Campground Reviews

Our stay was pleasant and somewhat peaceful. Big problem with ants getting into everything. Told park employee about our picnic table being broken and unusable. Was not corrected during our 3 day stay.

Michael, the manager was fantastic and so helpful. The entire staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. The campground is well maintained & kept up and bathrooms are very clean. Highly recommend a pizza from the little restaurant! My only suggestion for KOA corporate is investing in more gravel for their sites. It rained while we were there and we had a sandy mess.

Small sites. Our picnic table was rotten and falling apart. Very nice staff!

Beautiful view of Lake Marion from our site. Friendly staff. The only drawback is that the RV park continues to have ants and ant hills everywhere. REALLY need to take care of the ant situation, PLEASE!

Nice campground, lots of shade and great views of the lake. Facilities are clean, but could use a little updating.

Fantastic spot!! Loved it!!

We stopped here for a quick overnight...the sites here are not at all level..the site we were put on wouldn't work and we moved to a different one. For a quick stopover campground this isn't it

the maintenance leaves much to be desired. The bathrooms weren’t air conditioned as advertised. The hand dryer didn’t work in the middle bathroom as well. The sites were too sandy that created a mess in our camper everyday. The fire pits weren’t cleaned out either. I understand that SC has a lot of bugs this time of year consider hanging bat houses for a natural & efficient pest control.

The staff was helpful and accommodated our needs. Loved being able to see the beautiful lake and trees.

Terrible experience! Ants invaded our new motorhome and power fluctuated during entire stay not allowing us to use our Starlink.

Site was just ok bathroom was older and no ac. There was no fish clean station. Had a tough time leveling my camper looked run down. Put put was unplayable pool look dirty. The people were friendly but no knowledge about fishing.

The campground was very clean, quiet and very convenient

All employees were very kind and helpful! Only complaint was the dog poop we found on our tent site that sadly ended up on my kids shoes while putting up our tent.

Staff is friendly and welcoming but the campground is well past its prime. Bathhouse, while mostly clean, is old and run down appearing and desperate for an upgrade. Ants repeatedly infested my RV. Never had that happen before anywhere. Grounds are not well maintained.

Water pressure is too low

Ez on and off 95 . Clean shady campground on the water . We enjoy our stays there

Loved the new cabins. They are lovely. Thoughts: beds are incredibly hard and plastic on them makes for a rough night. Optional Linen service would be nice. Would stay again.
Sep 13, 2025
Checkin was smooth…Enjoyed the lake view. The campground roads and sites could be much better especially premium lake view sites with concrete pads.
Sep 13, 2025
Enjoyed the campground on the lake. Very peaceful and convenient to the interstate.
Sep 12, 2025
Stayed in a deluxe cabin it was clean and very comfortable

Short, but very nice. Great handicap shower/bathroom!!clean!!
Sep 11, 2025
Very clean level shaded sites. Staff are super helpful and friendly. Their Hunts Bros. Pizza hit the spot after a day of traveling. Definitely recommend it!

1)We were not allowed to set up our tent at the tent area and had to use an RV pad of clay which made cleaning the bottom of the tent very difficult 2)The bath house facility was clean and very nice, however, the shower areas were lacking a bench and sufficient hooks to hang clothes 3)the hand dryer in the ladies room was inoperable 4)The biting flies were terrible 4) An RV site is unacceptable!!!

we had a beautiful site facing the lake surrounded by trees amd natural beauty. wonderfully relaxing. The staff, especially Mike were attentive.We loved Santee!
Sep 09, 2025
We always love our stay at Santee Koa, the Staff is awesome and the pizza is so delicious �
Sep 09, 2025
Overall all the park was nice. But it could use a good bit of love by the lake. The sitting area with the outdoor seating built out of wood looked really bad. The bathrooms could use some updated work. You can actually see into the next shower stall from the one that I had used.
Sep 08, 2025
we Love Staying at Santee Lakes KOA!! We Love and Appreciate Michael and His Entire Staff . They All Make Sure We Have Everything we Need and let us Know They Are There With Us At All Times!!!! Thank You!!!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU ALL EVRY MUCH!!!

The checks In ladies were friendly and helpful. We ordered food at the store and it was good.
Sep 08, 2025
The stay was great .The camp host and all the employees that we met were very friendly.The only problem we had was the shower room was so hot that you could barely stand to go in there.It was like the heat was turned on highs d they need to put benches in the showers so you have a place to put your clothes and towels

The campground and cabin was very clean. Friendly and helpful staff!

The staff was very friendly and the grounds were clean. I brought an ant issue to the staff (and yes I know we're out in nature) but they had gotten in my tent and bit my mom's legs pretty bad. I just brought it up so they could possibly spray before it happens to anyone else and she didn't dismiss my concern at all. She genuinely responded with concern. I always enjoy staying here.

Great campground, well run and maintained. Nice pool and beach on lake. Also great pizza delivered to your door. Beach would have been nice, if not for the biting flies.Nice for Labor Day, Families but no wild parties. Price reasonable.
Sep 04, 2025
Very nice campground. Nice and peaceful with the lake and food to order

My family enjoyed our. stay very much

Wonderful overnight stop, campground was nice and staff very friendly!
Sep 03, 2025
We enjoyed our first visit at the Santee Koa however, and we would have loved it if we had the option of getting a larger cabin.
Sep 02, 2025
The staff is friendly and helpful. Ants are a big issue , we woke up the first morning with a swarm of sugar ants in our unit. The staff came out and sprayed which helped. Bathrooms do not have A/C except for the front one by the pool. Lake area needs a bit of work. I do enjoy staying here . But feel it is going downhill.
Sep 02, 2025
The only complaint I had was the WiFi. The tv’s did not work due to no signal. Other than that, we had a wonderful time. Park was clean and quiet, staff was very polite.
Sep 02, 2025
I pick a spot when I reserved my site but when I got there it was not my favorite site and the gave me a choice of a couple of different spots very happy thanks

Needsbanlotnof up grading the swings down by the playground are broken the volleyball area was grown up had weeds in it that would hurt your feet. The hot tub was broken.
Sep 02, 2025
Informed an employee Saturday morning whin the office opened. about drugs being done on a campsite. She said she would tell manager about it. Nothing was done about the situation. Kids and adults should not have to walk buy people smoking up there site .
Sep 02, 2025
Staff was friendly. Sites were very close together and not clean. Walking my dogs I had to avoid poop in multiple areas. Bags were provided in multiple areas. Broken benches and wires coming out of the ground.
Sep 02, 2025
Geat as usual. Staff was friendly and accommodating, grounds were clean, food was good.
Sep 02, 2025

Beautiful park close to the interstate, easy in and out. Located on Lake Marion, beautiful beach, scenic views and peaceful. We were in H2 site and had great views of the beach and water. We will definitely be back again
