贝尔斯码头度假村酒店(Bells Marina & Resort)

I've stay here 4 times and this was the worst time ever. No fire pits out. Freezer not defrosted, Coffee pot not cleaned. Lites covered with dust. Baseboards filthy. Cockroaches visible and on the table. Staff hard to get a hold of because of poor phone service and could not connect to WiFi. Also who in their right mind designated the smoking area to be in the gazebo where the grills are for cooking. Butt containers not emptied so it reeked of cigarettes and the picnic tables are set up near it . Unfortunately it was one of my favorite places to go to. I will not be going again.

They would have gotten a 5-star for all but they are remodeling and when we arrived there was no one at the office to check the guys in. We had to stay at another hotel but they were more than helpful in giving us a full refund and easy to work with. I am sorry the guys couldn't stay here while they were out of town working on a cell tower site. Hopefully will get another chance to visit this place.

Comfortable and quiet! The AC and cozy beds made up for the room being a little dusty. A couple of things to note for future guests: the lake has a lot of weeds, and while I didn't see any, there are warning signs that alligators are in the area. A swimming pool would be an excellent addition for guests who don't have a boat.

Enjoyed our time there. On a beautiful cove of the lake.

The Waterfront Outpost on the Shores of Lake Marion. Bells Marina is a practical mix of full-hookup RV sites, glamping tents, and a 12-room lodge. The property is built for the "get up and go" lifestyle. Our room was clean, functional, and equipped with all the essentials and even some freebies. The property is fully gated with 24/7 camera surveillance and ample free parking. You have to check-in in the store building facing the road where you get a tag for your vehicle. The real "lobby" there is the lakefront. Guests have full access to well-maintained common outdoor spaces. In the early spring, it was a sanctuary of silence. Directly adjacent to the property is the Eutaw Springs Battlefield, a pivotal Revolutionary War site. We went for a walk and learned quite a bit of history. Bells Marina is a pocket gem of the Lowcountry but it is rather rural.There is a small on-site store for essentials, but the stretch between there and Santee is largely undeveloped. Honestly, Santee is not that fancy :) We went to the closest IGA to stock up on your favorite groceries to take full advantage of the lakeside dining and didn't regret it. The morning shower was hot and strong and the towels were fluffy. These guys (thanks God) don't use cheap scented detergents or cleaners. Although pet-friendly, the place smelt fresh and was sparkling clean. We were pretty happy to find this landing spot to enjoy the best of the Santee Cooper lake system. Don't forget your fishing gear!

Quiet and relaxing and good value!! I'll come again!
