We recently stayed 4 nights just prior to Memorial Day. Our site was 44, right on thee water in a cove, shaded and clean. Lake is beautiful and enjoyed the early mornings very quiet. I was impressed that the seasonal campers kept their sites neat and clean. The 2 bathhouses I visited were very clean. We rented a paddleboat and the 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed it. Our site could have been a bit more level but was within my reach. I have Verizon and only had 1 bar of LTE, enough for calls and email but little or no Youtube viewing. Overall we will be back!

Came to look around and see the area to determine if we wanted to potentially bring our camper here. We got out to look and a very rude old man on a side by side smoking a cigar came up and started questioning us like we were trying doing something wrong. We didn't even have time to explain we were looking around before he told us that it was a private area and we couldn't be here unless we were visiting someone here. He even asked us who we were visiting here trying to be a smartelic. We just got in the car and left.

Although I live only thirty minutes from this campground it was our first time camping here and I’ve got to say that we were really pleased. It’s a beautiful, well maintained campground on Watts Bar Lake. The sites are spacious enough and there is plenty of shade along with great views of the lake. Just a great campground, I don’t know why we’ve never stayed here before but I’ll guarantee we will be back.

This place is everything that they tell you in the brochure. The people that run the place are great and even go the extra mile to help you. The grounds are clean, free of trash, and very well maintained.The views are amazing ! Rental equipment is well taken care of. I can't say enough nice things about the place. I'm handicapped. When I was speaking to the woman about which site to rent she helped find the perfect place for me! I have been back three more times and I still get the best service. This campground is in my top five for Tennessee.

We have camped here for the last 10 years. We have been seasonal campers for the last 7. It is truly my home away from home. I love Kim and Andy. They are professional, yet friendly and personable. They handle issues quickly and fairly. I am so excited when April comes around and sad when October comes. This is the place where my families' memories are made EVERY summer. My son loves to kayak the cove, we wake board and surf. My dad comes to sit and relax. My daughter loves the playground. I love playing bocci in the sandy beach area at the swimming area. My husband loves to play corn hole with
