An absolutely beautiful and quiet campground. This place is so peaceful and full of history. This has become one of our new favorite places to go. The staff are very friendly and helpful as well. We will be returning in the near future! They have numerous places in the park to relax, eat lunch, and build a fire. We enjoyed the playground, fishing, and walking the trail. They also have horseshoe games and paddle boats. There is something for everyone to do! Thanks to the staff for making our stay more comfortable!

Nice old park. Could use some work on the older buildings but for a Civilian Conservation Corps park it's great! Be careful to follow trail signs as it's very easy to get lost from the Dogwood TrailPlayground: Nice playground for kids. New wood swing frame.Restrooms: Multiple throughout. Bathrooms by the park office are CCC built.Dog-friendliness: Must be on leashPicnic area: Picnic areas throughout the park

Love this little old style park. It is inexpensive - ($20.00) with water and electric. Blackville is 3 miles away and is home to some excellent local eateries.

This was our first time taking our new camper out. Barnwell State Park was awesome! We camped on site 15 and had plenty of room for our 30 foot camper and Ford F150 truck. Ray was a great camp host and checked on us several times. We had a family Thanksgiving event in Blackville the weekend after Thanksgiving and this was the perfect place for us to camp; as it was only 10 minutes from the location of our event. Our family had a great time and we will definitely be back. As soon as we get home we will be making our reservations for this same weekend next year.

Beautiful state park built by the CCC in the 1930's. Needs work on the spillways. Campground road needs repaving. Campground needs anew bathhouse. More RV sites would be nice. We camped here twice this trip. Going south and returning north. Campground full on Saturday. A group of Scouts with their families put the primitive camping area to good use. It was great seeing families enjoying this park. On Tuesday and Wednesday just 6 to 8 campsites being used. November 7th and 8th.Playground: Nice playground in day use area.Restrooms: Need updates.Picnic area: Pretty place for a picnic.

Pros of camping here: mostly clean facilities, friendly staff, individual water spigots for each campsite and electrical hook ups plus access to trails.Cons of camping here: if you are tent camping, be aware that photos are a bit misleading. The sites that appear waterfront have an enormous tree line between them so the only view you have is the woods, and EVERYONE else. Zero privacy whatsoever, no trees between you and other sites. When we arrived, someone who did not have a reservation was parked in our site.. our neighbors blasted music all night long and we’re very loud with their “evening activities”. The trails were great but I wouldn’t camp here again because it doesn’t feel much like camping when you hear and see everyone there.

Great park. Very clean, and it was quiet. I loved the waterfall, and I got to enjoy some fishing and even caught a few small bluegill

The park staff very friendly and accommodating during our stay. Cabin was clean and renovated nicely (cabin-5). The park is very peaceful and clean. The only negative was fishing experience which was unexpected.
