Rattler Ford is a great camping site! The amenities are wonderful. The area is quiet and clean. It’s a good place to trout fish.

Very helpful host, group campground very nice and secluded, near boating, hiking, Fontana Village, Tapaco Lodge, and the skyway. Only complaint is the not very nice restrooms and the shower water is uncomfortably hot.

Awesome campground! Helpful host. Our site was the perfect size for our group and so close to Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest.

This campground was expensive for what it offered. I reserved Campsite 1 and the path from one of the parking spots went straight into a wet ditch. You couldn’t park right next to the campsite so you had to carry your gear in and out. I ended up just sleeping in my SUV and leaving in the morning. There was only one shower and I’m not even sure it had hot water. I couldn’t find anywhere to fill up my water jug either. Word of advice; North Carolina campgrounds are far superior.

Cancellation policy

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
