Newberry / I-26 / Sumter NF KOA Journey Recreation

We're a year-round campground because there's always something to do at Newberry, SC KOA!
In the summer, take a dip in our saltwater pool.
In the fall and winter, cozy up to a campfire and a star-studded Carolina sky.
During the spring, watch Mother Nature rejuvenate herself.
Any time of the year, kids can enjoy scavenger hunts and our playground. We also have games to borrow, from horseshoes and croquet to giant checkers and corn hole.

Wanna "stay in?" You can borrow a movie from our DVD collection or take a book from our lending library. (Leaving one, too, is optional.)

We also offer monthly events to support our favorite charities. Check out our "Events" tab for the latest information.

Feeling adventurous? Lake Murray and Lake Greenwood offer easy day trips for the whole family to enjoy. 
Like hikes? Explore Sumter National Forest and nearby hiking trails, like Musgrove Mill.
Like wine? We're within an hour's drive of five different wineries. 

When we say we're in the middle of everywhere, we mean it!
