We absolutely love this place it's beautiful, quiet and very relaxing. BUT we had friends over to our site and they went to leave at 10:15 and were locked in!! there was no number posted to call anywhere. The next day we were told if it were an emergency we would call 911 and the POLICE would call the camp host?? and then she hung up on my husband... I think they should tell you that you will be LOCKED in after 10 and give a number to call when you check in.

Questions & Answers

Do they have cabins there? And how is the tent camping?

Cathy Eberlin | Sep 28, 2018
Ray Goodwin | Sep 28, 2018

Cathy, no cabins. Tent camping is available and each site has its own experience and setting. Prices are very reasonable. There is one water faucet per every 3-4 tent sites. No electricity. bath houses are all within easy walking distance and cleaned multiple times a day. Each site has its own fire ring and picnic table - fires outside the ring are illegal. pets are very welcome.

How is swimming at kerr recreation area ?

Diane Hank | Sep 27, 2021
Judy Bramell | Sep 27, 2021

Just about every lakefront campsite has it's own personal beach. I would wear foot protection because of the possibility of wayward fishing hooks and occasionally broken glass by people who don't respect our beautiful resources!

Is the lake open to swim in today

Yesenia Martinez | Aug 28, 2022
Malcolm Dixon | Aug 28, 2022

The best park to swim is Satterwhite Point. It's a public access park with many places to swim. I think it's $6 per car. However, you may be allowed to enter any campground after paying the $6

Is the lake open for people to swim today

Yesenia Martinez | Aug 28, 2022
Malcolm Dixon | Aug 28, 2022

Satterwhite point should be open. You will absolutely love the entire area. They have a designated swim area, however; you can swim anywhere you choose if no one is fishing that particular area. Plenty of places to grill as well.

Leslie Dean | Sep 28, 2019

There is a small amphitheatre but it doesn't look used. It's got maybe 4 small benches that would hold 5 people. Not sure what you were hoping for but it's just not well taken care of.

Pat Chandler | Sep 28, 2017
Diane Walters | Sep 28, 2017

There are bathrooms at all of the NC lake campgrounds which are right on the water. If you are just going for the day, I'd go to the Henderson Point State Park just off of Highway 39, north of Henderson and very close to the NC/VA border. There are a couple of options there near swimming areas.
