When you pull up, you’ll see they own the entire area, with plenty of parking and a prime waterfront location on the Santee lakes. The first thing you’ll walk into is a fully stocked convenience store and bait and tackle shop, perfect for all your fishing needs. In the back, you’ll find a spacious, clean restaurant with plenty of room to relax. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The food is outstanding, whether you're there for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. My personal favorite breakfast item is the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich—I loved it so much that I had two of them while I was there! For lunch or dinner, you can't go wrong with the hamburger. It’s a half-pound of hand-pattied, in-house beef, and it ranks among the best burgers I've ever had. I also tried the fried flounder, which was delightfully light, flaky, and crispy. With a boat ramp out front, a campground, and a motel on site, Black’s Camp has everything you need for the perfect lakeside getaway. Fishing, lodging, dining—what more could you ask for?

At the restaurant, our waiter seemed grumpy and rushed to leave us even while we were still ordering, despite the fact that we were the only patrons there. The cashier at the front desk made no effort to make eye contact or engage with customers, often walking away when spoken to. When I needed help finding something, I ended up figuring it out on my own. The housekeeping was also disappointing. We hung out the "make our room" sign twice, but the first day our card disappeared. After I got a new one and put it out again, I found it on the floor later. I thought maybe it had blown away, but when my husband needed toilet paper, I went to the housekeeper. After I thanked her for bringing some, she responded with, "Well, I appreciate a dollar." The next day, the sign was again on the floor, and the towels we had used were simply hung on the door. After a week at the lake, it was quite unpleasant to realize our sheets hadn't been changed, and we were left with a dirty bed. I would have changed them myself if I'd known housekeeping was contingent on tips. I usually tip at the end of my stay, based on the quality of service I receive. We visit this place every year and hope for a better experience with housekeeping in the future. On a positive note, the owner was very nice and did his best to assist us at the beginning of our stay, and he was easy to find if we needed him. Overall Service: 1 out of 5.
