First day we had to throw out food due to ants. We were there for a wedding lost electricity for several hour it was hot. We had to set up the TV's because they had not been set up yet. We had ants in the beds. The cabin was new that was nice. Not worth what we paid!!!!

Great stay, excellent pizza delivered to your campsite. I will definitely stay there again when I am in the area.

Campground is in an ideal location on the lake. Just wish management was doing ANY pest management. The trees are COVERED in ants. We knew of the issue and brought $50 of our own poison to make the site tolerable but we still got bit up Power and water both shut off at different parts during the weekend with no warning or apologies. Hopefully things will improve once construction is comple

The site had a lot of tree Debree which could have been blown off prior to arrival. Too many ants. Lost power for a few hours on the 12th which forced me to use my generator which was an added expense. If there could be some form of credit for in inconvenience that would be greatly apricated.

When we stayed at the KOA in Charleston we received a text when the water had to be turned off for repair. It would have been nice to receive a text message about the power loss and when it came back on. We were using our generator for the fridge and fans for our senior dog. We were sitting there for 30 minutes before one of our neighbors told us the power had returned. Just saying.

Good area for quick access to 95.

Still a lot of contruction going on, bathrooms with no hot water after being out all summer and the rates for the cabins are high considering you don't have alot of extras and don't include sheets and towels. I'd expect to pay those prices at the beach, not at a Santee campground.

Our biggest complaint was the ants in our tent spot. At $50 a night, it'd be nice if they at least put down some ant deterent

We’ve stayed here several times now… We’ve had a different issue every time we stay. The last was construction that started early, but was not noted to guest (online or at check-in). They were also working on the community center and the contractors blocked the entry to the dog park. We haven’t felt valued as customers any of our stays. Only reason they get two stars instead of one is

All good. Sorry it was only for one night!

We were not pleased with our stay. The sites were small and crampy. All dirt. We paid extra for "lake view" but all we saw was the camper beside us. We also had an ant infestation second day.

Good campground! The site was a bit uneven, but certainly workable. Check in was smooth. I only stayed one night, so I didn’t get to experience much in the way of amenities.

Campground is infested with ants. My camper is full of them in just one night. Would not recommend staying there.

We arrived to the campground to find it under extensive repair. The first site we were taken to was too small for our fifth wheel despite our length being noted on our reservation. It was soft dirt that nearly got us stuck. The second site they took us to was not much better. The sewage was not useable because it had just been installed and I was told not to use it. The cost should have been half.

We just stayed annoyed however the location is just fantastic right on the lake. The camp crowd seemed to be nice and clean they were. They are making some improvement at the time but overall it was a pleasant overnight stay.

We were disappointed in the cabin we stayed in due to the following…the floors were very dirty, the sofa bed apparently had sand under the cushions, the water had that sulfur smell, there was a used bar of soap in the shower and the tv needs to have better viewing channels (when I am away, I do not like to use my streaming services on other TVs).

Only overnight but had a beautiful view of lake Marion. All staff is very accommodating.

Could'nt do much outside for fighting gnats and ants. Asked to be moved because the spot we were on was covered with roots that caused a lot of trip hazzards for my disabled wife. we ended up on a lot with no sewer and not much in price difference. Would not have booked if we had known they were under construction they turned the water off for at least 4 hours one day.

Our stay was great !!! The park is beautiful and very clean.The staff is very friendly, the reason I gave it a 4 is because if you plan on watching tv there internet is bad. But all and all the park is great

Great site. Noise level was fine despite all of your renovations. I know you guys are excited about the new office area. Our only complaint would be the small black ants that invaded our camper. Over all stay was good. Thanks

We stayed in cabin 6. Floor was not swept food and crumbs and fridge and freezer were dirty with food crumbs. The wifi kept disconnecting and they allowed loud music thumping on sunday until i called and complained with a headache.

We love Santee Lakes KOA for the lake and the staff. The constant ant infestation that somehow comes for a 150 mile drive home is really getting old. We put down ant granules before we pull onto a site and we still end up covered in ant bites and bombing our camper once we get home. The constant construction mess is fine and has us excited about the future but the ants need mitigation.

Realize remodeling in process. Gem in the rough. Permanent spots really need cleaned up. Beach needs cleaned. Trash about. Ants everywhere .Staff super nice.
Aug 30, 2026
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The grounds were great with lots of trees, which made a very peaceful stay. I would definitely stay at this KOA campground again. Thank you!

Office staff very friendly, the staff member who showed me to my site was not. Ruby was awesome, she went out of her way to help me with directions. Unfortunately I ended up with an ant infestation, do you spray routinely for ants or other critters? Once all the construction is done I expect the campground will be more esthetically pleasing.

Great place to stay. Enjoyed our two days.
Aug 28, 2026
Love this location. Looking forward to seeing the upgrades when the construction is completed
Aug 27, 2026
too many bugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! couldn't go outside at all! Seriously, not at all. construction everywhere. starlink cut out constantly so watching tv or using internet were very annoying which was especially annoying since we were stuck in our camper because of the clouds of bugs!.
Aug 26, 2026
Lots of bugs, one pool looked rough, the other was closed. Friendly staff, could be beautiful. Overall I haven't been impressed with KOA as a whole. I am a full time RV'er and will soon take the stance of no more KOA's

Needs a little TLC. People nice but sites need some work.

Awesome campground. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. Conveniently located off 95.

Not to good, out of 150 shaded spots we got one totally in the sun and during the day we could only get the RV down to 84 degrees. Lots of construction, very noisy starting early.

Staff very nice. Lake front very nice view but we got infested with ants!!!!
Aug 19, 2026
The whole place is run down, and not unkept well. I can understand the construction that was going on at the cabins. But ants were infesting all of our things. Clothes bedding all of our food inside our coolers. We were switched sites but then were told it’s just part of nature. Bed bugs all on the side of buildings and on chairs and the playscape. I get bugs, I understand nature, this was more

I stayed many years at this campground in the 1990s and 2000s but moved back north for many years. I was suprised to see it hasn't changed much but was disappointed with all the construction during my 2 month stay this summer and you charged prices almost identical to Palmetto Shores and they have alot more amenities and no constuction. I still loved my visit, it brought back many memories.

Rented small cabin, it was clean and nice. I felt for $500 for two nights I should not have to bring my own linen, I enjoyed it but for that money I will stay in a hotel. The camp staff were extremely friendly and helpful, thoroughly enjoyed that aspect. The pool area was a bit unkept and could use some work, again for the money it should have been cleaned and kept better in my opinion.

This is a nice park. Owners are obviously putting a lot of time and money into improvements. Once finished, it will be great. I gave it 4 stars because our site (lake front) needed some grading and gravel. The roads could use some gravel or paved. Also, sites are a little closer than what we like. If the park was full, it would be less enjoyable. With that said, I would recommend this campground to others.
