Fantastic mountain getaway! Best KOA experience yet. The campground is well maintained, the patio site was fabulous, but the hospitality was the best!
The General Manager, Jenni, was a gem. She was always helpful, cheerful, and informative…but everyone was. Jeromy and Trent checked on us regularly. They have a great team and their pride for their campground shows.
The campground is close enough to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge/Sevierville but far enough away to get out of the traffic and crowds. It’s nestled on a slight hillside at the foot of the mountains. Site 71 is full hookup, level side to side, slight slope toward the front. The concrete site w/ patio accommodated our 26’ RV with room to spare, with adequate space between sites.
The individual shower rooms are clean, freshly painted, and everything in good working condition. It was a little bit of a hike from our site, but there are plenty of sites nearby if you need them.
The WiFi was phenomenal for a campground, 96 mbps download/82 upload. Good reception on Verizon with 2-3 bars. The campground sets at 1909’ elevation making it a few degrees cooler.
The camp store is well stocked for your RV needs. They also had pancake donuts one morning, then pancakes and sausage the next. They always have great coffee from a Nespesso machine.
We look forward to staying here again, next time we’re in the area.

The staff here were incredibly nice and accommodating. The bathrooms have a toilet, sink, and shower in each room. No community bathrooms. Traveling with two small children, that was AMAZING for bathtime!

We just finished our stay at Gatlinburg East KOA & couldn’t be happier with our experience! Very clean sites, individual bathroom toilets/showers (also very clean), and amazing amenities for kids (big pool with 1/2 foot entry/stairs for Little’s, playground, basketball court) & a good sized dog park. All the employees were kind & helpful, trash pick up every morning and firewood delivery upon purchase. We met some amazing people from all over the country. We felt very comfortable allowing our older kids (9yo & 6yo) to scoot around, head down to the playground on their own.

This place is a must stay if you’re visiting the smokies!
