Moravian Falls Family Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Moravian Falls Family Campground sits just outside the small community of campgrounds near Moravian Falls in the North Carolina foothills, where Wilkes County's rolling terrain gives way to creek-cut hollows. The campground is divided into upper and lower sections, with the lower loop positioned directly alongside a creek where the water runs three to four feet deep at its deepest point, making it swimmable for most of the season. Sites vary considerably in size and condition, and reviewers consistently note that the spots nearest the water are the most desirable.

The campground carries the feel of a place with a longer history than its current state reflects. A pool and water slide on the property have been closed for years and remain unused. The camp store building and some structures show visible wear. The upper loop runs largely as long-term resident sites, which can make maneuvering a larger rig difficult given the layout. Full hookups with electric, water, and sewer are available, and the campground accepts rigs up to 50 feet, though tighter site spacing and tree coverage at some spots may limit awning use.

Occupancy swings noticeably with local events. During MerleFest, the campground fills quickly, while off-peak weekdays can see only a handful of rigs on the property. The owners, described by multiple visitors as genuinely welcoming, are a consistent positive in reviews. Nearby alternatives include Moravian Mill Cabins and Self Sufficient Holler to the south. This campground makes the most sense for campers who prioritize creek access and low-key surroundings over polished facilities.

Family-owned campground with exceptionally welcoming hosts and peaceful creek-side setting. However, facilities are significantly deteriorated with closed amenities, poor site conditions, and infrastructure needing major repairs.

owners and neighbors were super friendly!

this was our first campground in our first camper and we really loved it. we stayed for a week when we only planned on staying for a night. We were right on the creek they put us in the best spot there was. there were nights that there were only 3 campers there and when merle fest came it was slam full. you can swim in the creek it gets to about 3 or 4 feet at the deepest. it’s really peaceful and beautiful. our neighbors were regulars there and they were happy to help us figure things out when we had any beginners troubles. the owner was a very kind older man and his wife. really enjoyed our time there.

Low in amenities, high in friendliness

This campground is r pop, so to speak. Owners Anita and Ken are some damn good folks who make you feel at home wind that's more than enough reason to come stay here for a while and enjoy the beauty and peace of this great setting.

Small sites, needs a lot of updating/repairs

We visited in April 2021. Our first trip with our new to us camper. We have camped before but in a popup for years. Our site was very small and we could not put the awning out because of trees. I like trees but this site was too small. We were in a upper loop and most sites were permanent campers. The buildings were not in very good shape and the pool/slide was closed permanently. I am giving this place 2 stars but we won't be back. If you just want a place to park it for a night or 2, it's OK.

Ever See Friday the 13th?

If you can get past the fact that the building with the camp store looks like something out of Hoarders, there's piles of stuff stacked up all over inside & out & abandoned boats you'll find that this is North Carolina's Crystal Lake. The pool & water slide have been neglected sitting unused for many years & a haunting reminder of better days. It's creepy, run down, a lawsuit waiting to happen & either needs an overhaul or they need to close. The upper campground looks like it's mostly full timers & getting a rig up there would be a challenge to say the least. The ones that are occupied have stuff piled up outside it & that's also where you find the cabins but considering the state of disrepair the rest of the place is in I'd be worried about falling through the floor. There's an old abandoned camper that's obviously been neglected from the 60's & I didn't even want to know what was waiting on the other side of the bathroom door up there. The lower campground was close to deserted complete with a old van & hippie, a pop-up camper with tent & another pop-up camper with a tarp over it. The only way to distinguish between the overgrown grass & the campsites are the pole with a number on it. If you have more than 2 people you have to put picnic tables together & the fire rings are car rims without the tire. The shower house is cinder block tombs with rotting bedroom doors & the bathroom is several porta potties sitting around. In the back part of the lower campground there was an old building half enclosed/half open & stuff piled up around it. The only good thing about here is the waterfall. I don't make a habit of writing reviews this negative but this place should come with a warning label.

Older small campground

We camped here one night. Family owned. Very very nice people. This is an older campground that needs repair. Mostly long term campers. Convenient to falls. At one time this was probably a very popular place, but pool and water slide have been closed for years. Sites were small and quite muddy.
