Campground Reviews

A very well maintained campground!!! The sites are large and lots of large trees to give you the feel of being out in the woods camping. The staff are very accommodating, friendly and fun. We will definitely stay at this KOA again!!

This is one of Our favorite KOA’s. A beautiful mature Campground along with an awesome Staff. It is far enough away from Gatlinburg to get away from the hustle and bustle. The grounds are kept very clean. Clean showers and laundry. And there is a Dollar General within a mile. I highly recommend!

Campground itself is wonderful. Well laid out, quiet, clean, spacious sites. Common facilities and store were clean and well stocked. The staff was stand-out! Someone is always on a cart, picking up trash, doing routine maintenance, or just being there - answering questions or just seeing how things are going. Special thanks to Jake for this reservation and information towards our next one here!

The staff at the KOA were great,especially Chris who was helpful in relocating our site when we arrived ,and also gave us useful info regarding sight seeing and also road directions. We would like the site to have more level sites,and be more big rig friendly,removing trees and large rocks at turns and intersections. There was ample room between sites,and the facilities were always clean.

very nice, quiet campground out of the hustle/bustle areas, but close enough to partake if you chose.

Tried to use showers around 9:30 PM - all were locked - wondering why??? Also, that patch of "orange" "dirt" behind the picnic area is awful when it's wet, clings to your shoes like glue, maybe plant some grass there instead.

Pleasantly surprised! That is the most I can say I was pleasantly surprised at the KOA campground. The hosts were very polite very helpful and seemed to love their job. I went to my cabin and it looks brand new. It’s clean. It’s very very beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I have recommended it to four of my friends already. I will be back.

We stayed at Gatlinburg East from 3-24 through 3-28 and found this visit to be exactly what I expected; FANTASTIC! This is one of our favorite campgrounds to stay at. Chris and his crew are among the nicest hosts and workers you will ever find. This is our third time staying at this campground and I think it just keeps getting better and better. Thank you Chris and crew for a wonderful stay!!

This campground was amazing, so well laid out and large camping areas with all of the nice chairs and tables and fire pits. The landscaping of the campground was beautiful. The people were incredibly friendly.

If you’re rolling through the Smokies in a rig and debating where to land—stop overthinking it. Gatlinburg East KOA Holiday is the kind of campground that reminds you why you chose this lifestyle in the first place. From the second we pulled in, everything just worked. Easy access, level sites, clean! Jake absolutely made our stay. The guy didn’t just “do his job”—he owned the experie

Well run, with very good wifi and cable, personal service, and immaculately clean facilities. Near Cosby and Greenbriar areas of GSMNP.

Gorgeous campground! Spacious, clean, well appointed sites right at the base of the Great Smoky Mountains. Amazing bathhouse and laundry. I can't say enough good things about the staff - they made our stay even more delightful than the surroundings - the nicest people we have ever met and they will be a big part of the memories we made at their campground.

There were a lot of ants, a lot. Also the bed sheets for the pull out couch were shoved underneath the couch itself and were very dirty. The salt water pool was amazing and everyone was incredibly nice! We loved it there.

Excellent staff and beautiful areas to stay. Second time visiting this location and it is our local getaway. Sites are big enough to spread out and not feel like you are on top of each other. We highly recommend this location.

Great campground, and friendly and helpful staff. Everything was very clean and the snack bar food and ice cream were delicious. We stayed in early April, so the campground was pretty quiet. Minor complaint- not all bathrooms had towel hooks and/or bench seats which would have been helpful. Also, bathrooms, while clean could have used a sweeping during the day. Would definitely stay again.

Easy in, easy out. Staff was great!

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.
