From Elizabethton, TN. on 19E go north to highway 91, take highway 91 three miles turn right on Siam Road, go to the fork in the road and bare right on to Wilbur Dam Road, follow signs to Wataguga Dam Campground.
This is a small but wonderful campground. Getting a site can be difficult due to its limited spots and fantastic location. Cell service is limited, but if you are trying to relax that isn't such a bad thing. Amenities are sufficient and always well maintained. Host are always fantastic. ADA sites are available but not directly on the water. We have booked here every year since 2019 when we first discovered it.
Beautiful campground, awesome, friendly people. Camp site right on the river and when they generate it's like natural A/C in summer... I would definitely stay there again.
Our camping trips to Watauga Dam campground are always great. Well maintained, friendly staff. Can’t wait to visit next year.
WOW! Very clean and excellently maintained. Clear beautiful water,
you can kayak or fish right from your site! There is very little or no privacy between sites, but the waterfront location and manicured grassy space by each site makes up for it. We loved watching birds and ducks, kayaking to a grassy beach nearby, hiking up the paved mountain street. Follow the street all the way up with a picnic for the most peaceful overlook. The hosts were friendly, kind, and helpful. The atmosphere was so peaceful. Zero cell signal. LOVED THIS PLACE!
One of the most amazing campsites I have ever been to. Right on the river and facing a mountain of beauty, the campground is small and quiet. Very out of the way and just breathtaking.
