What you should know
Highway noise: Greensboro KOA glamping accommodations provide comfort but with some ambient sound. A visitor mentioned, "As previously mentioned, serves it's purpose for an overnight. Right off the highway, and by that I mean you see, and HEAR the traffic. The billboard in front of the trailer is an interesting touch. Nothing ear plugs and a long day can't fix."
