Cotton's Camp Ground

I don’t know who Cotten is, but whoever he might be, he discovered this little roadside RV parking lot for your RV experience. While a bit out-of-the-way, if you’ve got one of those incredibly large mobile homes on wheels, then this particular RV location just off of I-95 near Moncure may just be the perfect spot for you. With ample slanted and elongated parking lanes for your parking pleasure, all of the sites come equipped with the typical 30 / 50 amp electrical hook-ups, waste disposal and water connections. 

There’s the standard picnic table, fire ring / BBQ, garbage receptacles and even a community fire-pit. The hosts are incredibly nice and offer pricing by the night, week and month. Overall, the community is inviting and friendly and there’s at times some planned activities throughout the week (check with the front desk). While there’s not a ton of amenities to pick and choose from, this location does come with decent traffic-watching activity. 

Near this RV parking lot, you do have access to Deep River and Haw River (both in Moncure), Cape Fear River (remember when Robert DeNiro was a great actor – yeah, that film was made here!), Harris Lake (New Hill) and Jordan Lake (also in Moncure). 

Insider’s tip? I have but a few: (1) for a mean burger, head on over to FAT Juniors Grill; (2) while no one seems to hike in these parts, there’s some decent hiking paths in the White Pines Nature Preserve that run parallel to Deep River; and (3) there’s a great congregation just waiting to welcome you over at St. Matthew AME Zion Church (get there early as the pews fill up quick!). 

Happy Camping!
