Lexington, SC

With easy access from two major highways - I20 & I26 - The Barnyard RV park in Lexington, SC is easy to find. It’s situated out behind a large flea market on US-1.

It’s one of our favorite weekend locations. The entire park is very level with parking consisting of huge pull-thru sites down to whatever you need. Row “A” provides parallel parking right along the backside of the flea market. Row “B” provides huge pull thru FHU sites with 50 amps and CATV. The seasonal sites are not integrated with the short term RV sites and are located at the rear of the park.

Less than a mile down the road from the Barnyard flea market is another - open air - flea market that sets-up for business on the weekends. It’s on an old outdoor drive-in movie location with lots of parking.

Just down US-1 in Lexington there is a very unique restaurant. As the name implies it has an Aircraft Carrier motif. Having served on many of them I enjoy going there to reminisce and have a great sandwich.

I’m going to provide some dialog for these pictures as I post them. As always you can click on any of them for enlargement. The two links above are active for browsing.

We have stayed here a number of times over the years and these pictures will be from three of our visits. We like row “C” - first set of pictures - because the sites are much nicer with some trees and are more grassy. Sometimes we have friends drive down from Greenville to stay with us on the weekends.
















Next is a view up row A&B to the office and one of the wash rooms. Then there is another view down row "C" looking at the second washroom and into the seasonal parking area. Then there are the two class "A" rigs that were identical and belonged to middle aged identical twin brothers. Both were towing Jeep SUVs. They were parked on row "D".

















The next two pictures are from another weekend stay on row "C". The little View parked on our left belonged to a single lady (fulltimer) traveling the country. Her little View is her only transportation.


 


In the next series of pictures we have taken a site in row "B". We were returning from Florida. It was still pretty cool and the trees and grass were still dormant. There is a nice picture of an empty site on row "B" that shows just how large those sites are and their proximity to the flea market. You can see some of the hook-ups on row "A". Then I found some big boys playing with their flea market toys.
