Sweetwater, Tennessee Campground | Sweetwater / I-75 / Exit 62 KOA Holiday

Looking for the perfect spot to blend exciting amenities and the beauty of nature? There is no better place to relax than the Sweetwater KOA!

The beauty and quiet setting of this KOA Campground makes it a favorite with overnight campers, as well as families enjoying an extended vacation or weekend getaway. Our sites are Big Rig friendly and our cabins make your stay feel a little more like home. We recently added some new amenities that everyone can enjoy. Challenge your family and friends to a game of Water Wars or Corn Hole, pan for gems in our new Gem Mine (Spring 2021), bounce on our updated jumping pad, or spend some time relaxing at our catch and release pond which is fully stocked with bass, blue gill and catfish. Our camp store features a variety of things to fill your needs.

While you are staying with us, take some time to enjoy and experience all that the surrounding area has to offer. Visit the Lost Sea that offers a unique cave experience, take a tour at Mayfield Dairy Farms or Sweetwater Valley Cheese Farm and go shopping at Sweetwater's Antique District. If you'd rather take in the scenery, take a drive through the Cherokee National Forest or down the Cherohala Skyway. You can immerse yourself in nature with a short walk down one of our nature trails, go boating on a nearby lake or by bird watching. Our campground provides the perfect base camp for a day trip to the Great Smoky Mountains, Dollywood and many other fantastic attractions.

This is the quietest KOA we have ever stayed at. It was so peaceful. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate any requests. We will return. 6/17/2021

One of my favorite KOAs and We’ve stayed at a few:) Really clean and well organized. The grounds are groomed and the bathrooms are off the chart good. But most important are the people and they deserve recognition for the jobs they do... 6/17/2021

We had a very nice stay. Loved the pizzas and gift shop. Our deluxe site was perfect for us. The campground was so clean and well maintained and the staff was super friendly. My only complaint is that we didn't plan to stay longer! 6/15/2021

Happy friendly and very helpful hosts Clean facility 6/15/2021

Terrific smaller KOA with nice features. Although we were only in and out one night each coming and going to the beach, it was nice to have full hookups on flatter sites (didn't even have to unhook from truck at deluxe patio site). 6 y.o. liked the jump pillow/pad... 6/14/2021

Excellent weekend. Clean, peaceful family oriented campground. Great staff, accommodations and activities for the grandchildren. 6/14/2021

We love this campground! All the staff member's are friendly and helpful. This was our second trip and will be back again next year. It's a great location to do day trips to so many places or just to relax by the pool or make new friends with other campers... 6/14/2021

Great campground. Lots of things to do for kids. Outstanding staff. A man named Dave saw that my water heater was leaking and used some of his own thread tape (I think?) to stop the leak. I will be back! 6/14/2021

We had mechanical issues with our camper on the way in and had to leave it to be repaired. We were meeting up with several other families and KOA was very accommodating getting us into a cabin since we did not have our camper... 6/14/2021

Enjoy the beauty of this museum which is nestled in the majestic Great Smoky Mountains on the shores of the Tellico Lake. Hear fascinating Cherokee myths and legends, marvel at the Cherokee syllabary which took Sequoyah twelve years to develop, but only a few hours for the average person to learn. See the artifacts excavated in the Little Tennessee Valley in two decades of archeological work on sites spanning 8,000 years of continuous human habitation. Shop in the Museum gift shop and visit the Cherokee Memorial adjacent to the Museum.
