Santee State Park SC
After spending last week in one of the pier cabins, I decided to do a little review to let everyone know how much my wife and I enjoyed our stay at Santee State Park. With all the opportunities to participate in the boat tours, viewing the abundant wildlife and glorious sunrises and sunsets over the lake, it was an entertaining and relaxing time.
The cabin we stayed in was one of the pier cabins that sit out over the water. You can actually park your boat right out in front of the cabin. I don't currently own a boat, but if I stayed there very long, I would have to get one. If you check out the photos, you can see all kinds of water activities going on and if water is not your interest, check out all the wildlife. Deer were roaming around the campsites, Osprey were diving for fish all day and giving us a great show.
If a slower pace is more your style, then the cool breezes on the deck as the sun sets across the lake is hard to resist.
Everyone was especially friendly including all the park staff as well as the other folks staying in the campground. A very easy place to make new friends. I know we did.
I give this one five stars as I really enjoyed it.
