Getting Outdoors

You’ll find plenty of outdoor things to do at Poinsett State Park. Visitors can get out and enjoy some time out on the park’s lake. Go swimming in the lake anytime from Memorial Day to Labor Day, although do keep in mind that no lifeguard is on duty. Consider going fishing in the 10-acre lake, which is filled with bass, catfish, and bream. Boats are allowed on the water, and there are rentals you could use. If you plan to fish, you need to make sure to have a South Carolina fishing license.

Camping at Poinsett State Park

Search for an RV in Sumter County and stay at the park’s campground. It offers 24 sites which offer amenities such as water, electric, restrooms, showers, and a dump station. Some sites can accommodate RVs up to 40 feet long, although not all can, so it’s important to clarify in your reservation if you need a site in this length.

Exploring the Area

There are numerous places to explore with your camper rental while in the area. One to consider visiting with your travel trailer is the Swan Lake Iris Gardens. Situated in Sumter, the land was once a private fishing lake during the late 1920s for Hamilton Carr Bland. Eventually, Bland decided to plant Japanese irises around the lake, a tradition which has continued to this day. Besides irises, the gardens are also filled with fragrant lilies, magnolias, and camellias. It also hosts an Iris Festival in May.

Requesting this RV on short notice was quickly accepted and Richard was very responsive as well as courteous. Rental process was very pain free. The rental RV was tidy, accommodating and handled well. Some minor issues were addressed with Richard who assisted greatly and assured us not to worry about the issues. Easiest rental return I have ever done.

Drew was great! Exceptional communication! He had Hotel Catalina set up and ready to go for our arrival. Small details like having the fireplace on to keep it warm for our arrival was very thoughtful and much appreciated!

Host was great with delivery, set up, and the unit was everything they said it would be. We had an excellent stay and were thoroughly impressed with the functionality and cleanliness of the RV.
We would definitely rent again and encourage others to do so.
