The campground was clean and beautiful. Our cabin was wonderful over looking the river. We had such a wonderful time. I would definitely go back.

I would have gave it a 5 star except that we stay Friday until Monday and on Sunday they closed the pool all day for maintenance. I think they could have done that during the week while there wasn’t as many guest so all the kids that was there camping couldn’t swim all day. Yes the creek was there but there was 3 snakes at the little entrance to it on site 100. We were all upset over that.

Nice sites, clean bathrooms, activities, the staff was very helpful. The entrance and exit are on the opposite side (keep to the left coming in and out). Also had a lady who parked in our site 3 times to load and unload floats & cooler along with her older children. She blocked me in for 10 minutes as I was trying to leave each time. There is a foot path for people to use and she ignored that.

We have going to Townsend Tn KOA for many years and have never been disappointed. Staff always goes above and beyond to ensure we are happy, comfortable and have all we need, they are always happy to bring anything we may by just a text. Always a pleasure to be there.

The KOA campground was great and we loved the river. I was however very disappointed when we went to the pool on Sunday and found out it was closed for the entire day. That was so upsetting to find out because it was our last day and it was so hot. I have a toddler so he can’t play on the river like other kids can. There was also 2 snakes in the river so I did not feel comfortable.

The stay and property was awesome. Making the reservations was not. We rented a cabin and a spot for a truck tent and booked it all mo this ago trying to get them close together and that seemed to be a problem. Even after checking in there were spots right by are Cain we tried to see about moving the tent closer to and they weren’t helpful with and those spots were empty all weekend. Not happy

A clean and friendly KOA. Staff were very friendly. Park was just big enough to not be over crowded or busy.

The employees using leaf blowers during meal time is disturbing and blows dirt on the food. Otherwise, nice campground.

My week at the Townsend KOA is my favorite trip of the year. Site 77 is amazing! Shady with a river view. Campground is clean and very well maintained. Already looking forward to next year!

The staff is great - very friendly and they keep the campground so clean We never used the pool or playground which looked great Our big issue was with our terrible spot You should show the map when people book Had I seen that 74c was right on top of other sites I would never have booked it It was so unlevel and shared a skinny entry road with two other campers - Horrible

What's not to love about the Townsend GSM KOA. The park itself is just gorgeous, the location to the National Park is perfect and what a lovely staff and management. Choose from many cabin options, shaded RV sites and some of the nicest tent sites I've seen. Highly recommend you visit the Peaceful side of the Smokies and enjoy every thing this KOA has to offer. 10 Stars

The staff is very friendly. They met us at our vehicle when we pulled in and escorted us to our site. After getting settled then we went to the office and finished registration. The campground and facilities are very nice and clean. There are a lot of trees so there is plenty of shade.

Great stay! We were 3 couples in an RV, a 5th wheel, and a cabin. Enjoyed the river, pool, and the area. Nice grounds, well maintained and shady with lots of trees. I had some mechanical problems with my slide outs while packing up, and two employees (Justin and Tom) jumped right in to help us troubleshoot and resolve the issue. Great staff. Already booked the same time next year

Had a blast for a family outing to celebrate a milestone birthday for my brother. I know for a fact site 125 for tents wasn't tent pitching friendly. Too many tree roots and gravel under the mulch. We finally got stakes driven in but now we have to replace the bent stakes. Spectacular site but not worth the pain.
