RV rental Santee State Park, SC: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Step out of your RV rental and go for a trek on one of the four trails in the park. While all the trails are considered easy, you'll get to experience various terrains, including wooded areas, swamps, near-desert spots, and pine forests. Along the way, you'll likely see deer, wildflowers, and even a few sinkholes. Hop on your bike and cruise down the seven-mile-long bike trail. Ride through the pine and hardwood forest dripping with Spanish moss. The trail is mostly level and an easy ride. Get ready to see gorgeous views of the expansive lake and cypress trees along the way. If you prefer to be on the water, Lake Marion is the place for you. Sitting next to Santee State Park, the 110,000-acre lake draws locals and visitors alike. You’ll find plenty of space to fish, whether it’s from your boat or off the pier. Record-size largemouth bass have been caught in Lake Marion, which seems fitting, as it’s the largest lake in the state. Santee campers can also expect to catch a variety of other fish, such as striped bass, trout, and catfish. The cypress forest sits right in the middle of Lake Marion and can be seen from the pier or accessed with kayaks and canoes for an intimate adventure. Want to see osprey nests, alligators, and other wildlife up close? Claim your spot on a pontoon boat for a two-hour wildlife swamp tour. There are also plenty of things to do and see with the kids. Swimming areas and three playgrounds are just a couple of activities at the park. You can also learn about the limestone in the region from an educational display next to a limestone sinkhole along one of the hiking trails. Enjoy the evenings by roasting marshmallows around one of the fire pits with the whole family.
