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.

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!

The nicest location with the worst kept restroom/shower facilities of any campground I have ever stayed in.

My reserved site was occupied when I got there. Host told me to take next one over. Then the person who reserved that one showed up. Luckily everyone was accommodating but the people who took my reserved spot should have been told to move. The sites were too close and had too many cars, trailers, boats, motorcycles, and tents in them to be a quiet, natural experience for a national forest. People next to us were noisy until 2am.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

- 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.
