September you can still be hot and humid. That's life in the mid-Atlantic! Later September into October should be gorgeous. Might be chilly, so buy some firewood.
We have stayed at Anchor Down twice and love it, but it is NOT a quiet campground. It is a resort style. Plenty of great views of the Smokys over the lake.
I haven't stayed there, but they have two campgrounds at the Douglas Dam. One is the headwater campground above the dam. They have water/electric sites. https://camprrm.com/parks/tennessee/tva-6/douglas-headwater-campground/?it=parks/douglas-headwater-campground/
They also have the tailwater campground, just below the dam and around a corner. It is right on the river below the dam. https://camprrm.com/parks/tennessee/tva-6/douglas-tailwater-campground/?it=parks/douglas-tailwater-campground/
Very pretty area!
