Gatlinburg East / Smoky Mountain KOA GUEST SERVICES GUIDE Our beautiful 16 acre park is located on Highway 321 in Cosby, Tennessee. From here it is just a short drive to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, from I-40 via Newport. We are also located just across a narrow gravel road from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, so as you can imagine we have plenty of trees here in the park.

Pet Policy • Quiet, non-aggressive, well-behaved pets are allowed. • There is a maximum of 2 pets per site. • Pets must be on a leash no longer than 6’ at all times even when at your campsite. • Any animals over the maximum will be $2.00 a day. • Owners must clean up after their pets. Anyone observed not picking up after their pet will be asked to leave without a refund. $50 fine if campground personnel are required to clean up after your pet. • Pets are prohibited from public buildings and amenities areas. • Pets that are noisy or show aggressive behavior must be placed in a local kennel at the pet owner’s expense. If the owner refuses, they will be asked to leave with no refund. • If pets are left in camper, while you are not on site, you MUST leave a number where you can be reached at all times. If your pet becomes a problem (example: non-stop barking) while you are away, we will contact you at the number listed, and give you 1 hour to remedy the problem. After that time, if you have not returned to address your pet, we will move/tow your camper so that the pet is no longer an issue. You agree we will not be responsible for any damages resulting from moving your camper. If we are required to move your camper, you will be subject to a $250 fee. • All pets must have up-to-date vaccinations. • We prefer pets be walked in designated pet areas. This does not relieve your responsibility to pick up after your pet. • No outside pet fences allowed. • Repeat offenders may be asked to leave without a refund.
