Cheoah Point Campground, Cheoah Ranger District, Nantahala National Forest

Beautiful setting. The camp spots are very close, but the tent site we picked was awesome! It was a hike up and down steps and slope, but the view and setting was worth it! 14, 15, 16, 17 are water view on both sides - 17 is actually on the point so water on 3 sides. We picked 14 (a little less distance to carry everything up and down). Nice flat spot. Fire ring, picnic table, lantern hooks. We loved it and definitely recommend these sites. The bathroom is a little walk, but not far. Only one parking spot per site in this area, but there is extra parking at the bathroom. Overall we would recommend these tent sites!

Absolutely beautiful views! Great beach area. If you stay in the cabin, bring a blow-up mattress. We loved our time there.

This is definitely a new favorite spot for me! It was not crowded at all, the campsites are spread out nicely, and there IS lake access through little trails down to the water. There is also a swimming area withing walking distance of the campground. Probably some of the cleanest campsite bathrooms and showers I've seen, and all of the roads and trails around camp were very well maintained. We went swimming and hiked in the area a bit and really enjoyed our stay. (Disclaimer: we stayed here in mid-April, so some of the privacy, cleanliness, and lack of crowding could be because it was technically before peak season started. And in reference to a previous review, this is also why the camp host was not there yet.)

Gorgeous, peaceful, clean. We stayed in the first come first serve site 17, which is the best site! There is access to the water to take your kayak onto the lake. It can also be accessed for others, but it is right off the site we stayed at. Almost like our own private piece of heaven. I saw lots of trout swimming but didn't manage to catch any using powerbait, kastmaster, nor rooster tail. We saw a couple of snakes swim by also. The bathroom is kept clean. Several located around the campground. The first come first serve price is currently $20 a night, self paid with cash or check in envelope. It is a very short walk from the car to the site which has an incline, so it is a mini workout for someone who is out of shape. There is a host who kept a caring eye on us. Nearby the campgro

Just north of Robbinsville on Lake Santeetlah. Fresh water faucets throughout the park but not at the site, so fill up before you get settled. No dump station. I had 50 amp electric at the site $25 a night. Also free hot showers. Not far at all from Tail of the Dragon. A great ride is to take the Joyce Kilmer to the Cherohala Skyway, then up through Novore to 129 South, to the Tail of the Dragon and Deals Gap, and back to the campsite. It'll take you about 4-5 hours if you stop and take pictures like I did. What a ride! There is not much signal at the campsite, I had one, sometimes two of Verizon, but that was it. But it was still a great place.
