About Anchor Down RV Resort

Anchor Down RV Resort stands out as one of the premier lakeside camping destinations in Dandridge, offering direct access to Douglas Lake and first-class amenities for RV travelers. The meticulously maintained grounds feature level, concrete pad sites with full hookups, and many spots provide sweeping views of the Smoky Mountains across the water.

The resort's centerpiece is a sparkling swimming pool and lounging area, perfect for cooling off during Tennessee's warm months. Their on-site store stocks camping essentials, local goods, and basic groceries, while the cafe serves up breakfast and lunch basics when you don't feel like cooking at your site.

For water enthusiasts, the resort's boat rental service makes it easy to get out on Douglas Lake for fishing, skiing, or just cruising. Each campsite comes equipped with a fire pit, making evening s'mores and stargazing a nightly possibility. Pet owners particularly appreciate the dedicated dog walking areas and pet-friendly policies throughout the grounds.

The location in Dandridge puts you just minutes from historic downtown's antique shops and local restaurants, while still feeling peacefully removed from the tourist bustle of nearby Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The resort's proximity to I-40 makes it an ideal base for exploring East Tennessee's attractions or as a luxurious stopover on longer journeys.

While seasonal rates vary, the resort typically requires reservations, especially during peak summer months and fall color season. The attentive staff maintains 24-hour security, and the gated entrance ensures a quiet, peaceful stay for all guests.
