First day here and really like it. The sites are too close to each other but now that is the norm. We are at site 180 and get good reception to KOA WiFi. Our dogs loved the clean creek. Cell reception is a bit limited. 2 bars with Verizon. A lot to do for kids. Will definitely visit again since it is close to Atlanta.
Awesome place

They even have an indoor heated pool, so kids loved it.
Nice area, I had high expectations

First they gave my reserved cabin to someone else, they did do their best to straighten it out even if my family and dog had to wait in the hot car For an hour. Since they put me in a different cabin they marked where I was staying as vacated and sent housekeeping who proceeded to take things we had on the porch. Had the cabin not been locked I fear they would have taken all we had inside. I guess I could say the place isn’t very well run. Really not major issues but easily the worst KOA experience I have ever had. When you spend $500 for three nights you just expect a bit better.
Very busy during July 4th weekend

Not a best idea to stay on July 4th weekend. We stayed on a cabin. Not adequate bathroom for the amount of people stayed in the campground. Kids will probably love this place due to amount of activity they offer.
Nice for proximity to Great Smoky Mountain NP

The campground itself is well kept. We stayed in a 5th wheel so we didn’t check out the bathrooms. The pool wasn’t open yet; neither was the grill.

(We stayed in late April) The indoor pool seemed ok but we didn’t go in because the chlorine was too strong for the kids. The jumping pillow was fun for kids though. We rented a golf cart for about $60/day. We probably didn’t need to, but I had an injury and couldn’t walk much. The laundry room was small but ok; it only takes quarters. We stayed in a back-in site on the river. Very nice spot with lots of people fishing right from the sites. There is NO CELL SERVICE and VERY LIMITED WiFi. It is stronger near the main check in. Make sure you follow the directions on the website as some of the roads are winding to tow. My parents stayed in a cabin, and while they are nice, they weren’t cleaned very well.
