Rented a different cabin style this time. It was smaller that the one we booked last time. Child liked the bunk beds. I will not book this style cabin again. Too small, hard to move about, store items. Also needs a screen door or storm door.

Great staff, nice amenities. Only the barking dogs kept it from being a 9 or 10. Thanks!

Our cabin (L246) smelled heavily of cigarette smoke (we had to open the door and windows for about 2 hours to air the cabin out it was so bad) and there was hair on the comforter in the front bedroom. I did speak with someone when we checked out who said that someone would call me to let me know what could be done to compensate but I haven't heard anything as of now.

We will return!

Beautiful and peaceful fall setting; we thoroughly enjoyed the tranquility and hospitality I was however disappointed with the bathrooms' cleanliness since I have stayed at several KOAs and have always been impressed at how clean and updayed they have always been. Other than that, we were very pleased to spend a few days there.

Great rv park. Close to everything we like. Park is clean and well laid out. Staff is friendly and helpful. We will continue to stay at this park.

The Great Smokies KOA is a wonderful campground. I was surprised at the wonderful pool area and the playground was a huge hit. There is a wide variety of campsites that are able to fit any size rig. It was an easy drive to the National Park entrance, I would highly recommend this campground!

Wow! The campground has improved so much since we stayed there 3 years ago. Bathroom/shower clean and updated. The staff in the office were helpful and courteous.

The park was great. Staff was friendly. The bathrooms were clean. The showers needed a little cleaning. Loved the sites with the pet fence.

Facilities were nice but the bathroom was disgusting. The smell of old urine hit you in the face as soon as you opened the door. It appeared it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks or months as old urine was caked in the urinals. I drove home with no shower just to avoid going in there my last morning.

The only thing to mention is that the bathrooms didn't receive any maintenance during our stay, including no soap, things like that. Otherwise the staff and stay was good.

We stayed in a Deluxe cabin #506. It was a very cute cabin, however not clean at all. Dusty, cobwebs, bugs, dirt on the window sils. definately didnt have a "clean" feel at all. The coach was torn up. It might be time to upgrade a bit. We came with our entire family. We booked two deluxe cabins and two campsites. We weren't allowed to have a fire because of burn ban which was understanda

I would rate it 5 stars except the bathhouses were absolutely disgusting and one soap dispenser was out for 2 days before being filled. It seemed like the employees just rode around on golf carts rather than actually doing anything. Other than that we do love the campground itself and all the activities available

I only gave four stars due to the roaches that were in our cabin. Other than that the campground is beautiful and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

The staff were friendly. The campground was beautiful and really went all out for Halloween with the decorations.

Probably the best KOA or RV park we have ever stayed in. Love the heated indoor pool, the size of the RV sites, the friendly staff, firewood delivered to us, the very well-equipped laundry room, the nearby river and virtually no traffic noise. The only thing that was less than stellar were the restrooms and showers. They could be a lot cleaner and it is time for upgrading and remodeling, for sure.

We usually camp but decided to try a cabin for a short weekend stay. We come at least twice a year. Very disappointed in the cleanliness of the cabin 237. There were bloodstains on a pillow case, big chunks of hair like a brush had been cleaned out and left in the pull out mattress, dirty tissue’s stuck in between the cushions of the couch, chunks of dust hanging from fan and more but out of ro

It was the best it has ever been! We arrived at home safe and sound at 6:00 pm on Monday November 6. We had a blast at KOA this visit! There wasn't a lot of campers and you could enjoy the campground silence, the beautiful art that Jesus leaves on our trees during this time of the year! Thank you again for all of your generosity. We absolutely LOVE KOA IN CHEROKEE! It's like leaving home for a fam

Staff was helpful, lots were spacious. Lots of room for kids & families. There were a lot of pets, the dog park could be bigger to give them more exercise.

4 adults in deluxe 2 bedroom on the creek. Great cabin. Had everything we needed including shampoo, body wash, conditioner, make up wipes, hair dryer! Linens were all there. Dog dishes. Great patio furniture. Very clean. Definitely returning.

An amazing time as always. I usually stay in a tent when I visit but went with a camping cabin this time and it was more than I hoped for. Every time I visit the Cherokee area I always (and will continue to) stay at KOA. Looking forward to next time! -Bryan

Cabin (16): lock did not work, cabin not clean, restrooms: there was toothpaste in the sink for 3 days, toiletpaper almost gone after 3 days, so no cleaning in 3 days. Also mold everywhere on ceilings and walls, disgusting! Before arriving I saw some bedbug rapports and discussed it with the manager, she told us they are not bedbugs but batbugs, but bloodstains are on the beds. will not come back.

As I exited from site 90 I encountered low hanging branches between my site and the office . They scraped my roof pretty good . They need a trim David

We have stayed at this location many times, and stayed in the cabins many times, the cabins are usually very clean. This time it was not as clean, the propane for the grill was empty, the air conditioner was very dirty and needs to be cleaned out and there was a musty smell in the cabin from the main air conditioner. It just seems as if something is different now.

I love the campground location. The campground itself is clean, but the bathrooms were not. Amenities are great and store staff is very friendly.

This is a great KOA and camping spot in general! The staff were extremely helpful from pre-arrival to late check-in, and all onsite needs once we were there. We rented a deluxe cabin which was well appointed. The location is just far enough out of downtown Cherokee to be quiet and serene yet just a few minutes drive and you're right at the Oconolufte visitor's center in GSMNP. We requested help with getting a cooking grill grate added to our campfire ring and not only did the office staff kindly request it, but it was already swapped out by the time we walked back to our cabin.

The staff was very pleasant and the facilities were maintained well. There are plenty of things to entertain the kids with onsite, the fishing was good and location provided nice views. We definitely had a great time and certainly plan on returning!
