This was just a quick stop for us, going from South Carolina back to Ohio, but it was the perfect spot. Easy to find, easy to get in, easy to pull through and leave in the morning. Thank you!

Too short. You would have gotten a 5 but your pool was empty.

These are the worst level sites I have encountered camping.

Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your stay with us. Had we known that you were having leveling issues we would have been more than happy to relocate you to a different site.

The manager, Willis was very kind and helpful with late check in. The cabin was clean and cool. I loved still being able to hear the rain while sleeping inside. The bathrooms were the nicest campground bathrooms I’ve ever seen. Very clean, updated and plenty of space. Only 2 showers as the second bath house was closed but we never had a wait during our stay as most campers had RVs.

Thank you for your feedback. Willis sure does put his heart in soul into making our campground one of the best. We hope to see you again soon.

Excellent campground. I was most impressed by the bathouse. The place was safe and clean and just what I needed. Well priced, too.

He was so great in helping us get a spot. We needed a long spot for camper and jeep and he had a perfect spot when we arrived. Bathrooms were clean and modern. Great place!

I ended up not staying the night. Yet the staff was very friendly and accommodating the campground is beautiful and facilities were very clean. The only reason I did not stay was my tent got soaked from the day before from a heavy down fall and I was not feeling well so decided to press on and get to my final destination. Heading back home I will be returning here and look forward to staying.

We had to make a last minute reservation for Newport due to weather changing our plans. Willis the camp ground manager is awesome!!!!! Told him RV size and type and when we would get there after hours. He met us when we pulled up at the office and took us to our campsite! The campground is very nice and the bath house was clean, sanitary and well laid out! Totally enjoyed our stay!

Too many tree branches to low on the State rd. Pool not open: Grass growing in the bottom The Websit said only one site was available and about 50% empty. GM was excellent, very helpful. From what we have seen from KOA. This one is not up to their standard.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We’re sorry your stay didn’t meet expectations. The trees are not on our property and outside our control. Our website lists one transient site type, and the pool has been permanently closed and is awaiting removal.

MY STAY WAS VERY UNEVENTFUL WHICH IS GOOD. THE CHECK-IN WAS GOOD AND THE HOST WAS VERY NICE. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THE POOL WAS EMPTY AS WE HAD DRIVEN A LONG WAY ON A HOT DAY AND EXPECTED A COOL SWIM TO END OUR DAY. WE SHOULD GET MONEY BACK FOR THAT. ON THE PLUS SIDE, THE REMODELED BATHROOMS WERE SUPER.

We’re sorry your stay didn’t meet expectations. Our pool has been permanently closed, and we note this on our website. We understand the heat makes a pool desirable, but this is outside our control. We appreciate your feedback.

It was raining when we got there and raining when we left. It is a nice campsite but needs a little work. The pool was empty but they had new bathrooms attached to the front check-in, needed a code to get in. Shame we had so much rain but it cleaned the RV. Host was good about waiting for us to arrive before 6, we did with 10 mins to spare. Traffic and construction to get there was a nightmare.
Aug 11, 2025
Bathrooms were brand new & locked with a secure code which made showering at night feel safer. The cabin was cozy and perfect size for the 3 of us. The pool was closed for remodeling but looked like it will be great when it opens! The only downside was our AC unit continuously turned off & the cabin got warm quickly. Other than that, we had a great stay and would return in the future.

Very nice place, we were there for 1 night. The gentleman who guided us in was awesome, kind and helpful. We had an easy in and out fhu pull-thru. The dog park needs mowing/care and while the bathhouse is beautiful and clean it needs to be more user friendly with a wider shower curtain, towels hooks at the shower, lights above the sink and place to put soap, etc. in the shower.

Great place just of the interstate….friendly and helpful staff

Host was very helpful.

