Morganton Point

We really enjoy the walk-in sites A-F. A & D have the closest assigned parking. We've been in E&F and it made quite a difference in terms of lugging things from the car to the site, and having to keep going back to the car to get things you left there. C & F are the most private at the tip of the peninsula. D,E,F overlook the beach side in the summer. A,B,C are on the quiet cove side, and in the summer, have a nice private swimming hole (the lake seems to get quite drained after Labor Day, making camping there not nearly as enjoyable or pretty, but that is true of all the lake areas in the region.). Kayak & paddle board rentals are $20/hour which is steep ($3/minute....really?). But given the pain of having to bring these items or the likelihood of getting your money out of a new kayak or paddle board, it's probably still worth it. There is. a gift shop but there wasn't much there in terms of ice cream. Plenty in the gift shop for general camping supplies, float toys, etc. Maybe the freezer had been picked over by the time we got there? We enjoy going to Swan Drive-In during our camping trips. It's nice to be so close to stores. Ice at Dollar General is $2.35 I believe (as of 7/23) and is a 3 minute drive. We had an issue with ants getting into our sealed bins (shouldn't have brought donuts!!). I would recommend putting all of your food in sealed ziploc bags. Since there is no electricity at these sites, I put my phone in airplane mode to preserve battery.

Beautiful and well maintained campground. I stayed in a spacious tent site with privacy, a path to the lake and plenty of room for my rent, chairs, etc. The only issue I had was a boat pulling up and parking and people walking thru my site and around my tent in the middle of the night and again the next day. Didn’t speak and walked in and out like they were paying to stay there when I think it was from the day use and they were moving around the campsite and lake. Staff was helpful upon check in and available if needed. Dogs barking non stop the one day. I walked up to see if the owners were around and it seemed to be coming from the host camper, but not sure. It would be nice if that could be monitored and addressed if several hours of incessant barking. Ruins the experience for everyone. Besides that it is a lovely campground in a beautiful part of Georgia!

Bathrooms were clean, frequently cleaned. The host staff were polite and helpful.

Beautiful campsite, right on the water. Hosts were extremely welcoming and helpful. Restroom facilities were very clean.

Vary nice campground. Sites have privacy, electric and water were solid, bathhouse very clean. Camp hosts very nice. Enjoyed this peaceful park. Busy on the weekend, but fun.

That was my second time to camp at Morganton Point. Love the campground and the lake is beautiful. Nice and cool at night.

Excellent place to stay

We had site E in the walk-in section. It was hard to find asnwers to some very specific questions I had when booking so here’s what I found. The parking lot is a very short and easy walk to the site, maybe a couple hundred feet at most. There is a water spigot in the middle of this group of sites and was directly across from ours and easily accessable. The view of the water is great with little obstruction. Access was pretty easy but quite rocky and we were able to get kayaks in the water just fine. Just watch the ankles. Last, the bathrooms were like a 10/10 for a campground. They were heated (it was chilly when we went), and surprisingly quite clean. They do have showers! Wish we knew adead of time so we didn’t stink when going into Blueridge. Anyway, they sort of set the standard for campground bathrooms. Downtown Blueridge is only about 10min away making it easy to go hangout there for the day. All in all, great campground and can’t wait to book again!

I have been camping there for years. The host are great and keep the place clean.

Nice, clean rest rooms and showers. Camp grounds were well kept. Hosts were nice and friendly. Have stayed there many times and have yet to have a level campsite. Wish that could be helped.
