Watauga Dam Campground

"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."

"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."

"Beautiful campground, the grounds and facilities were very well maintained and the hosts and managers were very kind. Most campsites are on the water, several people were fishing and/or kayaking. There isn't WiFi and my Verizon service did not work, which is fine with me but noting for those who want to stay connected. Sites 1-14 are better suited for larger campers. Some of the other sites can be tricky to back into."

"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!"

"Little Wilbur Campgrounds is amazing. No cell service for Verizon (T-mobile actually works). The water is cold, clean and clear enough to see the trout swimming up to your hook. Great atmosphere for your kids and grandchildren to play and enjoy themselves without worrying as you have great sight lines all up and down the shore/river bank. Great kayaking and canoeing experience. Yes, I'm in love with this location for the past 45 years or so."
