If you end up needing to change I would highly recommend the Townsend KOA. It's still close to Pigeon Forge but way more mellow and a beautiful property.
Thanks for the heads up. We have a cabin and RV sites booked for a week in September for all the kids and grands. I'm hoping it's not a miserable stay. Might have to check the availability at Townsend KOA.
It is very cramped. We stayed in the front loop near the road, so we expected a bit of noise. The spot we picked was for a larger camper than we had, but it was almost impossible to get into it. The bathhouse had mud overflowing into it. The staff was extremely nice and friendly. I do not necessarily hate it, but do not think we will be going back there.
this makes me sad. we just booked a cabin there for next june. we live in ohio. so it’s 7.5 hours each way. our kids will be 5 1/2 and 8 1/2 next summer. so dollywood, national park etc is why we chose this KOA. our cabin is in the way back facing patriot park. hoping we don’t have all the problems you guys did.
@@jekell101 we usually go to jellystones, but the one that’s super close to dollywood isn’t the best location :/ it is super small. not the jellystone experience we are used to at other locations. so that’s how we ended up picking this KOA- growing up my family always stayed at KOA’s.
Are you serious? I have had the misfortune of having to drive through Pigeon Forge several times. So much traffic, so many people, yuck! I bought my RV to get away from that! You would have to pay me to park my rig anywhere near Pigeon Forge!!!
Thanks for the review. We just booked here. Might be changing it to another campground.

@heatherrowe4591 The Patriot Park side has nice sites. For the record I think this is a great spot of you're going for Dollywood.
