For KOA Journey Newberry Sumter: Very nice campground that is clean and the office staff is very nice and helpful.
The only reason I gave a 4 instead of a 5 is that a man on a golf cart who works for the KOA drove by our site at 8:45 pm and asked me if I had been in the pool earlier. I replied that I hadn’t. He then said that someone had broken their umbrella at the pool and they were looking for who might have broken it. Both me and my wife were walking earlier and we both saw a gust of wind turn the umbrella and table over and the kids in the pool got out of the water and set it back up and then cranked it down so it wouldn’t happen again. When I told him this, he replied “NO, that couldn’t have happened!†I told him again that we had seen it and he angrily replied “That couldn’t have happened!†Well I saw what I saw and was just trying to help, but clearly I must be a liar and a customer liar at that.
I hate that a good visit was spoiled with poor customer service/communication.
I don’t like being called a liar!

For KOA Journey Newberry Sumter: This an excellent, manicured KOA. Staff was very helpful. Laundry is the cleanest we’ve seen in a year and very reasonably priced! Highly recommended!

For KOA Journey Newberry Sumter: We just stayed one night on our way to Tennessee. The staff is super friendly, the bathhouse is nice and clean, laundry was a nice plus. It was a Saturday night and they had live music in the pavilion which was nice. There's a little store attached to the office. It was a little rainy and there was a lot of puddles and mud. I know the rain is out of their control, but wish there were more gravel used to smooth out the muddy areas. We have a 38 foot travel trailer and it fit in the pull through, but not with the truck. Which was a bummer since we weren't planning on unhooking since it was just a one night stopover. When making your reservation, I suggest adding a couple feet to your rig length to get a site that's long enough. The staff was really nice and kept apologizing for the site. They were pretty booked up so no other options were available. We camped at Newberry / I-26 / Sumter NF KOA in a Travel Trailer.

For KOA Journey Newberry Sumter: Very pleasantly surprising stop! We booked online and then checked in after hours (both very easy), and then were greeted by name when the owners were out doing their evening rounds! We could tell they take a lot of pride in park upkeep and the landscaping was beautiful with a lot of tasteful personal touches. The laundry room was great with 3 washers, and 3 dryers, one of which was a huge hotel style that dried super fast! Would highly recommend this park for a quick stop or very peaceful longer stay!

For KOA Journey Newberry Sumter: New owners who are friendly and accommodating. This may be the cleanest and most squared away campground I’ve ever stayed in. I highly recommend it!

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.
