Everyone in the check in process is very nice. However the cost, compared to all the area campgrounds is over priced. This is a great place to stay with family and the perfect spot. Just over priced.

We love coming here. We always come in May when its quiet. Already looking forward to our next stay. I am sad I cant book from May to the next May like we used to be able to do. Now we have to call back to reserve and no one can tell me when i can call back. That is my only complaint. Otherwise, love this place.

Weather was beautiful. I had a very relaxing stay. My patient and his fiance enjoyed fishing and shopping in the campstore. No fish caught but fun trying. Clean and well maintained facilities. We will be back.

Workers very nice and friendly. Saw manager twice and she wasn’t friendly at all. Before our stay we drove over to talk and see about leaving camper yr round. She spoke as though she did t want us and even made the statement she didn’t need us.

Did not stock trout while we were there.Disapointing.

We had a wonderful stay. I was a little disappointed that the sink in the kitchen was also the bathroom sink in the Deluxe Loft Cabins, but nothing can be done about that now, The maps and promotions indicate that the fishing ponds are stocked "twice weekly". In past 2 years, stayed for a week and there was only 1 stocking each time. May not have control of this, but it shouldn't be advertised

Cherokee KOA is one of our favorite campgrounds, always clean with roomy sites. We enjoy the relaxing mountain forest setting and prefer the river sites. Lots of wildlife to see from elk to woodpeckers to chipmunks. I heard a fox call on our last morning there. Lots of fishing. It’s a great location for exploring Cherokee and the Great Smokey Mountains.

Very enjoyable stay. The KOA facilities and weather were great. We’ll definitely visit NC again.

Always a great time! We had a cabin right in the river. It was very clean and peaceful. We saw elk on our way to the KOA and had 4 geese visit every evening right across the river. Being at the KOA in Cherokee, NC is one of our favorite places to be. We were also lucky enough to catch some trout. We will be back next year!

Had a studio cabin but it lacked coffee cups or glasses. A comfortable chair in the room would be great to have. People were very pleasant and the site was lovely on the river. Better designation of the different cabins and their locations would have been much more helpful. It all worked out well though

The cabin we rented smelled like dog poop the entire time. Seemed like they did not clean the place. Toilet paper was low had to go ask for more. Paper towel had like five sheets left. Service was nice, but house keeping did not do a good job cleaning. Grill didn’t work. They should’ve checked it before renting the place to us. The heater in the living room didn’t even work.

The cabin was very nice and we found everything we needed. The gas grill on the deck was very welcomed and we used it every evening. Everyone associated with KOA we interacted with were helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Everyone who works here was super nice! The kind of people you want to be around on vacation.

I arrived to Cherokee KOA on 4-23-2019 for a get away with my grandchildren. We arrived about 1:00pm and were told that we couldn't check in until after 3:00pm because STAFF was cleaning cabins. OKAY that understandable!!! The cabin was NASTY toilet didn't flush dishes were dirty hair in tub I had to clean before I could give baths we have stayed here for years and wanted our Grandchildren to have

Was ready to check in at 3p but waited 2 hrs for our cabin to be ready. Cabin was in terrible location with views of the entrance into KOA and drain pipe. Not on the river like it says. Wouldn’t recommend deluxe cabin 513.

cabin 243, Your site had a promo $114 per night but the woman said she didn’t know about it. I had to pay $149. Got in after 3 and I was not happy with the cleanliness. Food was under the drawers in refrigerator,grease on stove top,floor not sweep well, food on headboard, none of bathroom dispensers filled until Wed. Hot & cold reversed throughout cabin, hair in shower, a/c filters not cleaned .

We did not have a reservation but upon arrival we requested a cabin that we liked..(k251).it was occupied so we asked for the one next door (k252). We got k250. No TV or fridge or large deck. We had k251 reserved last summer but it was being upgraded. No one called to tell us ahead of arrival. We do not plan to return to koa Cherokee.

Loved the deluxe cabin on the river. Staff members were very helpful. Only problem we had was with the gas grill. It had a lot of build up and the whole inside caught on fire during preheat. Turned it off and shut the lid to put out the fire. Could use more lighting/shelves in bathroom. Mirrow placement/lighting is not good for shaving and makeup. We hope to return soon.

Not thrilled about new management. Pool had way to much chlorine and no bathrooms were open inside. What’s that tell ya.? Three boys playing football on the bouncy and kept playing after we complained.they were knocking over the little ones. Men’s bathroom had no hot water and soap was never filled in dispensers. Usually KOA can deliver wood ice after hours. It was a ghost town. Last time her

Camp Ground is great well maintained. Frustrated that we got there at 11:30 we knew check in was at 3:00pm. We purchased our fishing license then..came back at 3:00pm sharp house cleaning still had not gotten to our cabin. We were told 15 more minutes came back at 3:15 house keeping again said 15 or 20 more minutes. We came back at 3:30 cabin still not ready. We finally checked in around 3:45.

Under new management, again. Grass was high, bathrooms needed attention and a simple request was not granted due to being "sold out" which was not at all true. We normally love, love, love our stay here, but I guess something is being lost in the transition. Our cabin was nice, as always I had to plug holes in the screens with tissues, but the view of the river was breathtaking.
Apr 26, 2019
We had a great time. The staff was very friendly and quick to help. Love the location and all of the activities to do on site.

GREAT PLACE TO STAY. RESERVATIONS MADE ON LINE BUT WHEN GOT TO THE KOA THE CABIN BOOKED ONLINE WAS DIFFERENT. MOST OF FRONT DESK STAFF WAS VERY ACCOMADATING. ONLY ONE YOUNG GIRL UP AT FRONT DESK WAS VERY RUDE WHEN ASKED TO CHANGE TO ORIGINAL CABIN BOOKED ON RIVER. KIDS LOVE IT.
