Checked out the campground when we stopped here to walk the dogs as we drove to the beach last week. Barnwell State Park was one of the CCC built parks from the 1930s. The park itself is small with a small lake that had a picnic ground located on it. The park rents small row boats, kayaks, and canoes. In addition to the campground there are a few cabins if you are meeting up with some non-campers.
The campground itself is not very large with around 35-40 sites. They were all back in sites with pretty standard picnic tables and a fire ring at each site. This part of the state is the sandhills area and is covered pines. It looked like well maintained campground and this part of the state probably attracts locals, fishermen (this part of SC is known for some monster catfish) and hunters in the fall. The surrounding area is mostly farmland or forests which often double as Hunt Clubs. It is off the interstates a pretty good but should be a quiet place to camp escpecially during the week.
