Tucked into the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, Peace Valley KOA is where camping slows down and the setting does the rest. Whether you're here for a night or settling in for a longer stay, you'll find a quiet retreat surrounded by mountain beauty. Located just minutes from Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Casino and the UltraStar Entertainment Center, our park offers the perfect balance of convenience and escape. Spend your days exploring nearby hiking trails, biking routes, rafting adventures, and scenic drives—or simply relax along the Valley River. Choose from shaded RV sites by the water or stay in one of our fully furnished Deluxe Cabins. Cast a line for trout, bass, bream, or catfish, cool off in the pool, or enjoy on-site favorites like the game room, volleyball, horseshoes, basketball, and our one-acre off-leash KampK9® dog park. For even more adventure, you're just a short drive from whitewater rafting on the Ocoee and Nantahala Rivers, the winding curves of the Tail of the Dragon, the scenic Cherohala Skyway, and local cultural experiences like the John C. Campbell Folk School. Pool open seasonally: May 22 – September 8
Max pull-thru length: 70 feet
