Working at our campground:
“Centrally located in the middle of everywhere” is the best way to describe our 49-site, wooded journey campground. You’ll find us half a mile off exit 60 on I-26–within an hour’s drive of Columbia, Spartanburg, Greenwood, and Greenville, Lakes Murray and Greenwood. Plus, lots of nearby trails, lakes, and wineries to explore! Did we mention we have super speedy WiFi, and a dog park? We’re excited to meet y’all, so please send your workamping resume to us: newberrysc@koa.com with a subject line of “We're Great!”
Special Note: We are a Family & Veteran-Owned and Operated KOA Journey Campground. We are award-winning and ranked 1st in the KOA Nation for customer service and satisfaction in 2025. We are inviting you to join our Tribe–our family. We understand the workamping and full-timer lifestyle. We’ve done it. We want you to leave the campground to have fun and explore this amazing, beautiful, and historic state! This position is perfect for a retired couple; however, this isn’t the place for folks who need to support a family or are looking for an income. Couples only! If you have any questions, please feel free to call our office and ask for me: Becci, The Director Of Smiles and Co-Owner.
