High Rock Lake Marina and Campground

4 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

High Rock Lake sits in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, and the marina and campground tucked into one of its coves gives campers direct access to the water from a privately owned facility. The site sits off I-85 close enough for easy arrival but far enough that highway noise does not carry into camp. Reviewers consistently note the lake access as a primary draw, and the campground has a picnic table and swing positioned at the water's edge for sitting and taking in the view.

Sites accommodate RVs up to 55 feet and include full hookups with electric, water, and sewer connections. A dump station, showers, drinking water, and WiFi round out the amenities, along with a snack bar, marina, fishing dock, and pool that Wendy M. noted in her visit. The tradeoff is site spacing: "Sites are a little tight but, the view of the water was very nice." Cell service has come up in multiple reviews, so campers relying on connectivity may want to confirm coverage before arriving.

The campground is open year-round, accepts pets, and takes reservations. Fishing and boating are the main activities on-site, and boat-in access is available alongside standard drive-in entry. Nearby alternatives include Tamarac Marina and Campground to the southwest and Dan Nicholas Park for a different style of camping in the same general area. This campground works best for RV campers and boaters who want full hookups alongside direct lake access.

Campers frequently mentioned the peaceful lakeside location with excellent amenities and friendly staff. Sites offer nice water views though spacing can be tight. Most found it highly relaxing.

Older campground but a beautiful place

The most relaxing camp ground I have ever been to. The staff is excellent. Easy access to the lake. They have a picnic table and a swing set up at the lake so you view it. Some folks reviewed the campground and complained about the roads in and hair pin curves. I really do not know what they are taking about. Road were easy to drive. I would recommend this campground over any I have visited yet. In fact before I left I went to their office and schedule another visit!!

Quiet and very neighborly

This place is nestled into a quiet point on a small cove of the lake. Easy access from I-85 but no so close that you hear noise and experience traffic. Excellent amenities and friendly service. Privately owned. Great rates! I highly recommend this place!
