Dolly doesn't do anything halfway, especially Christmas. Five minutes from camp (2 miles), Dollywood swaps pumpkins for peppermint when Smoky Mountain Christmas takes over, November 6, 2026 through January 3, 2027.
More than 6 million lights blanket the park, Peppermint Valley replaces the Country Fair, and a towering tree anchors the nightly show. Duck into Christmas in the Smokies or another holiday production indoors when your fingers need a break from the cold. Named America's Best Christmas Event for over a decade running, so plan ahead: even the slower nights fill up.
That doesn't mean this area has to always be empty. When you start reviewing camping options, your history will display here to help compare sites and find the best stay. You will be able to share your stay information with friends or family and save it for a later time if you have a KOA Account.
