We’ve stayed with you for many years and typically love the campground. This year instead of bringing our camper we decided to stay in the “Deluxe” riverfront cabins. We will never stay in them again. The cleanliness: 2/10. Mold in the shower. Absolutely disgusting bed sheets (pee stains,hair). I had to clean the ac and mini split filters because they were so clogged with dirt. Overpriced fo

Very pleasant. Convenient & comfortable. Bed felt lower at the head end: maybe needs to be rotated? Shower was great. Fire pit was not practical—maybe a community fire pit would be more enjoyable?

John was very helpful and friendly! I've been coming to this camp since 2010, my first time in an RV, it was easy to check in and out, navigate the campgrounds.

Only wish I had stayed a little longer. Good location in Townsend. We've stayed in Townsend many times over the years - "The Peaceful Side of the Smokies"

We have been coming here for 3 years. Great layout, friendly staff and clean facilities. This year they have put in basketball hoop and my son was super excited about that!

we have camped at a lot of KOA’s. This one in Townsend is the nicest one I’ve ever stayed at. The campsites were very well laid out. Extremely clean. Although we didn’t use any of the other facilities, they were very well laid out. I would highly recommend this campground. we stayed nights.

Very happy with our DC on the river. The landscaping around the cabin was perfectly executed in a way that made it feel isolated, despite a packed full holiday weekend. The location was a short distance from the stores in Ware Valley, where old time Gatlinburg's hand made arts and crafts is still alive. Hopefully the chain stores will stay away and keep this area a "secret" hideaway for a long tim

Other than the rain we had a great time. Kids loved that you put the basketball goal back up. Sites were very nice and staff was very friendly this year more than ever. Keep up the good work.

Very nice campground, great location with a friendly staff. We’ve stayed here every year and it’s still the best campground on this side of the smokies!

Outstanding location, amenities, and staff. The staff goes out of their way to make sure your stay is as enjoyable as possible. Extremely well maintained campground! Very well done KOA! We will definitely be back.

One of the best we have stayed at. Our cabin was next to the river, and it was so beautiful. Had a porch swing, grill, and fire pit. Showers were excellent. We rented bikes for Cades Cove right at the campground. Staff was so friendly and helpful. Felt like staying in the woods even though we were right by the road. Easy access to the park without the mess of Gatlinburg.

we came for the bike round at Cades Cove - the e bikers did not ride in single file and one time, two passed me at the same time on either side of me after saying "stay right where you are I'm on your right" - as I was trying to go up a steep hill. They were whizzing past us, and then stopping in large groups. they need a speed limit and group size limit and some etiquette

Had another great time. See you next year.

The campground was immaculate. Very well placed shrubbery and trees. It was a bit tight with a 40ft toyhauler and dually but the staff were great and helped with the best route thru the campground. The bathrooms were clean and in wonderful condition. All in all a great stay.

Site was well groomed and clean. Friendly and helpful staff. Site location was very good, with wonderful view of the river.

The staff were very friendly, helpful, and professional. The site was great. The campground was very clean and well maintained. The dog park area was a nice size and well kept. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again if we are in the area.

Second stay, staff is very courteous and helpful, quiet campground. Bathhouses are clean, shower did take several minutes to heat up, but I once it did, it was fine.

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!

Beautiful location. Cabin along the river was clean, and exactly as advertised. We will definitely stay again!
May 21, 2026
The little cabin was clean. On the river. Was not crazy about the parking. And no fudge store.
May 21, 2026
Absolutely stunning and the staff were very friendly! I would stay again, next time we are in the area.
