About
Doe Mountain Recreation Authority campground, a Tennessee public authority. Reported at its June 2026 reopening as 9 full-hookup RV sites, 6 individual tent sites, 1 group tent site and 3 cabins, though the authority hasn't published a complete count and its booking system shows only part of the inventory, so no total is recorded here. Bathhouse access. RVs are limited to 20 feet at present because of bridge restrictions. Pets welcome at RV and tent sites but not in the cabins.
Fees
Standard RV $40/night, premium RV sites 6-9 $45, accessible cabin $85. Tent rates not published.
