Tennessee Valley Authority manages Hornsby Hollow Campground on the shores of Watts Bar Lake in Ten Mile, Tennessee, where a number of sites sit directly on the water and accommodate RVs up to 70 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer. The campground operates year-round and accepts reservations, making it a workable destination across seasons. Anglers and paddlers tend to get the most out of it. Kayak rentals are available on-site, and several sites have direct lake access.
Site spacing is a recurring topic in reviews. Many sites are shaded and gravel-surfaced, with concrete picnic tables and fire rings. Reviewers consistently note that sites are not crowded together, though some spots along the water draw foot traffic from other visitors who fish from the shoreline. Long-term seasonal renters occupy a portion of the sites, which tends to keep activity levels low even when the campground is at capacity. Cell service is limited, and the campground's Wi-Fi signal does not reliably reach individual sites.
Jerry B. sums up the facilities well: "Park is close to spotless, most sites are large." The bathrooms are described as clean but dated. The on-site store is well-stocked, and a two-sided dump station sits near the front entrance. There is a small playground and two swimming areas, plus a boat ramp. Other campgrounds in the Watts Bar Lake corridor include Euchee Marina Resort and Campground and Shelter Cove Marina & Campground, giving those exploring campgrounds near Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) several options to compare. Hornsby Hollow is worth a return visit if lakefront access and site size are priorities.
