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.

Beautiful campground. Clean, and well maintained by the staff who were very friendly and helpful when needed. This is our second time there and the only place I would want to camp in the Gatlingburg area. Thanks for everything.

This is our 15th year of having our family camping trip here pretty much the same week every year, I’ve never seen this campground in more need of maintenance. The grounds are terrible, the culverts are clogged with debris everywhere and the rain doesn’t drain it just runs over the campsites and floods everywhere. There in desperate need of gravel and mulch in about every place on grounds

All 3 mornings we were woke up around 6am even though quiet time was until 8am. First day, someone was using and impact to lower their RV. And the next two days, there were dogs barking. No one enforces these quiet times. Everything is on top of itself. And small sites. Facilities were clean though. Except some of the showers; some had things sitting on the drains. Def wouldn’t recommend.

Favorite spot!

Everything was great-beautiful site, pleasant and helpful staff, all the best EXCEPT the Internet Connection. Great WI-FI without internet access is useless. It took over 30 minutes on the phone to hook up a ROKU. All other devices we tried were either slow, intermittent, or had no internet access. The price at the site was high, but it would have been justifiable IF the internet had worked.

Stay was great. Only real complaint was the black mud from the rotten mulch on the tent sites. That stuff coated everything that we had after a rain. It was awful.

A great place! Lots of greenery and very family oriented! Clean and great location. Will definitely stay again.

We had a great time, the staff was great. The only problem we had is when we went to book for next year and were informed our sites were already booked and not available. It is frustrating that KOA changes their booking policies and doesn’t inform their customers. So we will not be back next year.

What an awesome setting, on the edge of the Little River. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked with hand soap. And we especially enjoy your little park and “beach” on the riverbank. Our 1st visit was a month ago when we came for a wedding and we loved it so much we booked a second stay.

We had a very nice stay at the Townsend/Great Smokies KOA. The park is very well kept with nice level sites and so close to GSMNP. The staff is very friendly. Justin and Amy were especially helpful during our stay. Justin did a great job helping us get our camper backed into the site perfectly and then stopping by to say hi and asking how everything was going with our stay! We’ll be back!

We have stayed at this campground for over 25 years and it is a special get away for us every time. The facilites are always nice and clean, the front office desk always so kind and helpful, and the scenery is beautiful. Cant wait for our next getaway.

Kevin @ KoA Townsend was awesome. He helped us resolved a leveling system issue. Sherry @ KoA Townsend greatly assistant us during a family emergency. She suggested we move to another location inside KoA Townsend so we could stay another day. She gave us detailed instructions on KoA Townsend. The next morning we had a flat on the rv. Kevin helped us contact a tire repairman. It was a great stay.

Beautiful campground with lots of amenities. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Loved that it was so close to the Smoky Mountains.

Everything was great as usual. This was our 3rd time visiting this campground. The only thing I wish they had was a change machine in the laundry room.

Amazing campsites right on little river. The staff responds instantly to all needs. And it's located perfectly in Townsend to walk to stuff and short drives to everything else.
