Hidden gem. Great facilities, lake is Hawaii warm. Some of the sites are a steep drive in/out, 4x4 definitely bailed us out as we were towing a trailer lol!

Wonderful camping experience with our family! We did have a major issue one night that I wanted to address - it became a good thing!

Midway through our camping there, it started to rain. Some were inside the camper cooking, while I was outside under the awning. Then we lost power. I checked the connections, and the pedestal was working. So I checked the cord coming into the camper. It would not come off the camper...because it had apparently arched for some reason and was melted together. I was able to take them apart (after disconnecting all power). Fortunately, we were okay, and there's was no fire.

The managers, Jesse and Katy, stopped by and we told them what happened. Jesse gave a few suggestions and offered to help in any way. When I completely disassembled the cord, I brought it over to the camp host, Allen, to see if he could assist. He, too, made a couple of suggestions, including information about where to buy a new 30-amp cord and inlet for the RV. He also said he would help with rewiring the new inlet.

The next morning, I drove about an hour away to Ellijay, GA, where was able to purchase a new 30-amp cord, inlet for the RV, and a surge protector. Allen came over and assisted me with the install. We were concerned there might be further damage inside the electrical system, but he used his electric gauge, and we were running fine.

I am certainly grateful for the support of Jesse, Katy, and Allen. Leaders and camp hosts like this are quite special, and we certainly appreciate their help. Already looking forward to our next camping excursion to Morganton Point...just without any electrical issues!!!

Thank you much,
Bill Davis

Beautiful and Well-Maintained Campsite
We had a great experience at this campground. The entire site was clean, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. The restrooms were especially impressive—very clean and well-kept throughout our stay.

We stayed at Site 33, which offered excellent access to the lake—perfect for enjoying the view and quick water activities.
If you're tent camping at this site, just a heads-up: you'll need about a 75 ft hose and power cord to run water and electricity down to the campsite from the hookups. Not a big deal, just something to plan for.

Overall, highly recommend this spot and would definitely return!
