Wilmington KOA

Wilmington KOA sits along the Valley River in Murphy, providing full hookup sites for RVs along with basic tent camping areas. The campground offers standard KOA amenities including restrooms, showers, electric and water hookups, plus WiFi access throughout the property.

Sites directly on the river provide water access, though campers report hearing road traffic from the nearby highway. The campground maintains a compact layout that some visitors find crowded, particularly during busy periods with families. Staff receives positive mentions for friendliness, and restroom facilities stay reasonably clean despite heavy use. Dogs must remain leashed at all times. Reservations are recommended, especially for sites around Murphy during peak season.

Nice but crowded

It was a nice campground. But it is set up to be too crowded. Not my kind of camping. But they stated was friendly. The restrooms weren’t so bad considering how many kids was there. Couldn’t let the dogs walk free so that sucked.
