I always have an incredible stay when I visit with very clean bath houses always being a key factor in my choice to stay there and the very welcoming and friendly staff. A water main broke during the visit and staff were as transparent as they were quick to get the issue fixed with us only out of water a couple of hours. So shout out to the incredible employees they have working there!

Our stay was amazing. This was the first time that we stayed at this location. It was recommended to us by a friend. We did have a few issues, but honestly, it was caused by the low temperatures in the area. Apparently the campground had a water line break. The staff was so friendly and helpful and actually credited back one of the nights that we had paid for for all of the inconveniences.

I love the new door lock mechanism, so you don't need a key. Was very helpful with the three people we had in there. Easy check in and check out. Caught all my fish in back of the cabin and won the trout company touranment. Will be back next year!

Bed Bugs, Stayed in what was suppose to be a deluxe cabin. After the second night of stay our grandson got up the next morning with bites from bed bugs all over his body. Couple of weeks later heard from a mediator from some insurance company up north, he was rude to me and my daughter over the phone. Sarah the manager I spoke with her later and said no bugs were detected. Not ever even told sorr

Wonderful stay in the cabin this weekend. The cabin was exceptionally clean and the perfect space for me, my husband, and our 2 dogs. Amazing location close to downtown.

We had a great time. There were a couple of things with our cabin that needed some attention. There was a light in the kitchenette that didn’t work and also the lamp in the bedroom didn’t work. Other than that we had a great stay.

The cabin we stayed in 508 need some attention there were cobwebs everywhere the fireplace didn’t have lights and made awful noises when running

Really enjoyed our cabin stay. I would like to add a few comments though. One of the two burners in our cabin was broken, there was no knob. Also, no salt or pepper was in the cabin or even available for purchase, and not even a small sponge to wash the dishes. I think these are small improvements that add to the stay.

Great place to take the family. Lots of amenities and fun activities to do. The lodging is top tear.

Wonderful site and amenities, great staff!

Great place to stay! We love the cabins on the river, just far enough out of the town of Cherokee. All the staffers are super friendly and helpful!
Dec 01, 2025
cabins were comfortable but could use some better maintenance . we had issues with our heat & were supplied with space heaters quickly which really helpped but I expected the cabins to be in better shape for the price . there were a lot of shabby repairs . the people were really nice & enjoyed the stay & Thanksgiving pot luck.

Staff was very rude and not willing to accommodate check in time; we called multicable times last week and never got an actual person on the phone that could answer our questions before our arrival. The Cabin was dirty, had open soda cans on the floor. I've been staying with this KOA for 20 years and I would not recommend it to anyone. Sounds like it's under new management but its gone down hill

Our family loves this campground we visited every year for the last four years. They were so accommodating at the last moment when we couldn’t get our camper to pull and make sure we were able to secure a two bedroom cabin for our Thanksgiving week stay! We are so thankful for how flexible and helpful everybody was to make sure that our families Thanksgiving trip happened!

Overall it was a great experience. There are some smaller details that could be addressed. The refrigerator door in our cabin (238) was backwards, in that it opened towards the cabin interior rather than towards the wall. The mattresses could be more comfortable, in that maybe having memory foam (just a wish). My wife also noticed hairs in the tub. We’re definitely going to be back.

Amazing campground and staff very friendly. Only complaint is pool was over chlorinated which caused my daughter sinus to become very irritated and a neighboring camper had a teenager who thought everyone wanted to hear their music. Otherwise, great service and location. Saw many elk this trip!

We have been to several KOA's and they all are a little different so we did not know what to expect here. It was lovely, the staff were incredible and went out of their way to make it a pleasant stay. The amenities were great and the scenery couldn't have been any better. We want to make it an annual tradition now to return each year. Thank you KOA and staff for a great time.

I stayed in a deluxe cabin at the way back of the campground. I enjoyed our cabin and enjoyed this campground. It was so close to everything. I could get to the entrance of the great Smoky Mountains quickly or go into Cherokee. I would definitely stay here again.

