This place is run by people who speak little or no English and there are piles of junk cars everywhere ...major electrical issues on every site and sewerage problems on every site ...also has a run down shower house and very poor maintained property ...do not stay here very unsafe. - Michael71

Apr 2008 - $15.00

This park is acceptable for an overnight stay. There are piles of construction debris scattered here and there throughout the park. The 30 amp wiring is poorly wired at some sites. The advertised "new" shower house appears unfinished and has a hole where a doorknob or latch should be and a toilet sitting on the porch. The pull through sites are fairly level, the road noise is high and ambiance is nil. The owner accepts the Passport America discount. I would never pay the $30 full charge to stay here. - RV Vagabond

I stayed at this campground on June 29, 2018. It was a nice place to camp. We caught fish on the pier one night. Kayaking up to the creek was the best. Bath house was clean and recently updated. Campsite was level and grass. My family will be back! - Fishingtyler

Told me on phone that she has a lake front site. When we drove 1 1/2 miles down a washed out muddy road; we could not believe what we saw. Very run down, old permanent trailers. Duck poop everywhere you walk. Don't waste your fuel to get there, not to mention the muddy road. - xflyhighx

Elliott's Landing is a small private campground with 48 site most were 50 amp service all with water and sewage. They are located on Lake Marion near Rimini SC part of the Santee Cooper Lakes System. It was established in 1945 when the Santee Cooper Lakes were flooded making it the oldest campground on the lakes. The sites are all full hook ups with plenty of space for my 33 foot fifth wheel and tow vehicle. The road into the campground is about 1 mile of gravel road with potential of plenty of dust and or a little messy if there is a heavy rain. The sites are level grassy pads with a sandy base some shady sites with most being limited shade. The roads in the campground are easy to maneuver for a big rig. The sites on the lake are pull in and back out the other sites are all pull thru. They have a 300 foot fishing dock, a boat launch, a general store and two bath houses. I watched my brother catching some large shell crackers and catfish off the bank at his camp site. During the spring and summer it is reported that the dock is a fishing hot spot with plenty of action. The Verizon Wireless reception was good with a solid 4G connection. Over the air TV reception was good I was able to pick up all the major networks and more. I stayed at Elliott's Landing March 2017 for several weeks. I found it to be a great place to stay. A lot of the sites were long term residents but only a few of them actually stayed in the campground the others showed up with their boats for the weekends to enjoy some fishing and relaxing time. The area is a little remote with the nearest shopping area a 20 mile drive to Manning. - Andy52

This park has raised it's prices way past the accommodation they offer. No sewer, no WiFi in campground, no grills that you can cook on not much else for $40 a night. Nice location but have raised price way to much for camping - Traveling Kenny

Jul 2019 - $32.00

We stayed in the Cypress View campground. This campground was upgraded sometime ago after several storms did major damage. The electric was upgraded to 50 amp, the main roads were paved and packed gravel was added to the sites. The sites are mostly level but all will require some additional leveling. Most all of the sites are big rig friendly and easy to access. There are two handicap sites that are concrete. When they were upgrading, they should have added sewer. There is a dump station, but the line can be long on the weekends. Fire ants can be a problem at various areas around the campground. The bath house had the odor of bleach, but was far from clean. Enough so that I would not use it. - Dtaylor52

We stayed in the older section (Lakeshore) and had a waterfront site. It was very peaceful and quite when we were there. Don't know how it is in the busy season. Lots of places to walk and enjoy the scenery. Did not use any of the facilities so can't comment on cleanliness. Good location for overnight along I-95. - VtLee

We stayed here one night during RV driving training in the area. It was a pleasant surprise to see what a great spot this was! The park was full that night! It is on a pretty lake where you can fish off a large dock area, pull your boat into the docks or just watch the sunset! Big pool area with several kid play areas that looked fun! They also have cute cabins along the lake if you have friends that want to camp with you. It is right off I-95 and about 20 miles off I-26. Easy access both ways. - KateNMB

