Camped here with the family right by the lake. Fishing was great! Cool Halloween decorations that my 5yr old son loved! Clean bathrooms! One of the best state parks in SC!

Are there cabins there to rent or do you have to have an RV? Only asking because there are questions already posted saying yes there are cabins and questions that say no there are no cabins, so what’s the answer??? Yes or no?

Helen Schoenberg | Oct 8, 2020
Bobby Bass | Oct 8, 2020

There are no cabins. You do not necessarily need an rv, I have seen a lot of tent camping. There are 2 campgrounds, the Riverside, which is closer to the lake with plenty of shade, and a new one called Taylor Creek, which is not shaded, and still under construction. https://reserve.southcarolinaparks.com/lake-wateree

Are the picnic areas a distance from each other

Charles hall | Oct 9, 2018
Sherry Fowler | Oct 9, 2018

There are actually two picnic pads off from all of the others but you would have a wooded area that makes it more private. They are also walking distance to the store and play ground. I think you have to reserve those two but the others are included in the $2 parking fee.
