4 nights at Sunny Days Campground

I would recommend this campground whole heartedly! To be honest, I wasn't expecting other campers here because of how it was listed on the website but I was very pleased with it. The campground was very clean and well-kept. The campsite was the levelest we've stayed at, and we've camped a lot. There's a central commons area for gathering and so many outdoor games accessible for everyone. It's close to Santee State Park if you want to hike longer trails though there is a short one on the property. We also appreciated the doggy poop stations - non-existent in most places we've stayed at. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Would we stay there again? ... Most definitely without hesitation!

1 night at Sunny Days Campground

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay ! The camp was easy to find < 5 miles off 95, the grounds were immaculate and plenty to keep the little and older ones (like us) busy. Lots of lawn games, hammock, chair swings for relaxing and beautiful surroundings. Our camp pad was gravel but level and the full hookup / site was clearly marked. And the camp store was cute. Lots to see !!! A beautiful pond with hiking trail around the property too. I would NOT be surprised the camp fills up indefinitely because of the location and more importantly the cleanliness of the camp. We will return!

Weekend Trip to Sunny Days Campground

We enjoyed our stay at the sunny days tv park and campground. Logan and his team were very welcoming and friendly. Always ready to lend a hand if needed. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that there was a one man band and a food truck there for the evening. The office has many thoughtful supplies and very reasonable prices. We had a great stay! 😊
