RV Reviews

The staff were super pleasant on the phone while confirming our reservation. Check in was easy. However, Site 27 was VERY uneven. Also, driving to this KOA just feels sketch. Couldn’t believe this was an actual KOA. We did not feel safe at this campground due to the appearance of the “long term” campers. People staring and watching us - locked every bin for the first time!

Very tired campground

Beautiful and quiet.

I would have given 5 stars but there are areas of this park that are filthy. Trash, etc outside of trailers. I hope the new owners are changing this.

Nice staff, good service, good location for our visit! Quiet and nice campground.

The sites are very tight to get into and our “premium” site was quite unlevel. Although the campground offered WiFi and cable, neither worked. We were advised they are under new ownership and were negotiating with new companies. However this was not mentioned at all upon checkin. I certainly would not stay here again.

Shower/restrooms are dirty with tons of peeling paint and black crud. Internet never worked. Grounds not well-maintained.

Stayed last year under old management. While it’s improved a bit this campground is in need of much attention and improvement. Hopefully new folks will make it happen. It’s still ok for one night.

This place is a huge disappointment. From the lack of grounds keeping to what can only be described as residents. If only the KOA police would make a surprise visit I’m sure they have issues flying their banner our front. Do yourself a favor and skip this ****hole.

It was really nice!

It was okay

Not bad facility but sites and roads in camp ground need work. We could not level our Motorhome on the site

Rv area tight getting into, overall nice spot would stay again. No Wi-Fi, l don’t know why KOA’s advertise free Wi-Fi, at most of them you can’t even get it to work and your paying for it with there high fee to stay

Very uneven site

Other then the 1 40 traffic noise, we loved staying at our site #40, thank u

When we got to our assigned site there was a pretty big slope down at the end where our tow vehicle was. This made it very hard to detach the travel trailer. We ended up looking in the night registration box for a different site that was available. We found a nice level one and moved there. The rest of our stay was good!

There was no wifi; travel today is based wifi for a number of reasons in this case, business and that is critical so I cannot stay here again. The internet listing needs to indicate that long motorhomes are not likely to fit possibly without damage. This old park is not set up for large coaches or trailers. The hookups are not even close. Lady said there is definitely cable tv but did not work.

Bathrooms were very clean. Manager is very friendly. I would only stay for a quick overnight. It doesn't have a campground feel to me. The sites and trees are in need of maintenance. The fire pits are old truck wheels. Picnic tables are small and need maintenance. There are people living full time here in campers, tents, and cabins. Just not the atmosphere I look for in a campground.

Good area, level sites. Not very good for baths/showers, kind of dirty looking. May not have been but seemed like it. Did not use them.
Jul 17, 2023
Campground is old and tired. Needs updated. Road getting into the camp is very narrow and difficult for larger RVs
Jul 17, 2023
great host, nice small and secluded park. will definitely stay again when traveling in this area of the Smokey Mountains
Jul 14, 2023
new owners and many negleted repairs are needed.

Nice office staff. Utilities except wifi were good.

The young lady at check in was great. The campground parking sites need work, leveling. The grass needs to be mowed! Around the small rental cabins the the grass is almost knee high. There are full time residents living in some of the small rental cabins. I don’t have a problem with full timers in campers but keep the area around the camper clean and less cluttered.

Had issues with the 50 amp power. Voltage was going from 105 to 114 which played havoc with our electronics.
Jul 13, 2023
This was the most expensive KOA I have ever stayed at and I was expecting. It would be very nice. The lady in the office was nice but the campground was a dump. The bathhouse was a bad repair. The campground itself looked very derelict. I would never stay here again, and I feel like I was ripped off. Last night I stayed at a beautiful Campground in North Carolina for far less money & girgeous

Campground has improved substantially under new owner and management
Jul 11, 2023
This park is good for an overnight stay off the interstate. There was some noise from the interstate but overall the KOA was quiet with lots of shade trees. It does need some TLC to make it more appealing for an extended stay.
Jul 11, 2023
To call this a Koa campground would do the name a dishonor. I have been to much better state parks and privately owned campgrounds. The owner should be contacted as to the condition of his property.

The power continually would come on then off, then on then off. Husband went to the office and asked about it and we never had anyone come. Glad we were there only one night.

Needs improvements.

It was okay, we understand that they are currently going through a transition and we wish them well

Glad we only had one night stay. Extremely disappointed for this to be a KOA. The grounds aren’t keep clear of large branches. The water connection was located 50 ft from the electrical connections. Tight spots for larger RV’s. Entrance into the park is way off of the interstate, if another RV was coming out you would have no room to pull over.

Staff was really friendly and nice. Campsites were spacious. Facilities need repair. Long term sites were cluttered and unkept.
Jul 04, 2023
Nice campground. Well cared for although the pool area could use some work
Jul 02, 2023
Not big rig friendly. The trees need to be trimmed up for bigger rvs so you do not scratch the tops and sides. It needs some upkeep. The old cars and machines are an eye sore.
Jul 01, 2023
Not up to what I expect from KOA. Lots are rough, pool is in bad shape, closing staff is unfriendly. Why close the pool at 8pm ? There's nothing else to do there. List could be longer. A dump.

One of the worst KOAs I have ever stayed in. Sites not level, weeds everywhere, too many permanent campers some that have just junk around them. One of the worst was a KOA workers trailer. Broken down van at the pavilion, that had been there for a while by the amount of dirt on it, it also had a flat tire. I would not return to this KOA ever!

Depressing campground. Needs maintenance!
Jun 24, 2023
A cute, convenient campground. We stayed for a quick overnight on our way east. For our larger rig, they need to trim branches. Sites and roads are gravel. We arrived after a storm and had quite a bit of mud to contend with around the site. Our site was not level front to back or side to side so it took quite a bit to get the rig level. Some highway noise from I-40. We would stay again though.

Bathrooms were very clean and the site was well maintained. Close off of I-40

Staff was pleasant and accommodating. Property seemed to be in a state of decline. Lots of traffic noise. Ok for overnight. Not the worst place I’ve stayed but certainly not a destination location.
Jun 20, 2023
Very weak WiFi and cable. Not existing most of the time. Most all KOA’s do escorts. We had no escort Firewood was damp. It’s hard to burn damp wood. Grass needed cut. Not very well maintained.

The Men's restroom was very outdated, one shower inoperable, no hot water, and a code was required to gain entry to the restrooms. There were dirty RV's that had belongings stacked around them indicating that the KOA was their permanent residence. The appearance was not at all appealing. Second time at this location. Nice clean store. Not likely to return to this location.

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!
