At Nicole's urging, we spent a hour on our inflatable kayak paddling and swimming from the rocky beach here in the balmy Blue Ridge Lake waters. It was truly exhilarating and also my wasp sting, sustained earlier in the morning, felt soothed in the water. Our little one was having a ball, as I raced her to closest buoy. Parking can be paid online $5/pp, or in an envelope deposited at the gate. The beach is more rock than sand so bring water shoes. read more

Super fun get away weekend with the family! The only down sides were they could use a few more toilet houses and it was discouraged from going into the water due to high bacteria, but over all a great trip! read more

The recreation area itself was nice. Bring your own chairs, etc. You definitely need water shoes as the ground is rocky in and out of the water. The bathrooms were closed with Porta potties that were not great. The changing room had trash in it. The paddleboard/kayak rental company was a pain in the neck to deal with. The paddleboard they gave me did not have a fin and then when I asked for one with it, they gave me one that was under inflated and told me it would take a while to get it pumped up because their electric pump is broken and they have to manually pump up all their boards. They make you wear lifejackets when the rule on the lake is that you just have to have a lifejacket on the board with you. I do not recommend this business. read more

Great campgrounds- the spots are Spacious you are not on top of each other and many lots have water, electricity. Although we didn't use it it looks like they do have sewer to drop your grey and black water. The restrooms are beautiful, with 4 stalls 2 private showers and 1 handicap shower stall. All the restrooms are heated in the winter- it really is a nice set up. I saw some low reviews but that was before this place was remodeled. read more

I highly recommend Morganton Point Campground! The number of sites are minimal, well planned out & space in between. Ardie made sure we were taken care of when th reservation people falsely led us to believe we could put two campers on a double site and Jennifer ensured we had an immaculately cleaned shower house. Additionally, I accidentally left my surge protector at th site when traveling to th next state. The hosts went out of their way to make sure I safely received it back. Greatly appreciated! read more

We found this park by pleasant accident while looking for a good spot to view the total solar eclipse. As part of the Chattahoochee National Forest, this recreation area is situated on Blue Ridge Lake, and the beach offers gorgeous mountain & forest views. The bathrooms here are well-stocked, although NOT air-conditioned. Separate dressing rooms are available in the same building as well. The small store rents kayaks & paddleboards for half & full days, plus sells bags of ice ($3 for 10lbs), cold beverages & souvenirs. Daily entry is $5 and parking is plentiful! I also saw a separate parking area for camping, but I'm not sure of those fees. The public areas were clean & well-maintained, yet very woodsy. This was a fantastic place to spend an afternoon wading in the lake and sunning in the sand! read more

My boyfriend and I came here for my 21st birthday. We stayed at site 14. Check in was no hassle and the staff was friendly. Our site was a stone's throw away from the lake with an amazing view. They also have a day use area with a beach on the lake if your interested in swimming and relaxing in the sand. They have paddleboards and kayaks for rent, although I'm not sure how much they charge. There are on site bathrooms, which are the cleanest bathrooms and shower I have ever seen a campsite have. As mentioned in previous posts, no alcohol is allowed on the property. You can always go to Blue Ridge (about 20 minutes away) and enjoy some of the bar life if you really insist on drinking (just don't drink and drive of course). It was a really nice and peaceful stay, and I will definitely make my way back there again. read more

I do not recommend this location to my fellow LGBTQ friends. We were targeted the minute we arrived on Memorial Day weekend. We are an older group that just wanted to wade in the water with our pool noodles. We follow the rules and we keep to ourselves. On a holiday weekend, yes, we all had a can of beer in our hands (covered in koozies). I am not somebody who hits the lake often, I'm more of a beach girl, so I did not know that you cannot have alcohol on property. There were no signs. No biggie, right? Instead of simply asking us to put it back in our cars, we were harassed to the point that we had to leave. We were mortified in front of everybody in the water. The gentleman with NO identification, badge, etc. pointed at each of us one by one saying "You! You! You!" etc loudly in front of everybody and then berated us simply for having beer. He said, "The ranger is on his way and I'm doing you a HUGE favor by making you go dump that beer right now!" He spoke to all of us (in our 40's) as though we were children. He was aggressive and threatening. Completely unacceptable. All he had to do was ask and we gladly would have obliged. This gentleman has a bad accent, a Napoleon complex, and a fake fishing hook on his baseball cap. Get over yourself, my friend. read more

First off, this place is beautiful and we loved it! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking. Our family decided to bring dinner and relax next to the lake. Our family members decided to rent their kayak. She said the guy offered for $20 an hour at first then he changed the price to $25. So, she went back to tell us and we decided to go for it. Well, the young guy (again) changed the price and charged us a final price of $35 for an hour. We were going to split the 1 hour amongst our family and change out which he said was fine. Then the young guy who worked there quickly said we have an hour and a half. We all looked each other shock and thanking him. Anyways, we all looked at the phone together and it was 6:07pm. That means we have until 7:37. Long story short, he kept hollering at us to come back in at 6:58pm. When we got in, he told us we were LATE! He said you are 30 mins late! I said, no you told us one hour and it's not even an hour or an hour and a half! How do you overcharge and then rip people off? Be careful renting or buying anything from these people! They don't live up to their word. He actually charged us $35 for 23 mins. If you visit this place, don't even bother to rent or buy from them! However, the men taking care of the lake grounds are very nice! Four stars for the lake but one star off because of the little young guy who overcharge. read more
