I like the updates to the cabins.. only issue is no curtain on door and issue with ants in cabin

We stayed in one of the two room cabins, wow. Wonderful, had all the amenities so we could cook, even watch TV if we wanted. A huge facility, well maintained, and right on the river. It was perfect. We had outdoor seating for a campfire, and any amenity you could possibly imagine. My only concern is that check in for a cabin is four pm, and the office closes at five, too short a window.

Cabin was very clean and supplied all of our needs. Campground was laid out well and staff very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back

Very friendly staff clean and a very nice place will definitely book again

We traveled with adult friends we each had cabins side by side. Gorgeous river front views from the deck. Cabins were comfortable and comforts of home. We all enjoyed our stay and wish to have stayed longer. Will definitely return.

We come here every year for a yearly family camping trip. This time we were able to get a site side my side which was proven to be difficult in the past. We love this place!

I have been coming here for 30 years and the staff is like it use to be! Very helpful and super friendly!! Great time

We had a wonderful stay at Cherokee koa and will continue to keep coming back as often as we can. Our family loves to stay there.

Up most of the night listening to drunks getting in fights behind our cabin.

We enjoyed our stay.

Me and my family enjoyed our KOA stay so much. We will be back!

I've been coming for 7 years now. The upgrade to the cabin and especially the heat in the camping cabin is huge. You are my favorite spot!! See you in the fall!

Rented two deluxe cabins on the river, 241 and 246 for our annual guys fishing trip. Both cabins were clean and well stocked. I watched a worker clean a cabin, it took an hour, so I know it's cleaned thoroughly. I believe it is under new management and I personally appreciate all they are doing to make my stay pleasant.

The cabin was very nice and clean. There were no curtains on the door like the other cabins. The heater in the bathroom did not work, but we were fine with the one heater near the bed. We enjoyed being so close to the river and fishing from the pond. The staff at the KOA is very nice and accomodating. We enjoyed our stay.

I came with a group and we had the BEST time! I loved every minute. Hiking, cooking outside, sitting around the fire pit sharing life and stories. Our cabin was great and very comfortable. Everyone we met was so nice and helpful. I have already told family and friends about Cherokee Great Smokies KOA I will be back!
Apr 08, 2024
Everything was great except for the hand soap being empty in the women's bathroom for the entire 3 days we were there. That was for the toilet side as well as the shower side.
Apr 08, 2024
We had a very hard time with our cabin neighbors and parking near the 249-254 cabins. There are no designated parking spots, clearly labeled for each cabin. It caused a huge deal with them as they all kept parking where we were directed to park by staff for our cabin. Please find a way to clearly label parking spots for these close cabins.

Every one went out of their way to help. My family and I had a great time. Just wish the store would open my eight for coffee and stay open longer so kids could get ice cream after dinner they were disappointed that the store was closed so early. And there was to many people saying bad words at the ponds to take kids need to put signs up to stop it or ask them to leave

Absolutely wonderful

We love koa. At other koas, the base cabin has heating and air. We did not get an escort to our cabin, my son took a cold shower due to hot water not working. The pool was down, the pool facility was not heated. Hot tube has no bubbles. Staff was not very friendly. We will not be going back to this KoA. We made the best of it, but compared to other koas, this was hands down the worst.

Cabin was clean but there were ants

Loved it. The only down side were the cobwebs in the cabins and although the floors looked clean I do not think thay had been moped in awhile. From the time we checked in, our feet and or socks were really dirty just walking around.

We had a wonderful time. There was some mix up with what cabin we were supposed to be in but Kim in the office was so very nice and very helpful.. she went above and beyond to help us out with Everything.. I totally Appreciate her and all the staff at KOA … we will be back!!
Apr 07, 2024
The staff (check-in) is rude. Everyone telling you different stories. The right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. Check ins are not efficient, they do not handle requests from customers. Kim is super rude & hateful. She does NOT need to be in customer service. Tammy over on the Fishing license counter was 100% awesome, friendly & helpful & needs a raise, working circles around other

Our stay was great! I have never stayed at a KOA before. Will definitely be back.

The environment was good. The bathrooms were nasty, no soap in womens bathroom. Sock behind bunk bed, white Mold on wall behind bunk bed, floor nasty, spider webs in cabin. Talked to James about the problem and nothing was done. Strange people outside cabin first night that didn't stay there, The bathrooms were never cleaned right the whole time we was there.

Wonderful!!! So clean and well maintained with very friendly and helpful staff. Thank you such a beautiful stay in nature!!

Multiple problems with our cabin, asked to be switched and they had nothing available. So they told me that they could switch me to one one night and another the next night. We decided to leave, becase the power outage, holes in windows, broken windows, multiple problems with other guests. We were only refunded for the 2 days that we decided not to stay for. Nothing else.

We really enjoyed our stay & would return but we were camping and understand “it’s camping”. Positives: cabin view from 253 was incredible, space, outdoor deck was great, check in&out, kids play areas, relaxation, front bathroom clean, Negatives: back bathroom needs renovation (floors stay wet, toilet issues, dirty showers), fans click(outdated), heater quit working on 30degree night-we
Apr 05, 2024
One of my favorite places to be, so many things for kids to do here, friendly staff can't wait to go back!!
Apr 05, 2024
It was a wonderful stay. Very clean & well-kempt. The campsite was the perfect combination with nature & the staff was very polite & helpful. I love that it is pet friendly as my dog loved his daily walks, the campers were friendly too. The only concern I have is that there were a few dogs off leash on their campsite that reacted to us walking and ran toward us. The owners got control thankfully.
Apr 05, 2024
This was my second time at Cherokee KOA. We love it! My family will be coming back every year. Thank you for being great!
Apr 05, 2024
The first night was great, we got there late and they had our cabin ready for us. The next day was not good at all… I had received 2 separate messages that I would get 20% off to extend my stay so I went up to the office jessica said there were no more cabins left to check later I came back 2 different times the last time she was pretty rude and didn’t even check the computer before saying no.

$50 for a decent, barebones cabin right by the stream, can't beat it. We didn't bring blankets and pillows for everyone, which was a rookie mistake, but everything else was good.

We love Cherokee Koa, but the last few years we have been really disappointed in the cleanliness of the tiny homes rented. Lack of maintenance and proper cleaning are definitely a struggle at this facility. The staff was super friendly and the location is amazing.

Our "room" was a wide open space between the trees which was plenty of space to set up our cabin tent, with a well-placed fire ring and picnic table. Loved that the fire ring had a built in cooking grate, we definitely put that to use! Kids had lots of amenities they loved - pool, hot tub, river, bouncing pillow and pedal cars. We were probably more active during this vacation than we have been when we stay in hotels! The store had everything we needed, and some things we didn't know we needed, and firewood was delivered directly to our tent site so we didn't have to carry it. Fantastic service, community, and location - we explored the Cherokee village during the day.

We love the Cherokee/Great Smokies KOA. The campground is well kept and the cabin was clean. The staff is friendly and obviously cares about the campground. Our kids loved the creek, the playground, and fishing. It's a great base camp for area exploration; Mingo Falls is so close! The cabin was clean and well stocked with pots/pans, silverware, grilling utensils, plates, cups, and bowls. We will be back! The photos reflect a Deluxe Cabin (Full Bath with Shower) 6 person, near creek. There was a set of bunk beds, a full bath, and a separate bedroom with a full size bed and creek views.
