Site 29 was nice other than the narrow vehicle area. Very shady. Path from site to lake where a creek comes out of the woods
Into the lake. Across from a bathroom. It was very quiet. Beautiful scenery. Your camping pass gets you into the beach next door to camping. Nice. Beach.
Rocky but being in gem country, you can hunt for them on the beach.

Morganton Point Campground was as good an experience as always. We have camped there. for, literally, 50 years. There have been many improvements, of course, The bath houses are always clean and well-supplied. I woudl prefer paper towels to air dry, but that is minor. Two major needs to make it really usable for handicapped and the older population are sewage and paved pads. The gravel is extremely hard on arthritic and/or injured joints, for those with unstable balance, and impossible for those on walkers or wheelchairs, thus truly handicapped miss a wonderful experience. It is also very hard for older and disabled to use the dump station. If some sites could be fixed for the disabled, it would be such a blessing for all of them and us. We have noticed this lack more and more as we get older and more disabled. PLEASE see about grants or something to remedy the desperate need. For many older people camping is the only way to afford time away in nature, relaxing from a stress life, etc.
as always, the staff was very helpful and friendly. We always appreciate them. One last comment. The restrooms were being used by non campers fro showers about every evening and maybe other times when we were not at the site to see. The staff was aware of it and did come one evening to speak to some before they showered then checked after to be sure, I guess, that they left it clean. They were back the next evening without a check. I assume it is okay, and I certainly have sympathy and even admiration for those willing to work and even try to stay clean even though they may be homeless. but do try to be sure the cleanliness is adhered to closely and monitored before it gets out of hand. Thanks.

The Park would be excellent, but the last two times camping within in few months is a stray (maybe) white pit bull that roams around and causes havoc with other leashed or tied up dogs that have paid to camp with the family. It is a nuisance as you never know when he will show up.
