Blue Water Development announced the acquisition of the Santee Lakes KOA Journey campground in Santee, SC, and plans to invest $4 million in property upgrades.
Santee Lakes KOA Journey includes 167 sites on the shores of Lake Marion, halfway between Florida and New York, in the rapidly expanding Columbia and Charleston, SC metro centers. The park offers lakeside views, camping options and family-focused amenities, including fishing, paddle boating, biking, and nature trails.
The $4 million renovation will focus on elevating the guest experience with plans to enhance the RV sites, upgrade amenities and modernize the campground to make it a premier KOA RV resort on the I95 corridor.
Rafael Correa, president of Blue Water Development, said, “By investing in significant property enhancements at Santee Lakes KOA Journey, we aim to provide even greater value for our guests and make this picturesque resort a standout destination.”
Founded in 2002, Blue Water invests, develops and manages RV resorts, campgrounds, hotels, and attractions. With an integrated approach to marketing, revenue management and operations, the company has dozens of resort-area properties in its portfolio including East Coast states from Maine to Florida, and new additions in Texas, Montana and Oregon.
