing opportunities.

What to do

Boating access: At Wateree Lake RV Park & Marina, guests enjoy direct lake access with a boat ramp and dock facilities. "This is a park on the East side of Lake Wateree. Not far off l-77. The owners have a nice deck near the boat ramp and have a little bar in the office," notes reviewer Charles F.

Hiking trails: The trail system behind Broad River Campgound offers secluded nature exploration. "There are a bunch of trails behind the campground. I don't think a lot of people knew the scope of how extensive the trail system was - but it was really pretty back there and we explored and found a lot of beautiful little places," according to reviewer Will J.

Swimming: Lake recreation includes designated swimming areas at select locations. "The beach area is super nice to spend a day on the water with your family," mentions Jake in his review of Wateree Lake RV Park & Marina.

What campers like

Shaded sites: The heavily wooded sections at certain parks provide relief from summer heat. "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," explains Chad L. about Wateree Lake RV Park.

Rural atmosphere: The countryside setting appeals to those seeking quiet surroundings. "We've stayed here two months and enjoyed it. The vibe is residential/family oriented. Felt safe. Felt reserved," reports Will J. about Broad River Campground.

Tips for camping with families

Dog-friendly areas: Many rv parks Winnsboro area welcome pets with dedicated facilities. "We got one of the spread out sites and quite liked our spot.
