Barnyard RV Park

The name is wrong, it should be "The Great Pond RV Park". Nice pond with lots of fish, ducks, turtles, cranes and a nice observation deck to feed them. Really nice Campground near all the conveniences of the city just a few miles away. Sites were spaced far enough for some boundary but close enough for visiting neighbors. Clubhouse is a bit small & outdated. Bathhouse is ok. Some sites have drainage issues after heavy rain. On premise propane filling station.

OUR BIKES WERE STOLEN off the back of our motorhome. We had a Thule bike carrier and 3 extra locks, they cut everything, stole our bikes and our carrier was ruined. Our neighbor in the next site said they had their bikes stolen last year here, and when they stay here they leave them inside their motorhome overnight.There is a huge sign when you check in that they are not responsible for thefts or vandalism. Obviously this is a reoccurring problem here, the office said there is nothing they could do. If they know there’s a problem, why don’t they ramp up security or post patrols? They could even put a gate that you’d need a combination to get into the campground with a security camera to record all incoming and outgoing vehicles.

Our primary reason for staying here was its proximity to Congaree National Park, a half-hour's drive and worth a visit. There are several long-term residents, but everyone was pleasant and quiet. We didn't use the laundry, but it appeared clean, and the front desk employee allowed me to get $50 worth of quarters without batting an eye. The park is directly adjacent to a huge weekend flea market that offered everything from local honey to small reptiles. It was a fun way to spend a morning browsing and picking up a few sundry items. It is a very short, easy drive to groceries and supplies. Verizon wasn't great, but the park's WiFi worked well.

This park worked for a quick overnight stop as we were passing through- but definitely not a stay for days kind of place. The sites are too close together with no trees to shade and the traffic drove WAY too fast through the campground so we couldn't let our kids ride their bikes. Fortunately we just made dinner, went to bed, and left before breakfast in the morning. But we got electricity and wifi so I could do some work for the night.

Needed an overnight on our way to Myrtle Beach. Barnyard was at our half way point. I called to book and was told the only availability they had was in the overflow section, which did not have sewer. No biggy since it was a one night stay. When we arrived we were told they had a cancellation and we had been moved to a full hook up, pull thru-site. A nice, very accommodating surprise.

I was afraid based on the first couple hours that it would be noisy, but by 10 pm it was quiet. The lot was level enough that we didn’t unhook from the truck.
