We were very happy with our stay at Magnolia RV Park, which is conveniently located off Hwy 26. We were here just one night in space #31 which was directly across from the office store. It was a nice long pull through, so we did not have to unhook the toad. However, if we were staying longer I’d ask for a more remote site, the bright outside lights on the office were left on all night.
The park is well kept, with clean bathrooms and showers. The staff were friendly and helpful. Spaces have adequate separation and each site has a fire pit and picnic table. Sites are mostly full hook-up with 30 or 50-amp electric. There are mature trees for shade, but only a few spaces have vegetation between them to provide privacy. Roads and sites are dirt/gravel with a grassy area.
There is an office/store, bathhouse with showers and a laundry, pet area, playground, and swimming pool. They also offer propane at a reasonable price so it was very convenient to fill up before leaving.
We had 2 bars of Verizon 4G, but the park offered free WiFi and it worked great! Good Sam discount too!

This was a wonderful overnight park to get to the beach. Very clean, everything well placed. The owners are also campers themselves. Our side was so level we did not have to unhook our 5er. When we pulled in it was level left, right, front and back. It had a lot of campers for that looked to be overnighting on the way to the beach. Had a pool playground. Lots of room on the site.

October 2020 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. 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. The road driving into the park was quite narrow. Glad to not encounter another travel trailer coming the opposite way.
Tip: When making your reservation, I suggest adding a couple feet to your rig length to get a site that's long enough.

Campground is easy to find. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly. At check in they give you restaurant and shopping recommendations for the area. Staff escorted us to our site. The site was wide enough and long enough for easy access (site was about 100 feet long). The sites are very level. All sites have gravel with no bare spots. Park has flowers, gnomes and other decorations throughout the park. WIFI was fast enough to stream and watch TV. Bathrooms were very clean and roomy. They have a scavenger for children along with lots of painted rocks throughout the campground. This place is going all out with improvements for the sites, expanding camp area, building a water wheel for kids to pan for stones and other things. There is a very nice pavilion that they host events are. The dog park is very well maintained with benches in the shady for us to enjoy while the dogs explored the park. Make sure you walk around at night as there are soft sting lights all around the park.

Arrival - Pre arrival communication, in the form of email and text, was very welcomed. Easy travel to the campground. Arrival lane very long and right at the office. Ladies in the office were fantastically accommodating and friendly.
Tips - None really.
Favorites - Family atmosphere, the "Gnome Hunt" for the kids. Playground, pool, the grounds are immaculate and the staff is the friendliest we've come across in four years and 140 different campgrounds. Nice open sky for StarLink usage. Park WiFi was pretty darn good @ 15 Mbps down and 35 Mbps up.
Negatives - None that we have come across.

Very family friendly! Our kids loved the gnome scavenger hunt and the tween zip line. Staff was VERY helpful on a holiday weekend when we had concerns about a severe weather forecast. Clean, easy in/out, and even the bath house smelled good!
Nice place, friendly people, also doing some nice upgrades. The exit area in the park needs to be widened to accommodate larger RVs towing.
