FANTASTIC

Nice park right on the little river. We stayed in a standard site which are pretty close together but we didn’t spend much time at camp and it wasn’t a problem.

Staff and facilities are always great. Cades Cove always delivers a beautiful experience.

I was thoroughly impressed!! It was SO nice! It had an amazing view of the river, steps from the river. Then the view from the upper deck was fantastic! The nice weber gas grill, 4 person table and chairs on a stone patio with a fire pit just topped off the outside. It had an electric fireplace, sleeper sofa, built in two eye hot plate, microwave, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hairdryer, etc

We had a great time and enjoyed watching the football game and the movie! The dog park was fantastic for our first time with our pup!

I love this KOA. It’s in a beautiful setting. The site we had was not appropriate for anyone towing and was tricky to get in. It was also way too expensive for not being on the river and not having sewer.

Beautiful campgrounds set along side a river that offers great views. Well kept and well staffed. A service station that offered both gas and diesel right at entrance to campgrounds.

Everything was great except the WiFi. It wasn’t very reliable.

We appreciate the care given the campground. Don’t mind the drive over the mountain for certain activities because we are always happy to return “home”. We will come back to Townsend KOA time and time again.

The Campground is absolutely beautiful! One of the staff members, Jeff, was more than helpful, not just to the camping spot, but to also help direct us as we backed into the campground spot. I say that because we had just left one KOA (we slip 2 KOA sites for vacation) and came to this one and no one at the others was nearly as helpful. KOA is truly blessed to have an employee like Jeff.

We had a great time with friends from Indiana that came down to camp. Love the area and enjoyed ourselves a lot. Our only “complaint” was Debbie that worked in the office. She was a very stand offish/rude lady. All the other ladies in the office and gentlemen that worked the campground were awesome. But it was every time we went in the office for any questions or anything. Just not friendly.

Wonderful stay in September! We especially liked how present the staff were and how the clean the entire campground was!

Favorite campground of all time. Been coming to this campground since way before it was a KOA.

primitive cabin number 7 on the river, nice peaceful view. The cabin did have a little smell of dampness with evidence of moisture on the floor around the edges. We noticed what appeared to be moss growing on the outside of the cabin. That said it is a wonderful campground with mature trees, we've been going there with our family for over 30 years. Handicapped shower could use more hand rails.

Fantastic time. Well run and extremely clean.

We have stayed there a few times in the little cabins along the river and just love it. The bathrooms are clean and so are the showers . Peaceful and relaxing! You are right at the entrance to the Great Smoky Mtn National Park where there are lots of hiking trails just minutes away. Then if you like you can float the cool mountain river.

Cabin was awesome. Overflow parking needs some serious work. I had to park in the grass across the highway because the “manager” needs two spaces for his truck. There maybe 6 spots and one of those is handicap, and two for the manager. I celebrated my 80th birthday while there. Please let me know when this is corrected. Anna Turner 6154183833.

Great campground and very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely river right next to the sites with areas to enjoy.

Everything was great until we went to for next year like we have for the past 4 years and the site was already booked. When did they open sites early. We always book for the next year while there and they were already booked. We won't be back next year.
