Located 1 mile from Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Casino and the UltraStar Entertainment Center, the beauty and solitude of the Great Smoky Mountains make this KOA the ideal spot to relax for days or stay the night while passing through. Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate the campground's location for easy access to hiking, biking, rafting, riding, kayaking, and canoeing. Enjoy shaded RV Sites along the Valley River as well as four fully furnished Deluxe Cabins. Guests can wade into the water to cast their lines for trout, bass, bream, and catfish.