The campground was clean, beautiful, and the cabin was very clean and well stocked. I love the camp store. It feels like a warm when it's cold where I can get coffee and other supplies.Thank you for a fun and beautiful time! I would suggest doing 2 things to make it even more perfect. Freshly launder the shower curtain and add some more hooks in the cabin to hang things on like jackets.

Staff were all very accommodating and friendly, the camp store had lots of useful and fun items, the bathrooms were clean, and my cabin was cozy. Another great KOA stay in the books! I am sure I will be staying here again.

Great place to stay for a great time fishing

Great stay

Roaches and roach feces were found in the freezer of the mini fridge. The cabin carried a heavy stinch of urine and mildew. I realize that it is camping, but don't offer an amenity that isn't an upgrade from the standard.

Everyone there is so friendly and helpful. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because the cabin needs some repairs and the hot tub wasn't functioning. We stayed in a newer cabin last time, but this one was about 20 years old and needs some updates. The cabin was very clean and staff very helpful. Next time I am going to get a newer cabin though. We will be back and hopefully the hot tub is working.

We loved our site (253). Great access to fishing. Staff was helpful, especially when our door broke at 7pm. Some staff seemed new but if they didn't know the answer they would find out. Showers in the back of the campground were only moderately clean, behind the shower doors there was dirt, an old bandaid and some other trash. The indoor pool was freezing but hot tub was good. Would come again!

Kamper kabin was very clean, it was very quiet and staff was great

Very disappointed with our unit (513). The fire place didn't work for the whole trip (we were provided with a space heater at least), some of the windows didn't have any blinds and none had curtains, and the shower was not cleaned before (had hair all in it, smeared shower gel and a used wash cloth on top of the shower rod). When asked to have more blanket and pillows this was denied.Hot tub awful

Unfortunately our cabin was below our expectations. I found a few bed bugs in our bedroom. I wasn't able to catch, smash or take a picture of them before they ran away. The bathroom was not clean , especially the toilet. The toilet smelled sour with urine odors. The toilet was absolutely disgusting. The bathroom had mold on ceiling. There is more bit not enough characters left.
Nov 11, 2025
Awesome experience, did not disappoint! We will be back!!

We love this KOA and try to stay twice a year. We had to leave one day early due to snow and inclement weather coming
Nov 10, 2025
The park is very nice and staff was was friendly and professional. We had a good stay the only thing we didn’t care for was there were many camp sites with dogs and they barked most of the time, during the week was quite and peaceful but the weekend was not as quite. But we would come stay again , overall the park is nice place to camp.

We always enjoy staying at the Cherokee KOA!

We need the pond to fish in Had a wonderful time thanks
Nov 07, 2025
The stay was very nice and peaceful being on the Raven Fork. I would like to see some easy access to Raven Fork. Would it be possible to put a gate on the adjoining decks? We did have a great stay and the front desk staff was very helpful. Zia handled my reservation.

Since it cut me off before I could type everything about our awful stay, guess someone just needs to reach out via phone to get all the details of our horrible stay.

Minus the rain, we had a great time

Thank you. We had a wonderful time.
Nov 03, 2025
We loved our stay. Everything but the bed. The bed was not what we are used and caused back problems but everything else was wonderful.
Nov 03, 2025
We love visiting every year! The curtains looked 50 years old but the cabin was clean and did not have a pet smell! There was also a large gap under the door that would make me very nervous in the summer time with snakes. You guys are so amazing at keeping the kids busy and happy! Thank you!

We loved all the fun activities for the kids. Staff was very nice! The only issue was the cabin we had looked nothing like the picture. Also didn’t have heat, there’s usually heat in the cabins. Other than that we had a great experience.

Stay was great. However, Cabin K511 fireplace fan is worn out and whistles and makes it hard to hear the TV. Fan NEEDS REPLACED. The heater in the Bathroom did not work. NEEDS REPAIRED! We enjoyed our stay even with the discomforts. Still give it 5 Star and we will be back. Love the place.

On first fishing visit to Cherokee (5/30/2026) and had little information. Asked at office and Chantelle was very helpful and shared what she could. Very easy going and helpful.
