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.

KOA Townsend, TN is close to anything you want but away from all the hustle and bustle of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The park has a lot for the kids to do-wade the river, new playground, ride bikes, close to hiking, Cades Cove. Staff is excellent and professional. Everything is updated and clean. Our family had a lot of fun and would love to return. Highly recommend for a family vacation.

We stayed at a 30amp back in site and it was great! Beautiful location and the kids enjoyed going down to the river. The entire place is well maintained by people who truly care and it shows!

We had an amazing stay at the KOA in Townsend. Our cabin by the river was perfect. It was clean, peaceful, and a great place to relax. One of the highlights was seeing a mink along the river. I had never seen one before, so that was a really cool experience. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the whole campground had a laid-back, family-friendly vibe. I also really enjoyed the Sunday morning church service. It was a thoughtful and meaningful way to start the day. I highly recommend this KOA to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in a beautiful setting. We will definitely be back.
