Campground Reviews

Feb 24, 2026
We had a nice four night stay and the operator was very friendly and courteous. The remodeled restrooms/showers were clean and comfortable. One tip, if we stay here again I’m going to request a campsite on the other side of the park, farther away from the highway so we have less traffic noise.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. Made sure we had everything we needed and let us know we could call them if something came up.

This was one of the best stays we have had at a campground for a while. The main reason was the service and support provided by Katie. From the time of our arrival, she was very accommodating and understanding of our situation (too long to describe the situation that took us to stay at that campground). She was very caring to our needs and would say she went well beyond the line of duty.

Stayed at Newport KOA when my daughter two visit and tour UT Campus. Very nice camp brown. Accommodating bathrooms and the host was a pleasure to talk to would definitely stay there again

Very good space to park and stay at overnight for the price. Only gotchas for me were the location far up the hill and no reflectors or even solar powered ground lights would’ve helped us find our way there at night in the dark. Also, we could not drop off garbage on our way out. The dumpsters were far down a roadway with no room to turn around.

Great KOA Journey! 5 minutes off I-40, 45 minutes to Pigeon Forge/Smokies/Gatlinburg. Nice level sites and well taken care of grounds, Willis the manager and his staff were very friendly. All new laundry and camp office with dog park.

Nice place. Great Kamp Kanine Dogs had fun

Clean and fairly quiet for a convenient stay. Only noise was from the interstate and the trees done a fine job of hushing that. The staff are great and friendly.

Nice site. Great pull thru for my overnight stay.

Facilities were excellent. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Only complaint is the entry from the highway has a large dip at the curb and your hitch will scrape .

Our trip ran into mechanical problems and we were stuck in Charlotte 4 days. Newport was mid point to our next destination. Katy helped make a late reservation and got us all set up. We had coffee with her the next morning. They really helped get our vacation back on track. We made the best of a bad situation and the Newport staff were a game changer. Thank you.

Friendly staff. Awful campground and location. Doesn't remotely live up to the website description. Go somewhere else.
Oct 27, 2025
perfect location for us to visit gt smoky mountains np. away from the busy areas. close to Bush Bean museum! and Kelley's Quilt Shop. Hosts were the best. Katie and Willis. spelling could be wrong! Park is in very good repair. we were in a 28' class C, towing a small car/tow dolly. site was level, our rig doesn't have levelers, so that was great.

Cleanest KOA bathrooms I’ve been to!! Roomy and super clean showers. Great dog park too - lots of grass.
Oct 25, 2025
Friendly and helpful staff. Lots of shade. Nice to have sun on the ends of the rv instead of broadside. Good water pressure. Some sites are not very level. Difficult connection for sewer hose.
Oct 24, 2025
I called to ensure that there was a site available to fit my coach, 40 foot and 20 foot trailer. Was told there were 70 foot sites available. While not incorrect, getting into and out of the site was extremely difficult. Narrow roads and trees with low hanging branches. Additionally one person was parked very close or into the road. Site was also very unlevel. Won’t be back to this location.

We stopped just for an overnight. Appreciated the pull through site.. It was obvious that the office in restrooms and shower room at the office. We’re all nearly remodeled and secure with key codes that only gas could use. They do have Wi-Fi though I would not want to rely on it. It was weak, but that is a struggle everyone has. Overall I give this high marks as campgrounds go.

Very professional Fast service in check in

Very helpful staff. Easy in and out, but tight. Good water pressure and easy hook-up. Would stay here again.

Can not receive any air tv channels. Not even FM radio. How about installing cable?

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We're sorry that you were not able to get any channels over the air. We do offer WiFi to our guests at no charge in place of cable.

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!
