Douglas Tailwater Campground

Such a lovely, peaceful campground! The couple who manage it are very kind, genuine people as well! You can just sit at camp and cast your poles, or head into Sevierville for some rainy day fun. We will definitely be returning next time we are in Tennessee!

Great camp ground and would definitely camp again!

Reservations are online. So make sure you book enough days. Our site was clean, had electric, water, picnic table, and a fire ring with grate.

We appreciate that they are one of the few Camp Grounds within 30 minutes of Dollywood that accepts Tent Campers. The rates are highly reasonable. The Camp Managers were really nice to talk to as well. We appreciate how safe of an area this was. We never did see the Office open. But we were gone most of the day. Not sure what the Office hours are.

Our site was directly across from the playground which our Son absolutely loved. There's also fishing available too. Two bath houses are available and we used the first one. The bath house was clean, well maintained, showers are a good temp. The shower head can be adjusted for gentle spray or exfoliating spray(jokingly said). There's also a lot of accessibility features for people who need that access.

The noise is okay here. The closer you are to the bridge, the more traffic you will hear. We didn't hear any sirens from the dam but did hear a train nearby in the middle of the night. People were generally polite with noise. You'll occasionally hear dogs as this is a pet friendly area. We barely dealt with any mosquitoes here. But blind mosquitoes and ants may bother you. Lots of Fire flies of course! Would highly recommend.

Great time at this clean and peaceful campground.
Great location, 20min to major shops and groceries.
The camp hosts were all super friendly. The bathrooms appeared to be cleaned every day, hot water free showers.
The dam and river were beautiful, great bird watching and walks with the dogs.
Definitely would stay here again if ever back in the area!

Four of us stayed 5 days and had a great time. My granddaughter loved the playground. The campground is very clean as are the bathrooms and shower. The host couple are super nice and helpful. We will definitely be back.

My wife and I stayed 4 nights at this cute little campground. We had such an amazing time there. The managers, Mike and Mandy go above and beyond to make sure your visit is memorable and enjoyable. They go out of their way to visit each campsite and have friendly conversation to get to know their guests on a personal level. They even create fun activities for the kids on the weekends. This weekend it was s'mores and a campfire. The facilities were very clean and well maintained. If you enjoy nature, this is the place to be. There’s tons of great fishing and wildlife. We even saw river otters and a few bald eagles. Make sure you explore the overlook too, for an amazing Lake and Mountain view. Overall, this is the place to stay if you’re visiting the area. Great price, great location and a great time! Looking forward to staying here again
