James Island could be booked already, so an alternate is KOA Mt Pleasant. Years ago they were miles from anything, now they are within walking distance from Walmart but still secluded enough not to feel like you are in town.
Would recommend Buck Hall NF also as it is along the ICW. Most sites have a great view across the ICW and marsh. Visiting downtown Charleston is only a 30-40 minute drive down 17 so makes a wonderful secluded place as a base.
Poinsett is a very nice rustic park, but to call the lake is very small. You can walk around it in about an hour. Campground is also about 1/4-1/2 mile from the lake.
Santee is nice, but in April starting to get busy on the weekends. Lake Moultrie is a true large lake. A few of the campsites have wonderful views of the lake.
