Watauga Dam Campground

Visited Watauga Dam Campground for the first time. It was truly enjoyable. Very scenic. Very quiet!!! Lots of wildlife to view. We were lucky enough to spot 2 bear cubs, and many birds. Fellow campers were friendly and courteous. Campsite managers were very nice. Bathrooms and shower very clean.

What should’ve been a two day stay ended up to be six days waiting for our truck to be repaired in town. The staff and the campers there couldn’t be more helpful. They arranged so we could stay on our site the whole time we were waiting on the truck. One of the best things about this campground, besides the beauty of it is that it has no WiFi reception. Totally off the ground grid which I found extremely liberating and peaceful. We fell in love with this place and will be back!

You will not find a more peaceful and relaxing place that is so isolated yet close to everything. The natural beauty of the area is breath taking. The rv sites are large and easy to get into. The grounds and bathhouse are well maintained. The staff are friendly and have always welcomed me like I'm coming back home. The more I stay, the less I want to leave.

Serenity and beauty at this campground! Hosts were helpful and kind-came by a couple times a day to pick up our trash. Took the canoe out on the river right from our campsite and enjoyed the ducks and geese that floated by. Beautiful waterfall and even a black bear sighting right across the river. Glad he stayed on his side. Totally off-grid but could drive a couple miles to connect when needed. Would definitely return here for a peaceful escape.

One of our favorite campgrounds (this review site is geared toward hotel, but we camped in our RV). Spent our time relaxing and enjoying the mountains and Watauga river. VERY well maintained, excellent very friendly staff/hosts.

Campsites very well maintained. Bath houses are clean and well stocked. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. This is now one of my favorite campgrounds. Watch out for goose poo on the riverbank.