The workers were great and it was a relief to finally have a campground with shade trees after being on the road for two weeks camping in the direct sunlight. My daughter went to the office to mail some postcards and they gave her a free drink when she stopped by and again later when she went to check our laundry.
Aug 04, 2025
Friendly helpful staff allowed me to move my site where there was more shade. I stayed a month and one time the water went out. I also was disappointed that the pool was not open and the pond that was advertised was dried up. Thank you.
Aug 01, 2025
Sites are not level. Pool closed. Laundry closed. Stor closes early and not stocked. This is a camp you do not want to stop at. We had a 3 day stay left next day. Did not get a refund. Told the manager we were leaving o well Said do you want to move to an other site. I said no we are leaving.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Sorry you didn't enjoy your stay with us. Yes our pool is closed we have a banner on our website. Our staff did offer to take you around to find a site that better suited you. Our laundry is not closed you need the code from your map to get in and our campstore is stocked with all essentials.

Older well kept campground. Some sites not quite level but easy enough to take care of when setting up. Staff very delightful and helpful! Kept riding around checking in people, offered advice for things to do in the area. Quiet, as Willis said "No drama!" Would definitely stay here again if in the area!
Jul 31, 2025
Bathrooms were excellent, water spigot worked well, campground was clean and easy to navigate when we arrived at 12am. Campsite was clean and easy to use. Staff was super helpful and friendly, made checking in and out fast and easy.

The staff was super friendly. I would recommend this campground for a rig that is under 30 feet long. It was not easy to navigate in our 41’ rig.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Glad our staff was friendly and we appreciate your feedback. We have done everything in our power to make navigating the park as easy as possible for big rigs. We have even widened the entry bridge to make our property more accessible. Sorry you felt it was not adequate.

The staff is very friendly and strived to ensure we were comfortable and taken care of.

This KOA has many homesteaders and dogs roaming unleashed and unattended. I had to navigate dog poop from a large dog to hook up utilities. Not one pile, but multiple. My site was too steep for my leveling system to handle. Located beside I-40, it’s not accessible from the highway which may account for its need to take in homesteaders.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your stay with us. Our guest experience is very important to us. We will certainly look into the pet waste issues. We regularly inspect for these issues. We are located approximately 3 miles off the highway for easy access. We hope you give us a second chance

Tent camping was great, staff was great and park was clean and very well maintained. Will stay there again and again!
Jul 15, 2025
Staff helpful. Clean refurbished restroom. Nicely maintained common areas. New washers and dryers. Pool out of commission. Good for quiet peaceful stays but not a destination campground especially for kids.

Rachel was the absolute best!!! She made our stay wonderful! She was always super helpful!! Thank you!!
Jul 13, 2025
We only stayed a night when driving through. Everyone was so nice and helpful with our questions. The camp was very nice.
Jul 09, 2025
First and foremost, EVERYONE of the staff members were amazing. The reason for the low rating is that it was over 90 degrees every day and their pool was not open.

We are sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your stay with us. We no longer advertise a swimming pool on our website. This is due to the fact that it is currently not operational.

Although the gal in the office was absolutely wonderful, I think the others who worked there and I think the old man was the owner was WAY too picky on what we did. We were also SOOOO disappointed that the pool was not opened. They should have stated that on the website. Good thing our grandchildren couldn't make it. They would have been very upset. We would have cancelled if we had known.

Everything was wonderful with the exception of the pool not being open and the “catch and release pond” not really a pond at all. Both are still up on the website so we felt that was a little misleading.

We are sorry that you didn't enjoy your stay with us. We no longer advertise a pool on our website as it is not operational at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience.

We had a very nice welcoming when we arrived after hours. He showed us directly to our campsite and told exactly where everything was located. He also told us how to fix an issue with our camper. He went above and beyond to make our one night stay an enjoyment. The campsites were beautiful. Thank you.

We're thrilled you enjoyed your stay. Your kind words mean a lot to our team. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another great visit!

Our stay was overnight as a stop-off. Staff (Rachel) was very nice. Sites ate gravel with grass and a little close to each other but not a show stopper. A lot of the sites have slope to them - again not a show stopper but frustrating when emptying tanks. The pool is a conundrum - it was empty and a sign read "Closed for the season, see you next year". It was June!

The staff was awesome! The only issue I had was the website had a pool and a pond listed and neither one was operational! Which was a not a big issue for me but worth mentioning because we stayed on the lake most of the time I didn't really care . Bath and laundry room were very nice and new .

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.
