A very nice park. The spaces are large and the park is very quiet. The owners are very friendly and helpful. I stayed 2 weeks and will come back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Easy to reach, sites are large, level and, in the section we were in, had a concrete pad. Very hot in summer as trees are small and do not provide a lot of shade. Restrooms and showers were very clean and a pleasure to use. You get a code when you come in, which allows you to use the restrooms. This prevent kids playing in them, but since campground has no pool or playground, family do not really camp there. Quiet at night, close to malls, Columbia and next door to a week-end flea market. Will go back. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
It is basically a grassy, sandy field behind a flea market. The online ad lists it as a Good Sam Park, but it isn't. Also, it is listed as having wireless internet. It doesn't. It is located way out in the country. With all of the above said, it is fairly convenient to Colombia and there is very little else in the way of RV parks in the area. We stayed there while attending a USC ballgame. Many full timers who didn't keep their older units neat. One nice thing, even though the park is miles from town, there were some really good little local restaurants in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a clean, grassy, quiet park with easy access to Columbia. It is beautifully maintained with shaded sites. Long term guests are welcome as well as short term guests. We enjoyed our stay there and highly recommend it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stopped in here as we traveled to Florida and we were lucky to get the last spot, an "overflow" site. It still had electric/water/cable and was perfectly nice! If you like Flea Markets - this is the spot for you!! It's next to a HUGE flea market - although I'm glad we missed the congestion THAT must cause on weekends :-) We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground was okay. I was surprised that they switched me to a smaller site even though I reserved a large, pull through well in advance. There are too many busy bodies (residents) walking around giving orders and snooping. I would stay here again, but would look at other options first. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Easy access from I-20, big rig friendly, friendly staff. This is a great place for an overnighter or to stay for a few days if you need to be in the area. 100' pull-throughs and about 24 yards between pads. Cement patios with lots of green grass between lots. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The location of the Barnyard RV Park threw us off a bit because it was behind a flea market. It wasn't hard to find though. Upon arrival, check-in was a breeze. The campground was clean and the sites offered plenty of space. We only stayed overnight but it only took us one night to find that the bathrooms were up to date and clean. There is no pool but that was okay since we were not there for too long. It was a nice quiet place to stay especially when you're exhausted from a long drive. They had cable hook-ups and there was a decent variety of channels. There was good water pressure and no problems with 30 amps. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here two nights ...this is a very nice park and will go back again when in the area.. park is clean and staff is friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have visited this park many times as we have family in the area and it is conviently located. Office staff and owners of the park are very friendly and accommodating always. We were going to stay 3 weeks and the staff worked with us to help us determine that a monthly rate would be more economical for us. We were in the back of the park away from the busy flea market. The power is excellent at this park. Each site has two sewer connections so you have a choice of which serves you best. Good water pressure. Sites are long and accomodate big rigs and are pull throughs. The sites in the front of the park are very good for overnight stays. The park will accept mail. Since we are fulltimers this is very helpful. We appreciate this park and the amenities they offer!! Just another note of help..there is a propane company located in the parking lot of the flea market very convenient to anyone staying at the RV Park. This is very helpful if you need to purchase propane. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great spot, simple, close to Columbia which offer many attactions including a world class zoo. All of the necessary store are within 2-3 miles, lowes, Walmart and it is next door to Piggily Wiggily, Auto Zone, barber, liquor store and there is a propane dealer in the parking lot of the flea. I stay here because it is directly behind a first class huge flea market which I have sold at many times and it is as good as a full blown antique show for profitability. The campground is simple, clean, very friendly. The sites are large with cement patios. You can't beat the price for what you get. This park is in my top five Favorites. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We enjoyed this park for a visit to Columbia area. We had a large pull through site, with a cement pad. The front part of the park is for the transient or non-permanent travelers. The sites are all very accommodating and certainly plenty wide between rigs. Wi-Fi is extra, currently $4.95 per day with Tengo internet. We'd camp here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice RV park. It's older, but the sites are large and level gravel. It has some permanent residents in it, but they are mostly retired people. It is fairly quiet, although it is behind a flea market so the weekends are probably not as quiet. This is really a good value for the money all in all. Internet is extra, but it is faster than a lot of the free wi-fi available. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a large park behind a huge flea market. The only positive for this park is the friendly staff! The sites are very close together and sandy. Many of the residents are permanent with old trailers and motorhomes. They advertise WiFi, but it is only available for an additional charge. