Welcome to the Jonesborough / Cherokee NF KOA!

We are a small family friendly boutique campground located directly on the banks of the Nolichucky River where relaxation is required. Formerly Riverpark Campground, we are the new Jonesborough KOA with the same owners and a few new amenities! We look forward to welcoming you to our area where you can explore Tennessee's oldest established town and the home of the International Storytelling Center, enjoy family entertainment at Wetlands Water Park, and Bright's Zoo, take advantage of the gorgeous Cherokee National Forest with hiking galore, and relax and enjoy the Nolichucky River at your campsite. Also offering glamping experiences in our rare vintage camper or our fairy wagon or caboose rooms, come adventure with us! We are in close proximity to Erwin, Johnson City, ETSU, and a short 50 minutes to Asheville, NC. We look forward to welcoming you to this little gem.
