Melton Hill Dam Campground — Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)

The park was taken over by the TVA 3yrs ago. Since then they have gone solar and done a fair amount of upgrades around the park. They are currently building another bathhouse (Bravo!) currently there is only 4 restrooms and 2 showers (including public) per gender for the entire park. The sites dimensions are not the same for every site. We originally had site 48 but my large tent 13x20’ (large family) wouldn’t have a chance to fit on that pad, and no other room beside the pad for it to fit either. They were VERY understanding and aloud us to move to site 19 or 20 (our choice, which ever fitted our needs) that was very kind of them! We chose site 19 due to the forecast of rain as it was on top of the hill vs on a plateau between hills. Our large tent still didn’t fit on the pad but we were making it work (until the poles snapped 😞 but, that obviously isn’t their fault). The new tent just fitted on the pad. But then the fire ring is only 1.5’ away from our new tent that - it really needs moved next to the charcoal grill that they provided. Swimming is also only in its one designated spot ( I missed that when scheduling). SUPER busy and loud on the weekend but during the week it was kind of nice. Super friendly staff!

Enjoyed our stay. Cell coverage wasn’t great. Quiet and pretty near the lake.

Enjoyed our stay. Friendly staff. Bathhouse needs a better cleaning. Cobwebs all over in the shower and stalls. Other than that it’s a nice place to camp. We will be back.
