    Everyone was so nice and helpful from the time we made our reservations to make sure we had the perfect camp site. It was not crowed so we loved it.

    Friendly staff, clean campground and quiet except for hunters (and coyotes!) in the distance! Look forward to coming again.... Thank you.

    Staff was friendly and very attentive. The only draw back to this KOA, is the RV sites are way to close together. We were eating dinner and the RV beside us black water hose was literally 6 inch behind the picnic table!

    Place was very clean and check in was a breeze.The only thing i could see was the picnic table is needing the wood replaced and the fire pit needs work.But we enjoyed the stay and will be back.

    The sites were a little closer to each other than we prefer but the very helpful staff made up for it.

    Our family spent Thanksgiving here and found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. Although the site type we reserved is smaller and closer together than other site types, we found it roomy enough and we were able to maintain privacy. The site was level and this facility has great amenities.

    So great we are coming back!

    We camp ALOT all over the states and this KOA is by far the best camp ground we have been too. Each spot is beautifully landscaped and very clean. We went when all the leaves were falling and everyday they were cleaned up. The bathrooms/showers were very clean. Bathroom could use more heat. Staff was awesome! This will be our place every time we come back to the Smoky’s. A+++. Thank you al

    The entire staff was extremely professional, helpful, kind and polite. The owner needs to be proud of them!

    We stayed for 6 nights, arriving on Weds. We had requested one of the deluxe sites; were surprised to be put in the big double spot right in front of the office and campground. Big spot and nice but loud and not private. Playground, (we have no kids), staff conversations by the office, cars in the spots leaving their lights on facing our spot. Beautiful but not as restful as hoped.

    Beautiful, clean campground in a very picturesque setting. Our site backed up to the river. One of our favourite campgrounds ever. Friendly staff and extremely clean bathrooms and showers. We can’t recommend this campground enough. We’ll be back!

    While this is a very nice campground, the sites are very small. We did stay right on the river which was wonderful. The stay was also very nice, from check in to the all the workers.
