It was by far the noisiest camp ground we have ever stayed in . The highway was very close to camp site and 18 wheelers we're going all day and night. Office staff was very nice during check in .

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us. We are pleased that you had a positive experience with our staff. We work very hard to ensure that our campers have a good time camping. Many KOA campgrounds are close to a freeway for easy on and off. Unfortunately, there is a certain amount of noise that comes with that convenience. Please join us again when you are in the area.

Very nice campground. Very nice staff. We stayed in the area near the woods in the back which we liked very much as it was very private and quiet. However, the owners are going to change that area ..new design, etc. so no longer will have that area as private as it is now. Campground is in a great location to see the Biltmore and explore the surrounding area.

Thank you for staying with us. We are always pleased to hear that our guests have had a great camping experience. We work hard to keep the sites as private as possible. Please join us again.

Sites ok but not great and traffic noise was horrible. Feel it was over priced for what we got.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us. We work very hard to ensure a great camping experience for our guests. Most KOA campgrounds are close to highways for easy on and off access. Unfortunately, this does create some traffic noise which we cannot do anything about. We provide ear plugs for your convenience. We hope that you will consider staying with us the next time you are traveling through the are.

Great staff.Prompt to respond to any issue. We had a swarm of yellow jackets near our outside fire ring . When notified, the staff came in 30 minutes or less and sprayed. Returned the next day for a follow treatment. Camping spots were relatively easy to get in and out with a big rig. Downside was road noise from I-40 which had truck traffic all day and night. Staff provided earplugs to help.

Thank you for staying with us. We work very hard to ensure that your camping experience is great. We know that that for some the freeway noise is difficult; however, like many KOA campgrounds, it provides easy on and off access. Please join us again if you are in the area.

Friendly staff, clean sites and clean restrooms. Only problem we had was that there was no wifi in the back campground. Not a deal breaker, just a nice to have.

Good location to surrounding areas we like: Asheville, Maggie Valley, Hot Springs, Black Mountain. Easy access from Interstate 40. Clean and nice.

Positives: Just off I-40 with easy access. 10-15 min drive to get to Asheville so a good choice to use as a base of operations to explore the area. The country store has a limited selection but the adjoining bathroom/bathhouse is very clean. Neg: We were in site F10 and found the road noise from I-40 to be bothersome. Even inside our tow-behind camper the road noise was very loud.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us. We appreciate your comments. We work very hard to help our guest have a great camping experience. The easy access from I-40 is a positive, but it also does allow for some highway noise. Unfortunately, we can't do anything about the noise. Please stay with us if you are in the area again.

After we checked in and paid for a week I was informed the WiFi was down in our part of the park and they were waiting for a part! The site we had did not have cable, my experience has been if some have it they all have it! I was told I could come to rec room a mile down a large hill! Beware the paper mill, smell is bad and they work all night.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank your staying with us. In the future, we encourage you to speak with staff if your site does not meet your expectations. Most often, for a small additional cost, we can find a site that is more to your liking. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about the smell from the paper mill if the wind is blowing from the west.

Parking a vehicle was a real challenge. The sites were small, no space for the car I was towing. The Gestapo Security Guard came and knocked on our RV door telling us to remove off the grass. The second evening, he knocked on our door again demanding we remove a vehicle. Only one vehicle per site. Our daughter was visiting us from another camp site from the far end of the campground.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Friendly professional staff and access to local tourist sites. A little difficult moving in and out of sites as towing vehicles partially block road. Difficult to access upper dump station for 31 ft 5th wheel. All in all will visit again and recommend.

Very nice place to stay. If I had a complaint it would be that the camp sites be deeper for parking and the dump station is facing the wrong way. Still had a great experience and would recommend this KOA

Great time for a camping trip, trees were changing and mountains were beautiful. Asheville West KOA is a great place to stay, clean sites and facilities, very nice and helpful staff. Really enjoyed our stay and looking forward to returning soon. Campers be prepared to hear noise from the highway traffic, recommend ear plugs for a sound nights sleep.

What a wonderful place to stay for a week. The dogs love the new dog park. It is large enough for our lab to run and play ball and have a great time. She would get excited every day to go over and play. The trails through the woods were a favorite for all of us. They are well kept up and easy to follow. The staff and owners are all very friendly and helpful. Keep up the good work.

Great people. Sandy and Heather helped us get some UPS packages shipped after UPS failed to pick-up at the Asheville KOA. They even held them in the locked office overnight because they were so large. Dump station allowed rigs to enter from either direction which is usually a problem for us as all our hook-ups are on the passenger side of our horse trailer.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us. We are pleased that we were able to help you with your package needs. We work very hard to be sure that our guests have all their needs met. Your comments are always helpful. Please consider staying with us the next time you are in the area.

Campground staff was friendly and helpful and the bathrooms are some of the cleanest camp bathrooms I have ever seen. We had no problems during our stay. The only thing we didn't like was the amount of road noise from I-40. It may not be a problem if you have a camper/RV, but we were in a tent, so nothing to keep the noise out. Ear plugs did help somewhat on the second night.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us. We work very hard to help our guest have a great camping experience. Many KOA campgrounds are near highways for easy on and off access. Unfortunately, that does create some highway noise that we cannot control. We hope that you will consider staying with us again when you are in the area.

Convenient location to visiting Asheville & Biltmore Estate. Really nice shower & laundry facilities. Very nice staff. A lot of work is obviously in progress. We had issues with power flicking off, when it rained campsite was very muddy (we were on a steep hill), no WiFi. Back in spaces were really tight. I-40 noise was loud & papermill smell was strong - glad we knew about this in advance.

Nice area, clean ...... there is a need to cut the low hanging limbs and the brush near the roads in the upper areas.

The noise from I 40 was all night long! Perhaps it was because of our site but it was awful. The people in the office were great, pleasant and helpful.

Was beautiful and the staff was very nice. The only downfall was the shared fire pit for the cabins. Would've been nice to be able to use them one night but they were overrun by kids each night. No problem but maybe individual campfires?

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us. We are pleased that the work we do helps our guests have a positive camping experience. We know that on a busy weekend, a shared fire ring has its challenges, so we are looking at ways to provide private campfire rings and still follow fire codes. We hope you will stay with us when you are in the area again.

Only stayed fro two days but was very pleased with the space and location. Only small drawback is the highway noise but was not so bad as to upset sleeping after a full day.

Thank you for staying with us. We work very hard to help our guests have a great camping experience. While a location near a highway makes on and off access easy, it does create some noise. Please stay with us the next time you are in the area.

nice owners and staff. convenient to local attractions. city of asheville...just another city, won't go back
Oct 26, 2017
It was very nice and the bathrooms and shower were immaculate. The only problem that kept it from being a "5 star" rating was that we could not hook up to the water in our camper because of the weather. The camp sites should have a concrete base so that the trailers and pick-up campers will be on level ground.

Friendly staff, very clean facilities and property, nice wooded site, best coffee ever in the camp store.
Oct 25, 2017
Very friendly reception. Site backed to woods and was fine. Bathrooms clean. Noise from I-40 was bearable, especially since windows closed in chilly weather.
Oct 25, 2017
Great fun, nice people and great facilities! Will recommend to all I know! Thanks for the great stay!

Claim level lots but, not quite the case. Hope they get the new picnic tables in soon

The campground is well kept. Camp K-9 was great. It's the biggest so far out of all the KOA's. The staff is great.

Camp sites were to close together. The picture that was shown on your website showed a paved pad, all the pads in this campground were gravel and dirt.
