This is a gem on Lake Marion. You can kayak or use your own boat.
Hosts were very inviting and helpful.
Site was pull through with plenty of space. There is a hiking trail walking distance that I and my dog Luna appreciated.
At home my husband and I take Luna for kayaking. But here, alone with her I did not take a chance with her. She likes to jump into the water and swim to the shore. So one of us has to kayak very fast to meet her at the shore and make sure she does not get too tired (she is a German shepherd)

Our stay keeps getting better and better each time we go here. We started staying here last October, shortly after Jud bought Bell’s. The grounds are always clean and well groomed. It’s nice that they have a hotel here because my daughters and grandkids can come stay a night and not have to worry about driving home.

This place has really gotten better over the past year. My girlfriend and I tried it for the first time last year and wasn’t impressed but found out that Bells had just been purchased by Jud. When we came back the second time, it was 100% nicer and the third time was this weekend. It just keeps getting better. The staff is welcoming and nice. We had follow up conversations to make sure we had everything we needed.
Very well manicured landscape. I really like the addition of the lights on the palms. I highly recommend Bells.

Lakefront RV 9, 25’x50’ 30Amp+Water
We stayed in Spot #11 - a nice, level, lakeside, pull-through campsite with electricity, water & dump available. It has a great view of Lake Marion, right across from the boat ramp.
This is a great place for families/groups that have both an RV & a boat. There's also a small suite of hotel rooms for non-campers.
Host Jud was *extremely* nice & is clearly committed to improving the property & making guests feel well taken care of.
One warning: they aren't currently set up for same-day bookers who arrive late. Jud's staff checks the HipCamp site once daily for bookings. They don't keep the app open all the time & might miss a late booking (like ours)! HipCamp's instant booking will give you a confirmation, directions & instructions. But the check-in is at a small store at the entrance & the store closes at 9 pm. If you arrive after 9 pm, there is a locked gate & (potentially) no response on the dial pad phone. Lucky for us, a friendly camper drove in behind us & let us through the gate. So all was well!
Jud's plans to rewrite his HipCamp description to avoid any late night/last minute booking confusion in the future. He really is a conscientious host!
One other note: Google maps' directions to individual sites is confusing. And it's hard to see the site #s if you arrive at night. Bring a flashlight! Jud's always improving things. My guess is that reflective #s will be installed before long!
Thanks for the nice visit!

Camping with Toddler

Really friendly staff.
Jud and partner were really hands on the property and accommodating. We booked a spot right on the water and when we got there realized it was too close to the water with having a toddler. They switched us to a spot that was farther from the lake, no problem!
Nice bathrooms/shower/laundry space.
Really easy to meet people and seems like a solid community at Bell’s Marina.
Thanks, great times!

Great waterfront stay!

Lakefront Site 2 25’x50’ FHU 30/50
We enjoyed our stay at Bell’s Marina! The best part was being so close to the waterfront and seeing all the egrets, cormorants, and herons! Jud is super nice and helped us get settled in and answered any questions. Just a heads up that sometimes the town internet was out, and our AT&T and Verizon hotspots were spotty. However, the wifi for the park worked well most of the time. We took a drive out to see the nearby Congaree National Park (an hour away) and Eutaw Springs Battlefield (just down the street). We also enjoyed Tuesday Taco buffet night at the nearby Chrissy’s Restaurant. Check in and out is through the store connected to the gas station. If you have some time, you might want to rent a kayak or paddleboat while you’re there. 😃

Lovely Lake Marion
32 ft travel trailer ·
Lakefront RV 9, 25’x50’ 30Amp+Water
We chose this campground for its convenient location close to I-95. This campground was full of little surprises and lots of friendly folks.
Our site was located close to Lake Marion (it’s a marina too) & had very pretty views of the water & changing leaves. The site was perfectly level. We were only staying one night, so was long enough to fit the entire length of our 32 foot travel trailer and king cab Silverado pickup tow vehicle, allowing us to skip unhooking. The site had water and electricity. The sewer hookup was under construction but soon to be completed.
There was a bath house with coin operated laundry within steps of our site.
The campground was peaceful & filled with a lot of “snowbird campers” & some permanent sites.
The camp/marina store/gas station/local diner building is huge, located right on the road. Easy to find, very convenient.
Our nicest surprise was Chrissy’s diner! It wasn’t fancy but boy was the food good & the staff friendly. We were there for wing night: eight different kinds of very nicely sized wings all for the taking for .50 cents a piece along with hot and crispy French fries. All of their entrees were very reasonably priced & were examples of down-home country cooking e.g., country fried steak with mashed potatoes, fried chicken, burgers... It was busy there, w/ both eat-in diners as well as doing a robust carry out business - always a good sign.
The owner Jay & his wife were extremely responsive and helpful.

