We loved our riverfront site. It was hard to get our large 5th wheel into our space, but the workers were so helpful and guided us until we were perfectly in our spot. Everyone was very friendly and the campground was beautiful and well-maintained. We would absolutely recommend this RV park!

As usual for a KOA, the campground was clean, and very well organized. But the cream on the top was the staff, extremely friendly and knowledgeable about local things of interest. WE stayed in a cabin, and it was meticulously clean and the layout was great. the only complaint I have is the "toddler "toilets. they were too short, while using my knees were higher than the seat.

LOVE the Townsend KOA! The camp ground itself is east in and out and so beautiful, the staff are delightful and helpful, the super clean bath house is great, level sites and oh my, the river is peaceful. Definitely a 10/10 and we can’t wait to visit again. Thank you!

The little cabin was clean. On the river. Was not crazy about the parking. And no fudge store.

The campground is always well maintained. We chose a camping cabin this time. It was clean. The beds were comfortable. Overall, it was an affordable option. Thanks for always being so cordial and welcoming.

Great staff that are very friendly and helpful. Sites are very tight to park fifth wheel with trees and dumpsters extremely close to the road. Large boulders also line the driveways to keep vehicles from turning off the roadway. Bathroom and showers are very clean and easily accessible.

We’ve been coming every year since 2017 and it’s gotten better each year!! We always look forward to our stay and have never had any issues.

This is a beautiful campsite! Everything was great - except for poor/non-working Wi-Fi. We couldn't get ours to connect at all (we were in bay 53). We are with T-Mobile which struggled a bit in the mountains, so we needed that Wi-Fi to work. I am sure this could be resolved with the addition of a repeaters throughout the campsite.

We were there to attend the Highland Games. The campground is very pretty and it’s in a great location that makes it easy to get into town or into the Smokies National Park. The camping lots are very nicely appointed, nice tables, a fire ring and a double rocker chair, all on a nicely paved patio. The space was level, most look as though they are. My only ding is poor internet.

Thought my camping cabin and all the facilities nearby were great. Items in camp store were very over priced but that is typical. Only thing I didn't like was the constant, strong smell of campfire smoke. I assume campers weren't using dry wood and it smoked a lot. Not the fault of KOA.

Very enjoyable, loved all the new flowers placed around the campground to freshen it up. Tom and Kevin that ushered us in were very hospitable. Only issue I saw was that some of the picnic tables that are warped need to be replaced.

Awesome weekend! Everything was just as advertised on website. Clean and beautiful campground. The only thing that could have been better is the porch swept and railing cleaned of spiderwebs and outdoor furniture was really dirty just a spring cleaning needed. But the cabin inside was very clean and tidy absolute pleasure to stay in. The staff is very friendly and kind! We will be back for sure

Love it. Hope to be back soon.

Great stay!!

I don’t know where to start! I am new to KOA. And it will be a lifelong relationship! Fantastic complex. The staff was unbelievably nice and helpful. The amenities were off the chain. I couldn’t believe there was a pool, Wi-Fi, a refrigerator, heater, Wi-Fi and TV in the cabin! We had a grill and a fire pit and a picnic table and a running water faucet outside! What more could I ask for?!

Beautiful well kept campground with very friendly staff.

Townsend/GreatSmokies KOA is one of THE best campgrounds we have stayed at over the past 10 years. We have stayed at campgrounds across the USA many times and cannot think of any that is better kept or nicer looking. And the staff are very friendly and helpful. It feels like a small community of very nice (and quiet) neighbors.

Beautiful sites well maintained in tune with nature. KOA workers a 20 on scale of 1-10 very polite, knowledgeable and willing to do anything to help you enjoy your stay.

SIte was OK. All sites are really close together. The cabin area bathhouse was dirty several times. But issue is the pricing has gone up way too much for a return visit.
