LegendChilly good camping
Morgantown Point Rec
Stayed in site 30, Nov 11-13. Nice weather and rain, then the temperature took a nose dive.
The lake was pretty low at winter level. A friend of mine who fished still caught some both days. She said the area near the boat dock was rocky and not the muddy mess the rest of the low level lake was.
The sites are nice sized, the pull throughs are huge. Room for several tents, toys, etc. the views are awesome from most of the sites. About half have electric and there is a walk-in tent area as well as tent areas with walk downs. The tent areas have a centrally located hydrant for shared use.
Every site that I looked at, lake side had trails to the lake. The campground is split into a loop and an out and back section. The latrine on the out and back was closed for the season. The showerhouse on the loop side looked brand new and was very well kept. My only issue was the long walk to the latrine/showerhouse from the out and back tent areas…..do you really think people walk that far …..
There are two host sites with wood for sale. I saw one of the hosts who came to my site to check me in soon after my arrival. He was professional and friendly.
Nearby fuel and food. I have AT&T, only one bar. Fishing, swimming, kayaking and whatever other water sports you have. Be a good group camping area.