Aug 2019 - $50.00

The space was a great pull through but, very close to the RVs on either side. We loved the pools. They had two large pools, a lazy river with plenty of innertubes, and a splash area for kids. They all were very clean and maintained. The game room is small and limited. The ice cream shop was gift shop were never open after going several times. Some of the roads are graveled. All clean, with no dips or holes. Very friendly staff. - CDinSC

Jun 2019 - $50.00

Check in was efficient, escorted to site. We looked at site and discovered the the site map is wrong, map shows site 52 is the end site, not so... site 61 is the end site. Arrows on map showing direction to pull in to site is incorrect. To get to site 52 escort directed us to pull in the last row behind cabins and make a very sharp off camber turn... as always, the escort said no problem, "everyone does it!"... we decided to ignore his advice and pull in the row before our site, and back in... easy when you know what to do. We cut off a few tree limbs in order to open driver rear slide. Generally the entire Resort is run-down and shabby... Bathrooms are old and dirty. The rusty water has stained all bathroom fixtures. Washers and dryers are ancient. Fire ants have taken over every site. - Bob and Pam

We stayed in site G8 with our toy hauler. We had plenty of room for the truck, camper and bike. Lake Marion is just beautiful and this CG has a swim area roped off for safety, a pier to watch the gorgeous sunsets and a pool for those that prefer swimming in a pool. Trash is picked up daily. Big mature trees provide shade. Definitely worth the drive from KY. Charleston area was our destination for future house hunting so we actually meant to stay closer there but what a gem we found in this KOA. - DodgeSherri

May 2019 - $56.00

As a new KOA, this campground needs more updating. However, it has great potential. The sites are under shade trees. It is along a lake with a dock. There is attractive outdoor furniture. It is an easy on-off the highway in a beautiful setting. We stayed heading north (April) and again heading south (May.) The hookups were well placed and everything worked the way it was supposed to. Unfortunately for us, there is only one site long enough for us to stay hooked for an overnight stay. In April our site was long enough but in May we were a bit into the road both in the front and back. There were may short sites that would have been perfect for tent camping. If they are able to make some longer sites we would gladly be back. Otherwise, we will need a different option in the future. - lce3

Apr 2019 - $55.00

For being new to the KOA family this place wasn't bad. Lots of trees but our dish still worked. Pet friendly park. Would stay here again. Some sites look uneven but ours was pretty good, let them know you have a satellite dish and they will help you get a good site. - dave sandi

The park is beautiful with lots of potential. The bathrooms were not stocked with paper or soap. The garbage cans were full. There was garbage in several sites. We anticipated mosquitoes, however the deer flies were horrendous and chased us out a day early. - Meyersdvm

May 2019 - $28.00

This is a great state park, we stayed 4 nights, its quiet, campsites are roomy and shaded, Hiking trails were awesome. The only down side is be careful with a larger RV, we are 40' 5er and our original site (19) was marked for 41' there was no way we were getting in, Rangers said some sites are measured wrong. He did change us to a fantastic site!!! We will go back. Bring in any supplies, nearest town was over 20 miles away. - Captain Mike

May 2019 - $17.00

Best camping site we’ve ever had! Lots of room, level site, quiet, hiking trails, shade!! Perfect!! If you want lots of activities and convenience to attractions, this is not for you; however, we love that we are away from it all! No sewer hookup or cable. ATT cell service came in ok. We will definitely return! - BeckynChris

We booked for the month 400.00 which included electric nice paved loop to ride bikes most sites grass with some shade. Pool looked nice but closed. Close to I95 and Santee with good restaurants and shopping. Closest Walmart in Manning 20+ miles away. We stayed at site 17. Very quite at night most folks seniors and friendly. Has a small laundry room near the bath house which had good hot showers. No fire rings or picnic tables. Overall our stay was nice we went to Paradise point near Charleston while here to see the USS Yorktown and the USS Laffey. If you go buy your tickets in advance online. - Charlie Giles

