If you want to be surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in the Southeastern United States, plan a stay with TVA. TVA offers hundreds of campsites among its six dam reservoir campgrounds, available from March 15 to November 15.
All six campgrounds are now managed by Vista Recreation under a concessionaire agreement with TVA. This has allowed an expansion of services that include new campground stores, wireless access, an online reservation system, and more.
Here’s a sampling of what you’ll find at the campgrounds to help you make memories that will last forever:
The length of stay is limited to 21 days during the high season (May 1 to Sept 30) and 30 days in the off-season (Oct 1 to April 30, excluding closure dates). Vista Recreation offers seasonal sites for a monthly rate at a portion of the campsites at Cherokee and Pickwick. Seasonal sites allow campers to stay up to the full season (two-month minimum). See the rate sheets for those two campgrounds to see which campsites are open to seasonal renting.
Other information—including opening and closing dates, rates, rules, and reservation details—can be found on Vista Recreation.
Learn about what’s okay and what’s prohibited before you go to ensure you have a blissful, happy experience camping in the great outdoors. Everyone stays well and plays well when they follow some basic rules for keeping the peace in TVA’s recreation areas and campgrounds.
