Melton Hill Dam Campground — Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)

Short stay, hoping to return

This was just an overnight passing-through stay. Will be happy to return and stay longer in the future. A couple of miles off the Interstate but in its own lovely mountain-lake setting. The staff we interacted with were very accommodating, taking our reservation over the phone. We arrived at nearly dark but the site manager was super helpful, even allowing us to swap sites to one that accommodated our hookups better. Hardy “doesn’t tolerate malarkey in the campground” said with a wink and we found it very quiet. The sites are built on a terraced hill with lots of trees. We had a beautiful view onto the lake. The parking area is an asphalt slab and many have a slant to them and will require leveling. There are a mix of short-stay and longer stay sites. The picnic tables and grills for our area were up a set of stairs above the RV, the pads opposite were down steps from the RV. Serious speed bumps. Some sites do not have sewer but there is a dump station at the pull-out. The signage for the main dam road which also leads into the campground looks new and does not indicate the campground is on the road. Just ‘Melville Dam, Shipping/Receiving’. We were on the road before the office/store opened so cannot comment there. Older camping design but we liked it.
