Boone KOA

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Graded out of the hills above town, Boone KOA sits about five minutes from downtown Boone, making it a functional base for day trips rather than a remote backcountry experience. The campground runs from May through October and accommodates both tent campers and RVs up to 60 feet, with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer. Sites are level and well-drained, though multiple reviewers note the RV sites run narrow, a consequence of grading terraces into a mountain hillside, which leaves limited space outside the rig once slides are extended and steps are down.

Cleanliness comes up consistently across reviews. Bathrooms and showers are maintained well, and the common areas stay tidy throughout the season. The campground was full during several reviewed stays, yet noise stayed manageable at night, with quiet hours respected by other campers. Tent sites are spaced more generously than the RV pads, with room for multiple tents and gear. One caveat for tent campers: sites sit roadside, so you'll hear RVs pulling in and out during active hours.

"The campground was clean and had nice amenities," notes Dryw B., summing up what most reviewers land on. Beyond the campground itself, the location gives quick access to the Blue Ridge Parkway, downtown Boone restaurants and breweries, Tweetsie Railroad, and nearby mountain biking trails. Campers planning to range further into the High Country can browse campgrounds around Boone for additional staging options, or look at nearby properties like Boone Brookshire Basecamp and Blue Bear Mountain Camp. Reservations are available and worth booking ahead in summer.

A Perfect Stay at Boone KOA – Clean, Quiet, and Family-Friendly!

We recently stayed at the Boone KOA and couldn’t be happier with our experience! The facilities were incredibly clean—bathrooms, showers, and common areas were spotless and well-maintained throughout our stay, which made camping that much more comfortable.

What really stood out was the peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere. Even though the campground was full with RVs and other campers, it was surprisingly quiet and respectful at night—ideal for families or anyone looking to relax.

The tent sites had tons of space between them, giving us both privacy and room to spread out, which can be hard to find at other campgrounds. We never felt cramped and had more than enough room for our gear, a picnic area, and space for the kids to run around.

There’s a lot here that people are looking for when choosing a campground: ✅ Level tent pads ✅ Clean restrooms and showers ✅ Quiet hours that are actually respected ✅ Close proximity to Boone and Blue Ridge Parkway hikes ✅ A friendly staff that makes you feel welcome ✅ Activities for kids and families without being too noisy

Whether you’re in an RV or pitching a tent, Boone KOA is a perfect base for exploring the High Country. Highly recommend and will definitely return!

Great campground

Good sites, drain well, a little close, but will definitely be back. Bathrooms were clean and big. Temperature was very comfortable, didn’t need the A/C in June! Pool was nice, could have had more chairs though. Close to downtown Boone and trails. Great mountain bike park nearby. We really enjoyed the Booneshine brewery after our hikes and mountain biking.

Nice, but sites are small

Admittedly, this was our first trip out with our new (to us) travel trailer. The campground was clean and had nice amenities. It was too cool to play mini golf and we were there before the pool opened. The setting around the campground is beautiful and pastoral with cows grazing. Lots to love about this KOA. The one downside was that the sites are narrow. The width of the sites left little area to hangout outside. We have a Flagstaff 26RLWS with 2 slides on the driver side. With the steps out, there was only a few feet between them and the picnic table. I get why the sites are narrow. It's because the campground is in the mountains and they had to grade the sites out of the side of the hill. We would definitely stay here again.

Close to town but far enough away

I enjoyed the drive out to this site, it is far enough off of the beaten path but still close to town. The site is a very easy drive to Boone and Tweetsie Railroad. We stayed at a camping cabin and it was really nice. The RVs are close to each other in proximity and RV sites are not separated by any brush or trees. We walked the country road for a nice walk each day. Overall it was a really nice KOA if you are in the area and wanting to explore Boone.

Close to Town

About a 5 minute drive to Boone which makes it a great campground for doing sight seeing in town. You're never too far from stores or restaurants to enjoy. KOA is always nice to stay at but there aren't many places to hike in the campground that I've seen. Good tent camping for families who want to go sight seeing around town and enjoy the amenities of Boone, NC.

Southern hospitality

Stayed at site E10 tent camping while looking at schools for my son. Our site couldn't have been more perfect with beautiful views of the Blue Ridge mtns and next to a field full of fireflies that were magical to my girls and was perfect for the 2 hour firewaorks display on the 4th. Site was big (we fit 3 backpacking tents) had electric and water. Location is wonderful. People were incredibly friendly both with the staff and other campers. Little farm animal area the kids could feed. Sites seemed tight for campers however and I feel the gameroom area closed down very early at 9. Clean bathrooms.

Nice KOA. Clean and has everything you need.

We really like camping there. We tent camp and it is clean and has a handful of things for the kids. The only down side is that the tent sites are road side…so when the campers pull in and out you hear them hitting the gas. Every now and again people will peel out on the road. 😕 Otherwise 👍🏻 and enjoy the friendly staff, CLEAN bathrooms and campground.
