The campground provides basic amenities including picnic tables, fire rings, and lantern posts at each site.

Located just a quarter-mile from the entrance to Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest, Rattler Ford serves as an ideal base for exploring this old-growth wilderness.

Situated 15 miles northwest of Robbinsville, North Carolina, Rattler Ford Group Campground is perfect for those seeking a remote forest getaway. The campground's proximity to scenic mountain roads, pristine streams, and extensive trail networks makes it a popular choice for groups interested in hiking, fishing, and immersing themselves in the natural beauty of the southern Appalachians.
