Spend a day or a week deep in the heart of the Appalachian chain of mountains, home of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the crown jewel of the eastern U.S. park system. Swim in KOA's sparkling pool, shoot hoops or shoot a game of pool in the game room. Laze around in the heated and air-conditioned one- and two-room Kamping Kabins or park your RV on large, shady sites. Tents can be found on a lovely shaded knoll. Play each day in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Dollywood theme park, the Forbidden Caverns and Cherokee National Forest, only minutes away. Boat on the TVA lakes, French Broad River and Pigeon River, where you can see the mountains from the water. Bring your boats and Jet Skis. There's no lack of attractions close to this KOA!
