4 Beautiful serine group sites on the river, where we could fish and swim in the swimming hole. Has volleyball net and huge open green field in-between the sites. Campground is just 6-7 minutes away from the closest boat ramp on lake and about 23 minutes from the Cheoah Point Beach. About 2 minutes away is Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest with nice hike trail. If you go left on the Santeetlah Rd about 12 minutes all the way to the end of the road, you will get to the Maple Springs Observation Deck which offers breathtaking views, especially beatiful sunrises. If you like hikes that end with a beautiful waterfall that you can swim in, Yellow Creek Falls is definitely a place to visit! There are a lot of places to visit in the area, like Marie's Lavander Farm, Swinging Bridge on Cheoah River and others. This area is totally worth of exploring.Love this place as it offers peace and unity with nature. No cell service (phone, texts, internet). Bathrooms are pretty nice, if your group is neat and take care of the place. All 4 sites share one bathroom building, which is split in 2 sides, left is MEN and right -WOMEN. Bring your own soap (We get big bottles for each bathroom. Also, bring extra toilet paper. Bathrooms are attended by cleaning people about 2 times a week and if you have a large group, would be a good idea to have couple rolls to last if you run out before they come.

Rattler Ford is a great camping site! The amenities are wonderful. The area is quiet and clean. Its a good place to trout fish.

Very helpful host, group campground very nice and secluded, near boating, hiking, Fontana Village, Tapaco Lodge, and the skyway. Only complaint is the not very nice restrooms and the shower water is uncomfortably hot.

Females Bathroom needs an overhaul...paint peeling, private stalls are not private , shower stall has clear undersized shower curtain .

Most of camp areas are mud piles....picnic tables are pathetic.....

70 bucks a night can stay at air BNB. We love the outdoors and love to camp...needs help....

Really nice campsite right next to creek. It has a great fire pit, steps down to the creek, ample parking, plenty of space for tents, and nice tables.
