We can talk all day about our shaded sites and gorgeous mountain backdrop, but nothing speaks louder than the words of our amazing camping community. We’ve been blown away by the incredible feedback from our guests this summer!
Whether travelers are stopping by for a quick night off I-40 or making us their home base for a cross-country road trip, the reviews are clear:
"We traveled from Yuma Arizona. Up to Wyoming, down to Colorado and all the way across the country to South Carolina. During our trip we stayed at 8 KOA's and 3 private campgrounds. Of our entire trip, Newport/I-40/Smoky Mountains was the absolute best KOA of them all. Clean, very well maintained and the owner was the nicest person we ran into. Highly recommend this KOA!"
