What campers say
This KOA sits conveniently off I‑26 with easy access and well‑maintained, roomy sites—many are level and some offer concrete patios, seating and fire pits. Grounds are clean and landscaped with decorative touches, and facilities include a salt‑water pool, playground, laundry, and tidy restrooms/showers. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly, attentive and helpful with check‑in and late arrivals. On‑site food (pizza and wings) and kid activities add convenience for families. Note that the campground appears to guarantee site types rather than specific numbered sites, so exact spot assignments may not always be held.

📖 About This Campground
Newberry / I-26 / Sumter NF KOA in Kinards South Carolina provides full hookup RV and tent camping with easy access near I-26.
"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.
