Campground Reviews

The add said they had cable tv but they didn't. The smell was bad. There were trucks emptying dumpsters with backup alerts going off and loud banging at 3 in the morning.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We're sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your stay. Not sure where you saw we have cable because our property hasn't had cable in a long time. Our trash company does not pick up at 3 am either. We wish you safe travels.

Site was all gravel, no fire ring and the wifi kept cutting out.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We're sorry that you didn't enjoy your stay with us. We just completed a wifi upgrade just a few days after your stay. We now have fiber internet throughout our park. We have also just placed new fire rings at all of our sites. We hope you will give us another chance.

Nice quiet campground. The staff was nice and the campground was clean
Jul 15, 2024
The campground is older but recently acquired by new management. They are working on making a lot of improvements. The stay was fine and we had no problems. It's situated off the interstate so convenient for a place to stop for the night or spend a few days as it's not far from many Smoky Mountain attractions. It was clean and everyone was friendly.

When we arrived, we were informed that the bathroom and shower facilities connected to the main building were out of service. The campground brought in a portable shower pod to cover that. The other bathroom/shower house had only 2 of 4 units in working order. While there, it appeared that management was working diligently on the plumbing issues. Good luck with the renovations.

Very low water pressure at site and in bathhouse, no cable tv as stated on web site and on campground map, very slow internet,

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We have resolved the water pressure issues to our sites. Unfortunately, we had. Pretty large underground leak. Our website does not state that we have cable simply because it is not an amenity we offer. Our next project will be to upgrade to fiber internet for our wifi. That is coming very soon!

It was ok but very upsetting because there was no activity for the kids to do besides the pool and little play ground. And u have to leave the camp ground to do things and not much of a store.
Jul 08, 2024
This is the most over priced koa I've ever stayed at. The bathrooms were dirty, showers were peeling with mold. Not to mention the whole camp ground smelled like sewer .
Jul 07, 2024
Checked in late left early. Lots very unleve, gravel. We paid less in Florida Keys for concrete pad and patio. Bath house needed attention while a person was pulling weeds from flower bed. Pool looked nice, we did not use.
Jul 05, 2024
Bathrooms need upgrades. Staff was great!
Jul 04, 2024
sites are not level, water hookup over 25 ft., been camping all over the us and Canada for over 40 years and this have to be rates the worse, might by pass on koa sites from now on.

Excellent staff
Jul 03, 2024
Your new SO called management are POS. The NEW ON SITE Manager Willis is a nasty disrespectful individual who should NOT be working with the public under any situation. I honestly hope this place goes under and with him working for you it's just a matter of time
Jul 02, 2024
Sites were level on gravel. Water pressure good. Bathrooms were ok. They need some updating Host was wonderful and Other workers were very friendly. Laundry facilities were nice.
Jul 02, 2024
Our site was littered with cigarette butts, No sewer cap on the dump pipe, pool was dirty and in badly needed repair. Office closed at 6pm . So if you wanted wood or ice . Pool also closed early so after they finely did clean the pool you had a short window if you wanted to go after dinner.

We have stayed here a handful of times, but this year trees were overgrown into sites, the gravel pads were not well maintained.

We are sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your stay. We are under new management as of last month and we are working to make major changes to the property. Gravel and tree maintenance are very high on our list of priorities. We hope you will come see us again after we complete the updates. Safe trave

Great place, if I’m in the area again I will stop in for another night
Jun 29, 2024
Site was a little short and slanted. Person who checked us in went above and beyond. He had only been working there a week.

Park employees were super friendly and helpful. We asked to have a couple of tree branches cut that would have Scratched our rig when leaving and they got right on it. One suggestion is they check trees in the park at least once a month and make sure they are cut back so they are high enough and wide enough to accommodate 5th wheels and motor homes.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback. We are in the process of having all of our trees trimmed. We understand the importance of having those limbs out of the way of our guests’ coaches. Glad our team was able to take care of the ones that were an issue for you.

