Catfish Lake Campground

Catfish Lake Boat Launch in Croatan National Forest offers a small boat ramp and dispersed camping area accessible year-round at no fee.

The shallow lake is suitable only for flat-bottom boats, and the site provides picnic tables but no potable water, restrooms, or hookups—visitors should be self-sufficient and pack out all waste.
