Discover a unique camping experience at our 47-site wooded campground, where you can immerse yourself in nature without the hustle and bustle of "parking lot" camping. Situated on 19 acres in the scenic Piedmont region of South Carolina, we are conveniently located less than a mile off Exit 60 on Interstate 26 in Kinards (pronounced "Ky"-nerds).
During your stay, take advantage of the many outdoor activities available nearby. Enjoy fishing in the serene waters of Lake Murray, explore the hiking trails of Sumter National Forest, or catch a performance at the Newberry Opera House, which offers a variety of shows beyond just opera.

Our campground serves as an ideal stopping point for travelers heading to coastal destinations such as Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Hilton Head, and Savannah, or those simply passing through on their way to Florida, Tennessee, and Georgia. With 28 pull-through, full hook-up sites featuring 30/50 amp service, you can easily roll in, rest, and roll out. We also offer 13 back-in sites equipped with water and electricity, perfect for a quick weekend

Welcome to Monks Hill at Nagatent Temple!
Monks Hill stands as the highest point on the temple grounds, situated at the entrance as you arrive. This tranquil spot offers a sense of quiet serenity, providing a panoramic view of the expansive sky above and the lush valleys below. The profound stillness and peace enveloping the land are a testament to the countless moments cultivated by individuals who have meditated here, a practice that continues to this day. Engaging in meditation is truly a rewarding pastime at Nagatent Temple.
During the organic blackberry season, the entire hillside exudes a delightful aroma, complemented by the blossoming native flowers, creating a sensory experience that is truly remarkable.

Quiet, small compound for no more than 6 campers. You are on top of a hill from which you can glimpse the lake. Walk down the well maintained path and onto the dock and the view of the lake opens up. I enjoyed bird watching and star gazing while I was there. I plan to return.

Owners communicated very well, stopped through on Saturday morning and introduced himself. Was receptive to a suggestion I made for the campsite - they had brought in crush and run, but had a low point where my passenger side tires sat making it unlevel. He gave suggestions for things that were happening in town. The dock is brand new, site was clean. Visited the Lake Monticello Recreation area not far which was also nice. Can’t beat the price, would recommend, especially for a group of campers! Rent all 6 sites and enjoy the group fire pit together!

We loved this site on Lake Monticello. Very easy as far as directions and ability to pull into the campsite very smoothly with our 35 ft camper(we stayed in site 1)! We loved how calm and quiet the campground was, and it was definitely a plus being able to go down to the lake straight from the campsite! Our dog even got to enjoy the lake for a little bit as well! As this was our first time at this campground, definitely 10/10 recommend and will come back and camp again! And the owners are very nice and friendly!

Very well kept campground, peaceful part of the lake. Neighbors behind us were loud until 11:40 pm, right outside our bedroom window, but that wasn’t the host’s fault at all. Besides that, it was amazing! I’d definitely come back.
