Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg KOA gets a 5 Star Rating from us. Even though this is a huge campground it is very clean, showers and restrooms very clean and all operational. The campground is adjacent to Patriot Park which has a walking/running track...very well kept... 11/11/2019

We just love this KOA!! Excited to see the pool is heated and still open!! 11/11/2019

Enjoyed the time there. Was a little cooler than usual but that isn't your fault. 11/11/2019

Very good I Will go back it very nice campground 11/10/2019

Park is not very big rig friendly in the old part. Our 5th wheel took up most of the back in site and we were parked almost on the narrow road. Site was very wet after raining for a couple of hours and very muddy the next day. It seemed a little pricey for it being November... 11/10/2019

Awesome. We had a blast. Nice location to pretty much go anywhere. 11/9/2019

Is it possible to install a larger mirror in the men’s back wall shower area connected to your check in area. Tall men can’t see when shaving and you have to bin over to see the mirror below the window. Thank you 11/9/2019

Central location. Clean bathroom and showers. No issues. 11/8/2019

The lot was great but for money we paid, the traffic noise was a bit much. Maybe hedges along the fence line would lessen the noise. Seems to be the same comment I heard from other campers. Will stay there again but in a different lot. 11/8/2019

Campgrounds hosts were very helpful recommending local spots to visit especially Laurie and Bill. 11/8/2019

Wonderful facilities. Family friendly. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. 11/8/2019
