Pioneer Landing Boat Ramp

Pioneer Landing is the easternmost marina and campground on Watauga Lake, offering uncovered boat slips and RV camping spots in a remote, rustic setting ideal for those seeking a quieter escape.

Located at 105 Cowan Town Road in Butler, TN, the facility provides boat access but lacks on-site fuel and store amenities—plan to stock supplies in nearby Hampton or Butler before your visit.

The property also holds significant local Cherokee Indian history, adding cultural interest to your recreational experience.
