This KOA was the nicest campground we’ve stayed at! The staff was fantastic and the campground was VERY clean. I have 3 kids and they LOVED the playground! It is a very cool playground with lots to do for all ages. The bistro pizza was great! The store has everything plus a ton of decorations, clothing, camping gear and much more. The paths between sites were great! 1000% we will be back!!

This KOA was our go to campground until I had an injury and it held us back for a few years. When we went back this time the campground had been expanded and upgraded. I would have given a five star before the improvements, and was pleasantly surprised. They have added new cabins and if you want a great place to camp and or just get away, I would definitely stay here

The staff was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The grounds were very clean. We loved the layout! Dog bag stations everywhere letting us know our pet was welcome but stay clean. The bathrooms and laundry rooms were so clean you would think you were the first to use it that day.

Such a friendly staff!! The campground itself is beautiful. Bathrooms are all private and very clean. I’m so so happy I got the opportunity to book this place for a month while exploring the Smoky Mountain NP! They also will text you with different hot breakfast and lunch foods they’re cooking up for the day which is so nice if you wanted a break from cooking. I can’t recommend this place en

Easily one of the top KOAs we had stayed at in our 17 years of family camping. The staff is amazing and their customer service is second to none. We have already booked our next trip back.

My wife and I have visited several KOA holidays in the East and South. Gatlinburg East is likely the best one we've had the pleasure of visiting yet. The staff seems like they want to be rather than HAVE to be there. If you're going to do something, be good at it or don't do it. Thanks to everyone.

Friendly service, clean, quiet campground, large spaces and attentive staff. Close enough to the attractions to commute easily but out enough to avoid the issues.

This is an excellent campground!!! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is secluded but safe, it butts up right next to the national park. The amenities were excellent, and there was some live Christmas music on the weekend!!

We have traveled from California through Illinois. We’re diverted to Kentucky and came to Tennessee. We are now going back to California. We have been to many campgrounds, and quite a few KOA‘s, but by far this campground is superior to all. The grounds are well-kept, great investments in the property, and most importantly, the personnel are fabulous. We are Howard & Katherine Bailey

Sites are large. Camp is quiet. Very well maintained and the staff is awesome! We loved it and will definitely be our home base for trips to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge!

Ein schöner Platz im Wald mit geräumigen Stellplätzen. Das Personal war sehr zuvorkommend und hilfreich, der Müll wird gleich am Platz abgeholt, so war die Anlage wunderschön sauber. Man gab sich nicht nur außen Mühe, auch die sanitären Anlagen waren einladend. Ein ruhiger Platz zum ausspannen.

This campground is fabulous. All the staff were so friendly and go above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect. I loved the day by day text to keep you informed of all the activities going on at the campground. The grounds were clean and the bathrooms were immaculate. We will definitely be camping here again.

Third time staying at this campground. The grounds are very clean and staff are very friendly. They always call to check and see how your travels are going on day of arrival to make sure everything is going smooth. They welcome you and send text updates for what is happening that day around the campground. We will be back again next fall!

Everything about our stay was awesome!! The staff were very kind and always greeted you with a smile. All members of the staff went out of their way to help and it was genuine. The campsites were well maintained and the whole camp site was nice and clean. We will definitely be back and KOA should have all their campsites ran like Gatlinburg East. I can’t say enough. Thanks again for a great stay

Absolutely one of our very favorite campgrounds! The people are awesome and so helpful. We will be back again and again! The campground is very clean and well maintained. Close enough to attractions in the area but far enough away to feel you are in the mountains! Love this place! Kudos to Jenni for being so nice and helpful during October’s hurricane mess!

We've stayed at this campground once before and loved it. I called today to check availability for another stay and then called back to book the reservation. I spoke with Chris and Charlie and they were both very knowledgeable and helpful. Looking forward to our next visit in October.

This was our first time staying at a KOA and it did not disappoint. We were supposed to stay on Tent Site 4 and when we got there we asked if we could switch and stayed at tent Site 02. As there was immediate parking right off the campsite rather than walking a longer path to Tent Site 4. The bear box provided was big enough for all of our stuff. We must have timed our vacation just right as the campground wasn't completely full - which was super nice! We stayed from Saturday to Wednesday. Saturday night we noticed you could hear a wedding across the mountain, so we asked what time they typically go to and he wasn't sure. Looked up the venue and weddings typically go to 10 o'clock at night but could go longer if they purchased additional hours - so just an FYI. Luckily the wedding was done at 10 as it was pretty loud. As everything echoes! It is on a busy highway to which people drive by with loud vehicles at all times of the night. The campground was very well maintained. The pool and park were a huge hit for our kids! The game room was also fun! The foosball table could be replaced as it was falling apart. They have food on-site that you can order, ice, firewood $10 and they will deliver to your site. To no fault of KOA there are no lifeguards and people just let their kids go to the pool by themselves. The bathrooms are individual rooms with a shower and toilet -wish there were a little bigger ones as they were a little tight with trying to shower kids and myself. The bathrooms also looked like black mold was on the ceiling. Otherwise they were clean except some where there were some disrespectful campers and not cleaning up after themselves(beard shavings so hair was literally all over the sink) to which no fault to KOA. Everyone abided by the quiet hours which was a relief! The last night was our worst night where we had some disrespectful campers - one who let their dog sit out of their camper and just bark till 10:45-11 (again no fault to KOA) . Then apparently KOA lets people book last minute, we had a neighbor pull in around 11:15 set up camp and stay up talking till 12:30. We will be staying at a KOA again, thank you for having us!
