One day isn’t enough to experience everything Lake Murray has to offer so plan on staying a night or two in the park. They offer tiny cabins, regular cabins, a lovely state Lodge, and they have camping options.

But one of our favorite places to stay is on one of the floating cabins right on the water. Overnight rentals are offered by Lake Murray Floating Cabins and you won’t forget an overnight stay here.

If you want to spend time out on the water, rent a boat or jet skis and cruise around the lake.
