Great campground. Loved being so close to the waterway. Small flying bugs were bad. Was glad I had bug screens.

Beautiful, peaceful sight right on the water. SItes have level, concrete pads with plenty of space between sites. Very convenient dump station with its own hose for flushing your tank. Plus, extremely friendly and helpful campsite hosts!

Great campground with nice views to wake up to. Nice place to walk the dog and take in some nature. I wondered why the place was always booked and now I see why. It’s a beautiful place to sit by the water and take in the peaceful views.

Busy place, electric boxes have had broken covers for years. Hosts were hard working couple that kept things working and clean. $7 dump charge that costs nothing to provide will result in people dumping along roadways. No way to pay but exact change or check. Bad policy. Pier, boat launch, Palmetto Trail, and Santee Coastal Reserve just up the road... a hidden gem.
