About
Lake Wateree State Park sits on 13,800 accessible acres of Lake Wateree, hosting numerous fishing tournaments each year. It offers 100 paved campsites for RVs or tents, 23 of which are waterfront. Hookup details are not published with a full site-by-site breakdown 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.)
