Newberry / I-26 / Sumter NF KOA Journey

Welcome to the Newberry / I-26 / Sumter NF KOA!

"Centrally located in the middle of everywhere" is the best way to describe our 46-site, wooded campground. (That's right! No "parking lot" camping here!) Nestled on 19 acres in the "Piedmont" of South Carolina, you'll find us less than a mile off Exit 60 on Interstate 26 in Kinards (that's "Ky"-nerds), South Carolina.

While you're camping with us, feel free to "walkabout" this great state of ours by fishing in Lake Murray, hiking in Sumter National Forest, or catching a show at the Newberry Opera House. (It ain't really opera.) If you prefer eclectic restaurants, museums, and history, we're within an hour's drive of Columbia, Spartanburg, and Greenville.

We're a great stopping point, too. Whether you're headed to coastal destinations like Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Hilton Head, and Savannah, or you're just "passing through" on your way to Florida, Tennessee, and Georgia, just give us a call for a safe, quiet, clean spot to rest your head for the night. With 28 pull-through, full hook-up (30- and 50-amp service) sites, it's easy to roll in, roll out, and roll on! We also have 9 "back-in" sites that have water and electricity-perfect for a quick, weekend getaway. Other amenities include: saltwater pool, camp store, laundry facilities, dog park, playground, pavilion/outdoor movie theater, and a dump station. We don't have cable, but our Wi-Fi is exceptional!

We stayed overnight while making our way south. Great pull through site with easy access in and out. Staff in the office was great too. Had me laughing as soon as we started chatting.

Such a charming and welcoming KOA! The people here truly make the difference — you can feel the care and thought they put into every detail. The Halloween haunted hayride was incredible and clearly a labor of love. You can tell how much effort the team put into creating such a memorable experience. Highly recommend this KOA and its wonderful staff!

My family and I stayed for an overnight stay on 10/5/25 on our way to Myrtle Beach. We were instantly met with kindness by every employee who went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of and comfortable. The grounds are meticulously maintained and all facilities are clean. Even though it was only for a night, we very much enjoyed our stay and will most definitely be back in the future! If you’re looking for a wonderful place that is convenient to I-26, this is the place!

Our first stay here and we were very happy with it. Staff is friendly and accommodating. You can definitely tell they spend a lot of time keeping up the park! Well maintained, exceptionally clean, dog park had balls and frisbees and well kept. Nice swimming pool, game areas, camp store stocked well too. Plenty of fun activities for kids and adults such as cookouts, scavenger hunts, pool parties and so much more! Will definitely stay again when we are traveling this way again!
