Campground Reviews

We stayed a few days for a wedding at The Venue. Easy to reserve, check in, and the cabin was just right for the two of us. We will definitely be back and have more time to explore the campground.

We look forward to your return and are able to spend more time.

Great location and wonderful employees. In particular, Stuart is a huge asset to your KOA. We worked with him for two years now and our club rallies (Palmetto State Airstream Club) at your location have been wonderful. Stuart has been extremely helpful and flexible.

We have been honored that you have chosen use for your rallies, hope you continue choosing us to host your events.

Beautiful area. Campground well maintained . Would have liked some shade in the RV parking area. Young trees are planted, but will be a long time before there is shade. Will definitely return

We came to celebrate a birthday and attend homecoming at GWU as I am a local resident and Alumi. This property is amazing! Tons of things for Kids to do, the trails lead straight to the broad river with beautiful views. We stayed in the Maple Cabin and had the best time! I definitely recommend adding the hot tub to your package as its an additional fee but well worth it! 5 star staff members!!

We appreciate all the kind words, we strive to be the best, look forward to hosting you again.

Halloween weekend lots of activities going on my granddaughter 13th birthday. Had a wonderful time. I do wish the cabins had a screen front door and a full length mirror.

We are glad your granddaughter had a good time, I will pass on the suggestions for the cabin additions.

I have always had a wonderful stay at broad river but this Halloween weekend I did not get the 3 sites I booked. I payed the lock in fee for all 3 sires and they moved the 1 in the middle. We still had a good time and we were allowed by our gracious neighbor to walk thru his site. KOA refunded the lock in fee. They need to put site # on the confirmation, maybe this could have been caught earlier

Its not as family friendly since the Koa took over

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Sorry you do not feel we are as family friendly, we have offered more this year after becoming a KOA then we did in the past. I would like to hear more on the issue, feel free to email me at [email protected]

Place was great. Everyone we met was friendly. The only thing I wish they would have offered was a weekly rate on golf carts. Daily rate only. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting a quiet getaway.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are happy you enjoyed your stay, I will pass on the information on adding weekly prices on the golf carts.

Overall loved the stay, only negative would be the 40 dollars per night for hot tub use. Seems a bit high to me. But I would still stay again and otherwise loved the campground.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay, will pass on the concerns of the hot tub prices.

My husband is handicap in a motorized wheelchair and there were no handicap spots. He had a hard time getting around in the gravel. I enjoyed my stay and the staff were so nice. I would recommend one handicap spot for the camping and one for the cabins for the people who love to camp but have physical challenges. I enjoyed the pool and the cleanliness of the whole place

Awesome campground!!! Can’t wait to come back. Would love to stay longer. Very nice, helpful & accommodating staff! So many different ways to stay. The location is great because you can go anywhere in a short time to get the full experience! �

The stay was wonderful. The gentleman at the front desk, Stuart, was so friendly and helpful. The facilities were very well kept and clean. The bath house was the cleanest one I have ever seen in a campground. The employees here are doing a fantastic job.

The hospitality freely given our entire week is nothing less than text book defined. Each staff worker always addressed me with courtesy and most called me by my name through the entire week of our visit. Impressive! May your service to your campers continue to be that which vividly defines your camp grounds. Can't wait 'til our return visit.

Quiet and relaxing! Love this campground!

Very disappointing stay. I found bugs in the sleeping area that appeared to be bed bugs and called the emergency number several times with no answer. With 6 children, i did not feel comfortable staying, so i packed up at 2am and drove three hours home. An emergency number should be answered when guests need help. I cannot recommend this KOA.

We loved our stay. The grandkids enjoyed the pool, playground and the crafts. The gem mining was the high point of the trip for them. We will definitely be back again.

We had a great relaxing stay that was not too far from our home. Campground facilities were very clean and nice. Grandkids enjoyed pool, but a little cold for my liking (late September tough). Would definitely come again to escape the daily routines.

Without question, Shelby/Broad River KOA is the best campground I’ve had the pleasure to stay in. The staff was absolutely wonderful and the WiFi was like being at home. Clean and tidy. They even arranged for a herd of deer, including the buck, to drop by in the evening to say good night. Just a wonderful stay-thank you!

Upgrades noticed: bed linens, new pillows, bath mats, towels and wash clothes, more coffee in fridge and added bottle waters. It's the little things that add up and make staying there more comfortable and convenient.

This was by far the worse experience we have ever encountered at a Koa or any campground. The staff was rude, not willing to assist, and drugs in the open on a picnic table. The sites were not laid out properly and not a shade in sight. You can't even see the river, only weeds. I will never recommend or visit this site again. I even left early and stayed at better KOA

KOA Shelby Broad River Campground was a wonderful choice for the second stop on the Piedmont NC Airstream Club's 18-day caravan across North Carolina, celebrating our 50th anniversary. Our group enjoyed camping together in a separate area, which made our stay feel especially welcoming. The campground was well maintained, with a nice laundry facility and friendly, attentive staff who were always responsive to our needs. We also had access to a lovely community room with a full kitchen—a great space for gathering during our stay. Kings Mountain National Military Park, Shelby, and the Earl Scruggs Museum were all within a 30-minute drive. A heartfelt thank-you to the KOA Shelby Broad River Campground team for your warm hospitality and for making this stop on our anniversary caravan so special!

Stayed in Cabin 211 and our stay was exceptional. The cabin was clean, well maintained and well stocked. The bed was super comfy. I cannot recommend this KOA enough. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The Halloween decorations throughout the camp were so fun. We would absolutely stay here again without any hesitation.
