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.

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.

Reservable campsites are nice. We had 23 which was a bit wider than some and next to bath house. I only give 3 stars because the bath house needs work. It was fairly clean but is buggy. The camp ground has power and water but no dump. That limits the time you can stay.

Cheoah Point Campground is situated on a point on the very scenic and beautiful Lake Santeetlah in far Western NC. The views from the lake shore are gorgeous. But as for the campground itself, it is very small and all but 3 of the sites are RIGHT on the dirt and gravel campground road. And the 3 sites that are off the road are tent-only sites that you have to tote your gear down to from parking up on the campground loop road. We camped in one of 6 RV sites and were disappointed in how incredibly close together they all were and how small they were. Each RV site is only about 15 feet wide, very reminiscent of commercial campgrounds where the RVs are packed together like sardines. Furthermore, there are no water hookups at the RV sites - only electric. If you need water, there are spigots spaced out along the campground loop road where you can fill up water containers. Bottom line, Cheoah Point is a mixed bag. Gorgeous scenery, well off of the beaten path, and next to a very scenic lake. But, the campsites totally lack privacy, save for those three tent sites that are off the campground loop road.
