Sites are gravel but level. Staff is outstanding. The only bad thing about this campground is the road in/out. Road is very narrow and has a big bump at the entrance/exit.

Nice campground. Very close to the highway which makes it convenient for access. The site we had was not very level. Must use leveling Jacks to overcome.

Great place for overnight stay in East Tennessee. Clean facilities, quiet campground, and courteous staff. New fiber optics and looks like a pool is being installed. Nice “KOA Journey”.

Guaranteed late arrival, paperwork was waiting and complete, sites are unlevel gravel with loud highway noise—but can’t beat distance to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, site light didn’t work and was difficult to find site number on power box in the dark!

We loved this small quiet campground. The kids had fun at the park and we found a little creek the kids got to explore. The staff was so kind went above and beyond to help us!

Beautiful campsite and we visited at a great time of year - springtime. This camp is well maintained and the people operating it are very friendly/hospitable.

Everything was nice and we liked the remodel of the bath houses except the showers need non slip mats. The door on our cabin 78 was hard to open other than that we will be back

Very nice RV park. Very friendly & helpful staff. Nice, quiet pull thru RV site. Wifi worked great. Really nice & private showers. Nice dog park if not for the previous heavy rains. No pool, no food close by & no frills. Easy I40 access.

Great campground, easy access from main roads, nice grassy lots with level gravel parking. Manager was so friendly and helpful, and the campground was neat. One of the best places we've stayed at.

We have been to this Campground oner the past 6 years. This year the camp made many wonderful changes to improve it in every way. We found its super easy to get in and out with the new bridge , the staff were great macking us welcome back again. We love the back end where overnight campers stay; got to meet a few fellow veterans. Only God knows when we can make it back again, hope he does.

Great place! Very clean and Willis was very accommodating. The only issue I have is the location of the two dumpsters. They were in a remote spot not convenient when departing. Suggest putting one near the entrance or collect trash from each site.

Just an overnight stay. Site was a good right at the end. Super easy to get in. Almost drove right through it as it was hard to tell exactly where it started and ended. Bathroom were clean and nice, water was good. Didn't really have time to look around at the campground. However the sewer smell was so bad in the morning I had to plug my nose as we walked to the bathroom.

Loved our experience staying long term at the KOA in Newport Tennessee. The manager Willis was awesome. He was watchful and helpfull. If there was a problem he was on top of it and solved them.

We had to find a place to park our RV since I40 had a major delay due to a landslide and flooding. Right before Ashville. It was 8pm and tired, we were running behind due too traffic in Knoxville. We call the Newport KOA because the KOA app had a note to call if passed closing. Mr William, the host answer and was able to get us a site. To top it off, the next day we had a dead battery. Even though it was Monday his day off he came over to jump start the truck. VERY NICE AND GREAT SERVICE 👍. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

It was an amazing campground to stay in the Smokies! The staff went above and beyond for us and we really appreciated it. Would recommend staying here you won't regret your stay. Felt like staying with a good family member!
