Nice location but campground is in need of some TLC. Very nice staff though.

Stacy was super nice, very helpful! When I stay at a KOA it think super clean and well kept up, not so here, in my opinion.

Very accommodating. Our attention was a bit small and they quickly moved us to a bigger one. Thank you!

It was very run down and lots of mud. In their defense, they said they just took over. Hopefully, it will improve.If you just need a place overnight, it will do.

Water connection was barely 6 inches off the ground couldn’t use regulator. The site they picked for us barely fit a motorhome with a tow vehicle. Camp appears to be not well-maintained. Needed propane and they were out of it.

We were only there overnight. This KOA is in need of upgrades. The access road was barely adequate for our 31ft motor home. Narrow road was crumbling at crucial areas for maneuvering. The pull thru site was barely adequate. What good is free WiFi if it only connects without internet?! The staff however was ready & waiting for us & pleasant. We appreciate the trash pick-up. The TV reception good

A good spot for an overnight stay but can’t recommend for more than that. Property needs a lot of attention.

Cigarette butts everywhere. Unacceptable showers in bath house. Not clean. People cleaning restrooms standing right outside of it smoking. Noisy due to proximity of major highway. Water in shower took 10 minutes almost to beat up. Sewer caps were missing in more than 1 site. A positive-workers were nice and accommodating.

Nothing special! It was just ok! Not with the $$

Bath house was was dirty. Very dirty. Showers full of hair. Not painted. Our site had lots of cigarette butts. We were placed right in front of the dumpsters. These should be tucked away. Did not realize how close to such a busy Hiway. Noise level is very high.

Seems like mostly trailers where people live there. Internet was horrible in the evening, cable did not come in good. Sites are very uneven and pretty small. Trash left on site and they didn’t pick up garbage if it was out by 11. They said new owners and they were working to fix it up but we didn’t see anyone driving around . Staff was very nice.

Not bad place to stay and recharge stuff.

Recently under new ownership and making changes. Stacy and David (the new on-site managers) were great hosts, super friendly and helped us with what ever we needed. Park is not perfect, but sites are nice and shaded and it's quiet. Lots to do there and in the area. New owners plan on fixing it up, we look forward to coming back and seeing what they have done.

The lady in the office was super friendly and really nice. The campground was kept very clean and organized. Peaceful and relaxing

We ran into several issues at this campground and had to move several times. However the staff was wonderful and did their best to make everything right. The campground had just changed owners so things were in transition.

Substandard for a KOA

Dirty bathrooms Outdated. Unkept grounds. Mostly permanent residents. Junky

very accommodating - and the wifi worked much better!
Apr 15, 2023
People were very nice. Site could be more level. Someone had driven over the dump and broke tge cap. Great location fir traveling through.
Apr 15, 2023
just passing thru, but had a good night.
Apr 13, 2023
Staff was wonderful and very knowledgeable. The pull through sites needs work. We had to back out of the pull through site because we would have drugged the bike rack coming down out of the site.

We love KOAs but this location needs to have its franchise revoked. The was dog ( we hope it was dog) poop all over the place. Our site had 4 piles of it that we stepped in and needed to clean up. Most of the people there were permanent residents with junk everywhere. Lots of kids just wondering around asking if they could hang out with us and no parents to be see. site was to short and uneven.

Great
Apr 10, 2023
Very quiet and relaxing which is the way I prefer my camping vacations. Definitely recommend koa Newport to anybody and everyone. Will be back quite a few times this year and years to come.
Apr 10, 2023
Not much there..
Apr 08, 2023
Wifi does not work well. Not much of a play area for kids. Need better picnic tables at all sites. Propane was out so if you needed it, you couldn't get a refill.

We were late due to traffic and they waited for us. Very nice office staff.

Are you kidding!!! What happen to the trust you use to have staying in a koa, feeling comfortable it was going to be good!! I think more people lived there than travelers! Junk under all the campers! The one next to us had his windows whited out with paint!! The spot was sooooo uneven we has to go in backwards and angle the trailer to get it somewhat level to sleep! We should have left,

Trash laying about, low voltage
Mar 26, 2023
The site was ok; bathroom counter and floors were dirty. The showers did not have hot water and not draining. There was a lot of items sitting around in the community areas. A lot of long term residents. Ok for a quick stop but not longer…
Mar 25, 2023
Should be cleaner. Sites are not level. Pads and roads are gravel.
Mar 24, 2023
very nice hosts but facility needs updating
Mar 20, 2023
Great over night stay. My only reason not rating a 5 was the cable channels. Lots of them did not work. No worries I would stay here again.
Mar 17, 2023
Lots of full timers living there. Sites not level. Bath house disgusting. Didn’t engage with the staff. Probably the worst KOA I’ve ever stayed at.

The campground had a lot of long-term campers with lots of stuff/junk and LP tanks piled up around the sites. Camp sites are not even close to being level. The office is a daycare… I will only use the campground for a overnight stay to get off the interstate if absolutely necessary.

We stayed here several times traveling from Pa to Fl to visit family.Were staying 2 nights. Pulling in we noticed a drastic difference. Two dumpsters were overflowing and bags piled around. They were out of propane. Lady next door told us electric was being cut off the next day for nonpayment. It was turned off the next morning. We moved to another campground.! Refunded one night.!

Staff was very friendly and very accommodating. The office seems a bit chaotic at times, being run as a day care, but my overall experience was pleasant. Lots of people living in the campground but thankfully I was away from the “busy” sites!
Feb 13, 2023
The first site assigned was on aslope, so asked to be moved to a more level site for our motorhome. The internet was very spotty and not usable. It was nice that they picked up the trash. So good for an overnight stay if you are not to fussy.
Feb 13, 2023
Sorry to be negative, but this campground does not live up to the KOA name. We pulled in as an overnight guest but decided to keep driving after pulling into our site. The campground appears to be primarily full time tenants and was not well kept. It is the middle of winter so I didn't have high expectations. We were uncomfortable spending the night so boondocked farther down the road.

It was just a quick nights stop for us,but all was good

Only stayed one night, but it was a nice clean place to stay

No hot water for the bath house. Yes I know it was cold 37 degrees but there was no hot water in the bath house. Management said that it was because they had a tankless hot water heater the water had to be run for a while to get hot water. We let the water run for over five minutes and it did not get hot.

I suggest ignoring the terrible reviews. We found this campground to be clean and friendly. Decent-sized gravel sites are not perfectly level, but you're in the mountains. We did not need blocks under tires to be comfortable. When outdoors, it's true you can hear highway traffic... but the bonus is the location with easy access off and onto I-40. Enjoyed seeing the cows on neighboring property and had a morning visit from one!

Great place to stay just off 40. Beautiful backcountry views of the smoky mountains and very close to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Nikky and Stephanie in the office are wonderful! Many upgrades in the works that will make this place even more amazing. Not a bad choice when planning your trip to Tennessee!
