We always feel welcome at Boone KOA. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Tent sites are grassy and level. The covered picinic table is great when the montain thunderstorms pop up. We stay every summer and love it.

My boyfriend and I were signed up to do a run in Valle Crucis, NC, and thought that the KOA would make for a cheap night's lodging the evening before the race. The staff was quite friendly upon check-in, so no complaints there. But, we quickly noticed that the tent sites were right up front, by the road and next to the check-in building—and knew that would be a problem.

We were probably in bed by 9:30 or so, trying to get a good nights rest before our run. Unfortunately, that was impossible! We quickly dubbed the location "Grand Central Station" and "The Walmart of KOAs" due to the sheer volume of traffic coming into the camp, very late. Literally, every 10 minutes, another RV was rolling in... right beside us. And if there was supposed to be a quiet time, it was never enforced. There was loud music playing well into the night, and children running rampant very late.

To top it off, my morning shower was far from the advertised "hot shower". At best it was less than luke warm.

The location was great, and the staff was quite friendly. But the tent sites are simply in the worst possible location. So I would never recommend camping there in a tent!

Park has many trees with low hanging limbs, short pull thrus, roads that are rough, uneven and on steep grades. The park appears old and in need of improvements. It may be fine for tents, kabin campers, & smaller RVs but it is not suited for big rigs. We checked in and were given the number of our parking space. Nobody showed us to the space and helped us park our 35ft fifth wheel. Consequently, as we were trying to avoid hitting anything on either side of the RV, we ended up backing into a low hanging limb, causing damage to our roof. After talking with several of our fellow campers who had had similar problems getting parked, we all agreed that this would be our last trip to Boone KOA.

This is a great campground for families. We took our 3 small grandchildren. There is a playground and pool. We went Memorial day weekend and the campground was full. Everything was kept very clean. I never went in the bathhouse and found it dirty. I would recommend this campground.
