"Our site us overlooking the lake and the view is beautiful. Close to downtown and the mountains. Only downfall is very spotty wifi in some areas."

"Locals do roll through on their ATVs/off roading vehicles, but no one ever fired any weapon systems while I was there."
ScoutVery compact space. Only good for a short stay or to visit the area attractions and only sleep. Not as nice as some of the bigger areas. I should have noticed from the photos.
Not right off the highway so. It is pretty quiet.
The employees are really friendly and helpful.
ScoutFirst time camping KOA. We are very pleased with this campground. The staff is friendly. The grounds are beautifully maintained with lots to do for the kids.
Our pull thru site 60 was directly across from the pool and playground. We stayed for the night in 28ft travel trailer without unhooking on a wonderfully level site.
GuideWe traveled in a Class C, so I chose this CG because the bus stop is just outside the CG. Unfortunately, the bus route was suspended due to a lack of drivers just 2 weeks before we arrived. (Not the CG's fault, but it did complicate our trip a bit.) The CG is nice, sites are regularly spaced somewhat close to each other but level. There are many seasonal campers here. Restrooms are clean, laundry is convenient. There are many things to do in the CG, pools, arcade and lots of kids. There is a gas station/convenience store on the property. Staff in the office can answer questions about the area.
We would stay here again if the bus is running.
ScoutNice clean and very quiet.
GuideThis is our second time here. I really like this campground. It is right next to the Museum of Appalachia. It's full of peacocks and mini horses and fat little pigs. I really enjoyed hearing the peacocks and donkeys in the morning. There is so much to do around in the area, too. My family lives here so it is very convenient to visit them.
GuideNot only is it crowded, but very noisy. It is on the main road/highway. Regardless of what the info says, the wifi sucks. They give you the password, but it refuses to let you sign in... Due to thunderstorms, we weren't able to enjoy the pool area.
TravelerNo showers, no soap or warm water in the campgrounds. Picnic areas get soap. The camp sites are great. Bears and Turkeys are plentiful.
GuideCades Cove was fairly quiet and the site was slightly wooded. Picnic table, fire ring and grill, sand tent area, level driveway- all make for a good choice for any type of equipment. No cell service for Verizon and none for many miles on the drive to the site.
ScoutI have been coming to King's Holly Haven Rv Park since 2019. It is very peaceful. It's also located just 1 mile from the Parkway which makes it a convenient location to all of the attractions. The folks are always friendly here. The showers are clean and hot. The pool is a refreshing dip on hot days. We loved camping near the creek. Bonus: the office serves free coffee in the mornings :)
