Campers, please be advised:  If you have a camping reservation, you do not need to check-in at the office.  You may go directly to your campsite.  Our park rangers or campground host will come by during patrols and check you in at that time.  Thanks for your assistance.


There is an electric vehicle charging station for use by visitors at the park.


We Do Treats and More has partnered with Santee State Park to provide frozen treats to park visitors! Be on the lookout for them in the campground and Day-use areas on weekends!

Unique Features

  • Significant Features: Many sinkholes are located throughout the park. The sinkholes are a naturally-occurring phenomenon caused when the limestone underneath the surface erodes away and the ground opens up.

    The cypress forest located in the middle of the lake have been there since the lake was built. These cypress trees have flourished in the middle of the lake and are a distinguishing feature of the park.

  • Wildlife: Unique animals you may encounter include alligators, the fox squirrel and the land-locked striped bass while at the park.
