This is a nice campground with a playground and restrooms. The Point is a beautiful campground on the isthmus that provides some stellar sunrises and sunsets. The fish jump early in the morning within feet of the steep shore. There is plenty of room for several tents and there are several picnic tables.

This is the 1st time that I had ever been there. We moved our church service there, the after preaching we had lunch (had a cook out) then after that we had a baptism. Everybody enjoyed it including the kids. We hope to be able to come back here to have another service and cook out and hopefully more baptisms!! This place is great, really nice, it was nice not going out of town to go yo a nice place like Fort Hamby!!

The staff at the gate are rude and lazy, especially the grumpy old guy. It’s unfortunate that they are hosting this beautiful campground.

Questions & Answers

Should we be concerned about bears near the campground ?

Don Lyons | Oct 16, 2019
Rob Pond | Oct 16, 2019

Any wooded area there is always a potential for black bears, especially if they smell food. I've never run into any in all my yrs of camping.

How is the water quality I'm concerned with all the reports lately of blue/green algae ?

Don Lyons | Oct 16, 2019
Robert Warren | Oct 16, 2019

Water quality was normal 2 weeks ago. No toxic algae blooms or anything. If you're talking about camping I always use a filter wherever I go outside the camper.
