Campground Reviews

We loved our lakeside site and stayed nine days! That is the longest we have ever stayed at a campground and we have been doing this for almost ten years! We also love the Hiawassee/Blairsville area and will definitely be coming back!

You have a whole entire campaign that’s not filled out when you put some right next to the camper that has barking dogs. He put people in his spots you should be asking if they want to be next to somebody or not when you have pretty much a vacant campground and thanks to those noisy dogs. I didn’t have a peaceful sleep. Also, you don’t allow the use of the water areas except when in office.

Campsites were a little close together for our taste.

Bathrooms by the office were nice. The other ones had the same dirt on the floors for at least a week. The person who’s job it is to clean them ever seen dirt behind the doors also.

We had a great time but we felt like our kids were followed around and picked on by one of the campground employees. He seemed to just follow them and look for them to do something wrong, he had very little patience for children.

campground was very 'different' from other KOAs, i.e., it is in a neighborhood, has MANY permanent/long term residents. We paid for a 'patio KOA' spot which was nice but VERY close to our neighbors. The sewer hookup was directly beside their patio area and we had to 'dump' our tank as they were preparing/eating their morning meal.

I was scheduled to stay with them 5 nights. My wife had a bicycle accident the morning we were scheduled to depart requiring hospitalization and surgery. This location was very concerned about our health and did everything we asked and more. Because I had an RV and a vehicle that needed to be driven with only one driver able to drive, they allowed me to take a couple days. This is the best KOA

Super clean location the campsites are very well-maintained. The pond is nice and the paddle boats are fun. People are super friendly and the views of the Smoky Mountains are amazing. Also best bathrooms I have ever seen!

Gorgeous campground. Cute and clean cabins. Disappointed that the game room closes at 5p and pool closes at 7p. The staff weren’t very friendly

We were very pleased with everything from the staff, to the cleanliness of the bath house, to the over all atmosphere of everything. We had people who had never camped with us, and they were very pleased with their 1st experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cabin we stayed in was perfect and the campground was beautiful. The only thing I’d do differently is to give more details on what’s available in the kitchen- no baking pans, casserole dishes, or oven mitts rendered the oven essentially useless without purchasing those items. Otherwise, the cabin was even better than expected. We’ll be back!

We love Hiawassee KOA, it's one of our favorites, great staff, clean dog yard, good sites with plenty of room between campers, many hiking trails and good restaurants.

Was a great few days. Everybody at the park was very nice and helpful. Will definitely be back.

It was a great stay. I wish that someone would answer the phone in the office when you call and I wish the activities director was a little more organized.

Me and my family LOVE the Hiawassee KOA. We look forward to any time that we can spend together here. Everyone is so kind and helpful. Everything is clean and organized. And the grounds are amazing; they are beautiful and relaxing. We look forward to our next trip and making more lasting memories.

Thank you to Steve, Beth and Terry for making our group stay a success! Cabins were very clean and the campground was beautiful. All the staff was friendly and helpful.

Cabins were absolutely immaculate and very nice. Hot water for showers. Campground itself is clean and well maintained. Beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. The only thing we didn’t love was the pool closing at 7pm. We are used to enjoying the KOA pools well into the evening after a long day of exploring! Everything else was perfect and they accommodated our party of 32 people seamlessl

We went with our two sons (3 and 6), and everyone had a wonderful time. The boys enjoyed the pool, the jumping pillow and the playground and arcade, and we ended the day with a nice campfire, then bunk beds. Everything was incredibly well-cared for - from the grounds to the cabin - and the staff were so kind and helpful. A beautiful and relaxing stay to enjoy nature and family. We will go again.

Great place for a family or to just slow down and enjoy the outdoors.

We stay at the Hiawassee KOA 1-2 times per year. Office staff is courteous and helpful. However, the Hiawassee KOA is a former campground and the KOA company made few, if any, improvements when they acquired it. The KOA company needs to invest significant money into this KOA; pave roads and sites, level sites, trim trees, and have GA DNR relocate problem bears, which are a threat to campers.

Cabin was great. Very clean. The little plastic rail on fridge door was broken so we couldn't put anything in it because there was nothing to hold food. I told office when we first got there so they didn't think we broke it. I would suggest maybe table with chairs instead of bar stools. I'm short & couldn't get on the stool for fear of falling so I ate standing up.

A beautiful place to beat the heat of a Florida summer or enjoy the fall leaves!

Great for kids and pets! Cleanest bathrooms and showers ever! Bad luck had us rained out most of the weekend but the clubhouse is a great spot to hang with a pool table, air hockey and plenty of games and books. Very friendly staff willing to go the extra mile to make your stay comfortable and stress free.

My wife and I booked this campground, with the intention of doing activities nearby. The activities turned out to be 35 minutes or longer away each day. We visited Helen twice during our stay, which requires driving each way on a windy mountain highway, which can take between 40 to 50 minutes to navigate from the campground. Be prepared for the hairpin turns, as well as the other turns that are about 90 degrees. This KOA is also not the usual KOA my wife and I are accustomed to, such as Twin Mountain in NH. We didn't realize about half the RV and cabin sites were long term rentals, aka seasonal individuals. Our site was nestled between all of those, though few people were here this week near us. It was also odd to have the KOA store closed on Sunday and Wednesday during our stay. The nearest grocery store is about 15-20 minutes away. The cabins are nice inside, and provide the necessary amenities, to reduce eating out at restaurants. We encountered some deer everyday we were here. I've attached photos below to show how close they will come.
