Murphy/Peace Valley KOA

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Reservations are available year-round at this KOA in Marble, North Carolina, roughly three miles northeast of campgrounds near Murphy, making it a workable base for multi-day trips into the western Carolina mountains. The campground sits alongside the Valley River, and water access comes up repeatedly in reviews: tubing is available on-site for a small rental fee, and river-level sites put campers within a short walk of the bank. Sites are heavily treed, which keeps the layout from feeling like a parking lot, though spacing between neighbors is tight enough that privacy is limited.

The campground runs full hookups including electric, water, and sewer, plus WiFi, showers, and a dump station, so RV travelers have what they need on-site. Cleanliness is one of the most consistent themes across reviews, with multiple visitors noting that facilities are well-maintained and staff are hands-on. A large off-leash dog area and a seasonal pool add to the activity options, and the surrounding area gives access to zip-lining, whitewater outfitters, and a local rodeo.

Frank L. notes that "farm animals will be seen and heard across the stream," a detail worth knowing for light sleepers. Nearby alternatives include Valley River RV Resort to the west and Creekside RV Park to the northeast. This campground tends to work best for families and pet owners who want river access and full hookups without a large-resort footprint.

Had a great time

These folkes are hands on! Kat the host was awesome! We tent camped and it was shady and cool! Farm animals will be seen and heard across the stream and add to the charm. The coes come down for a drink and you can hear Mariah Carey opps i mean turkey sing ( much better). Very very dog friendly!

Peaceful

Lovely campground with friendly, helpful staff. They have worked hard to upgrade the campground which is surrounded by a river. There is a large dog run area, playground, pool in season and close proximity to the town of Murphy. Beautiful area. We camp here frequently

Wonderfully forested and friendly campground

I stayed at this campground in 2013 (3 days) and I have scheduled to go there again for a week in May 2019.This is a KOA and even though I normally am not a fan of KOAs this place is very different. It is small and heavily treed so the campground does NOT look like a parking lot. There seemed to be amble space between sites. There is an awesome gold-bearing creek alongside the camp which is too cool. The place is pet friendly, the owner is awesome, the price is reasonable. There is an acre field for dogs to be off leash and run, you can tube in the creek, they have nice cabins. The bathhouse was older when I was there but from what I understand it has been remodeled in recent years….but I don't go camping to explore the bathrooms so I don't really care about them. This is a great family site and it is fairly quiet, so if you are like me and you camp to GET AWAY from noise and drama, then this is the place!!

GREAT FAMILY VACATION

We just spent 10 days at Peace Valley KOA, and we had a great time!! Family met us there and we had 2 campers and 1 cabin. Everything was very clean! So much to do in the area... Ridge Runners Ziplining, NOC, Rodeo, Tri-county racetrack, and tubing in the river right by the campground!

Lovely Little Park

We had a very peaceful trip to this KOA. First of all, this was my first time visiting a KOA. I have always been a state park person, but since we bought a camper we are branching out. The manager was very helpful, he even sent me pictures of the sites when I had questions. Upon arrival, we loved how cute and quaint it was. It is a small park, with all sites very close together. If you're looking for privacy, or are more of a party camper, I would not suggest this place. At one point I was laying in our bed and my husband opened the camper door and a was staring directly in to the eyes of our neighbor, sitting inside their camper at their table. Awkward... I digress! We loved this place. Our site was right on the Valley River. It was so serene just sitting there watching the water flow by. I would say that I was a little concerned about my little one tumbling off the small drop off, but she was smart enough to realize it was not safe, and stayed on the camper pad. Speaking of the little one, she had a great time! There was a little play ground, swings, cornhole, some balls for her to throw, a pool (small but since it was not busy we really enjoyed it), a game room, and a store with essentials. Oh, and for $3 you could rent a tube and float down the lazy river. Be warned though that getting in to and out of the river is not super easy and you will get dirty. I loved it though! Another plus to this park was the location to "city life". We made 2 trips to Walmart, and also picked up breakfast one day. There are plenty of food choices if you need a break from grilling. The location, just two hours from our North Atlanta home, was great for a quick getaway. Everyone was nice, including all of our neighbors. A great weekend adventure!
