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 campground on a ridge above beautiful Santeetlah Lake. The area is well positioned for hiking and exploring Cherohala Skyway, fishing, visiting Nantahala Outdoor Center, Cherokee, Tapoco Lodge and the Tail of the Dragon. No hookups were available but the bathhouses were nice and a dump station was available at Graham County Waste Facilities in Robbinsville.

Cheoah campground is clean, private, and well-maintained. The hosts were fantastic to work with as well as very knowledgeable. The hosts also were very kind, professional, and took utmost thought to overseeing that each camper at each site had their needs met and were very respectful to all camping in the campground. We loved the serene setting, the privacy, the cleanliness of the park and the cleanliness of the showers and bathrooms. All of this together made our stay a wonderful, peaceful retreat! We will definitely stay here again! Thanks to all for this wonderful much needed stay!

We reserved site 19. The campsites are on a ridge, high above the lake, which isn't even visible from the sites. The site was full of weeds and unmowed grass, and the campfire ring was unusable as it was full of ash discard and had a twisted metal grate. The worse part of this site, however, was how narrow and close it is to each of it's neighboring site. There is absolutely no division between the sites. It was so bad that we didn't stay - do not recommend!
