About
Sesquicentennial State Park ("Sesqui"), a 1,419-acre green space inside Columbia, offers 78 standard campsites with electric and water hookups for RVs or tents, 9 of which are full-service; 5 primitive group camping areas (up to 50 people per site) are also offered but not counted in the total above. Note the reservation portal lists this park under the slug "sesquicentennial" although South Carolina's own marketing site uses "sesqui."
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.)
