Lake Leamon Family Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Reservations are available year-round at Lake Leamon Family Campground in Wallace, North Carolina, where nightly rates run $10 to $50 depending on site type. The campground accommodates rigs up to 50 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer, and walk-in tent sites are also available. A dump station is on-site, and WiFi is included. Pets are welcome.

The small lake on the property draws anglers and paddlers, with fishing, swimming, kayaking, and canoeing all accessible from the campground. Camper photos show waterfowl and wildlife around the water. An arcade room overlooks the lake, and sites include fire pits and picnic tables. The campground manager, known to regulars as Pops, has a reputation for accommodating guests directly.

Facilities are functional but dated. The bathhouse has limited toilet stalls and only one working shower at the time of a 2024 visit, and there is no HVAC in the bathhouse. Portable toilets serve the back end of the property. As one reviewer put it, "there are no bells and whistles, but you won't miss them." Long-term campers do stay here, though the setup is more suited to short visits. The Duplin Winery sits about nine miles away for a day trip option. Campers wanting more developed amenities nearby can compare campgrounds near Burgaw or consider Nick's Nook Family Campground about nine miles northeast.

Good campground, but outdated.

The campground is in a nice area. The small lake is beautiful and full of fish. It is near a small bustling town with everything you need. The staff is friendly.

The only drawback is that the camp itself is outdated. The so-called bathhouses need a severe update. The bathhouse does not have HVAC in it. There’s one male toilet and one female toilet for the entire camp. There are two portable toilets on the back end of the property. There’s one shower of the two that works and it is a small shower. Do not weigh more than 175 pounds going in that shower.

All in all, it’s a good temporary campsite. This is not set up for long-term, even though there are multiple long-term campers here.

Lovely and Charming Diamond-In-The-Rough

If you are looking for a friendly, affordable campground, open all year long, then Lake Leamon Family Campground is for you. There are no bells and whistles, but you won’t miss them when staying in this little diamond-in-the-rough campground. The manager, Pops as he is affectionately called by his employees and long-timers, goes out of his way to accommodate everyone’s needs and may even bend your ear with a story or two during your visit. From the massive 50 amp Class A rigs, to the aged or new 30 amp Class C Motorhomes, travel trailers and conversion vans to the die-hard tenters, there’s a spot for everyone. With a bath house sporting lavatories, showers and a laundry room; an arcade room over looking the lovely lake, fire pits and picnic tables, diving platforms, fishing, swimming, kayaking, canoeing and the famous Duplin Winery only nine miles away, this little campground is easy on the wallet and a sight for sore eyes when looking for that campsite you’ll want to come back to again and again!
