If you want cable TV, you better keep on riding. If the cable works at all, you still can't use it. The driveway has some huge holes and your RV might drag the ground. There are a lot of rundown permament RV's. Sites and lanes are not marked well enough to see after dark. The WIFI is good and the staff is nice. The problems seem to be managment problems. An overnite stay maybe, but extended stay NO. There are not a lot of attractions in this area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a campground that before you check in, you should take a drive through. We checked in for one night and chose an area with a lake view. We were told there were many open sites in that area and to pick one. Out of about 30 open sites, we found one that was level enough we only needed to use boards on one side. The view is nice and there is a small dock you can walk out on and fish. The area near the lake I would term as almost a "low rent district". The rv's are old, really old and a lot appear to be weekend getaways for people. The nearest camper to us was two rows away and had two small dogs that did nothing but jump and bark on their leashes all afternoon, till dark when they were put in the camper and barked inside (at least we didn't have to hear them all night). I would not stay at this campground again. We were given very detailed directions on the telephone how to get into this park to avoid us stopping at another park next door. We should have did a drive through, then went to the one we saw as we drove in. Another lesson on camping! Also, I almost forgot to mention on the countertop as we checked in there is a sign that says WATCH OUT FOR ANTS. The desk person said that sign was there all year round and that she hadn't seen many because it was not "hot" yet. If you stay there when it's "hot", watch out for ants. Would I stay there again, No... We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Since this campground is only a couple of minutes off of I-95, we've used it a couple of times to overnight. There are a lot of run-down looking seasonals, but overall it's a good campground in a nice location. Bathrooms are old, but clean. Same for the laundry room. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Free wifi is a big plus in my book. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a campground not a RV park. It is back off I-95 so the traffic is not a big problem. The staff in the office were very nice. There are a lot of junky resident rv's in the park. Some of the sites are not level and some of the streets are rough. They are not paved. The restrooms are a disaster. Water backs up in the showers and some of the comodes do not flush properly. About half the machines in the laundry work. Lots of campers had trouble finding their assigned site because of poor marking. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A former KOA. Easy to get in and out of. Lots of trees, a boat ramp and jetty. Bathrooms were not well kept, trash piled up at sites as pick-up was not frequent enough. Sewer connection backed up on our site. Lots of seasonals and trailers up on blocks gave the park a run down apperance. Don't think I'll be back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Yes, ants, ants, ants. We stayed for one night. Rain = standing water in low areas. A big muddy mess. Many seasonal trailers mixed with open sites. More of a trailer park feel, not a resort feel. Playground was over run with ant hills and wasp nest. We will not stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a fish camp also and there were a lot of seasonals and fishing people. We just overnighted and it was OK for that. Pull thrus are not very level and muddy. Would probably overnight there again. Heard of an Ant problem but didn't have any problem just overnight. Lots of ants though. We camped here in a camper.

Ants! We had thousands inside when we woke up and so did many others. A lot of permanent campers, they must know something we didn't. Some sites overlook Lake Marion. We camped here in a camper.

We camped in the Lakeshore Campground. This is a very nice campground with very large sites. There were 2 drawbacks: The "swimming hole" has been closed because of alligators and the restrooms did NOT have "No Smoking" signs anywhere. I actually was taking a shower when a woman in the next shower stall started smoking IN the shower! It has always amazed me that people who want to be near nature by camping would so pollute the restrooms by smoking in them. Please smoke outside and put the butts in the trash. A lot of people bring boats here as there is great fishing in the lake and to ski. We do not boat but thoroughly enjoyed the view. Up I-95 at exit 102 is Santee National Wildlife refuge, which had a 3000 year old Indian Mound, which was cool. The first night we were here a racoon came into our screen room at dusk while we were right there and the lights and TV were on and started rummaging through our food box so make sure your food is locked up at all times, even while you are there. The second night an awesome wind/rain storm blew from across the lake, causing havoc with people's awnings and tents so make sure everything is well-staked and awnings are properly tilted down if you leave your site. There was a small "beach" near our site which many children waded into the lake from. This is definitely a great place to camp and get away. We did not even use our A/C as the temps were so pleasant--good to know if you tent. There are boat ramps near both campgrounds (Lakeshore and Cypress View). Cypress View is also near the park office and boat rentals. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is a wonderful park located right on the Santee Lakes. Plenty of hiking and biking trails and great out of the way places to just go off and find your own private fishing or swimming hole. The Rangers are very helpful and easy to deal with We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed in the Cypress View campground at Santee State Park. Cypress View was more convienient to the park office, store, etc. but seemed a bit busier than the Lakeshore campground, which was more secluded. Some sites were set up at strange angles to the road. I suggest contacting the park office about any sites they recommend for your type rig before making a reservation. There was a nice mountain bike trail that was on the easy side, however the singletrack section could be a moderate level if taken quickly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This State Park was very well run. Lots were all large, giving lots of room between campers. The staff was extremely friendly. Be prepared for lots of sand! The park actually has two seperate sites, and has boat ramp access. Santee Park provides a nice and quiet atmosphere to bring your family to. There isn't a pool, or many other fancy trapping. However, it's a clean and friendly park away from the noise of the interstate. This makes a nice weekend getaway, or stopover. We plan on returning many times. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

There are two campgrounds in the park. We stayed in the smaller Cypress View. It was very shady, and many sites have a beautiful view of the lake. Bug spray,citronella candles, etc are definite musts as it is exceptionally 'buggy'! Quiet, but lots of fishermen and hunters so they were stirring early in the morning. Not a lot for kids to do but they enjoyed the stay anyway. We camped here in a Tent.
