Positives are that it is very quiet and like the gates for security - negatives are, too hot here, not like closer to the beach, dirt pads to put your rv and no shade as we were in the newer slots.

I was here back in the 80's. Santee Lakes has changed and only improved! It is such a clean, nice quiet lovely place to be when you want to just kick back. Just another hidden neighborhood jewell that the tourists miss out on. What can I say?

Great RV facilities. Many sites on the lake. Small lakes but well stocked. Good fishing for several species at different times of the year.

Could use a playground for the little ones.
