Stayed there 3 times love Cherokee KOA
May 25, 2024
I actually stayed there from May 9 until 23 May. I had the most delightful time. I love the Cherokee Indian experience. I love the campsite. It’s beautiful. I just can’t imagine what it took to make such a beautiful campground and amazing educational experience for people to learn more about the Cherokee Indians. I love going into town and going to the museum. The campground was very hard to l

This was our third year in a row for a group of 4 rvs to go together and camp. We loved the KOA in Cherokee but this year we were extremely disappointed primarily in the cleanliness of the bathrooms. We arrived on Wednesday and the restroom by the basketball court wasn’t cleaned until the next Tuesday. The water was even cut off Sunday and the toilets were running over until Tuesday.

Stayed in mostly level back-in site 93 along the trout ponds. Alas, the passing traffic is noisy- loud commercial trucks, motorcycles with open pipes and sports coupes roaring by. The nearby river is NOT easily accessible. I used the updated comfort station. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Great time and great place to stay

KOA Cherokee is a great place for families with small children. We brought our 4 year old and 2 year old grandsons and they had a blast! The campground had plenty to keep them busy and we were just a short drive away from seeing the elk each evening. I recommend this campground!

We enjoyed it, the men's bathrooms were not very clean during our stay this was the only thing that my husband noticed. We really wished there was a way to get to the creek easier, to let our dogs play. We figured there must be a reason there wasn't one.

Dirtiest koa we ever stayed at. Pool filthy. Broken and unsafe ladder with loose steps and wobbly. Hot tub has piles of dirt in bottom. Does not work. Told staff nothing repaired. Bathrooms near staff sites disgusting. Clogged toilets for days. 0 cleaning seen. Lots of Carnies with neck tattoos riding around all day and night on golf carts. Nobody cleaning or fixing. Hire some help with teeth.

Lock on bathroom door was broken and fell off. I repaired it. No plates, silverware or cooking utensils. Otherwise it was good. Staff were friendly and helpful

Loved the place, been coming here for a few years now. Would love to see some more lighting at night around the front area as far as the entrance is. Very confusing when driving in at night.

YOUR SERVICE SUX AND TRY CURRING SOME OF THE ABUNDANTS OF POSION IVY THAT IS COVERING ALL OF YOUR DECKS AND FIX ALL THE BROKEN FIXYURES IN THE CABINS OR TAKE THEM OUT! A LIGHT SWITCH IS SUPPOSED TO TURN ON LIGHTS. I WILL NEVER STAY THERE AGAIN. 3 STRIKES YOUR OUT. 3RD TIME STAYING AND THE LAST. IT SUXED ALL 3 TIMES

We arrived and from the start everyone was so nice. We had gone for our daughter birthday. The whole staff wished her a happy birthday. The cabin was exactly what we needed for a weekend getaway. The camp activities are fun for the whole family. The bathrooms were always clean and if needed a staff member is always around. Thank you for an amazing weekend our daughter will never forget!

Though it rained all but one day of our stay, the cable TV, and road side trash pickup were great. The staff was very friendly. Thank you very much.

Has a great time staying in the cabin and fishing for trout in the ponds and river. The only suggestion I would have is to put a little gate on the deck to keep dogs contained when people are sitting outside. We ended up buying a little expendable plastic gate and wedged it between the deck and a cooler but it would be great if you had a real gate for people with pets.

Restrooms needed to be cleaned all week. Toilet paper was scarce.

Pulling a large camper in or out is very difficult with all the trees narrow turns and short sights causing people vehicles to stick out. However the staff was excellent helpful and pleasant. The campground was very clean and quiet good for kids

Rained too much�� we’ll be back

Everyone was very helpful from check-in to check-out. Great place for base campsite to see Smokey Mountain NP. Don't have to pull your rig over the mountain if coming from the South.

I called ahead to see if I could check into my cabin early and was told the cabin won't be available till 330 to 4. I arrived earlier than 330 and pulled right up to my empty cabin. I saw a drastic difference in the appearance of the store, staff and outdoor facilities with the new management - not like prior visits. I plan on canceling my October trip as a result. No snack bar or hot tub

Came here 19 yrs ago with young kids, then 5 yrs ago with graduated daughter, and this time with daughter, son-in-law, and 7 mo grandson. New additions loved the experience and now love Smokies and this KOA. We'll always return!

Good stay with family

We had a great stay! Due to the weather we had to make some changes to our reservations and the ladies at the front desk were tremendous at both helping with the changes and with making sure we had everything we needed. We'll be back!

Friendly staff and clean facilities, but we did have an issue with lack of hot water in the bath houses.

Beautiful place with great friendly staff

Very nice camp ground , wish they had new pool open But they don’t open it until after Memorial Day or Memorial Day weekend.

This is our second time staying at the Cherokee/Great Smokies KOA and it was fabulous! Our cabin was perfect for our family of 4. Our kids loved the creek outside the cabin and had a blast exploring the nature island. My husband enjoyed fishing the pond, and we all enjoyed burgers on the grill. This KOA is the perfect base camp for our area explorations and feels like coming home!

I like the campground and the area. The cabin had a great mattress on the bed. But things missing like end tables and lamps. Had to use overhead lights the whole time. Faucet in bathroom when turned on would spray out everywhere. Mattress on pull out couch awful. Needs replacing. Too thin and sticking in my back if these things are corrected it will be much better stay

Had a wonderful time, our upper awning pin broke and the maintenance crew came to our rescue!!! So very grateful! Cannot thank all of the staff enough. Everyone is so polite and professionally helpful!!! Thank you again!

Wonderful Mother's Day weekend. Enjoyed the pancake breakfast. Everything was great. Very clean and quiet.

We had a lovely creek-side RV site that was just perfect for us. The amenities were great and the staff were all super friendly and helpful. We would definitely love to visit again sometime!

The cabin on the river is great Beautiful view

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.

Very nice park. Kind of out of the way yet close in. Quiet which is very nice if you've spent a few nights near a freeway.

What a beautiful camp ground. The cabins are pretty well stocked with everything you need. A few items did not work but did not take away from the experience.
