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.

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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.