May 2015 - $23.00

This park for us was very nice. They are in the process of removing many of the permanent campers and provided more available site. They have full hook-up with 50 Amps. WiFi was great. We also enjoyed the pool which was very clean. We used the picnic area and the charcoal grill need to be cleaned but they worked great. We enjoyed canoeing in the cove and fishing from the dock. If you are a 'everything has to be prefect' camper, then I would not go here. If you want to enjoy all of the thing that have to do with camping (fishing, boating, swimming, relaxing), then this is a nice place to go. They are still working on updating and improving the bathrooms and some of the sites. Everything worked great for us! They do not have fire rings or picnic table at the sites. - Stephen Howard

Sep 2014 - $28.00

We tried to get into the State Park but it was full. We decided to try this park that did not have any RV Park Reviews. It was adequate but just. It is almost completely taken up with full time and seasonal occupants, most with old trailers. It was somewhat noisy and the sites are not well kept. The campground roads, the ones to the sites, were dirt and extremely rutted. The main attraction to this campground is most likely the access to the lake but nothing here I would call a resort, as its name applies. We were in a 50 amp/water site that was out in the open; all the sites are grass, where it isn't dirt. The website lists a pool, but I never could find it. The park is close to the town of Santee and just over the bridge from the Wildlife Preserve and just about 5 miles from the State Park. - HRambler

This is a $15 site someone put plumbing and electric in their front yard that is not level at all! We tore off a mudflap and stuffed dirt in our muffler backing in! No signs of warning either. We have stayed in level paved sites with shade, cable and sewer, wifi that works and cable with nice showers and laundry for $25! Knats and mosquitoes are terrible. Not staying here again! - DeanaB

Stayed overnight. Sites aren't numbered and not many have 50amp. Sites are very unlevel. Close to I-26 and easy in and out. Only worthy of an overnight stay. - Bilsalrv

Oct 2008 - $20.00

The bad side: The campground is very run down. The office is generally locked, and nobody answers the phone. The swimming pool has not been cleaned or used in a long time. A sign at the office tells rates and provides envelopes and a slot to mark your site and leave your money. There are potholes in the roads, but they are not too bad. Check the electricity before you park and hook up--some sites don't work. The good side: The sites are level and grassy, and the grass was recently mowed in most areas. There were lots of open sites with easy pull-through access. Sites closest to the adjacent motels may be able to pick up wireless Internet (I did). Interstate access, an RV store, a truck stop, various restaurants, and a Super WalMart are all nearby. This is not a family campground, but for a couple who don't need a lot of campground services, it's fine, and the price is low. - Charlie500

May 2008 - $20.00

Place is run down and uncared for. The laundry room looked to be good. No one around the place and no phone number to contact. Which is OK with us. However. It's easy to get in and out. We were in a motorhome with toad and had no problem with the pull through. Quiet place, within walking distance of a few restaurants and we had a good meal. The place has a few full timers in the back and the area was neat. The place needs lots of work, but it's a great stop off point and the utilities worked well. Verizon Air card works well in the area for high speed internet. Good satellite reception from our site even with the shade trees. This was probably once a very nice place and it's a shame to see it as it is. We will stay there again for a few days to break up the north south trips. A better sign at the office with "pick a site" would be nice. - Osmosis

Jan 2008 - $19.00

The most mis-named campground I’ve ever seen, Camper’s Paradise is a former KOA, but the only way you can tell is by the shape of the outside of the building. Inside, the office floor is bare concrete and was partially under water when I was there. At least one large dog and three cats roamed around the dimly lit structure as I checked in, and the whole place ABSOLUTELY REEKED of cat urine. Water, power, and sewer was serviceable, and the grass pull-through sites were relatively level, but the grounds are dismal and poorly maintained. There are huge potholes everywhere in the park. The pool appears to have been abandoned for at least one full season, possibly more, as has the playground. Campground choices are exceptionally limited in central South Carolina. Although we love Manning, we will re-route our next trip to avoid staying at this campground again. - North Carolina Nomads
