Find Campsites

Campground Opening and Closing Dates : April 16 to Oct. 18, 2010
Some Waterfront Campsites to be Affected by High Water: The water elevations for Dale Hollow Lake will be similar to those in 2009. Memorial Day will be targeted for an elevation around 652 and then hold that level into June until water is needed for downstream requirements. During this time, some waterfront campsites may be affected and unavailable for use. After June a steady withdrawal of water from storage is expected through the summer and fall. Actual conditions will depend on weather and water demands on the Cumberland River Basin reservoir system.
