Campground Reviews

Apr 02, 2026
Our cabin was nice but we requested extra towels to wash with for the next day but no one brought any. We even put the used one in a plastic bag outside. Also, we purchased one of the Smores bundle and the staff never advised us that there was a fire ban in place and even sold us the wood.

Location was good, amenities seemed OK. The cleanliness of the bathrooms was completely unacceptable. We arrived at 3:30pm and found the men’s room next to our site unusable due to other guests having overflowed the toilets with toilet paper and waste everywhere. When we left the next day, the bathroom still hadn’t been touched.

Finding the assigned spot and determining what angle to come in would have been easier if like most other KOA’s had a golf cart guide the campground is nice good place to camp

Our stay was exceptional. My fiancé had never been to Cherokee. Before we left he was already planning another trip down to fish. He said this will be a yearly trip, hopefully every March and September!!

Stayed in cabin 502. Multiple issues. Refrigerator barely cooling, freezer frosted. Heater in bathroom did not work. Shower curtain was moldy. Screen door wouldn't shut. Light/fan in bedroom only had a pull for the light, so you couldn't use light without fan. The air conditioner was filthy. Sad, we are KOA Rewards members and like to stay here but the last few times have been disappointing.

Our family of 30 have been coming for years. We had a great time but was disappointed in the WiFi connection. The price we pay to stay there should be much better WiFi connection. Also there were no activities for the kids, which was disappointing as well. Staff is always super friendly but just some recommendations. We love the KOA

Too costly. It seems prices go up every year. I probably won't be able to schedule another trip because of the cost

Stay was great and the fishing was great. Our only complaints was the showers for the pools wasn't working and the pools was a bit dingy this time around and this isn't a normal thing. We always enjoy staying in our cabin next to our friends and letting the kids run and play without worry.

We had a great stay. We found it interesting though, that we got daily text reminders that the speed limit is 5mph, yet people (employees included) were driving golf carts faster than 5 mph. We also noticed one person on an e-bike going faster than 5mph.

I have been going to the KOA for the past 15 years. They have excellent professional staff. Always there to help you wouldn't choose anywhere else.

The campground is beautiful with the river running along. When we booked our stay, we were under the impression that there would be activities for kids. The activities were stated to start in April, even though when we booked it was listed to start before we arrived. The cabin we stayed in was great, but there was a lot of mold in the bathroom.

The campground was nice and we enjoyed it. However the female staff in the office was not customer focused. They were always standing around talking, petting dogs, etc., etc and not helping customers. I had to wait and I witnessed many others that did too.

We was really disappointed I made my reservations 3 weeks in advance I wanted to come up and fish in the ponds she told me on the phone all I had to do was get a license from the front desk when I came they told me I wouldn't allowed to fish in the ponds because of a tournament coming up that pretty much messed my whole trip up

This place was great. It’s a lovely facility with lots of amenities. I would definitely visit again. My only complaints are that they don’t care about daytime noise like neighbors playing their radio for the whole area, and the hot tub was too murky to get into. I told them and they were responsive but I didn’t see if it was fixed before I left.

Several lights in the cabin did not work. Lights above beds and porch light. Overall had a great stay.

I can not say enough good things about this place!!! This is my second year staying here, and I will be back every year I'm able to. The staff is absolutely amazing here. The bathrooms and facilities are clean and in great condition.

The cabin was great for our weekend getaway. The only complaint is the hours of operation for the office. Check in for cabins start at 4 and the office closes at 5. Keys are just left in the cabin for after hours check in which seems unsafe. It would be nice of the stayed open until 7 or so incase you need to get something from the camp store instead of driving into town or waiting until next day.

Bathrooms at the back of campground were not as clean and need space to hang or set your things when showering.

Place was very clean. Only issue was that one of the showers was out of order, but since the campground wasn't crowded it wasn't a problem.

I love staying at KOA campgrounds. I have now been to many from all across North Carolina and some in South Carolina. Always friendly staff and clean common areas! KOA Cherokee was one of the larger canpgrounds and had great amenities! I will definitely be back! 10 stars!

This was the PERFECT Smoky Mtn getaway! Being on the south side of the park meant needing to drive back thru for most things, but it was so worth it to be in a quiet town and a fun campground. The amenities were awesome and our cabin was great. The only (very minor) bummer was the hours for the office. 9-5 meant we never made it up there since we got out early and got in after that every day we were there.

This is my favorite camping spot when we go to Cherokee and the Smokey mountain area! It's a little further north from the main town part of Cherokee but it's nice and peaceful! Theres a river around the campground and it's nice to go and explore! The rv spots are nice and spacious with most having a small lawn area with room for chairs and such! There's also a few extra things like a small playground, bounce pillow, and a pool! Unfortunately last time when I went the pool was down for maintenance but it was definitely cold enough to not want to swim anyway! The koa is in nice distance of the Smokey mountains and a few other waterfalls!

Been coming to this location since I was a kid. Changed a lot but for the better and love it. Definitely will be coming back and bring friends to enjoy the experience. **make sure the cabin cleaners make sure everything is clean. Animal hair all in the pulpit couch sheets, windows dirty** cabin 228**
