For KOA Journey Newberry Sumter: I have stayed here many times over the last 4 years. The stays ranged from a few days to a few weeks. The place is well managed. The facilities are spotless. Although they don’t have cable, they accommodated need with an open spot so my dish was usable. The price is very fair for what you get here. The internet was great and free. It’s quiet and even the longer stay camper area is clean and does not look like a normal camping areas. I would recommend this place for short or long term camping. The owners work very hard at improving the grounds.
Overall it’s one of the best places for the price hands down.
I read an earlier review that mentioned the friendliness of the office. I agree they are not Paula Dean welcoming you and partying with you. However, they are not rude and I would prefer someone who takes care of the property and runs a tight ship where you feel safe and secure over baked cookies any day.

For KOA Journey Newberry Sumter: A very quiet and rural rv park. The owners are very friendly and extremely hard working. The sites are level, the bathrooms are very clean as is the laundry room and $1.50 wash and $1.00 dry. There is a salt water pool open seasonally. Good WIFI throughout the park but no cable. OTA tv channels are poor due to lots of trees. A good overnight park and we would return if in area.

For KOA Journey Newberry Sumter: Stayed one night in my 21 foot camper van. Site was level. Park was easily accessible from I-26. I agree with other reviews listed here. Stayed 4-27-18. I would stay again and recommend it. It makes a good overnight place to stop.

For KOA Journey Newberry Sumter: We stayed here for several months. It is a beautiful park.
First...
The owners have made some great upgrades and take very good care of the park. The salt water pool upgrade is wonderful and the bathrooms and showers are the cleanest you will find anywhere.
However... I can not give my recommendation. In the 10 years of travel and the many places we have stayed for my husband's employment in the US, the current owners are the most difficult we've encountered. They are and will be, the park's down fall. This is the first park in 10 years we will leave and not look forward to stopping back to see and spend time with the owners ever again. They were super to work with before we came. They seemed happy to welcome us in, however it quickly became all about the nickles and dimes. We paid every month on-time, took very good care of their site, cleaned up after our dogs as well as cleaning up after others. We were respectful and obedient tenants. We were friendly with others in the park, and tried to socialize with the owners as well as their two adult sons at every opportunity. The youngest son was friendly and helpful, the owners were less than social unless they had an ulterior motive. At the end of our stay, they even asked us to leave so they could accommodate a group of men coming into the area. We are sad to leave this negative review, but feel it's important to inform our full time and work traveling families. You will see many favorable reviews from short stay people. The owners seem great at first glance. Oh, and be very careful where you park. There is a parking area where you will get charged and they are very selective as to what they feel is grass and who they are going to call out for parking wrong. You will get a nasty email. The owners do not come around to just to show themselves friendly and their grown kids are constantly on their computer games and streaming movies instead of out helping to care for the park.

For KOA Journey Newberry Sumter: We made a reservation for one night on our way to Hilton Head to be with one of our daughter's family. We had not stayed here before. The reviews were good, so we gave it a shot. Great little campground, maintained with pride. Amazingly clean bathhouses. The owners met us at the office and used their little golf cart to show us the way to our campsite. You can hear road noise from the freeway, but it is not an issue to keep one awake at night. Friendly owners, well maintained, facilities are right on for most camping comforts. We would highly recommend to anyone that staying here for one night or more is a real pleasure.

For KOA Journey Newberry Sumter: We really enjoyed our stay here. There are some storage RVs and some seasonals, but everything is very well-maintained and neat. Impressed with the courteousness of the owners and the cleanliness of the entire park and grounds. My two little guys LOVED the playground and we were in the well-kept salt water pool every day. Our pull-thru site was large and spacious, with extra grassy/parking area on one side where the boys played frisbee and bubbles and we set up our canopy. The gravel drive was plenty big for our 40 ft 5er and parking. Very quiet during the week. Mostly people coming off the expressway to stay for one night on their way somewhere else. There was no one next to us our entire stay. Besides slightly noisy traffic on the nearby road, we have NOTHING to complain about. We will stay here again if our travels bring us back through this area.
