Big Rig Friendly RV Resort – Columbia, SC
We had a long tow from central Florida to the North Carolina mountains. The end-to-end trip was going to be over 12 hours and was more than I wanted to bear in a single drive. We searched for a mid-stop somewhere in South Carolina for an overnight. We wanted at a minimum, water and electricity with the 100 degree July days and knew both the front and rear air conditioners would be needed. We found a new campground, Big Rig Friendly RV Resort, located in West Columbia, SC. This is a very nice campground and as the name implies, is very big rig friendly. A campground we’ll definitely add to our return list for future travels.
Big Rig Friendly RV Resort
Aside from all the amenities, we could instantly tell the campground was designed with the strong understanding of what RV travelers need to access a campground and park with ease. The roads were wide. Campsite access and exit proved little effort to park and leave. The campground is new, but sites were well maintained and each offered, 50A power, water, sewer, cable, and WiFi.
The campground has a number of pull-through sites, along with spacious back-ins. Check-in process was simple, took minutes to receive documentation, and the office staff was very friendly and helpful sharing the amenities of the campground along with restaurants nearby.
At check in, the campground provides a guide to take you to the site and offer parking guidance if needed. Not something Joan and I typically need, but we thought is was a nice touch.
Along with the site amenities the campground offers a playground for the kids, well equipped exercise facility, clubhouse, fenced dog walk and dog wash station, very large laundry with side area with comfortable seating, TV, and games to keep the kids happy. The campground also has a new, large swimming pool and 4 pickle ball courts that were a few short weeks from opening.
Something we thought was novel are the buddy sites. These offer covered door facing sites for a pair of RVs, great for family and friends to hang out. See the video below for details

Driving to the Campground from I-26
One tip we strongly recommend to access the site from I-26. DO NOT follow the route offered by your GPS or Google Maps. There’s a lot of construction in the area and you want to follow the directions from the Big Rig Friendly RV Resort website. When we called the campground offices prior to arrival to confirm our spot was available, they were kind to share their suggested route which made the drive from the Interstate to the campground a breeze.
We only stayed overnight, but we were very impressed with the campground, staff and all the location has to offer.
We received no compensation for this review, paid full price for our campsite, and share this information to help others find quality places to enjoy during their RV travels.
