One of my favorite campgrounds 4/6/2021

It was a wonderful stay. The weather was very cold, yet the staff did a great job of keeping the Lazy River warm for everyone's enjoyment. We stayed in site 204 and it was excellent. We look forward to our next visit there May 13-16, 2021. Robbie Leach 4/6/2021

We enjoyed our stay and our children enjoyed the play area! 4/6/2021

Staff were great and accommodated our needs. This KOA layout is very cramped. When everyone has at least one truck parked along the edge of the road, it becomes scary trying to pull your RV out. 4/6/2021

Alway enjoy staying in DC1 to watch the river and ducks and geese. However with all the construction and changes in Patriot Park the last visit was not quite as enjoyable. We still think you have a great staff and a very well kept campground. 4/6/2021

all positives except 2, this years weather and trying to turn left out of the property onto Everything great except 2 things and one not your fault- the crummy weather. The other is the difficulty turning left off the property onto Veterans Blvd. The grounds... 4/6/2021

Thr lazy river/pool area was very nice. The spot we were in just had improvements made. Great campground. Just wish the neighbors would have observed quiet time because when they were still blasting music at 2am it was a little annoying. 4/6/2021

Great Place, Well maintained ... Staff was welcoming... 4/6/2021

Great stay. Only problem is they should change some of their toilets to high rise handicap one. Will stay again even if the do not. 4/6/2021

Staff was very friendly and helpful ! Excellent amenities as well . We enjoyed our stay at the deluxe cabin . 4/6/2021

We rented a deluxe cabin Easter weekend and it was a great experience. The staff was friendly. The campground and cabin were very clean. We will stay there again when we are in Pigeon Forge! 4/6/2021

Stayed in DC8, good access. The layout is different in that another kabin shares the access ramp, but otherwise separate. Like the backlit kabin identifier. The deck/patio could use a covered section, the time we stayed it rained all afternoon and night... 4/5/2021

We loved how much there was to do at the campground. The heated pool was the highlight of the trip for our 5 year old! 4/5/2021

We enjoyed our stay. We will come back for sure. The spot we were in was very nice, however, it was a little tight maneuvering a 43ft camper in and out of, but we got it taken care of :) 4/5/2021

We were very pleased with our stay at your campground! It was very clean, orderly and the restrooms and showers were very nice and clean. It was great to see all the children on their bikes and scooters and in the playground having fun with family... 4/5/2021
