6 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several cabin rental options exist within state parks and private campgrounds around Aberdeen, North Carolina. Moccasin Branch Campground at Raven Rock State Park offers newly constructed cabins with modern amenities and spacious sites. Sycamore Lodge provides cabin accommodations with full hookups including water and electric service. The cabins at Morrow Mountain State Park feature electricity, sturdy furnishings, and proximity to hiking trails. Most cabin sites include picnic tables, fire rings, and parking areas. "The cabins were excellent - perfectly designed campground with spacious new cabins, fire pit, and new tables," noted one recent visitor to Moccasin Branch.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Pine Lake RV Resort and Smith Lake Army RV Park (for military personnel) offer more furnished cabin options with additional amenities like showers and toilets. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months when availability becomes limited. Pet policies vary by location - many allow pets but may charge additional fees or restrict certain areas. Crosswinds Campground at Jordan Lake State Recreation Area operates seasonally from January to October, while others like Cheraw State Park Campground remain open year-round. One camper shared: "The guest cottages are like little log cabins but modern, definitely setting the pace for quality control."
Most cabins include beds and basic furniture but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely - some offer only outdoor cooking options with fire pits, while others provide indoor kitchenettes. Moonshine Creek Campground features cabin rentals with creek access and nearby laundry facilities. Basic supplies can be purchased at camp stores within larger facilities like Sycamore Lodge, which has an on-site market. Visitors to cabins in more remote areas should arrive prepared with food and essential supplies. Bathhouses with showers are typically available near cabin areas, though their cleanliness and maintenance levels fluctuate between locations.

GuideStopped here after our fiasco with holly bluff. Beautiful campground with trees. Very quiet during the day and peaceful. The only thing we found curious was the vehicle in and right back out activity between 10:30-pm and 1am back and forth to campers that were long term stays. Made nighttime hard to sleep in site 3 with vehicles back and forth for hours .
ScoutLooking for a nice place for a camping getaway? We highly recommend checking out the Deep River Campground in Asheboro, NC. The location itself is beautiful. It is literally on the Deep River and features a hiking trail that runs along the river past the remnants of a historical damn, where a small area of rapids gently swirls around the big rocks spanning the river. There’s also a large lake with a nice grassy expanse for picnics, playing games or just lazing around lakeside. This campground has been around for a while, but it has new owners now and they are breathing some for real new life into the place. They have already made lots of repairs and improvements, and you can see more in progress. There are sites for RVs with all the hook-ups, and great primitive sites for tent camping, several located right on the river. If you don’t have an RV and sleeping on the ground doesn’t spark joy, they have a few small rustic but nicely-appointed cabins. You’ll find two pools, several covered picnic shelters, a playground for the small ones, and several options for older kids and adults to play, like a horseshoe pit and a nice game room. They also have planned activities like movie nights and weiner roasts most evenings to entertain and create community among campers. They are pet friendly and have their own pet mascots on site— a flock of ducks including beautifully colored teals and mallards. We were just there for 2 nights, but I have a good feeling we’ll be visiting there again soon. Definitely worth a visi
TravelerThis is/was marked as dispersed camping but this is primarily an OHV area, with a shooting range nearby that can be heard from some campsites. Most, if not all, of the campsites are intended to be large group sites. The empty site we found was filled with trash, discarded tents, air mattresses, and trashed electronics from OHVs. There's so much trash we would not even be able to take it all out with us if we wanted to. This may be a national forest, but it is not peace and quiet as one would expect from "dispersed and primitive" camping.
GuideThe sites are very large, long and wider at the back, plenty of room for a big group or family. The bathrooms look new and they are clean. Here during the week so it's very empty and quiet.
LegendSometimes you pull into a campground expecting little more than a comfortable place to sleep and discover the kids have already made tomorrow’s plans before you’ve even finished setting up, and Fayetteville RV Resort & Cottages was that kind of happy surprise for our family. Tucked into the countryside of Wade just minutes from I-95, this beautifully maintained resort combines spacious, mostly shaded RV sites (including enormous pull-throughs accommodating big rigs) with cottages and enough green space that it feels remarkably removed from the highway. Families are especially spoiled here with two swimming pools, mini golf, a playground, walking path, fitness center, clubhouse, clean restrooms and showers, laundry facilities and dog parks, while full-hookup sites with 30/50-amp service make Mom and Dad’s life considerably easier too. One of my favorite memories was watching the boys bounce between swimming and miniature golf until that wonderful end-of-the-day exhaustion finally set in, leaving us to enjoy a quieter evening together back at the campsite. Some campgrounds are where you sleep between adventures - this is one where convincing the kids to actually leave becomes the adventure. With the resort offering numerous long pull-through and back-in sites rather than one clearly superior campsite, I’d choose one of the more shaded sites away from the busiest activity areas if your family values a quieter evening. We would enthusiastically recommend Fayetteville RV Resort for families because it’s exceptionally clean, wonderfully convenient and packed with enough kid-friendly recreation to turn what could easily have been an I-95 pit stop into a genuine family camping getaway.
TravelerWe visited Crosswinds campground at Jordan Lake State Park on the worst heatwave of the year. The great thing about this area is that the sites a well shaded. We were about 50 yards from the lake, with the wind blowing we still were comfortable all day. We stayed on Loop A, which is my favorite loop at the park. There’s no electricity or water at the sites. There are water spickets throughout the loop with potable water. The site is awesome! There’s a small pond beside it. The neighboring sites are close, but regular conversations can not be heard.this loop is always quiet even when there are a lot of people, but it’s never been full when I’m there. I didn’t do good with photos except for the food.
