Watauga Dam Tailwater

Gorgeous small campground in the mountains with waterfront sites.

This is a quiet campground on a small reservoir lake between two dams. The water is crystal clear but runs between 45-55°, so swimming is not an option. It's stocked with trout and I always have good luck fishing there. The campground has canoes and kayaks if you don't have your own. The Appalachian Trail is a mile away and Wataiga lake 1.5 ml away. In East TN, this is by far my favorite campground. I tried to load photos, but the upload isn't working.

Site#2 is awesome, it's on a bit of a point with water on the sides.
