Morganton Point

Overall, we had a great experience at Morganton Pointe and definitely plan to return! We’ll be keeping an eye out for a waterfront site next time.

The campground was clean, and the bathrooms were some of the nicest I’ve ever experienced at a campsite. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, and they even provided some extra activities for the kids.

Site 28 could use a little TLC. If you have small children, be aware that there are quite a few exposed roots and other tripping hazards, and the site itself is fairly steep. A small or medium-sized tent would probably work best here. Also, be sure to bring metal stakes, as the ground is very hard and gravelly.

The location is great, too. Downtown Blue Ridge is only about 15 minutes away, and tubing on the Toccoa River is about 20 minutes from the campground. There’s also a brand-new Morganton General Store that just opened right outside the campground. The owner is awesome, and they have a great selection of camping supplies, groceries, and grab-and-go food, which is super convenient if you forgot something or don’t feel like cooking.

We stayed in spot 30, and we loved the forest feel! There is a wonderful trail that leads your way down to a quite cove that is perfect for swimmers and paddle boarding! And there is a rope swing off to the left! If only the water was high enough for us to use it! If you swim across to the left side to look out towards the rest of the lake you can see a beautiful view of the mountains.
Are was clean and bathrooms were nice and spacious. Short walk to the bathroom as well! Great trees for a hammock!

Nice campground with clean bathrooms.

Me and my boyfriend decided to car camp here for a few days, it was absolutely amazing. Each site has its own table and hangout area, as well as room to park. Some of the sites are on the water and have a great view, we got lucky and had water access. There are bathrooms and showers that are cleaned daily, and the staff on property are all very helpful and friendly. There is a small shop on site where there is a lot of supplies a camper might want (nothing too much, dont expect to buy a tent; more like ice, bug spray, pain medication, band aids, etc). Cell service worked just fine for both of us too! No wifi to connect to of course, so would recommend pre downloading movies if you plan to watch tv at night We loved this place and will be coming back in a couple months, cant wait!

Very nice campground and friendly people

the tree at the back of the site leans into the parking area and I backed into it causing a dent in my camper.
When backing in I just saw the water spigot on one side and electricity pole on the other side.
The signage about whether you needed to check in with the host was non-existent, so I just went to my site, as I had at many of the other national forests I used on my 2 month camping trip.
The next day a worker chastised me for not checking in

Not only is this spot naturally beautiful, the camp hosts do an excellent job of maintaining the campsites and facilities. Watch out for those squirrels, though! They WILL steal your food. 🐿️😅

The site was not level at all. It was close to the restroom, which was the only plus for the site. The fire ring was 18 - 24 inches tall which meant you had to sit on top of the picnic table to enjoy the fire. Half that height would have been much better.

Camp ground is lovely, in a beautiful area. The bath house was pristine clean. Which is always important.

We love the lake!
