Townsend / Great Smokies KOA

Tie-dyed T-shirts

Bring a piece of your trip home with you: make a t-shirt during craft hour. Your tie-dyed t-shirt will be a wearable memento from your vacation. With a demonstration and all supplies provided, this retro activity satisfies campers of all ages. Remember, there is no right or wrong way to tie-dye!

Top Your Own Sundae

I scream, you scream, we all scream for sundaes! We serve up your favorite toppings such as chocolate syrup and whipped cream, and a chance to mingle with your fellow campers.

Hay Wagon Ride

Hop on the KOA hay wagon for the camp crawl. Each day our tractor-pulled wagon, filled with families of happy campers, winds through camp. Don't be surprised to hear a serenade of campfire songs by the passengers on this rustic ride!

Tube Rentals

Tube rental (complete with unlimited shuttle service) is available from our front counter. With the shortest float on the Little River lasting about three hours, you can get picked up and dropped off to do it again. Life jackets are included with rentals.

Outdoor Cinema

The outdoor cinema is like a drive-in movie without the car. You can enjoy a family-oriented film under the stars. Grab your blanket and some change for the concession stand for freshly-popped popcorn, tasty treats and drinks. Be prepared to get comfortable and enjoy the show!

Playground Fun

At our KOA playground, kids rule. Here they can climb to new heights, swing into action and meet other junior campers in a safe environment. Our playground is designed to encourage exercise, social development, and, oh yeah, tons of fun!

Banana Bike Rentals

While a lot of people think of banana bikes as a "kid's thing," many parents have been inclined to take a turn on this three wheeling recumbent sensation. Low to the ground and easy to maneuver, banana bikes provide a novel form of campground transportation. Rentals are available hourly with discounts for multiple hours.
