RV Reviews

Wonderful people that take great care -- both with the people that stay there and also with the grounds/facilities. Everything was neat and clean - the pool area convenient and inviting. The two issues are 1} low hanging branches and power lines both on the property but also on the approach road and 2} level enough sites for big rigs.

Booked a week because KOAs near Gatlinburg / Dollywood were booked for the week. I question this KOA. As prior reviews, it is more of a trailer park with extra spots for over nighters. Seems to be a local hangout or a place to rent the pool for the day for parties. Not the greatest of areas and freeway noise. Ok for the night or two, but not much nearby, and pool seems to get full with locals

Great KOA Journey site plenty of mature trees and shade well-kept pride of ownership shows through in the way the staff treats people and in the condition of the sites.

Great place, like almost all KOAs! I do have a small beef and it probably lies with the website more than the Newport/I-40/ Smoky Mts KOA. I was charged for 3 adults and we had two adults and a child. We found this out at the next KOA we stayed at. I filled out the reservations and know I put in 2 adults and a child for each of the three KOA's we stayed at.

Great campground. I realize it is in the mountains, but the internet seemed non existent

Stayed in about 14 KOAs in a cross country trip and this was our least favorite.

This is a great short stop Journey. We had a good, level spot with full hook ups...including Cable TV! Everything you need is there...pool, store, propane, wood, etc. The staff were friendly and helpful. Campground was kept clean and well-maintained. It is obvious that the owners and staff are working to improve each day.

This is the 3rd or 4th time we have stayed there as a first night starting point for longer trips. It is a clean campground, has nice staff and facilities and is easy on and off from I-40.

Very nice campground. Slightly uneven spaces, but workable. Excellent owners and laundry room.
May 25, 2021
First site was not level. 2nd site much better. Entrance is overgrown and very narrow for class A, 40 or 45 ft and possible 36'. We are 40 ft towing. Branches from trees scraped our roof and antenna. Felt relieved we were only staying overnight.

It was a short, one-night stay but it was our second one-night stay here. It is wooded, shaded and well-maintained. It is not fancy but we liked it!

One night stay, only in route to final destination. The only complaint I have and it is with all KOAs is the sites are entirely too small and often the pad requires some modification in order to level my trailer.

Extreme highway noise. Campground needed updated. Restroom was clean. Paint peeling off picnic table, looked nasty.

Spent one night It was all good
May 16, 2021
Camp site was tight, and transition point from trailer to tow vehicle had a substantial slope. Tree branches too low, rubbing on trailer roof. Staff was very friendly.
May 14, 2021
The park was quiet, orderly and well kept.
May 14, 2021
All good except cable doesn't work - no signal.
May 14, 2021
Lovely place but great deal of noise from the nearby highway.
May 14, 2021
Super friendly greeting. Easy off expressway and a good Mexican restaurant just down the road.
May 13, 2021
Campground facilities were the cleanest of any KOA we have stayed at. Staff was extremely helpful and kind from the time of making reservations through our stay. The highway noise was as expected.

There was plenty of room for my dog to play and walk. Site were nice and level. Lots of shade. Very friendly staff.
May 12, 2021
Wonderful camp ground, and we’ll taken care of. Wish we could have stayed longer. Staff was extremely helpful.

Well situated to travel to local locations. We traveled to Asheville/Biltmore; Cherokee Reservation; Great Smokey Mountain Park; Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge; Knoxville. Right next to I-40, literally! We slept well despite all the truckers noises. The camp spot was not the cleanest. Our picnic table, hadn't been cleaned in a long time; our fire ring had trash in it. Office staff never wore a mask.

Super nice staff. The campground is small but very easy to navigate with a 33 foot motorhome towing a small car. Bought propane there for a good price too. All in all one of the better KOAs that I have visited recently.

This RV park is in a beautiful setting…wooded and scenic. I would rate it higher except the amenities are fairly minimal and the facilities are older. The sites are good but sewer stations, etc. are old and seem to be in need of maintenance. Love the setting and all of the trees. It is very close to I-40 so if traffic noise bothers you, you may not be happy.

This KOA should not be rated as a KOA. The park is old and not well care far. Far too many permanent residents. It reminded me of an old run down Mobile Home Park. We did not feel safe and would have left if other lodging was available. We will never return; nor recommend this park to others.

For my visit, the noise from I40 was too loud. The WIFI was very poor and impacted our planned activity (work related). Laundry facilities hours were not convenient.
May 08, 2021
Our pull thru site was narrow and uneven. The wifi was very slow. Laundry room had daytime hours. I would use again only for an overnight stay.
May 06, 2021
Mostly full timers. Next to I-40 with lots of traffic noise. Very narrow road entering with small bridge without guard rails. Lots of trees too close to sites. Fire pit was full of cigarette butts and wrapper. Not a place to feel good about.

Loved all the open area to walk the dogs. We are not used to the road noise, so that bothered us some at night. We loved the dog park area for our dogs. The bench does need repairs. We were afraid to sit on it. The camping sites were great and evenly spaced. The office staff was friendly and eager to help.

Great shady sites, fantastic laundry room, friendly people and staff.

Tight sites, very clean and quiet.

I suggest ignoring the terrible reviews. We found this campground to be clean and friendly. Decent-sized gravel sites are not perfectly level, but you're in the mountains. We did not need blocks under tires to be comfortable. When outdoors, it's true you can hear highway traffic... but the bonus is the location with easy access off and onto I-40. Enjoyed seeing the cows on neighboring property and had a morning visit from one!
