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.

Very nice campground would have been perfect if not for our camp site being so small. People were very nice the store was great and campground was well maintained.

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.

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.

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.

We had a wonderful time!! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Jeremy helped us numerous times since it was our first time out with our rv. A young couple working at the store ga c e us great advice. The campground and amenities can't be beat. We love that it is near a Dollar General and Gatlinburg. We plan to come back in the fall.

My family stayed the whole weekend of Memorial Day and the kids loved everything about this location. The staff were wonderful very nice and an accommodating. Wonderful managers that love working for this location and they took pride in it. All their events were fun for kids and adults. The food in the kitchen was amazing especially the butter beer. Can’t wait to come back for 4th of july weeken

It's not like most KOAs close to the hwy. 25 minutes from I40. BUT, it's the best KOA or for that matter, ANY campground we've visited! All of the staff are wonderful. There are no "bad" sites. Lots of shade. Great activities for all ages. Large PawPen. Great playground and pool. On site kitchen with good food. 20 minutes to Gatlinburg, but you won't want to leave the campground it's so good!

BEAUTIFUL CAMPGROUND, NICE SITES, VERY FRIENDLY STAFF. I WOULD RECOMMEND ADDING THE FENCE ON THE SIDE FACING THE ROAD. THAT SEEMED VERY ODD TO HAVE THAT OPEN WITHIN FEET OF THE ENTRANCE ROAD, AND SOMETHING SIMPLE FOR THE LITTLE CAMPERS TO CLIMB ON WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION. THE EQUIPMENT WAS VERY NICE, BUT TOO BIG FOR THE SMALLEST CAMPERS THERE.

We enjoyed the campground and the employees. Wish the sites had a bit more grass. But, they were plenty big and level. It was also a bit further out from Gatlinburg (25 minutes) and Pigeon Forge (45 minutes) than we had hoped.

We had a great experience as far as the staff, services and accommodations, and the campsite itself. I will mention that a neighbor of ours had a dog tied to a tree that barked and whined for the good majority of the night and the next morning. Poor reflection of the visitor, not the place itself.
