Here are the campgrounds that we made reservations for:
1. Whispering Hills RV Park - Georgetown, Kentucky
2. Nashville KOA, Tennessee
3. EZ Daze RV Resort - Near Memphis but in Mississippi
4. Sugar Sands RV Resort - Gulf Shores, Alabama
5. Pigeon Forge KOA - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee
I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with The Pigeon Forge KOA. I am scheduled for site "C" which is a back-in deluxe site, but according to google earth, the site looks very small. I would like to have personal knowledge of this site before we arrive.
Thanks again for the information. Looking forward to another awesome experience.

We didn't stay in Pigeon Forge (it's very, very touristy and busy there, just fyi) but if you're in the area, I do have a couple of kid friendly suggestions. Our kids were 11, 9, and 5 at the time when we visited the Smokies last year.
Drive into Gatlinburg one day and go to Ober Gatlinburg, the parking lot is just before the entrance to the Smokies. There's a chairlift and alpine slide that my kids absolutely loved, not to mention the tram ride to the top was a lot of fun.
We also walked to the the top of Clingsman Dome. It's the highest point in the Smokies and it was a very memorable experience; gave the kids bragging rights.
Also, stop into the first rest stop from Gatlinburg entrance, it's the Chimney tops picnic area. Your kids can rock hop there. It was the highlight of my son's vacation.
Have a great time.
