My only recommendations for improvement would be separating toilets and showers. If 4 people were showering, we had to wait a long time to go to the bathroom. Also the pool was very small. Other than those two things, we loved the view, the activities and the tent site were great accommodations

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We provide 3 locations for bathhouses. The 4 individual you visited, 2 at the office and 2 behind the cabins.

We travel in a van and was given tent site three. It could not have been nicer. The restrooms were the top of the line. Staff members #1 Check in the best Thank You for a great visit. Thank you, Thank You. If I'm ever in New Bern again for sure it will be your park.

It’s a great campsite. Unfortunately I had a couple that got into a domestic dispute around 3am Sunday morning while I was trying to sleep (they were 2 sites down from mine). The man finally calmed down about 30 minutes later and they retreated back into their tent. Other then that I enjoyed my visit.

my friend and i were looking so hard for something in NC in December because we were driving thru. Fell on KOA and enjoyed every second of tenting right by the water. we will definitely go back

Our overall stay was superior! Great staff, great fellow campers, beautiful scenery, clean grounds! One shocker was the men’s room near tent sites was not clean during our stay which seemed off due to everything else being spot on!

The best diverse campground my family has stayed at. Ms.Pat is wonderful as well as the staff there. Everyone is friendly, bathrooms are cleaned. We got in at dark and our neighbors offered light for us. It was so much activities for the kids to do.Only problem there was some party poopers beside us went to bed before it was dark and expected us to be quiet before quite time. We had the best time.

Great time! First time tent camping in 30 or so years -- and we will return! Great staff, facilities, and fellow campers willing to share smiles and advice.

It was a fun time, but with our truck it was a lot harder to have space in the tenting area. When we had our truck in we couldn’t have a fire because it would be too close. It was a very nice environment though; however, another parking area would be nice for those who are staying in tents.

Bathrooms and Sites where very clean. Staff was very engaging and friendly

Jun 08, 2018

Campground beautiful but stayed in tent site number 7. The river overflowed during the night and we had to move. All electronics were plugged in. Tent looked like it was in the middle of a pool. Manager said that site floods sometimes. She did move us to a cabin at 1:00 am, but water with electricity at a tent site that is known to flood? Water and electricity do not mix. Secret.

Very friendly staff. The tent campsites were beautiful and very comfortable, gorgeous few of the river.

As always, a great weekend at our home away from home, aka, tent site 1! We only left early because of incoming rain and storms! Can’t wait to go back! My only suggestion would be air conditioning in the bathroom! It was very muggy in there!

May 06, 2018

Everything was great, fishing ponds were good but the big pond needed cleaning, couldn’t fish in that pond without getting caught in the bottom from the algae and moss. We stayed in the tent site, everything was clean and big enough space for your car and a four person tent. Bathrooms were also very clean. The pool just needed a top cleaning and it would’ve been perfect. Thank you KOA.

May 05, 2018

This was our first time at a KOA and we loved it! We will definitely be back, and will also try some other KOA campgrounds in the future. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Thanks so much for a great stay!

10/10 We wish to particularily commend the top notch service we have received from Joania at the from desk. It was very pleasant to deal with her. She was resourceful, profesionnal and definitely demonstrated people skills. Superb campground with all the facilities. The price is right and very well located. Campground site very clean. Restrooms and showers are spotless and with warm water.

Great facilities and helpful staff. Clean showers and restroom. Pier onto the Pamlico offers great spot for bird watching, meditation. I am a tent camper and loved the areas for tent setup.

Very clean and well kept. Would like to have coffee available before 8 am. Campers are early birds!

We enjoyed our stay at the New Bern KOA. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. After our first night's stay, we discovered as we were heading out to see the sights in New Bern that the battery of our car was dead. The staff quickly came to our rescue and within a few minutes we were on our way. If only the staff had some control over the wind and rain, then our stay would have been ideal!
