We stayed right by the River and had a great view. The bathrooms were very clean. The location is just about a mile from the entrance to the Smoky Mountains.

great stay, very close to National Park, Cades Cove area. Park is a little tight for Big Rigs but staff does a great job of helping you out. Exit lane needs to be widened just a little, I was scrapping bushes on both sides of my motorhome. Great biking right from campground!

This was our first time out with our camper van. We chose the Townsend KOA based on a previous visit. The campground didn’t disappoint. It is well maintained and the staff are very friendly. There have been many improvements to the campground since our last visit We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back

This was our fifth year of spending multiple weeks in November at the Townsend KOA. The rv park, with all the recent improvements, is always spectacular and the staff hits it out of the park every time. While there are other rv parks coming on line, the Townsend KOA sets the bar so high, they will never catch up, and it is on the quiet side of the GSMNP! Reservations made for next year!

Very nice park. Great sites by the river. Very well staffed and maintained. A few spots a little tight. The park is a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. Great location for Smokies activities.

I wasn’t planning on staying here, but I’m glad my plans changed. I even stayed an extra night. Everyone was extremely helpful, the place was clean, and it was very convenient to Cades Cove. Special thanks to Jeff for helping me out. He was a huge help.

The staff is always friendly and helpful. The areas are well maintained. We’ve camped here several times and will continue to opt staying in “The quiet side of the mountains”.

Our family had a great weekend in one of your cabins on the Little River. Loved listening to the river on the porch with the grill and firepit. Impressed that if you need firewood you guys deliver it to the door! Loved location literally right outside the National Park. Staff were so nice!

This campground was the best we’ve stayed in after 8 years of camping across the country. The staff was phenomenal. Everyone was very professional, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The facilities were immaculate and well maintained, and the grounds were beautiful.

A new camper came in at eleven o'clock one night. was rather loud and somewhat rude! He had difficulty backing in, it would be nice if late arrivals could have a pull thru site! Just a thought!!!!

Great WI-FI.

Our stay was great, the only complaint I have is we had ants in our bathtub and probably cabin and had to rinse it out before using it and the conditioner did not work. Other than those 2 problems, it is a nice, quiet campground. We will be back in the future if nothing happens.

Perfect as always! Plan to be back in the Spring if not sooner.

The campground was well kept. Due to the time of the season we came there wasn't much to do at the campground, especially for young kids. The cabin we stayed at was a little unkept- sinks were clogged and floors were not mopped upon arrival. Otherwise, it was a very quiet, relaxing place especially near the river!

We LOVE the Townsend KOA. The only place we want to stay in the smokies.
Nov 05, 2025
We came in, last minute, with no reservation and you guys still took care of us! We love staying at the KOA and will be back soon!
