Staff was excellent and very friendly. Bathrooms and other accommodations were very clean. The kids enjoyed all of the activities, especially the dance!

It was a bit crowded in the space we were in but there are larger lots but we’re already booked. The grounds were extremely nice and had a big pond on the back of property and a beautiful creek ran through property. Nice big areas for picnicking by the creek or as long no one else was around, we played frisbee with our goldendoodle. Food truck for breakfast and coffee was very good.

Unfortunately we were somewhat disappointed. The bed was very uncomfortable, the TV remote in the living room didn't work, there was ALOT of hwy noise, not to mention the 1am train whistle each morning, but the reason we checked out early was because we found mouse droppings under the kitchen sink.

We love this KOA. We felt like we were in a state campground right next to the beautiful pond. No sewer but the $10 fee to have it pumped was so worth it. The staff is great and very accommodating. THE amenities are great. If ever back here this is our place.

We love our spot (D26) on the lower lake. It had some great views. The staff were so friendly. We definitely will be back.

This was my first stay at East KOA....I usually stay at West KOA close to family who live in Asheville... Now, I will ALWAYS stay at EAST KOA!!!! The staff was so friendly and accommodating and I felt safe there. I sometimes travel alone and it is comforting to know that you are open around the clock and patrol around. Good job!!

We travel around the United States, Mexico and Canada with our 5 dogs. We are usually accepted and welcomed at KOA campgrounds and felt especially welcome at this one. We came in after hours - available sites were posted and information left out and it was very easy to come in. The next morning everyone was very friendly and nice. The property is lovely too - beautiful stream and lake.

I’m a KOA loyalist. This was our second stay at this location. As before, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The entire staff was top notch and very cordial. Thank you very much.

When we first arrived we realized the plug on our camper was different than the plug in there my husband went to the office to see if they could help and the assistant manager fixed us up!!! Big save!! The bath house was very clean! We enjoyed our stay and will for sure be back!

If your site is by the lake, the rating would be higher. We have a Super C 39 ft rig and stayed in section B. The spaces are super tight and need updates. We had smokers on both sides of us, which made the stay unpleasant. $111 is too much to pay for the site we were on. On the other hand, the staff was great and the view is nice

We enjoyed our stay so much! The staff and Jen did an amazing job of keeping us informed about all the activities. They were all super helpful and friendly and the campground itself was so clean and well maintained. Loved the added coffee and breakfast mobile cafe! Can’t wait til our next visit!

Enjoyed our weekend by the Swannanoa River camping. The campground was full but it didn’t slow the staff down! They were all very friendly and accommodating! We enjoyed painting magnets with our grandsons and the staff girl that helped was great � Loved the fall decorations.

The property is pretty with mountain views and a creek. We rented a lakeside cabin without a bathroom. I would not recommend this as the bathrooms are not as close as I hoped. The bathroom by the office looks 30 years old. The recently renovated bathroom had a broken stall, cobwebs, and dirty filter. The AC unit in cabin was loud and smelled terrible. Wood is $9/bundle.

First and last time staying here. Tent sites are on top of each other, music was loud all hours of the night, our site was nothing but mudd, and the bathrooms were disgusting.

One thing that could improve this KOA would be to ensure the sewage connection ground holes are not situated uphill from the trailer site!

Very nice campground. Some shady and some open camping spots. Nice river runs along the property. Bathrooms and campground very clean!! Staff was always friendly. Great campground to stay for exploring the Ashville area. We camped in a Class B conversion van.

Good trip with family and friends met some new friends . Sites were clean other than grass cuttings and goose droppings but don't know what you would do for that.Staff was friendly and helpful as they always are see you in Oct.

all went smoothly for check in and check out. The staff was friendly and helpful. The cabin was clean and cute. The grounds were well kept.

I would give the score a 4.8, not really a 4. The only complaint I have here is that too many vehicles are allowed at each campsite and it causes many issue with driving through and getting into the actual camping spot. The riverfront spots are very tight and allowing too many vehicles there causes issues. The staff and all the events planned were great! We always enjoy our stay here!

We had a wonderful 2 week stay with you this year. Everyone is very helpful and so pleasant. We will return again, but there are two areas to mention: 1- The large numbers of geese make walking around unenjoyable with the mess they make. 2- We had a tree on our site that we did not realize was putting sap all over the front of our camper and on our car. I have yet to get it all off.

You have a serious & DANGEROUS problem w/site E12. Overgrown trees,half dead tree w/dead limbs that are hanging over our RV with the risk of falling & crashing on our roof. 2 HUGE trees right in front with big roots sticking up & out of ground & making it difficult to park & use that part of our site. We only had half a site. Worse site EVER at a KOA!! We will be looking for NEW campground.

So glad we were finally able to get here. We stayed 3 nights and had an amazing time. The new facilities are great considering the campground was nearly wiped out by the hurricane. Campsite was bang on level with patio furniture, a fire pit and a beautiful river nearby. Christy was SUPER helpful getting a couple logistical plans handled for me. Eric and Andy were also helpful. They had a bunch of fun activities for the kids including a pancake breakfast! We will be coming back very soon.
