Chattahoochee-Oconee/Morganton Point
Overview
Morganton Point Recreation Area offers a unique lakeside camping experience within the heart of the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest. Situated on the shores of the crystal-clear Lake Blue Ridge, this facility provides a serene escape for those looking to reconnect with nature. It is managed by the USDA Forest Service and expertly blends dense forest canopies with direct access to one of Georgia's most scenic mountain lakes, providing a peaceful retreat from the hustle of city life.
Location & Surroundings
The park is nestled in the North Georgia mountains, just a short drive from the charming town of Blue Ridge. The terrain is characterized by rolling hills and lush hardwood forests that lead down to a shingle beach shoreline. Unlike many mountain campgrounds, Morganton Point offers a rare combination of high-elevation scenery and refreshing waterfront access, making it a standout destination within the Blue Ridge District for scenic views.
Amenities & Park Features
RVers will find well-maintained sites, including several with electric hookups that accommodate a variety of rig sizes. The park features essential facilities such as a dump station, seasonal restrooms, and hot showers to ensure a comfortable stay. Visitors can also enjoy a designated swimming area, a boat ramp for easy water access, and numerous shaded picnic areas equipped with tables and grills, perfect for afternoon gatherings by the lake.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Water-based recreation is the primary draw here, with endless opportunities for kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing for bass or walleye. Just minutes away, travelers can explore the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway or browse the boutiques and craft breweries in downtown Blue Ridge. For hikers, the nearby Aska Adventure Area offers miles of trails, while the Toccoa River provides excellent trout fishing and tubing experiences for all skill levels.
Who This Park Is Best For
This location is ideal for travelers who prefer a rustic national forest setting over a high-density commercial resort. It is a perfect fit for families looking for a beach day in the mountains and outdoor enthusiasts who want easy access to both water and forest trails. If you value natural beauty and lakefront peace, Morganton Point is a premier choice for your North Georgia RV itinerary.

A great spot for a picnic or just to sit by the water. I would recommend going around the sunset time, absolutely spectacular views. You have to pay to park here.

We are staying in a cabin nearby and this beach as a popular choice for our family. Our teenage son loved coming late afternoon for a swim. It’s a bit of a pain the way you pay for parking, fine when shop is open as you can pay on there. Week days out of summer holidays you need to remember to bring a pen to fill in the fee box envelope.

Great place to swim. There are rocks leading into lake bring old Keds or good water sandels to walk in to start swimming, otherwise you can hurt your feet. I have crocs sandels and they float so if they come off you can get them back in the water. Beach is not big but offers kayaks, paddle boarding and canoes to rent. $5 to park car. Lovely lake with mountain views.

Really nice experience and a great beach access with restrooms and a gift shop with rentals if needed. We rented a double kayak for half day at $45 it was a great experience. Recommend to wear shoes there are sharp rocks walking into the lake.
