Our Pigeon Forge Camping Options
Our campground has a variety of RV camping options along Little Pigeon River, including Back-In RV Sites, Pull-Thru RV Sites and KOA Patio® Paw Pen™ Sites. Some of these are full-hookup sites for ultimate convenience, and others have water and electric to cover the basics.
The campground also has several Tent Sites if your family likes camping under the stars. Tent camping with KOA is not primitive — these sites have a grass pad and access to water and electricity.
If you don't have an RV, you can choose one of the many lodging options, including Deluxe Cabins and Camping Cabins. A Deluxe Cabin provides a luxurious camping experience with a KOA Patio®, full or partial kitchen and full bath, including a shower. Choose a Camping Cabin if you like classic camping without the frills.
