A love for the area drew Bert and Gini Bockoven to the Smoky Mountains and a past experience in the camping business made purchasing the Newport/I-40/Smoky Mountains KOA in January 2007, an easy decision.

After experiencing a multitude of professions, including taking part in the family printing business for 25 years; Bert and Gini ran an independent campground in Montana for 5 years. When that venture came to an end they returned home to Florida. After a couple of years of relaxation, Bert knew he had to do something.

Upon seeing the campground, they knew that this area would be perfect to get back into the campground business. "We loved to drive up and see the seasons change and Tennessee has always been my favorite state," says Bert, "The foliage here is beautiful and with the Great Smokies nearby, there really isn't a better place to camp."

Not only is the campground located in a great place, but they also have fabulous work kampers that help give campers a camping experience filled with new and exciting memories. "Our employees are terrific and customer service is important to us, since we want our campers to love the area and the campground as much as we do," says Bert.

Even though there hasn't been a lot of free time yet, when there is, Bert enjoys getting out on the golf course and Gini takes pride in using her professional experience as a florist, on the campground with landscaping.

Biltmore House The Biltmore Estate consists of the House, Gardens and Winery. Biltmore House took six years and 1,000 men to build; it opened its doors on Christmas Eve in 1895. With its 390-foot facade, the House has more than 11 million bricks, 250 rooms, 65 fireplaces, 43 bathrooms, 34 bedrooms, and three kitchens, all of which are contained in over four acres of floor space. The massive stone spiral staircase rises four floors and has 102 steps. Through its center hangs an iron chandelier weighing 1,700 pounds and contains 72 electric light bulbs. You’ll experience a different kind of awe when you walk the Estate’s grounds, Originally more than 125,000 acres of land, the Estate includes wooded parks, six pleasure gardens, a conservatory, and 30 miles of paved roadway. The Biltmore Estate Winery produces more than 50,000 cases of wine per year. Although it is one of the newest wineries, it is the most visited winery in the United States and has won over 100 awards in its first decade.

Dixie Stampede The Dixie Stampede is one of the best places to eat in the Smokies! Enjoy the cast of 250 including 32 fabulous horses. Relive the glory, pageantry and, romance of the 1800s with authentic antebellum costumes and elaborate architecture as a backdrop.