We stayed at Bell’s for three days. The lake is just beautiful, it’s very serene and peaceful here.
We used our paddle boards and found a beautiful little cove tucked away along the lake.
Crissy’s diner at the entrance was a very pleasant surprise. The food was delicious!
Country cooking at its finest. I’m a bit of a biscuits and gravy snob… best I’ve ever had!
If you’re looking for beautiful scenery, peace and quiet and great food, you won’t be disappointed!

We so enjoyed our stay at the campground at Bell’s Marina! Right on Lake Marion, the view is idyllic. The owners went above and beyond to get us settled in.
They’re new owners of a few months, and the campground isn’t perfect, but evidence is everywhere that they are working hard on improvements. Our site was level gravel with a brand new fire ring, the water view was peaceful and beautiful, and we saw a few alligators swimming on the far side (no swimming in the lake!).
You’ll pull into a store and gas station when you arrive to register. Plenty of supplies for your rig or for fishing, including bait. Next door in the same building is a restaurant with delicious comfort food.
We look forward to returning!

Nothing like the website description. Crowded, noisy, great view of discarded junk laying around. Hasn’t been raked in years. Buried cables coming out of the ground. Lots not numbered. Lots of traffic coming through.

We were only there for a night, as a stopping point on a longer journey. While I don’t have any experience with their amenities, store, or restaurant, I CAN say that the consideration for their guests was wonderfully warming and heartfelt. We booked late, arrived late, and yet they stayed late to welcome us. Put us in the spot they felt would best serve our needs, then gave us the freedom to change spots if we needed to.
The spots are easy to maneuver and clearly marked. The description may say they don’t have sewer hookups but they do.
I’m eager to go back as a planned trip so we can explore the fishing, the lake looked hoppin’!!

Lakefront Site 2 25’x50’ FHU 30/50
We had a great stay. Wasn’t exactly what we expected, from description but we’re not disappointed. New owners and they are doing a lot of work. Description is more of what they are working towards.
Sites are pullin, level and plenty of room. We had a great view of the water. Bathroom and laundry were clean and well kept.
Very quite and peaceful. Everyone was super friendly and helpful.
We were visiting our daughter at Naval base and sight seeing in Charleston. 45-90 min drive.
We even went berry picking at local farm.
We definitely recommend and would stay again.
We were there for 7 days

I loved my time at the Boathouse! Staff was friendly and helpful and the lake was beautiful. The house itself was neat and comfortable with everything we needed. Having the store right next door was convenient as well. Fishing and boating was right in the backyard. beds were very comfortable as well.

Super shout out to the owner who went above and beyond by helping me dump for the first time! If someone is willing to help you deal with your sh*t you give them a good star rating! RV spot was great nice and level and the bathrooms and showers were top notch! Highly recommend!

Waterview Site 12 25’x40’ FHU 30/50
We were very pleased with our experience. When we arrived, Jud took time to work with us to select an appropriate site. His assistant took me on a tour of the campground to help select the site, which was essentially a pull through. The site was level and had all of the hook-up connections arranged logically.
The campsite was on lovely Lake Marion with its picturesque views. The lake is ideal for someone who enjoys fishing for bass or catfish. We had two dinners from the catfish obtained at the lake.
We would highly recommend this campground for someone visiting the Lake Marion SC area.

Jud and his wife are great hosts! They have a nice location on the lake & we could tell they are working hard to improve this property. We were very happy to have a lake view with brand new full hookups and a beautiful sunset each night! We would stay here again & look forward to seeing what these new owners do with this spot in the future.
