Why Camp Near Morganton?
Things to Do Near Morganton, Georgia
Lake Blue Ridge is the whole story in Morganton — a 3,290-acre reservoir with 60 miles of shoreline, and Morganton Point is the only developed access point directly on the water. Swim from the designated beach, launch a kayak or paddleboard, or cast a line for bass, all without leaving the campground. Trails along the shoreline wind through the Chattahoochee National Forest for those who'd rather hike than paddle. Downtown Blue Ridge is close enough for a dinner run, and Mercier Orchards makes an easy detour for apple picking and cider. The Appalachian and Benton MacKaye Trails also pass near town for hikers looking to log some serious mileage.
