South Carolina's Premier Lakefront & Fishing Destination
Welcome to Santee Cooper Country!
Lakes Marion and Moultrie are South Carolina’s largest lake system and home to championship fishing, golfing, camping, kayaking, Revolutionary War history and outdoor fun for the whole family. Visitors love exploring our lakes and getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
We like to do things at a little slower pace here in the lowcountry. With amazing sunsets, waterfront camping, listening to the soothing sounds of nature, we welcome you to fall in love with the country.
Your next LAKEFRONT VACATION
If your idea of a five-star hotel is more like a night under the stars, look no further than Santee Cooper County, South Carolina, where we have a number of campgrounds and marinas. Prefer a hotel or motel? We have conveniently located properties, near I-95.
History & Fun Facts About Santee Cooper Country
With over 43 waterfront campgrounds, 2 amazing state parks, and various hotels to choose from, while you’re here, you will always have a place to stay. With over five counties to explore and 171,000 acres of accessible water to get to know, you will definitely want to pack those flip-flops and hiking shoes.
Fishing Strategies & Reports
Since the weather in South Carolina stays pretty mild all year, our lakes never freeze over (like they do up north) allowing anglers to fish all year long. Spring is our prime season with bream, crappie, catfish and bass and striped bass beginning to bed around the lakes.
