Morganton Point

Very beautiful place to camp & lake is gorgeous...but if you are camping in spots A-F you need to have a cart of some kind to help bring your stuff in...if not...alot of walking back & forth to bring camping gear in...not easy if you have some heavy stuff like canopies & other supplies beautiful camping spots though & wouldn't hurt to bring a tarp to put under your tent in case of rain ...certain spots in that area collect alot of rain water and leaking into your tent ...other than that will be back to camp but better prepared...if we stay in those spots again

Here is what we liked/loved/enjoyed about Morganton Point Recreation Area Campground. 25 sites have 50/30 amp electric. Awesome, large swimming beach on Lake Blue Ridge with gorgeous mountain views. You can drive to beach and park in the large parking lot and pack a picnic lunch and eat at one of the many picnic tables. Rent paddle boards and/or kayaks. There is a trail from the campground to the beach if you decide to walk there. There are 43 campsites but some were too small for our 32 foot travel trailer. Some were uneven too. We were on Site 20 which was spacious and easy to back up into. There are several sites that can handle larger RV's. We had the chance to see the campground before camping there and circle the sites that we liked. Some sites have access to Lake Blue Ridge for swimming right from the campground. The proximity of this campground to popular Blue Ridge and many other popular mountain cities such as Blairsville, Young Harris, Hiawassee and not too far from Murphy and Hayesville, NC and it is in the tri-state area, coupled with the very affordable price (for electric and water was $31 and only $19 for Seniors) Morganton Point has had the same onsite manager for 6 years plus 2 camp hosts. The comfort station was clean and well-maintained. Good dump station. We look forward to camping at Morganton Point in the future.

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.
