About
Dreher Island State Park spans three islands and 12 miles of Lake Murray shoreline, a popular bass-fishing-tournament destination about 30 miles from Columbia. It offers 97 paved campsites plus 15 tent campsites (112 total) and 5 lakeside villas (not counted in the total above). Hookup details are not published on the park's own page.
Fees
South Carolina State Parks does not publish a static per-night camping rate on this park's own page - its Itinio reservation system (reserve.southcarolinaparks.com) uses live, date-based dynamic pricing. Check the reservation link for current rates. Pets are allowed on a leash (or other physical restraint) throughout South Carolina State Parks, including campgrounds, per the agency's statewide rules - though pets are not permitted in or around lodging facilities (cabins/villas/lodge rooms). (southcarolinaparks.com/rules-regulations, confirmed live.)
