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.

Campsites are pretty high up on a hill from the lake, however there is a public access to the lake. Campground surrounded by private residences. Drinking water spouts need to be ran at least three times to get clean water to come out. Cooling breeze from the lake up to the campsites would be great in the heat. Cell service very limited. Bathrooms/showers/bear boxes all good quality.

The sites are extremely close so if you're camping with friends it's fine, but if you're trying to get away from it all, you may be disappointed. There was no gate or check in per se. We had paid for our site online. The bathrooms are very basic and were cleaned daily. There was some traffic driving around the loop during the day and a few cars in the night but overall it was very quiet. You have limited access to the lake itself around the loop.

  • Check-out time is 2 PM.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • 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.
