Sweetwater KOA Holiday

This place smells like fart.

I don't like the term "Rad-O-Meter". Other than that, I loved it! ;)

All amenities worked as expected. Strong wifi, electric/water/sewer hookups good, easy pull through site, easy access, central to I-75 an hour south of Knoxville, quiet campground. Good spot to pull through for the night. Not sure we'd stay here for anything other than a one night stopover, but no major detractors.

Campground is well kept, clean and quiet. Some sites have concrete pads and some are gravel pads. It appeared that none were level side to side as everyone had blocks or pads under the street side of the RV. I had gravel and needed about 5" to level. I had a premium site which is FHU. Includes WI-FI and cable tv. The cable signal was so snowy I switched to OTA television picked up from Knoxville and had a great clear signal. This was our first time at a KOA and I was disappointed. I will look elsewhere next time.

Sites need some attention but not bad WiFi slow.

We normally avoid the KOAs like the plague... and usually only use them as last stop before we park the rig in storage so we can flush everything out. That said this KOA is very nice. We were only there for 24 hours or so, but in that time we enjoyed the pool, playground, jumping pad, playground, dog runs, etc. We did everything except fish. WiFi and cell coverage was great. Lots of grandparents here with the little ones.

Worth mentioning... when we checked out, we got maybe a quarter of a mile away and our tow vehicle just died. No power, check engine light on, it's only a couple years old.... but we were stranded. A minute went by while we were troubleshooting and putting out triangles, and we were passed by several friendly people offering help, including staff members (thanks Kelly) and everyone offered help. They were full up sold out due to 4th of July weekend.... and we didn't know what we were going to do or how long the tow vehicle would take to fix. I managed to get the vehicle going long enough to tow the trailer back to the KOA and they found a spot for us in overflow area and didn't want any money. The rest of the family could swim in the pool while I figured things out. They even hooked us up with 30 amp even though we weren't in a spot so our dogs stayed cool. One of the staff named Steve was very hospitable, and went out of his way to even offer to come get me if I needed a ride from the dealership down the road.

Thankfully everything worked out with the tow vehicle and we were able to get back on the road a couple hours later.... but it could have been way worse. The staff at the KOA made us feel what true hospitality feels like.

Checked into a deluxe Cabin, and we love it! Queen bed and small bunk room provide sleeping for up to 4. Getting 32mbps down over WiFi and 52mbps down over Tmobile on a Saturday evening in February.

We stayed at this campground for one night as an overnight stopping point for a long drive.

The campground is near I-75 and fairly easy to find using GPS. The entrance on the left of the curved road was a bit confusing only because the continuing road is so small it looks like a private drive.

The campsite is full of friendly and helpful employees. The camp store has lots of thoughtful camping items and the facilities are clean. Remodeled bathrooms were a perk we were not expecting.

The only detractor for this stayover was that our campsite was not close to level. We don't have levelers, so it made for a difficult time sleeping.

I would camp here again if I could better choose a level site.

Stayed in a very long super site. Could have handled two RV’s. Two separate FHU’s!. Site was pretty level. Neighbors were close but still a good experience!. Would stay here again.

We arrived late, and the check-in information was conveniently left for us. Karen met us and escorted us to our beautiful site. She was helpful and kind and very much appreciated. Communication was great at every turn. As newbies, we were a little late with checking out, and everyone was very understanding. The grounds were gorgeous, and although we needed to get back on the road, we were sad we couldn’t stay another night. We will definitely be back!
