County-managed Fooshee Pass Campground sits directly on Watts Bar Lake in Ten Mile, Tennessee, operating from April through September. The campground provides full hookups with electric, water, and sewer connections, plus amenities including showers, restrooms, and a dump station for RVs.
Waterfront sites line the lake from the entrance to the back of the campground, giving campers direct access for swimming and fishing. Several reviewers mention watching fish jump from their sites and note the shallow water with gradual depth changes works well for families with children. The lake provides fishing opportunities right from campsites, though catches tend to be smaller species. A free boat launch on the property offers convenient water access for boaters.
Site design presents some challenges that campers should plan for. Scott G. notes "the very poor design of the water spigot and electric receptacle," with water connections positioned low to the ground near mud and electrical outlets just 12 inches high. Multiple visitors recommend bringing 50-foot water hoses and 30-amp extension cords since hookups may be positioned opposite from where RVs park.
The campground maintains clean facilities and employs friendly staff, with sites ranging from spacious waterfront spots to more compact areas suitable for smaller rigs. For additional camping choices in the region, campers can explore camping near Spring City.
