In the world of hospitality, NPS is one of the most trusted indicators of how well a business delivers on customer experience. A score in the 70s is world-class, and many KOA campgrounds reach this level. But, a 99? That’s nearly unheard of—and it highlights something special happening at Newberry/I-26/Sumter NF KOA.
From the moment campers arrive, this KOA sets the tone with warm hospitality, spotless grounds, and an atmosphere that feels more like home than a temporary stay. Guests consistently rave about:

Thoughtful amenities, including a saltwater pool, dog park, playground, gaga ball pit, gem mining sluice, and more. Plus, a General Store, the Kinardia Kitchen, and modern, clean facilities.
It’s the harmony of these details—paired with genuine care from the staff—that elevates the campground beyond expectations.
Becoming the number one KOA for customer satisfaction is no small feat. With over 500 KOA locations across North America, competition is tough. Really tough. An NPS score of 99 signals that guests aren’t just satisfied—they’re enthusiastic, loyal, and eager to recommend the campground to others.
