Friendly KOA with useful amenities and clean facilities. It is a bit far from the National Park so there was a fair bit of driving to get there.

This is our second time back at this KOA. The first time was Memorial Day weekend this week was for July weekend. They always have plenty of opportunities for the kids to do. I love their staff down one of the best staff friendly willing to help no matter the task manager Roxanne will do anything you ask of her. Fran always greeted us with a smile. If you want a beautiful park, stay here.

Campground is very nice & workers are friendly. Would definitely stay again! Only complaint is that sites 115 & 114 are not actually buddy sites. You can pull into 114 from either direction because it has hookups on both sides. It could actually be buddy site with 113 but not 115.

The campsite was great and the staff were very friendly and helpful! The pool however is too small for such a large campground and all week, there were children left there unattended by adults. Children jumping and diving in right beside you in all depts. No staff around to monitor. We couldn't even enjoy the water.

This campground is the best! My kids love coming and it’s so welcoming for all! My special needs adult daughter is always treated amazing. The staff here is top notch and they are the kindest people on the planet!

Our whole family met here and stayed in 3 cabins and 2 campsites. This is a really nice place. We felt like the facilities were a little nicer and cleaner than last year. We also thought last years employees were better and more friendly. Half the people this year were great but half were just ok. Still a great visit but your people can make the experience that much better.

Always love staying at the Gatlinburg East KOA. The campground has great sites, pool/play area, bath house and staff. We’ll be back next year.

We had a wonderful stay. Great location away from the touristy areas but also close enough to the National Park. We loved our stay. Our kids loved the pool and playground. Bathrooms and showers were extremely clean.

Set in a forest environment with very well thought out sites for a unique camping experience. One of the best KOA campgrounds we have been to. The staff and employees were top notch. Great place for children and traveling adults as well.

Staff were amazing. Campground was beautiful & good location to park. For long rigs, some suggestions. Some sites have leveling challenges, so watch which sites you select. Also, there is a tree on site 128 that is an obstacle to egressing the site. Watch how you position your rig. I would certainly come back but would avoid site 128. Otherwise, thanks to the KOA staff for a wonderful visit.

Stayed overnight on way home. Was met by a gentleman on a golf cart who assisted us to our sites. Lady in the office/store was super friendly. Talked about the live axolotl!! Sites were level, clean, easily accessible pull through. Will definitely come back!

We loved staying there. The only issue is the WiFi is too weak and barely ran our tv. (Hubby has to have his TV) A better WiFi would make it perfect.

Absolutely LOVED this campground and staff! It was quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. Staff were kind and super helpful. Bathrooms and facilities were clean and well maintained. Love that each shower is in a full bathroom and separate from other showers. Borders the park and has great hiking options. Close enough to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge to get there easily but out of the chaos. Loved it!

We love Gatlinburg East KOA! And it's the family that manages this location that makes it so special. From the s'more bar on Memorial Day weekend, to the details and cleanliness of the kid's play area (that rubber flooring is a game changer for safety), to the quiet, wooded setting that is simply hard to find in RV parks when visiting the area - we love it all, and we come back again and again.

Beautiful location! Cabin was clean and spacious for our family. Every employee we spoke to was super friendly. We would definitely visit again.

The staff was awesome, the only reason wasnt a 5 star or 10 out of 10 was because the site showed amenities that were not available.

We love coming there. Staff is very friendly. The only thing I would suggest is separating pet friendly sites from non pet friendly and stop allowing pit bull dog breeds. Or any that acts aggressive

I loved the environment of this KOA! Very clean, quiet, and peaceful. The staff was eager to provide assistance to make our stay pleasant. I would absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend to others. The only downside was the WiFi. I could only connect our TV’s to 2G and it buffered a lot. In all fairness I didn’t mention to staff as it probably couldn’t be helped in its lo

Nice campgrounds and nice sites. But please paint the speed bump at entrance Yellow! Did not see it when I turned in. Very Rough Bump!!!

We enjoyed our stay. I wish we had more time at the campground. The campground was beautiful and clean. The boys loved the game room and ice cream!

The restroom and showers were terrible dirty, staff lied and was rude! Did nothing when I asked them if they cleaned them and garbage everywhere!, They kept several showers locked up and had to constantly wait to use one. I will not recommend or ever comeback!

We absolutely loved staying at this KOA. We had a family reunion with 28 people. Honestly the only complaint we heard at all was the WiFi is not very good. Other than that it was really nice. People were very friendly and helpful. Thank you for the great week.

Bathrooms and laundry are clean and accessible. Campground is overall clean. The menus and especially the ice cream is fabulous! We had breakfast delivered one day. The pool and playground are nice as well.

What a great place. Out from the hustle and bustle of Gatlinburg and only a 30 minute drive to town. The KOA is wooded with lots of tall trees. Gravel campsite with nice fire pit units. Very well maintained. Friendly staff. Camp store with food and seating outside under cover. Great playground for the kids and great pool area. We are 100% satisfied with our stay. Mike and Linda Shrout.

We had our annual family reunion there. It was great. RV sites were large, cabins were clean and comfortable. We plan to return next year.

Beautiful resort! Cabin was spacious, had a huge deck and a separate fire pit and seating area. Spotlessly clean and fully stocked with all the towels and linens we needed. Quiet and peaceful- will definitely stay again!!! We love all the KOA resorts!!!

The staff was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Their cheerful attitudes were appreciated! The campground was very clean, well maintained, and peaceful. Great food in the Bistro and fairly priced. The grandkids loved the pool and playground. We look forward to returning!

No surprises, just what I like. Everything was clean and in good working order. Every staff member was very friendly, efficient and welcoming. I’ll be back. This was the perfect place for a shake-down cruise in a new camper.

Wow! Your park is breathtaking! Pride in ownership is obvious. Absolutely beautiful grounds, highly recommend. The camp hosts we're extremely accommodating and gracious as well. We will definitely be back next year!! Thank you, little things make a big difference - you deserve ten stars!

Wonderful campground. Our site was beautiful. Well maintained. Mature trees. Great service and amenities. They have a very nice restaurant that'll deliver to your site. Everyone was so friendly. We will definitely be back. Less than 30 minutes to Gatlinburg if you want that experience as well.

Nice clean bathrooms. A bit far from Sugarland visitor center and an hour and a half from Cades Cove. Nice level sites.
