We really enjoyed our stay here! The campground was clean and well kept with nice, level RV spots. They even had a fun scavenger hunt for guests, which was such a great touch! The location is a little further from the beach than we expected, but it was nice having full hookups and laundry on-site. One thing to note — you definitely have to be a cat lover, because there are quite a few friendly cats roaming around. Overall, a great stay and we’d definitely come back!

I kept hearing great things about this campground, so we decided to try it out. First, if you have young kids, it offers great entertainment. However, like most campgrounds, they don't enforce the rules. Young kids were driving golf carts, dogs running loose etc etc. Didn't say anything because you'll just be accused of being a Karen. If noise bothers you, don't stay here. They are located right off I-95 and it's loud. Lastly, they have one bathhouse. I walked in Sunday morning and a man was dressing in the ladies room with what I assume was his wife/girlfriend. Very awkward, but not the campgrounds fault. Just a weird experience. Would I stay here again? Possibly, but it's not in my top 10 campground list.

First time visiting, we could not have been happier. Cabin was nice and clean. The entire grounds were clean. BBQ cookoff was on Saturday, and afterwards the grounds were still clean, not a piece of trash anywhere. We started planning our next trip before we left.

I rated the sites rather than the rooms. This was a great place for us to stay for a few nights. The sites were large and had all of the amenities we needed. The staff members we interacted with were very friendly and helpful. We didn’t use the pool or recreation which was available but we were impressed with how clean everything was. We will definitely want to camp here again.

We stayed last week at Palmetto Shores Resort. This was our third visit with our two dogs. Our cabin was clean, well equipped and and comfortable. The dogs loved swimming in the lake and playing in the dog park and watching all the squirrels running around. We enjoyed going to the pool and walking through the resort. A very relaxing and enjoyable visit!

My family has been coming to palmetto shores for 6 years now. I am very happy with the new upgrades and such BUT I am sad to say we will NOT be back. We had reservations at the beginning of the year (as we do every year) got into our cabin last weekend and it was great. Unfortunately my daughter became VERY sick and I had to leave and take her to the hospital. 104.2 fever. I called the campground office to let them know and advise them that my daughter had come down with the Flu and for the safety and well-being of other campers and kids we would pack up and leave. I asked for a refund OR a night credit since we had already paid in full. I was told no refunds or credits would be given since it was in the policy. Which I understand about rules and policies, however I do believe that I did the right thing in keeping the staff and other campers safe. I guess I should have stayed and got my money worth and gotten everyone else sick! Sad that the new owners value money over health and safety.

The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because it wasn’t noted in the description that it was a handicap unit and there was not a grill! I’m pretty sure the description stated grills at all sites and cabins, so we brought food to cook out and ended up having to cook it in the oven!! The cabin we ended up getting was the handicap cabin and we weren’t aware of that prior to booking. I think it should be noted in the reservations that this is a “wheelchair accessible” unit!! Everything was fine with the unit except my fiancé is 6’3 and everything is wheelchair accessible, Including the sink and the mirror. (He literally bent over double to brush his teeth 😛) He took it with a grain of salt and we made the best of it!! Everything else was exceptional as usual!!

Took my wife and daughter here for spring break. 1st time ever. LOVED IT!!!!! Loved it so much tried to extend our stay, but they were booked solid. They have an arcade, lots of outdoor games, park with all kinds of stuff for the kids. We will for sure come back. But be more prepared than we were this time. Highly recommended. If I could rate 100 stars, I would.

You can tell the new owners are working hard to better the campground - the arcade room and outdoor games were great for our kids. They were disappointed that the snack shop and pools were still closed for renovation, but it looks like they will be open soon. The bathhouses definitely need renovation and a little more security. A flimsy barely-locked bathroom stall door between the shower and the outside world didn't feel the safest. Easy boat storage and easy launching of the boat to fish on Lake Marion. It was difficult to get our camper level on our not-very-level site (53) but otherwise things were fine. There was no cable hookups. Kids liked having their bikes but their skateboard and scooter were unusable as all the roads are gravel. If you're looking for a campground with planned activities for kids/entertainment, this is not the one. If you're looking for a quiet, easygoing fishing-based campground, this is the place for you. Employees were available when needed and always friendly.

Spent a week here and we had an awesome time! Great yard games and arcade room. Rented one of their golf carts for a day. Enjoyed catching catfish from their dock on Lake Marion. There are 2 bath houses, one has washers/dryers. Owners are very responsive and personable. They have been owners for about a year and have made the campground really nice. Hope to get back there in the future.
