Summerton, South Carolina Campground | Santee / Santee Lakes KOA Journey

Welcome to the Santee / Santee Lakes KOA!

Relaxation awaits you at this new KOA with more than 120 Pull-Thru RV Sites, shaded by oaks draped in Spanish moss, tall pines and tropical palmettos. Wander down to the campground's scenic lakefront along the north shore of Lake Marion (the largest lake in South Carolina), where you can settle in for a picturesque sunset. Visit with other campers at the inviting pool or community fire pit, or simply enjoy a game of cornhole or carpet golf. Your pet will enjoy exercising at Kamp K9! The campground sits about 100 miles from both the North Carolina and Georgia state lines, with quick and easy access off I-95. It's just a few minutes' drive to restaurants, shops and several championship golf courses. Historic Charleston, only an hour away, has distinctive architecture, Civil War sites and delicious restaurants. Due to the rural nature of our location, there is not a cable provider in the area, therefore, we are unable to provide cable to our campers. We do provide WiFi. Pool: Memorial Weekend - Labor Day Weekend. Max pull thru: 85 feet. Please call for reservations for sites over 65 feet.

We spent 5 nights there. Other then the. Weather and the mayflies (all of which isn’t the owners fault) it was beautiful and clean. I will say this on the “Con” side... they don’t sell tshirts of their campground... 7/22/2021

Love this place. Just wish the bathroom would have been finished. 7/21/2021

Scenic campground, even though we only stayed one rainy night, you can see the beauty potential. We did not check out the restrooms however there appeared to be several buildings. The beach is geared toward the younger generation. 7/20/2021
