J.C. Cooper — Kerr Lake State Recreation Area
Reviewed Jun. 15, 2021

Nice spot on NC/VA Border

I've only camped here twice, both times on Memorial Day weekend. Our campground was in the JC Cooper campground area. I think that this isn't fair to this campground because each time its just been too dang busy. I assume that on a non holiday weekend it wouldn't be nearly as bad as when I've been. The lake really is beautiful, though again, busy when I've been there. The bathhouses are always in good shape, with toilets, sinks and showers (and in this post COVID time, smelled of cleaning solution/bleach). When here I've only been in the trailer/electric areas. We're normally tent people, so all this trailer stuff is A LOT for me! If you know what I mean. Sites are generous, but closer together then I prefer. I'd try to camp here again, but mostly in an area where more tents were. Some of the spots along the lake looked nice, though I think I'd struggle to find a flat enough spot on some of them.
