Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to do at the nearby Santee State Park, which is famous for its flooded cypress forest and excellent bass fishing. Golfers are in luck, as the area is home to several championship golf courses that are accessible year-round and offer varying levels of difficulty. For those who enjoy nature watching, the Santee National Wildlife Refuge provides miles of trails where you might spot migratory birds or alligators. The lake itself is a hub for boating, kayaking, and sunset photography.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is an exceptional choice for anglers and boaters looking to spend their days on the massive Santee-Cooper lake system. It also appeals to snowbirds and retirees seeking a quiet, friendly community for a seasonal stay in a temperate climate. Because of its proximity to major travel routes, it serves as a high-quality stop for road trippers, yet its peaceful atmosphere encourages longer visits for those wanting to fully immerse themselves in the charm and recreation of rural South Carolina.

Site 43. Another wonderful SC state park. The campground was very nice. Bathhouse was older, but in good repair, hot water and very clean. The inner sites are not terribly private, but all are pretty large. 41 (pull through) and 43 both have great views of the lake. Beautiful!
River Run
Great Lake views, campsites’ electrical and water hookups work properly. No the campground is not level, no there are not perfectly pristine cement rectangular sites🤷🏼♀️ who cares??? I don’t expect perfection while camping. Website a little glitchy and I would prefer trash cans availablity throughout but have fallen in love with the place and staff! I have camped there several times😃My spoiled dogs’ favorite campground🐾so a winner for me.

Lovely Lake! Love the Pier. We came to fish we are definitely getting nibbles but have not caught anything yet. Been here 3 times. However, the scenery is beautiful.
