Came in for a soccer tournament in Gatlinburg. Nice place and close to the fields with very little of the traffic of staying in Gatlinburg.

A lovely park and friendly staff

The campground was very clean and welcoming. We loved our shaded patio site with the furniture and raised fire pit. The kids loved trick-or-treating around the campground, the huge playground, and the live music. The only downside is that it is a little bit of a drive from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, so plan accordingly if you have reservations or tickets for dinner shows.

Amazing campground. Very well kept, friendly helpful staff, and plenty of activities for you, your family, and your fur babies. Highly recommend!!

Nice campground, clean. Some of the roads were a bit tight with a large rig on some of the turns to get up and down aisles. Flies were horrible while we were there but I suspect there isn't much that can be done about that, just the time of the season. Patio was nice and spacious and the landscaping was tasteful to give a little bit of a feel of privacy. Overall good campground.

Stayed 5 days very nice campground decorated for Halloween. Didn’t use bathhouse or laundry but were very handy to our site. Lots of shade and level pull through spot.

The staff are incredibly helpful. It's obvious they take pride in the appearance of the property. The sites are generous and the location is convenient to anything around Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge

Stayed 7 nights. It’s 25 minutes from Gatlinburg, which is a good thing. Gatlinburg is crazy busy with vehicles and people. The KOA offers a nice, peaceful location.

Staff were polite and friendly, bathhouse and facilities were very clean. Staff gave updates on recent bear activity in the area. Many campers had holiday decorations so the entire campground had a very festive atmosphere. Quiet times were just that…quiet! We stayed in an RV. This place is our new “go-to”. Just a short drive to Gatlinburg for those seeking tourist activities. I highly rec

We came in late and had a VERY HARD time getting into our site because other campers were parked on the road. Sites were also VERY SMALL. On a good note staff was very friendly. We had a problem with the water hookup and called the after hours number. The guy came to fix but brought no tools. Gave him ours and he still couldn't fix it so had us use another sites water hookup.

Our 4th stay and this place keeps getting better. Had a huge black bear visit us while sitting at our camp fire late Friday. Scarry but fun to talk about.
Oct 16, 2025
Wonderful stay. Quiet shaded spot. Will stay again.
Oct 16, 2025
The only downside is we were told we wouldn’t fit in the site reserved so we moved into a pull through site and was charged more then double the amount we reserved for and they wouldn’t do anything about it! That part was very disappointing!

Great service and staff went above and beyond to see that our needs were met. We will be back. Best KOA we have been. Thank you
Oct 15, 2025
Very nice campground . Staff was fantastic. The only issue I had was the cost we were charged 167 for Friday and Saturday and then $128 for Sunday and Monday. Thought that was a little excessive I understand there is a premium for the weekend but $167 is just too much for a campsite .

KOA amenities very nice, staff very friendly and helpful. Marco went out of his way to make our stay pleasurable! A lot of planned activities to participate in if you want. We were in site 116, which was wonderful with big concrete patio but road noise is noticeable. Overall great stay!

We arrived late and it was dark. Fellow campers came out to help us get to our spot. Shout out to Mike with the campground. He really went out of his way to get us parked. The staff was all really nice and helpful. Plus it's probably one of the most beautiful campgrounds we've ever been to. And only 30 minutes from downtown Gatlinburg. Would definitely stay again!

1st time here and it was an amazing time. We called told them be getting in late and latter texted them with an about time be there, staff was waiting for us and told us everything we needed. Wife an I talked to some guest in cabins and they loved them, we were considering getting on of them to see lights in winter. Place is a hidden gem definitely coming back!

The staff are amazing. So friendly and helpful. Showers/ bathrooms super clean, campsites very nice. Family oriented, but perfect for couples as well. We enjoyed our stay and will be promoting KOA Gatlinburg/ East!

Clean and friendly staff. There was a mixup on the reservations and the gal at the desk and gentleman taking us to our site were very helpful and did what they could to make it right. Appreciated the extra effort during a frustrating moment.

Beautiful camp grounds that are extremely clean. They have a dog park too which was a huge plus for us. They had plenty of events and activities going on each day too. Everyone was extremely helpful and friendly that worked there.

Very friendly staff and our site was perfect. Lots of room! We were on site #124 ( spacious sites). I'd stay here again and definitely recommend.

Our site was in the back corner of the property. It was so peaceful. We were able to hike and bike near by. The employees were friendly and helpful. The property was well maintained. I used the laundry facility. The way to exit was not marked well.

Clean , organized, charming campground, close to gatlinburg if you want to have the party , but far away enough to enjoy the nature and silence the Smokie Mountains have to offer
Oct 11, 2025
Check in was a breeze, staff was very friendly and accommodating. The campgrounds were nice with trees, very clean restrooms and showers. Its a very dog friendly park. Play are for pets, separate play area for little ones and a rec room with games for the older kids. Would definitely go back.

We loved our stay at Gatlinburg/ East Smoky Mountain KOA. The staff were great, we will definitely be back.
Oct 07, 2025
It was great. We enjoyed every part of the campgrounds. Especially the trails behind the grounds. The acorns dropping on the camper not so much. We'll be back.
Oct 07, 2025
Great place to stay. Nice sized sites, clean facilities and grounds and super friendly staff. I would definitely recommend to others and stay myself when in the area.

By far our favorite KOA from tennessee to Illinois. Every year we come back here there are so many great upgrades. Our whole family adores this place.

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!
