Asheville East KOA

Gateway to the Blue Ridge Parkway

We chose this park because of its close proximity to the Blue Ridge Parkway. There are many things to explore in the area and this KOA allowed us to have a great place from which to launch. The KOA was an appealing park with a large creek and 3 large ponds, lots of room to run for me. There was also a pool and kids play area, as well as a set-up for corn hole and some other recreational games. The laundry area was nice, ac, and the large dryers were under a covered outdoor area (probably so as not to heat up the washing area), shower/ bath facilities were very clean and homey, decent camp store, and gravel sites. The park was very large, and had a variety of sites to include tent camping (appearing to be very popular on the weekends). My only complaint would be the length of the back-in sites. When we arrived we were able to pull thru bc no one was behind us. However, when we hooked up to leave, it was a bit of a challenge because of the vehicles parked around and in front of you (and no one offered to move their truck so you could have a little extra room to maneuver). What else? They pick your trash up daily at your site, and there was a great BBQ place nearby calked Okey Dokey's (Guy Fieri needs to check this place out for his Triple D), oh and I personally love the sound of the trains, as I grew up around them with my dad working on the railroad. Staying near trains seems to be our signature! Overall, I'd say this KOA is a nice place to stay.
