Nestled in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, Murphy / Peace Valley KOA Holiday offers a peaceful retreat where mountain views, riverside relaxation, and outdoor adventure come together. Whether you're staying for a night or an extended getaway, you'll enjoy a quiet setting just minutes from Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Casino and the UltraStar Entertainment Center. Spend your days hiking, biking, rafting, fishing, or exploring scenic mountain drives, then return to unwind along the Valley River.
Choose from shaded riverside RV sites, many with KOA Patios®, or settle into a fully furnished Deluxe Cabin for added comfort. On-site amenities include a seasonal swimming pool, game room, basketball court, volleyball, horseshoes, and a one-acre KampK9® dog park. For even more adventure, you're a short drive from the Ocoee and Nantahala Rivers, the Tail of the Dragon, the Cherohala Skyway, and the renowned John C. Campbell Folk School.
