**UPDATE!* We've received the 35% submittal drawings for the RV expansion/sewer project and it's looking pretty good. Base engineers are reviewing the plans and it looks like we'll get started some time after Labor Day! Per the contract, the completion is expected By January 2011.

Wateree Recreation Area is located in the heart of South Carolina’s Olde English District, where the three large river systems, Pee-Dee, Catawba-Wateree and Broad, that once brought in settlers, now lure campers, picnickers and fishermen alike! This 14,000-acre hydroelectric impoundment has a 190-mile shoreline. Situated on a peninsula of 25 pristine wooded acres, Wateree Recreation Area is designed for the recreational enjoyment of military members and their families. Need Directions?
