Open All Year

Our family-run Asheville West KOA offers great accommodations for everyone from tenters to RVers.

Welcome to Appalachia! Come camp with us and enjoy the best of Blue Ridge Mountains camping! Our family-run Asheville West KOA offers great accommodations for everyone from tenters to RVers. Our tent sites are beautifully wooded, and our "Big Rig" friendly 50 and 30 amp pull-through sites are large, level, and have cable TV and FREE WI-FI! Don't have an RV, or tent camping is not for you? No problem! You can "rough it" in comfort, staying in one of our cozy cabins or lodges.

Relax with us and wake to the chirping of a variety of birds, you'll enjoy their song throughout the day. Enjoy scenic North Carolina hiking on our wonderful nature trail, easily accessed from any of our camp sites. You'll enjoy surrounding yourself in the beauty of trees, flowers and wildlife.

Children of all ages will love the pool, game room and our holiday activities. Our campground is not far from all the fun and excitement of white water rafting, gem mines, vineyards, the Biltmore House, Pisgah National Forest, Chimney Rock, and many other attractions. Plan on camping an extra day or two- there's so much to see and do!

Come and see us! Our KOA is under new management, is family-owned and family-oriented. We hope to see you soon!

The Asheville West KOA is "Going Green!" Look for the recycle barrels behind the office and next to the comfort station on the back loop.

Theme Weekends- Live entertainment, crafts, crazy games, tournaments, t-shirt decorating, water balloon launching and more! Fun for kids of all ages. Read the Asheville West KOA Funfinder for all the details.

The Nance and Polasky families became owners of the Asheville West, NC KOA in March 2008. "We want to build lasting relationships with our campers and deliver a GREAT, SAFE, FAMILY-ORIENTED camping experience for everyone," says owner Rex Nance.

"We were all looking for a fun way to bring the whole family together; we've been campers for the majority of our lives, and we knew managing a campground would be a perfect way to combine our skills and unite our family," says Rex.

Everyone in the family brings unique experience to the business: Ray was a retired Chief of Forestry; Hildie was a retired Medical Technologist; Rex worked as an IT executive for a payment processor; Heather spent her time educating their daughter; Julia is a competitive Figure Skater; Ethan Polasky managed a saw mill and flooring factory in northern New Mexico, while his wife, Sophia, worked as a medical professional in Santa Fe, New Mexico; and Justin Polasky worked in the food service industry there.

"We love the cleanliness of the entire campground and the nice, shaded camp sites, as well as the mountains, trees and nature trails. We enjoy being able to help people with a full-hearted passion!" Rex says.

The large family has a variety of things they love to do, including fishing, paintball, cycling, hiking, reading, swimming, remote control cars, 4-wheeling, softball, and arts and crafts.
