Nature and comfort meet here at the highest KOA east of the Mississippi at an altitude of nearly 4,000 feet.

For a real high, stay overnight at the Boone KOA, the highest KOA east of the Mississippi at an altitude of nearly 4,000 feet. Nature and comfort meet here, a spot with long Pull-Thru RV Sites under tall trees, a pool, arcade games and even a farm animal mini zoo, all set atop a scenic mountain just 4 miles from city services. Come experience KOA's peaceful country setting and cool mountain breezes. The average summer temperature is 73 degrees. Hike miles of footpaths on rugged Grandfather Mountain, the highest peak in the Blue Ridge Range. Drive the Blue Ridge Parkway, which winds mere minutes from your campsite. About 9 miles from this KOA is the New River, where you can go tubing or canoeing. The topography and scenery will delight even the most intrepid cyclists: Lance Armstrong trained on the back roads of the Boone area. Pool: Memorial Weekend - Labor Day Weekend. Max pull thru: 60 feet. Your hosts: the Harmon family.

Campground atmosphere and location

Boone KOA opened in 1973. We have a beautiful peaceful campground at almost 4000 ft elevation. Come stay with us and enjoy cool summer breezes (our avg. temp is 73). This makes for great evenings to enjoy your campfire with your family - roast a few hotdogs or marshmallows - make smores - or just enjoy watching the flickering flames of your fire. You might even hear someone strumming a guitar or maybe that will be you. There are some wonderful views for you to enjoy if you are out strolling around the campground. 

There is so much to see and do in the area. You can enjoy a challenging hike or a laid back car ride down by the river (also a great place to ride your bicycle). Check out all our website listings  for tons of ideas on things to do in the Boone area. We would love to visit with you this summer. We appreciate our guests and always enjoy seeing our camping family return...
