Gatlinburg East / Smoky Mountain KOA Holiday 4874 Hooper Highway, Cosby, TN 37722

"The staff really sets this park apart from ANY other KOA we've been to. While it would have been nice to have some grass, there are certain things you give up when you are in the mountains, and the staff made our experience here one of our favorite stops for the entire year. We've stayed at other camps with this level of tree cover, and they always look dirty or unkempt. Not so here, the park had the same mountain beauty, clean grounds, and clear roads during our entire 2 week stay. We pulled in to green leaves, and left with oranges and reds starting to creep in. The park was recently expanded, and the new sites look amazing! The camp is pretty steep, so I would make sure that you have plenty of ground clearance to move around depending on the site you are put in. We saw some homebuilt trailers that scraped pretty hard, however all commercial RV's were fine including our 45 foot rig. The pool closed before we were able to use it, however the staff does have fresh breakfast of some sort every morning, a wonderful camp store, and very friendly workers who come around to make sure everything is ok and pick up trash. The nature trail behind the park was a fun walk, and if you are adventurous enough, you can even enter the National Park and hike some of their trails from there as well. Water pressure was great, no power issues, and all the shade let us open the windows and enjoy nature without getting too hot. We camped at Gatlinburg East / Smoky Mountain KOA Holiday in a Motorhome"

"We just left after a 4 day stay to meet friends for Thanksgiving. Hands down the best KOA we have stayed at. The sites are well maintained, clean and spacious. The amenities are top notch. We already are talking about making a trip this summer! Great place to stay! We didn’t mind the drive to Gatlinburg or Smokey Mountain National Park. It is nice to be away from all the traffic. We had firewood and pizza delivered right to our site. They have great communication and always have activities going on."

"This is the first time we have stayed at Gatlinburg East and will not be the last. The campsites are spacious, the campgrounds were very well kept, the entire team was very pleasant and professional and was supporting any needs we had. Deliver your firewood and ice to your site within minutes. Definitely a next visit coming soon. Thanks to everyone!!"

"I would like to say this is a very well organized establishment. The restrooms are very nice & clean with private shower rooms located in each restroom. The staff is very pleasant and helpful. The walking trail behind the RV park is very nice, be aware of wild animals, we did see a small bobcat. The only suggestion is to provide instructions on the best route available for accessing the RV park and highway as the routes suggested by google/maps can be very dangerous for RVs, we had unknowingly attempted the wrong route, be aware as some routes are very narrow and sharp steep turns depending on where your next destination is."
