Retha's Campsite Reviews

I keep this blog to keep track of campgrounds we have stayed in, for our own future reference. Prior to 7/15/22, at the top of each entry is PFR. That was my Pet Friendliness Rating, of one to five *. Five being best. Now I only rate the campsite. We used to travel with 10 small dogs, but sadly, we have lost many of our elderly dogs, and are now down to just 1. So, the multiple dog friendliness is no longer important to us. Prior to 11/1/19, we traveled with 6 - 12 dogs.

Newberry / I-26 / Sumter NF KOA - Kinards, South Carolina

PFR *****

Campground **

This is a very small park. It is clean, and the management is super nice. But, the sites are short, and barely had room for our car, parked sideways. Also, it was difficult to get close enough to the propane tank to get propane. Their hose was not long enough, so we had to turn around and approach it from the wrong direction.

The parking pad is gravel, with a fair amount of grass between sites. The roads are rough gravel.

Site #31

$44.38/night

Length of stay - 1 night

Satellite - All 3

Carolina Pines RV Resort - Conway, South Carolina

PFR ****

Campground *****

This is a brand new park, only open a few years. It is very "upscale". We were at this park for the BRD rally. Our sites were level, long, pull-thru sites, with a good amount of grassy area between sites. There are a lot of outdoor activities, and the on-site restaurant has really great food!!

They have a 3 pet limit, which is our current number. The rules stated no pet fencing allowed. But, after seeing several people using them, we put 2 pens out, and they never told us to take them down.

Site # C-31

$47.14 - weekly rally rate

Length of stay - 7 nights
