Camping at Dale Hollow Lake...Folks have been camping at Dale Hollow Lake for generations. They keep coming back to enjoy the place they treasure through the seasons and the people that enrich their lives that they have met at this wonderful place. The gorgeous sunrises and sunsets over the lake, the days filled with favorite activities (or lack thereof), the sounds of nature, the thrill of the grill, and the glorious time shared with loved ones are some of these wonderful jewels. Won’t you make plans in 2010 to experience a little piece of Dale Hollow Lake “Paradise” and create your own lasting memories?

The Army Corps of Engineers maintains several campsites around the lake, plus there are a few private camping facilities – some with limited openings year round. Below you will find additional information about these, plus other helpful information. The shelters make great places to enjoy family reunions, graduation parties, company picnics, church gatherings, group meetings, showers (household, bridal, and baby), and more. Some have even used the facilities to hold their wedding ceremonies and receptions. Be sure to make your reservations as early as possible. The shelters and Corps of Engineers campsites are booked on a first come, first served basis through www.Recreation.gov. There are fees that apply and the information is available through the website. Reservations are necessary and must be made in advance for the Corps of Engineers sites. For the Dale Hollow Lake State Resort Park, Deep Valley RV Park & Trout Farm, Gunnels Fishing Camp, Hunter’s Lodge, Star Point Resort, Sulphur Creek Resort, and Willow Grove Dock & Resort campgrounds, please contact them directly through the information provided below. They will be happy to assist you with all your camping needs. Happy Camping!
