Camp grounds and float was great. Wasn't super packed, the owner let us get a spot tucked in some woods. They also have spots right on the river, or closer by the check in, there are spots with electric and water. The owner was friendly, and was okay with bringing our dog on the float. We brought our own kayak and paid to have them shuttle. The boat landing with access to the water is right by camp sights, and you can buy wood for the night at lodge. Also if you do need to buy any drinks, food, etc then all local the stores are just right down the road. This place is close to the highway bridge so it's nice to be camping but not too far out. Fair warning, we brought our own camping grill, but they didn't have one at our site.
The owner is so friendly and accommodating. We decided to have a last minute camp and float trip and the campground was nice and private right on river front.
The river was low so our kayak dragged which is rare for a kayak which does to show the river conditions. Other than that a great trip. I'd def go back again to camp and if the river was higher, float too.
Spent the weekend at the campground. The surroundings, and the privacy, and the fact that it wasn't super busy this weekend, the friendliness of the owners and staff, the fact that we didn't have to pay a quarter for a shower, the distance from the campsite to the water (a few steps) all made this a five star experience. I love this campground. My only complaint is the depth of the river for our float (which is NOT controlled by the campground, that's mother nature) made the float really long. There were two points where there were trees all the way across the river, so we had to drag the kayaks, again, mother nature. I'm sure if you went around a time of high water, the float would be magnificent. The bluffs are really beautiful, and IMHO are way prettier than other float rivers. And the fact that there were so few people on the river made it kinda nice. More peaceful.
The bathrooms could use a power washing and maybe some pest control (spiders) but all in all, for a campground that's been here since 1966, on a lonely stretch of old cut off highway, this is the one. This is our go to getaway. Next time, we won't do the float, just camp and swim, but the swimming area is absolutely top notch. Plus, no shoal runners or boats, so the water is super clear and clean!
We love you Cherokee Landing!!!
I have been fortunate enough to form a business relationship with Cherokee Landing over the years. Camping, floating, tubing, and rafting are just a few things offered at this location. If you are ever looking for shuttle services or a guided fishing trip outside of their coverage area. Feel free to drop Wolf Head Outfitters a line.
This is a lot of Fun and very relaxing - especially in the Summer when it is hot. When I have visitors from out of Town I take them on this fun excursion. Come prepared - bring lots of Water (and other Beverage's) and snacks.
One year when my Mom came to visit from Germany I of course took her down the River :) - We had such a great time and laughed a lot.
From time to time she mentions what a great time she had. Unfortunately I moved out of the area so I was only able to take her once. I can really recommend this especially if you have visitors from out of Town.
Please don't litter and leave your Garbage behind.
