Cable tv was not clear at all at our location but people we were traveling with had good cable 10/22/2020

We had a very nice stay in Gatlinberg-everyone was friendly, nice amenities and pretty river walk area for strolling and walking our dog. It’s situated next to a park too. 10/22/2020

To express my opinion of the camp grounds KOA in pigeon forge: the camp grounds were very clean and maintained. People and staff were very friendly. Very conveniently located with lots of amenities... 10/22/2020

Very Good 10/22/2020

Very Comfortable. Helpful and Friendly staff. I would recommend it to anyone. We have two reservations already for 2021. 10/21/2020

Very pleased with our stay----clean and tidy facility---quiet and friendly atmosphere---only glitch was the concierge, he was no help whatsoever, just a guy taking up space, I am 70 and more prone to help than he was. 10/21/2020

So much to do without leaving the KOA - playground, both dog parks, pool and hot tub, yard games. Super close to Dollywood. Site was clean. Only complaint was our cabin faced a construction site, so we were awakened by 6am each day as the trucks started moving... 10/21/2020

We had a new campsite, which had a new large concrete pad with a built in fire pit. it also had a table and chairs instead of a picnic table which we liked. A beautiful view of the river in front of us. very clean. it was very relaxing to sit outside... 10/21/2020

Been there numerous times. Most of the time it's great. Just didnt quite get the right site this time. Very busy in a corner with tons if noise. camper too close next to us and had a kid running back and forth sounded like a motel instead of another camper somewhere. 10/21/2020

We have pulled our camper in the past but was coming to TN for a "quick trip" and opted to stay in a Deluxe Cabin! The cabin we bunked in was amazing and perfect for our family! This KOA is always a GOOD TIME!! 10/21/2020

This is our favorite place to stay in the area. It’s always clean and well maintained. The campground is very family friendly and relaxed. The camp store has everything you need while camping and the staff are always great. Thanks for providing a great place to camp. 10/21/2020

Had a great time. Weather was good loved the lazy river and pool. Lots to do to keep the kids having fun. 10/21/2020

Loved the wash area, cleanliness, & friendly personnel; however, yipping dogs drove me CRAZY! Could you PLEASE state somewhere in your rules that owners need to control their animals’ barking or put them INSIDE their RV?!? 10/21/2020

Super stay! Great amenities. The pool was amazing as it was warm enough that you actually wanted to be in it in mid October. It's close enough to major attractions in Pigeon Forge to be convenient but also far enough away to be quiet and a wooded area fill... 10/21/2020

Enjoyed our two nights there. Tried to extend but the park was full so we were unable to extend but would definitely stay at this KOA if we came to the area again. You have a lot of nice amenities and we enjoyed our time there 10/21/2020