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed at the park for two months visiting with family in the area. We have stayed at the Barnyard over the past several years and have always found the staff to be very friendly and the service excellent. The park is conveniently located to everything in Lexington/Columbia. We would recommend the park to anyone wishing to visit the area. The sites are long and convenient pull-throughs!! We look forward to our next visit! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great spot, not fancy but quiet, nice people, good sites, right next to a class A flea market. Close to a world class zoo. I will put this on my list of favorites. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A couple of weeks ago we spent three nights at the Barnyard RV park in Columbia, SC (actually, Lexington). There isn't much to add to this great review; http://www.maliasmiles.com/scarolina/barnyard.htm. Just about everything on their web page ( http://www.barnyardrvpark.com/Index.html ) is up to date. We were there for the flea market and stayed Thursday, Friday, & Saturday nights and our cost with Good Sam discount was $79.00 and change for a Full Hook Up with 50 amps. We had site B8 which was less than 100 yards from the first booth in the flea market. The flea market is well organized and large. There is another smaller one less than a mile down US1. Went to Fort Jackson to get our prescriptions refilled and visited the commissary and stocked up on meat & potatoes. The BX was super busy as there was a Brigade home on leave from Iraq and they were sure having a great time shopping. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Overall a good park with long, wide spaces and easy ingress and egress. I was, however, a little ticked off when, after I had reserved a specific site months in advance, they moved me to a spot at the very end of the park next to the duck pond (try dodging duck crap all day). The wi-fi is with the worst internet service provider in the industry (Tengo), and it worked only half the time yet it cost $5.00 daily--what a ripoff. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is fine for a one night stop. I would not want to stay any longer than this. Personnel in the office were very nice and also very helpful. (800) 633-6351 We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
All roads are asphalt, sites are hard packed gravel, and level. Table on site, no fire ring or open fire here. Wi-Fi worked well. Trees are small but have some shade. Park was full at time of our visit. I also agree that park is better now with clean up work in rear on permanent sites. Everything is close by, food, stores, places to eat, fuel, and shopping. Pond in park with ducks. No road noise. No play ground equipment for kids. Next door to large flea market Fri. Sat. and Sun only. Hookup's are in the correct place. We will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Huge pull through sites, easy access, didn't need to disconnect the toad. Stayed overnight but will probably stay here again on the way home. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice campground. We stayed in a pull thru space behind the office. These spaces are very long and roomy with a concrete patio. Not much shade, but the spaces are great. Staff was friendly. Conveniently located off of I-20. Campground is next to a big flea market with lots of interesting items to see during the weekend. We visit the area several times a year and will be staying here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stopped here to take a break on our trip to Texas. This was perfect for our purposes. Staff was helpful and the park was clean and orderly. Pull-through sites were long. The sites were not very wide, but for our purposes that did not matter at all. All-in-all, a good value for the money. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Love this campground, but we were late in reserving and we were placed in the back. Large site with a cement slab. We were pleased with the site. However, we had neighbor that seem to be there for the season, they had numerous kids, ATV's of all kind and were Very Noisy on Saturday morning (with mechanical repairs on various motorcycles. Since we were there for only 2 day, we left after only one. But we will go back and make sure we have a center site. Restrooms were clean and campground has easy access from I-20 or I-26. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Stayed here for 2 days. Nice park , nice people. Electric was off. I'm pretty sure the park electric toasted my transfer switch. I bought a surge protector because of this park's electric. Easy access to flea markets. Short drive to Fair Grounds. Would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Sites are large enough with a small concrete patio. Water pressure good at 55PSI. Power good at 124V. Cable TV is included. WIFI available for a fee. Restrooms and showers are fairly new and clean. Very good park off the interstate so it is quiet. Great overnight or for a few days. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The sites in the area we were assigned (the B section, near the office) were pull-thru and level. They weren't hugely wide, but were perfectly fine. We had a small, raised concrete pad. The cable hook-up worked fine. There are lots of open sky sites for anyone who needs one. Because of the frigid weather (night temps in the mid-teens), the water was turned off between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. A note in the office informed us about that when we checked in, so it didn't come as a surprise. There aren't any fire rings--a big plus in my book--so you don't have other people's smoke seeping into your ventilation system. The RV Park is behind the Barnyard Flea Market. To get to the campground, you can enter the flea market area and drive around behind those buildings. Big rigs (40'-45' especially) will want to take this route, instead of going to the traffic light at Oak Drive and turning left, then left again into the campground. There's plenty