What Guests Are Saying
Cheoah Point Campground is well-maintained, offering clean restrooms and showers, friendly hosts, and stunning views of Santeetlah Lake. The campground provides a serene and quiet atmosphere, making it ideal for relaxation and outdoor activities like hiking and fishing. However, some sites are quite close together, and access to the lake and potable water could be improved.

Very nice, well kept campground on beautiful Lake Santeetlah. Modern fire pits, lantern hangers, huge picnic tables and electric hook-ups for RVs. Tent pad with all sites, even the RV sites, and well spaced trees for hammocks. Modern flush toilets and showers. About as nice as campgrounds get. The only con was the sparsity and location of fresh water sources. Otherwise, wonderful camp!

I read reviews on how crowded the spacing was but............wow. I couldn't start a fire in the fire ring for fear of catching the rig next to me on fire!!

This is one of the most beautiful camp sites we have stayed at. I have always loved National Forest sites and this one is top notch. The bathrooms are nice and toasty. The RV sites are definitely a bit close, but the views and friendly neighbors made it worth it for us. Be prepared that backing in takes a bit of experience. The tent sites and beach are gorgeous. Great spot to tow your motorcycle to and enjoy the amazing surrounding roads.