Very good and in the shade but no cable at this time sure it will be soon though

This location has gone down considerably since last visit. Facilities are rapidly declining. Poison ivy EVERYWHERE

The site was clean. We arrived late and picked up our site packet, but the packet didn't include info on accessing wi-fi. The Men's bathroom shower stall was in poor condition. Specifically, the tile on the floor is breaking away and is a hazard to anyone not wearing sandals.

I’d heard good reports of KOAs—never have stayed at one—and was very happy to make a last-minute reservation while traveling from Texas to North Carolina. The receptionist could not have been nicer. However, the site was way overpriced compared to everywhere else I stayed. That I had electricity was great; the park itself did not meet expectations. I’ll stick with state parks from now on.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your stay with us. We are under new management and have many improvements planned over the coming months. We hope that you will come back and check us out again once we complete these projects. We don’t think you will disappointed again. Safe travel.

We absolutely enjoyed our weekend at the KOA! So peaceful and amazing! We will definitely be back!

Nice and clean

Easy access off the highway. Clean and beautiful country setting peaceful stay.

We asked for a sight for 43 foot motorhome with a toe behind. We don’t mind unhooking if necessary. The site we were given was on a steep slope. We tried to level up the motorhome, but if your front wheels are off the ground 6 inches too much of a slope And doing so our bedroom slide is now stuck and has that repaired so we left without staying . Will not go back to this KOA

Unlevel site of gravel. This is an emergency only campground. Old and not well maintained.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your stay. Rest assured we are going to be making major improvements to this campground. We are under new management and have big plans to make this the gem it can be we hope you will give us another chance in the future.
Jun 06, 2024
It will be a great place once the improvements are completed. However, the staff were so very nice and helpful. The place was quiet and restful. We stayed an extra day to enjoy the quiet. Keep up with the improvements.

Staff not friendly. No trash pickup. We stayed several years ago, and were excited to come back. We found a very different campground on our return trip.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We appreciate your feedback. We are under new management and this is not how we want our guests to feel. We will be overhauling the property over the next few months. We hope you will give us another chance and you can see all the positive changes.

It was only for one night. The showers were not working in the men's rest room, and it was not as clean as most of the other KOA's we stay at. Picnic tables were in bad need of repair, couldn't really us the one at our site. All in all, it was ok for a 1 night pull in and out, but would not want to stay there to visit the area. It's definitely not up yo par with other KOA's we stay at.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We can understand your frustration. We are under new management and will be upgrading our showers/restrooms. We are also replacing all picnic tables and fire rings in our short term sites. We hope that you will come back and see the improvements we are making. We are hoping to exceed KOA standards.
May 27, 2024
This KOA and its sites are very difficult to get in and out of. Only 2 of 6 bathroom stalls were operable and those 2 were so dirty that they couldn’t be used. Not a single shower stall was operational in either of the two bathhouses. Garbage dumpsters were padlocked so we couldn’t even throw away our trash. Staff was friendly but park needs a LOT of attention. Will not be staying here again.

Restrooms were filthy!! Showers didn’t work in the main male/female restrooms. 2 toilets didn’t work in the mains female restrooms. The customer service was nice, but the common areas were just awful!

Nice campground, little hard to find at night, campsites were nice and easy to get to, would stop again
May 21, 2024
Not worthy of the KOA prices. Old, run-down park in a run-down area. Only two bath houses for the entire park. Do yourself a favor and book closer to Pigeon Forge. We passed several parks that at least would justify the higher prices.
May 19, 2024
We stayed at one of the tent sites. We had an enjoyable stay. I would stay again.

Pretty shabby. This was the most expensive KOA I stayed in, but mostly it was an ugly field with some old gravel spots. NOT a family destination. Some reinvestment is desperately needed...

The only thing that could be better would be level sites.

John and Sherry were absolutely amazing hosts! We could not have picked a better location to camp out a few days while in town looking at land. Amazing people, and just an outstanding operation they run here. 10/10 will absolutely be back!
