Super experience right from the start with a quick friendly check-in, clean cabin and grounds, a great location! One of my top go to places and favorite campgrounds - - right on a calm river, in the mountains, amongst forest, away from civilization, near a Nat'l Park, etc...! My sons enjoyed fishing and we all enjoyed the site & sound of the water... We'll be back - - hopefully sooner than late

Great little efficiency cabin by the creek, we enjoyed our stay. The only issue we encountered was, we splashed a little water on the floor & when we used a paper towel to clean it up, we were appalled at how dirty the floors were! Needs to be mopped!

We enjoyed our stay. The only complaint that I have would be the golf cart that we rented was not as we were expecting. It was very dirty and did not operate smooth at all. It would only go wide open or nothing at all, there was no in between. I was told by maintenance that is just how they are. I have rode many golf carts and never come across this issue. For $65 I just expected a little more.

Our stay with you was AMAZING! We had an Full hook up RV space on the river with a beautiful view. My only complaint, was someone's dog running loose and harassing our dog at our campsite. After the unwanted visitor left, our blissful visit resumed.

Everything was perfect! thank you for making our vacation well worth it. We cannot wait for our trip next year back.

Campground not full until Thursday. Plenty of spots to give us all some privacy, instead they bunched us all together. Especially if you bring your dog. I saw several people not cleaning up after their pets, one man did but would leave the poop bag for someone else to clean up. Someone put food scraps in the dog play area, chicken bones.

We had a RV issue that required us to be towed to Knoxville from the Cherokee KOA. We would like to thank everyone for their assistance. We did not have a definite time for the tow truck arrival and everyone was very accommodating. Many of the employees would stop by to inquire how things were going. It is hard to put in words how kind and caring everyone was. Thank you all!

After sixteen years we finally made it back to this awesome KOA! Of all our travels, this is the best of the best! Love the river, especially sleeping with windows open and going to sleep with the river sounds! This KOA has the best of the best in their employees also. Park is very clean and they are continually making improvements. Can't wait to get back there next year for a longer stay!

Nice clean peaceful spot with friendly staff. This was a very enjoyable campground with lots to do right there in the park. The team seemed to enjoy what they do and were always working to make the park better

No hot water. Staff lies to protect themselves. Front desk personnel are irrational. We will never use this facility again.
Sep 11, 2019
Very nice campground, but it was impossible to get sleep until early morning hours due to rowdy next door neighbors. This is the first campground we have ever had this problem at. Most have a quiet time that is enforced by 11 PM. Very disappointing!

Great campground right in the middle of where you want to be.

Spacious cabin. Would be nice to have bathrooms closer to the cabins on the far end. Loved how quiet it was! Needs more parking for that end. Your maintenance manager brought his own air compressor to fill our daughters tire! He was awesome!! He was kind and patient and quickly responded!!! When we checked out that morning the tire compressor was broken.

2nd time we have stayed here this year. ♥��♥��♥��♥�� Plenty to offer for the grand baby to keep him busy. Very clean campground, large sites.

No shade. The sewer attachment in the ground was broken. It appeared that someone tried to fix it, badly. The top of the sewer attachment is not connected to the sewer system, which means that raw sewage goes into the ground, and, there are rivers close by.

Overall our stay was nice and relaxing, as it always is. With the exception of neighbors across from our cabin 353, who had three dogs that barked excessively during the day at every passerby. Thankfully at night the dogs were brought inside the camper and we were able to have a good night's rest. Bathrooms and showers were clean. The grounds around our cabin and the entire campground looked great

Great campground with lots of amenities to keep the kids busy . It’s close to town and the Smokies I rented a rustic cabin however to my surprise there was no AC. It was 87 degrees outside and hotter in the cabin . The fan just made it feel like a convection oven . It cooled off as the sun went down so the nights were fine . It explains why so many of their cabins are empty this time of

Our 2nd trip this year. Large level sites, friendly staff, nice camp store. Clean!
Sep 09, 2019
Very nice people overall - from check in to the daily upkeep of the camp. Any issues outside of the rules (unruly dogs, loud partying) was handled effectively by the staff. Very much appreciated. Thanks!

Loved it!!

Some of the help are kinda rude. Some are extremely nice. Since the campground has changed hands. Some employees shouldn’t have been hired or brought on.

As it was our first time traveling to KOA of Cherokee, my friends and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the entire stay & experience. The campground is secluded, private, very nice and clean. Rachel and Steve have done an excellent job! Ryn, one of the Reservationists had outstanding hospitality during our entire stay and was able to answer any questions. She truly made our party feel at home. Her husband is also awesome with getting you set up and filling propane! We had a slight issue with a cab service to shuttle us to Harrah’s. (No Uber/Lyft Available) Rachel happened to be around while we found a second plan for transportation. After she found out what was going on, she offered to shuttle us to the Casino with no questions asked. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will be returning very soon and I hope you visit KOA of Cherokee!