ScoutDecent campground in a beautiful location along Lake Jordan. Crosswinds Campground is one of several sites on the lake. We chose this location since the gates stay open all the time, while other sites have a curfew that can lock you out for the night.
The staff are super friendly and helpful. There’s apparently a camp host whom we never met and they’re on the site next to ours (not sure if they’re supposed to greet us or help us get acquainted with the site, but the staff member at check in was great and did all that when we arrived).
Loop C is quiet, very few children, and less road noise compared to the other loops, but doesn’t have the same access to the lake.
Site C50 is conveniently located close to the bath house, has a large fire pit with adjustable grill, picnic table, and hookups for water and electricity. We’re in a tent, so really just use the electricity. The picnic table here should be replaced, as the wood seems to be rotting, but still does the job. There are a few sites in loop C that do have direct access to the lake, but those tend to be booked all of the time. We explored one last night and couldn’t believe it was vacant and how much nicer it seemed.
Bathrooms are not as clean as I would like, but I bring disinfectant wipes to wipe the toilet before use. Showers are fine, but use an annoying motion sensor to turn the water on/off. Showering at night is annoying with the bugs because the bathhouse is lit like a beacon (probably for safety). Waiting for the daytime is a better experience. Also, there isn’t a washing station for dishes, and we do that at our site.
Firewood can be purchased by the staff at the campground entrance; however, the exact same firewood is almost $4 fewer at a Refuel station down the street. Definitely stop into that gas station store for things you might need.
Overall, really good experience staying here, some annoying things, but won’t ruin your stay.
ScoutThe spots are alright but first night got ate up by ants so hadda move and the other spots are good but have no shade and no signal and not mutch to take pictures of so if you wanna have some survival type camping this is a great location.
TravelerIt’s not scenic or particularly private, but it’s clean, well designed, and pumping out shore power to combat the Iowa humidity
Cabin camping near Aberdeen, North Carolina offers accommodations within a 50-mile radius of the town. Located in the Sandhills region at approximately 500 feet elevation, Aberdeen experiences hot summers with temperatures regularly reaching 90°F and mild winters. The surrounding pine forests create natural buffers between many cabin sites, though proximity to military installations means occasional aircraft noise at certain locations.
Hiking trails: At Morrow Mountain State Park, trails accommodate various skill levels with terrain varying from gentle paths to more challenging routes. "We exhausted ourselves hiking and canoeing and much more stuff to do! Nice sites with electric hookups. Firewood available," notes one visitor to Morrow Mountain State Park.
Water activities: Smith Lake offers swimming and boating options from May through September. "The lake was open and fun to play in. Camp ground is quiet and well laid out," shares a visitor at Smith Lake Army RV Park. Kayaks and canoes are available for rent at most lakeside locations.
Fishing opportunities: Multiple locations allow bank fishing with valid licenses. Cheraw State Park provides access to a 360-acre lake stocked with bass and bream. "I really love setting up on the water sites and having my kayak and fishing gear ready to go," reports one camper at Cheraw State Park.
Clean facilities: Bathhouses receive regular maintenance at most locations. "The bathhouse for this area has two toilets and two showers. Each is completely private. There are outlets and sinks in all four," notes a visitor to Moonshine Creek Campground.
Privacy between sites: Many cabins feature natural screening with trees and vegetation. "The campground road is sort of narrow and the sites can be a little tight, making it awkward to back in if you have a large TV and full-size camper - but once you're in it's all good. The creek and nice natural landscaping of the park are very worth it."
Quiet environment: Most cabin areas enforce noise restrictions, especially after 10 pm. "Clean and level site. Fire pit, picnic table and cement pad with full hookup. Many AD soldiers and their families fulltime. They have been great."
Reservation requirements: Cabin reservations typically require 2-night minimum stays, with 14-day advance booking recommended. "Sites were pretty tight to one another and not each site had a fire ring — community fire rings only," explains a camper at Smith Lake Army RV Park.
Seasonal availability: Many campgrounds reduce services between November and March. "When it isn't off season they have cheap boat rentals. Firewood is $6.50 per bundle," shares a reviewer at Cheraw State Park.
Military proximity: Several campgrounds near Fort Bragg experience aircraft noise. "Next to Simmons Army Air Field so, expect whirlybirds at all hours buzzing the CG. All the sounds of freedom are to be expected and enjoyed."

Educational opportunities: Several parks offer ranger-led programs on weekends during summer. "Great place to camp! Quite, clean campground. The trails are plentiful so you shouldn't run out of places to explore."
Easy access water spots: Shallow creek areas provide safe water play for younger children. "This campground is very clean and quiet with lots of things to do, there is a pond to go fishing and the campground has a variety of boats and kayaks that you can use on the pond."
Site dimensions: Many cabin areas share access roads with RV sites. "The only down side is it can be hard to get larger trailers in and out of the park and into and out of some of the sits," mentions a camper at Pine Lake RV Resort.
Hookup locations: Water and electric connections are sometimes positioned away from standard locations. "Dual hookups for sewer connections. Nice water pressure."
Leveling requirements: Several campgrounds feature uneven terrain requiring blocks. "We loved having a double site with my parents. Close to the beach where we sat for hours. Clean bathrooms. Spacious sites. Plenty of privacy."
