Opening up Anchor Down

Beautiful sunsets on Douglas Lake

We ended our 2015 local camping season at Anchor Down RV Resort in Dandridge, TN. As we were leaving, the friendly owners and staff joked that opening day was only a couple months away. They insisted that we return and last week we took them up on their offer.

It was a chilly but, beautiful, opening weekend at the park and there only a few other campers around. We counted a total of 4 RV's on the lower level including us and handful of others on the upper level. We wanted relax and enjoy the views, but also give our new Ford F-350 Platinum a test run with the Airstream in tow. More on that later. Anchor Down is a wonderful place to visit and kick off another exciting year of travel.

For our first getaway in 2016, we picked Site #41. It's our favorite site and the same one we had in the fall. It includes a beautiful stone fireplace overlooking nearby Douglas Lake with spectacular views of the Great Smoky Mountains. The sunsets from Site 41 never disappoint.

Thanks Anchor Down for a great start to 2016. See you on closing weekend in the fall.
