Asheville East KOA Holiday Reviews

One of the best KOA stays we've had. The rebuild after the hurricane is impressive, full resort-level property, not just a patch job. Great location too, close to Black Mountain for shopping and food, Asheville nearby, and an easy trip to Mount Mitchell. Our site backed up to the river, which made the stay. Great view, hammock out, dinner by the water most nights. Pool was a hit with our kids, playground is new, bathhouses were always clean, and wifi actually worked well for a campground. Staff was constantly out helping campers and keeping things running smoothly. Would put this near the top of any KOA in the country. We'll be back.

We just wrapped up a stay at the KOA east of Asheville and it's one of the best campground experiences we've had. The rebuild after the hurricane is impressive. What they've brought back is a full resort-level property, not just a basic patch job. The pool was a highlight for our kids, the playground is new and well thought out, and the bathhouses were clean every time we used them. Wifi was solid the whole stay, which isn't something I usually say about campground internet. Our site happened to back up to the river, and it made the stay. We had a great view of the water, set up a hammock, and ate dinner by the river most nights. If you can get a site backing up to the river, do it. Nearby Activities: Black Mountain is a short drive and has good shopping and restaurants if you want a break from the campsite. Asheville is close as well, with even more food and shopping. We also drove out to Mount Mitchell, the highest point east of the Mississippi, for an easy day trip from the campground. What stood out most was the staff. They were constantly working, helping campers check in, and keeping the property running smoothly. Whatever they're doing to build that team, it's working. We'd put this near the top of any KOA in the country and will be back.
