What campers say

Santee Lakes offers a pleasant lakeside setting with a sandy beach, fishing pier and family-friendly activities like mini golf, a game room and playground. Many guests praise the on-site staff for being friendly and helpful, and several reviewers note clean, modern cabins with kitchens as a strong option. Practical tradeoffs include ongoing construction and intermittent maintenance problems: some visitors report dirty or distant bathhouses, broken or aging amenities, pests, and a limited camp store or spotty internet. If you prioritize helpful staff and waterfront cabins, this park can be appealing, but expect occasional upkeep and amenity inconsistencies.

"“We wanted to do some upgrades, and we wanted to have more overnight business. We wanted to turn it into a more family-oriented campground, so families would spend time here,” said Malanuk. The campground had become a primarily long-term resident campground, and the Malanuks wished to take it in a new direction, hoping to appeal to more of the overnight and vacationing crowd. However, any current long-term resident was given the option to stay, and many did." "While not all planned improvements are complete, the campground has upgraded many sites to 50-amp and has also cleaned up and leveled them to make them more accessible to the larger RVS on the roads today. New washers and dryers have been added, and they have rebuilt the fishing pier. New wooden furniture sits out by the lake, as well as a new playground for children." http://manninglive.com/2018/07/28/a-new-koa-in-town/
