We had the good fortune of staying here. The staff is out of this world. Would like to mention 2 people who went way above and beyond for us. Tim and Janette you are incredible people and this campground or any other is blessed to have you!!!

I long for the days when the Townsend KOA area was rural. There is too much suburbia getting in there. Regardless, campground quiet, peaceful. Cabin was clean, smelled great, and relaxing. The only wait a second was the hot water for the shower was used up in one shower. You have to wait 30 minutes between users or prepare to get shivering.

Great spot and the staff is awesome even got our hot water fixed by a local RV mechanic. Highly recommend to see the Smokey's. Go to newfound Rd and the Titanic museum then look up some cool trails and look out Rd in Gatlinburg
Ron Chartier
Awesome nice and tidy campground. They have e-bike rentals at an affordable price. Also they have a nice camp store/gas station. If you like it more quiet, I would chose koa Townsend over the hustle and bustle of pigeon forge or gatlinburg. I loved my stay at the koa!

Super clean campground. 10 out of 10. Staff was great. Bathrooms were super clean. They offer a septic tank emptying service if you have a camp spot with no hookup. Cheap and easy. My kids played on the playground and basketball goal. They had a bounce house one day. The river that runs beside the campground was gorgeous and fun to play in. We will be back.