of room to walk pets, especially when the flea market isn't operating. (It runs Friday, Saturday, Sunday). The campground and the flea market are connected, more or less; there are some bushes and a grassy strip between the two, but no real fence between them. You can walk to a grocery store nearby. Several dumpsters are located around the grounds, and pet waste disposal bags are provided at one end of the campground (on the same side as the motorhome storage area). The laundry room had several machines, and the cost was very reasonable ($1 each for washing and drying). All in all, I'd stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Considering that this park is located in a city environment, this is a very nice park. Very close to Columbia. All sites are full hookups with 30/50 amp power. Pay Wi-Fi and free cable TV. Sites are level and have 30 foot separation between sites. Well maintained except for some badly warped picnic tables. A few long term folks, most with attractive appearance and no piles of junk. Concrete patio pads. The rooster seems to have lost the ability to keep track of time, now crows weakly in the afternoon--senility?? Those who want a pool should choose a RV Park Resort. Weekly and monthly rates. This is our third stay here and we will come back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is one of those campgrounds that you are forced into using because it’s the only game in town. You don’t get “comfort amenities”, but the basics are available. Easy access to the interstate, cable, full hook ups, laundry, and bath facilities to name a few. Water pressure and voltage were good. TV and cell coverage were also good. Space between sites was adequate. There is some road noise from a nearby two-lane highway. Wi-Fi is available on a pay for use basis. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Upside: Wide & long pull-thru sites, our site was level, grass, clear southern exposure for satellite dish, close to shopping, relatively quiet. Downside: Awakened by the free-roaming chickens in the park crowing before dawn, followed closely by the geese honking in the "duck pond." Ask for site away from duck pond. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was a pretty good campground. Choices in the Columbia area are slim, and this one worked out well. The park is sort of bare bones (no pool or other "extras") but made a good base as I had business in the area. Easy to get to from I-26 or I-20, easy to get in and out of the sites. Park was clean, and staff helpful. Wireless Internet was $4/day, and I had a very good signal inside the camper. Had a good selection of cable channels. Mix of long term and short term visitors. Short term in front of campground, long term in back. I'll stay here again when in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We enjoy this park, every time we are near the area we go back here. I have noticed they are starting to clean out some of the older permanent rigs out of the park, making it look a lot better. Just wish they had a swimming pool. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here for three nights while attending the Masters practice rounds. Very clean campground with full hook-ups and cable TV at all sites. Wi-fi worked well. No pool or amenities for kids. Close to the zoo and museums. We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Easy access. Good interior roads. Very quiet with large pull through sites. Great for overnight or longer stay. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A very nice park. Sites are large and the staff was very polite. Would be nicer if sites were either paved or concrete. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice park with excellent ingress and egress, and very long pull through sites and concrete patios. Very reasonably priced with free multi-channel cable TV. Pay wi-fi but, at these prices, I can't complain. I would stay here again on an overnight or week long basis. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A very nice park with friendly staff. Paved roads into and throughout the park. Nice level grass sites with concrete pads. Clean, well maintained, and accommodating staff. We will definitely stay here again when in the area. Go Gators! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Easy access behind The Barnyard Flea Market. Could be difficult when the flea market is open. Great interior roads. Located a few miles off of Exit 58 of I-20. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice park to spend the night. All sites are dirt. You can see some gravel from the past or years ago. All roads are blacktop and free of pot holes. Sites are level and have space around them. Very nice modem room with two large desks. One desk has high speed service and other a 56KB land line. No road noise, lake next to park with ducks. Cable TV has a lot of channels to look at. Number of old units in one end of park, need some work. Over night people stay near office in other end of park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very well maintained, clean and tidy campground. Easy in and easy out. Arrival reception very pleasant and friendly. Good level big rig pull-thru sites with 50 amp service and green grass. The campground is more of an "overnighter", not really a destination campground. Gigantic ajoining flea market on the weekends. Very clean restroom and laundry facilities. You are given a restroom door code to unlock the facilities when you check in. This was our second visit and we will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is about 8-10 miles west of Columbia, SC. Easy access, LP on site. One telephone
modem in office that closes at 8pm. The park is a flat open field next to a 500 vendor weekend flea market. Adequate space between sites, some small concrete patio pads. Very large shopping malls are about 10 miles away on I-26. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park O.K. for a stop over or a week. Sites are not to close together. Flea market next door, close to super market, gas pumps, and other places. Short drive to Columbia. No trees and in the summer it is hot! We camped here in a camper.
