We stayed here for a relaxing 3 day weekend. So much to love about this place! We had awesome camp hosts! Friendly, helpful, and on top of taking care of things that needed to be done. The sites are very well maintained. I wish we would have brought our dog, because the sites were gravel, no dirt or sand at all on the sites. I think it was the cleanest camp site we have encountered! Nice little grills, picnic table as well as a fire pit. We had a great view of the lake. We found wonderful picnic sites near the lake too. The office has everything you probably forgot or ran out of. Ice, wood, food items, beach toys, souvenirs etc … It’s not far from Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg or Kodak. But there is a a lot to do right at the campground, especially if you have a boat. The thing for us that knocked off a star was how old the bathrooms are, and how few of them there are. 1 shower per gender in the entire campground. 2 toilet stalls in the ladies room, 1 stall in the men’s. I think there are 40 some campsites, and then there are people that come just for day to go to the beach or picnic. The staff works hard to keep it clean, but they are so OLD and worn out looking. The other thing that contributed to knocking one star off is the dump station. It’s basically set up so that it causes a traffic jam when there is a line. Once you are finished dumping, you can’t leave, you are now in the back of the line of people dumping. Not well designed.

The sites here range from semi-level to really not level. We were originally in site 8 and asked to move due to 8 being steeply sloped, more than I could accommodate with leveling blocks for our camper van. The site we moved to has a huge oak tree providing shade, which is nice. Cell service is present, but weak. Starlink is mostly not usable due to the many trees. T-Mobile on phone alternated between 1 bar of LTE and 2 bars of 5G. Definitely on the fringe here. Verizon varied between usable and barely usable, never very fast. For those working while traveling, this isn’t necessarily the best campground choice.

We stayed 5 nites here and found it very enjoyable. The sites are very well spaced, lots of grass and room in between. Most of the sites have gravel pad with also a small paved area. We were in site 2 which was not water front but had an amazing view of the lake (most do, waterfront or not). Staff was friendly, they have a great , well stocked camp store which serves creemes, there is a one mile hiking trail, and was fun to see the boats coming and going from boat launch. No WIFI but Cell service was perfect so we could use hit spot.

We stayed at Douglas Headwater Campground on our way to TX for 2 days. Upon arrival the camp staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. We were directed to our site, Site #48 and began to set up. Immediately we noticed the site was absolutely massive (probably could have fit 2 of our rig in it. We got parked and settled in for the evening. Site 48 was right next to the water which made for some relaxing evenings around the fire ring pit listening to the waves. All their site are W/E only so there is none with sewer hookups. There is a courtesy dump station at the entrance, which we easily made use of on our way out. This location is about 40 minutes from Gatlinburg, TN, which we did make the trip to one day with the kids. The roads leading to the park can be a little tight at times but is passable without an issue. There is a weight limit sign on the final road heading into the park with weight limit 10 tons however, by the time we could see the sign there was no turning back so we went in without issue. Internet connectivity for AT&T was excellent but our T-mobile could not connect to the internet reliably by this location. There is NO alcohol allowed in the park at all so no beers allowed around the campfire but otherwise it was pretty low key and relaxing. Overall my wife and I really did enjoy our brief stay there and are planning to return again in the future.

Douglas Headwaters is one of our favorite campgrounds due to its big sites and access to the water! Connie, who manages the campground, is efficient and kind. Campsites stay well maintained and clean. If you need use of the bath house they can get pretty warm in the summer months since they don’t have the best ventilation. Double check the amp for the site you are looking at. Some sites only have 50amp, others have only 30 amp, and others have both. No sewer hook-ups but they do offer honey wagon service for $20. You do have to ask for the wagon a day in advance. Of course they also have a dump station. The public boat ramp stays very busy all season, but the lake never feels crowded.

Good location outside of Sevierville, not too far from Pigeon Forge. About an hour from Great Smokey Mountains National Park, if you leave early in the morning. We went and hiked several times and did not mind the drive. Quiet campground, even with the public boat launch at the bottom of the hill. Hosts are great - pleasant, helpful and they enforce the rules with a smile. Our site #2 was difficult to get level, we needed boards under the front tires. But worth it for the view. Only 30 amp and no sewer, so with 90+ temperatures it was tough to cool down our Class A. On the busy weekends, campground power was challenged and we actually dropped to 104 volts at one point and had to shut down our power. There is a 1 mile wooded walking path that was nice for strolls in the evening. Public beach was never too crowded, we liked it. Campfire ring, charcoal grill and picnic tables were all top notch. Bathhouses are clean, but small and stuffy / humid inside. Great campground store here, in case you forget something. All in all, we think it is a really nice campground for families with 30 amp trailers and tents, esp for the price. The pros definitely outweighed any cons for us, and we would stay here again.
