Located in
South Carolina’s well-known Santee Cooper Country,
Santee State Park sits along
Lake Marion, a lake popular for its abundant population of large catfish. Santee State Park offers
camping by the lake, but for guests who prefer to spend the night indoors, rondette cabins, 10 of which sit on piers over the lake, are available and have been attracting families for years.
Other amenities and activities found in the park include a community meeting building with a large, screened-in grilling facility, biking and hiking trails and pontoon boat tours of Lake Marion’s flooded cypress forest.
