Catawba Falls Campground

Catawba Falls Campground offers riverside camping with direct access to the Catawba River in Old Fort, featuring RV sites with full hookups, tent camping, and rental cabins—all with amenities including a clean bathhouse, laundry facilities, general store, and playground.

The campground is located just 0. 5 miles from the Catawba Falls trailhead (approximately 1-hour hike one way) and provides fishing opportunities along the river.

Note: The facility is currently operating on partial availability through 2025 following Hurricane Helene damage, with full operations expected to resume by spring 2026.
