Our cabin had black mold in the bath ceiling & on the windows & blinds. The refrigerator was missing door shelves (also missing last year) & kept freezing food. The prices go up every year but the cabins quality go down…

The cabins are in need of maintenance. Lights out or blinking, loose outlets, soft spots in the floors, missing siding boards and mold in the bathrooms. My cabin specifically is supposed to be accessible, but many things would have been out of reach for me if I had been alone. The ramp has a large bump I needed help to get up and the rocks were again hard to traverse. The brick pathway is better.

I was a little disappointed in way the ground were. Grass didn’t look like it was cut in a while.

I loved staying at Cherokee KOA. For me, I enjoyed staying on the southern side of the Smokies. It was less traffic and I enjoyed the roads leading to the mountains. I enjoyed the cabin, and access to pond. I will be stay here from now one anytime I come down on my motorcycle.

Gas grill had rusty grates. Grate plates replaced when asked for new grates. Should have checked rest of grill operation at that time. My opinion. Very low gas flow on the grill. Could warm a hot dog but not cook a hamburger or chicken. Outside light not working. Thursday night kitchen closed at 7:30 instead of the advertised 8PM time. That said, we had a good time. Always a great place to s

The staff was awesome � and it was one of the friendliest campgrounds we ever stayed and were thankful for being a KOA member and we want to give special thanks to Teresa for getting us in she was the best!

Everything was wonderful. Only mention is the Wi-Fi is not good at all. It was packed so probably the problem. Coming back next year!

The people were friendly, but the bathhouses were not kept super clean and I could tell the cabin we stayed in has not had a deep clean due to cob webs covered in dust behind the bed. I wouldn’t mind coming back if I had my own camper.

Everytime I come its always after the checkin time that I get my key. If it was once in a while I i ould understand but its evertime. The camping cabins are minimal cleaning.

Nice cabin, plenty of room, will be back again. The only dislike about this cabin there was no bathroom in cabin.
Oct 27, 2026
No problems, check in (after hours) was easy, staff was very nice. Stayed on site 292, my only complaint is the bathhouse closest to 292 could use some updating, and wasn’t very clean.

Only issue was speeding through campground. Seen alot of staff and others telling people slow down. Personally think if your staff seen people speeding faster then 5 mph i think yall should fine the person $50 or $100 dollars that would slow them down. Know yall had send 2 different text while I was there about it

Stay was great, cabin was dirty. There was old candy on the loft with ants, old food and someone's socks under the pulpit couch.

Get the indoor swimming pool fixed and opened. That's one of the perks for this KOA. Improve on the wireless internet.

Wonderful time as always at Cherokee KOA. We go every year for a Halloween. weekend and random weekends throughout the year. The staff is amazing, the amenities, and the lodging. My kids always ask when are we going back, because they always have a blast.
Oct 26, 2026
There are no clear campsite numbers. Please insist campers have an escort when setting up AND improve campsite numbers with paint on the roads and signage. It was tiresome getting texts about driving the speed limit when KOA staff buzzed around far faster than 5 MPH. Finally, when sending texts about water being shut off, please indicate the area of the campground impacted. Thanks.

We had a great family time. The cabin including sheets and a bathroom was less to pack. Probably will do it that way again next time it's more than just husband and self. We enjoyed our fires by the cabin and the shower was sufficient as well. Nice not having to walk to the community restroom!
Oct 26, 2026
We had an awesome stay, everyone is always so friendly. The park was clean and well decorated for Halloween. Have a lot of activities for children ,as well as adults. we saw was happy faces everywhere.. They have a great manager who keeps everything running smoothly.

We love coming to the KOA. This was our first time coming during Halloween . Our kids had an absolute blast. They enjoyed getting to trick or treat. We definitely plan on coming back next year.

People camping by the bathrooms were drunk all night.The men were peeing on the posts instead of going across to the bathrooms or in their own campers. I did not feel safe at all. Both men & women's bathrooms were unclean & not picked up or checked on frequently. There were plenty of people riding around and picking up trash yet no one cared about the bathrooms, especially on such a busy weekend.

We can not wait to come back in the very near future and bring our kids with us! This was our first campground and we loved it!
Oct 26, 2026
The camp ground is in the perfect area. However the camp ground was not clean. The bathrooms and showers were dirty the whole time we were there. The dog poop trash cans were never emptied. Very disappointed.

Great location near Parkway and Smokey nat park entrance. The elk were very friendly!

It was excellent! We are retired but we loved the Halloween decorations and all the kids and families enjoying themselves. The gentleman on the golf cart slowing traffic down was exceptionally nice. He had darker skin and a black beard. He was soooo nice!

All if the employees I spoke with were very helpful and nice. I like the text message option that they used for important updates. The campground was clean and decorated with fun Halloween decorations

Our vist was quiet and relaxing. That fish cleaning station could use a little work.
Oct 21, 2026
Really enjoy the quiet setting. Close to town for shopping and groceries. Tons of things for kids to do. Convenience store open 9-5 if needed
