Notchy Creek Campground

Notchy Creek Campground sits on Tellico Lake and draws repeat visitors for its clean, private lakeside sites, boat dock/launch and family-friendly features like a playground, bathhouses and picnic/fire-ring setups at each site. Many reviewers praised friendly ownership and reasonable nightly rates; some even highlighted an especially helpful manager. Tradeoffs: sites have concrete borders that can complicate backing and there are many long-term residents with only a handful of reservable spots. Utilities and connectivity are mixed — no sewer and limited full hookups reported, and cell/Wi-Fi service is unreliable for some guests.
