Beautiful campground, quiet and peaceful on the river front sites. Brand new sites are VERY nice and level. Greeted by Hosts immediately who helped us disconnect Tow vehicle, gave us directions on best place to do this and escorted us to our site. They even had glasses for everyone for the Eclipse. Very peaceful stay which is exactly what we wanted.

Cabin was very dusty. We couldn’t get the heat to turn on, neither could the helper. It came on sometime mid -night. Also TV remote was missing a battery, we tried to open other remote but it had a screw in it so you couldn’t take off the cover. Regardless we loved the cabin and hope to return soon.

Wish the bath house was closer to the camping cabins and the door to the back bed area had no latch. But the place is quiet and peaceful. Will be back again. This is the 2nd time I've stayed here.

The Townsend KOA is top-notch! The river sites are amazing, the kids loved the playground, and my husband loved the camp showers!!! The landscaping is beautifully done and their attention to the grounds are impeccable. We were there during a rainy stint but still found plenty to do around the Townsend and GSM area. Tuckaleechee Caverns were well worth the adventure and we were sad to check out!

Clean campground, friendly staff! We had a few issues with neighboring campers that let their children run through others' campsites. One child messed with our hitch, one almost scratched the entire front of our bumper with a large log. We understand this isn't necessarily the campground's fault, but it did put a damper on our stay not knowing if our stuff was safe at our site.

We love camping and we have noticed KOA’s (besides Baileyton, Tn) place their campsites wayyy to close together! We could hear our neighbors talking.

The only reason I didn't give my stay a 5 star review was the terribly slow wifi, and the fact that 90% of the property that was along the river was private spots. I understand the more waterfront RV spaces you have equals more $$$.... But unless you have 1 of the coveted waterfront spaces/cabins, the other 80% of the guests can only access the river via one small corner of the vast property

The campground is very clean. The bathrooms are super clean. The staff are very helpful, always going above and beyond. The campground itself is two minutes from GSNP, and is right along the river, the water is cold and clean. This is our favorite campground.

Honestly such a great campsite the only thing that would’ve made it better is a grate for the fire pit to cook, but I’ll bring my own from now on, I thought the cook pits were standard but I guess not anymore.. anyway not a big deal I made do& the sweetest lady checked me in ( Mary I think)

This is the nicest campground I’ve stayed at in this area and would choose this over anything near Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. They call this the peaceful side of the Smokies and it’s so true. We stayed on the creek with a patio and it was perfect and very relaxing. We also loved how close it was to the entrance of the national park. We’ll definitely be back!

The ladies there were always helpful, always had a smile on her face. The men would help anyway that they needed me. It was a very clean facility. It was nice and quiet. They kept the noise down after hands-down. The best place I’ve ever ever can’t and would definitely be back.

The staff was friendly, and inviting. We called last minute and were readily accommodated with a wonderful cabin. The camp ground was clean, and beautiful! We were sad we could only stay one night.

Very helpful, friendly staff! Great setting and only a few miles from Cades Cove, my wife's favorite place in the world. Had a great time!

We had a wonderful time at the Townsend facility. The staff were incredible. The park was everything we hoped for our trip. Thank you to all the great people we met.

My family and I have camped out of tent previously in the Great Smokies National Park decided to book a KOA Deluxe Cabin this time around. I have to say that the location was perfect. It was calm and quiet and less crowded than staying closer to the Smokies. The deluxe cabin was so nice and clean. The bunk-beds were perfect for the boys. The cabin was great for spring time in the smokies!

Issues with restroom, issues with campsite, issues with checkout. Not a great stay.

Friendly staff, cabin was clean, good value.

Very enjoyable and peaceful with all the accommodations needed for those like us using the ground's showers and restrooms. Plenty of hot water and clean facilities. We have always enjoy Townsend's KOA after 28 years of visiting and always a great stay.

Great place and great helpful people

We loved the location and the park was very nice. We stayed in one of the deluxe cabins and unfortunately there was a terrible ant problem that made it very unpleasant. Had we not arrived late and only stayed one night, we would have requested other accommodations or a refund.

Enjoyed the RV site along the river. A great location to experience the outdoors and away from the busyness of other areas

Cades cove is a great place to go and enjoy nature at its best, pigeon forge has a lot of wonderful stores and amusement parks along the strip

This is a "Holiday" KOA so it has amenities for campers who stay away and look for entertainment. It is just outside and entrance to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The "Little River" flows by the edge of the campground then into the National Park. some sites back up to the river. There are many trees in the campground. The bathroom and other building facilities are dated in design but clean, neat and spotless in appearance. I feel the whole campground is well maintained. I have a high-end site, $100/night but I like the space. All sites are gravel. Mine was in excellent condition. Very quiet at night. No AT&T cell service but the campground WiFi worked very well all the time.
