RV Reviews

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.

just passing thru, but had a good night.

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

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.

Not much there..

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…

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!

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.

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.

Wish my site was more level. The staff was AMAZINGLY helpful. I will stay here again for sure.

I heard there is new management and I wish them well. There were garbage bags all over the sites and in front of the cabins. When we tried to pull into our site there were 4 small grocery bags filled with garbage. I had to get out and move them to enter our site. We were told garbage is picked up by 11am. It did not look like garbage was picked up in awhile as several areas had multiple bags.

The location is perfect for us. Campground is expertly managed. Staff is extremely helpful. Wouldn't stay anywhere else when I'm in that area.

Site was covered in leaves. So many leaves camper slide on the leaves. Neighbor loaded me a blower to move some of the leaves to make it safer to have a fire. Clearly no site clean-up/prep. So many season, resident campers, don’t think they budget site clean up.

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!
