About

Cherokee/Great Smokies KOA, located in the heart of Cherokee country, is a resort campground bordered by the Raven Fork River and three Tribal Ponds and a few miles away to the Great Smokey Mountain and Blue Ridge Parkway

Story

What a location! The Cherokee / Great Smokies KOA is bordered on one side by the serene Raven Fork River and on the other side by three tribal trout ponds. It lies just across the road from Great Smoky Mountains National Park and 1 mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway. From almost anywhere on KOA's grounds, take in 360-degree mountain views. This resort campground offers Camping Cabins, Cottages and Lodges, large RV sites, tent sites and tepees. This KOA is ideal for the biggest group gatherings with year-round indoor and seasonal outdoor pools and hot tubs, food service, an island pet walk, an outdoor movie cinema, a Big Bouncer and adventure mini golf. Campers enjoy the shuttle to area attractions and events too numerous to count. Check online for special events, theme weekends and seasonal activities.

Reviews
Absolutely beautiful area. Nice spacious campground. Mostly very clean. Stayed in a nice very basic cabin with only lights and a fan. Outstanding bathroom and shower facilities. Outstanding WiFi. Very children friendly atmosphere and facility. (However, this KOA might want to stop the campground wide sound on outdoor movies at 9 p.m. for those who want some sleep. Just FYI.) Trout ponds next door are great if you can get the KOA staff to open their gates when fishing can legally begin in the mornings and drop their feud with the Cherokee tribe. The "fish cleaning station" provided at the rear of the facility was wholly inadequate and most certainly not maintained by any staff. Disgusting is an understatement but I will say it was "opening day". Finally, and the main reason for my rating is the absolutely rude attitude I witnessed of two Yankee trash on staff that Chief Thomas would have dispatched in a heartbeat. My advice for management/ ownership: Hire only staff with a heart for Southern hospitality and a welcoming friendly attitude like the Cherokee are known for and you'll have more business than you can handle.

This is one of our favorite places to camp in the Southeast US. We have young kids and teenagers. They all have fun. Great fishing in the ponds and river. Don't forget your pole. Haven't been there in the summer but the pool and slides look fun. Easy in and out campsites .

We have been here a couple of times and can't say enough about it!!! From the cleanliness of the camp ground to the super friendly and accommodating staff. The indoor pool and jacuzzi are wonderful. We will stay every time we are in Cherokee!!! Great family place to stay.

Please read BEFORE renting deluxe cabin. If you decide to rent a cabin here just know what you will deal with. If you are allergic to ants or insect bites, be warned that there are ants in all of the deluxe cabins. Some cabins have a full size fridge, others have a VERY small tiny fridge...Ask if you are bringing a lot of food! The deluxe lofts can NOT be stood up in...there are very low ceiling heights and would be uncomfortable for adults. All deluxe cabins do have a Keurig which was one nice thing. This property is on an Indian reservation so be prepared to follow ALL the rules in regards to when you can fish and when you can't and so forth. They don't take kindly to even asking about certain things without being extremely rude. They do have a pool, jumping pillow and things but they close early and are not open later than 8- even though the website says 9. I think they are trying to improve, but still have a ways to go. I think from now on I'll choose another location.

We are frequent quest of KOA and really enjoy the stay, service, quality. We have a pop up camper and usually when we come thwre is always mud right in front of camper. Just a recommendation: is there any way to at least pave where entrance to door is and where picnic table sits. Even with the carpet in front of door the mud is a little much
