Great waterfront stay!
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
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.
V. Affordable.

Serene and beautiful!
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!

Nice small campground well spaced. On the water. Worked very well for us.

We would definitely stay again!
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!

Not as advertised
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.
