A Park Built Around Lake Russell

The park’s 318 acres extend along pine-covered points that reach into Lake Russell. Because much of the surrounding shoreline remains lightly developed, the views feel open, wooded, and peaceful.

02

One of the System’s Coveted Campgrounds

South Carolina State Parks describes the campground as one of the most coveted in the system. Spacious RV and tent sites sit among trees, and many offer direct or elevated views across the water.

03

Fishing, Boating, and Lake Time

Lake Russell supports bass, crappie, bream, walleye, stripers, and catfish. The park includes a boat ramp, fishing pier, seasonal swimming area, and a lighted marina with rental slips.
