Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Archdale, NC
Oak Hollow City Campground provides pet-friendly sites with lake views, allowing dogs throughout the property and at tent sites with wooden platforms. Multiple pet-friendly accommodations exist across the area, including Hagan-Stone Park with full hookups for RV campers and tent spaces that welcome dogs on leashes. Ivory Clay Farm's secluded RV spots offer a quiet farm setting for campers with pets seeking a peaceful getaway from urban areas. All pets must be leashed and under control when outside vehicles or camping units. Several campers note the park grounds are well-maintained with ample grassy areas for walking dogs, though Oak Hollow's sites can be extremely close together in certain loops, particularly in sections B and D which function more like gravel parking lots with minimal separation between units.
Hiking trails throughout Hagan-Stone Park provide dog-friendly exercise options, with multiple ponds offering water access for dogs that enjoy swimming. Oak Hollow's lakefront location features tent sites 10 and 11 with direct lake views, providing excellent spots for campers with water-loving dogs. Yellow jacket infestations at Oak Hollow during summer months can create challenges for outdoor cooking and pet management, requiring visitors to bring yellow jacket traps when camping with pets during warmer seasons. The nearby Hanging Rock State Park Campground provides additional pet-friendly options with cabin accommodations that accept dogs, electric hookups, and access to trails. Most campgrounds in the region maintain clean bathroom facilities with hot water and good pressure, though shower curtains at Hagan-Stone may not properly fit the stalls.

Nice and new!
Great hosts, spacious spots, nearby dog park, loved staying here. The bath houses are a little dated but very clean. There is horse shoe, volleyball, soccer goals on the camp ground. I would stay here all the time if I could!

Tanglewood Park
New, Basic, but Nice
We only stayed for 1 night as we were passing through, but we plan to return one day.
Positives are it’s a newer campground, nice and shaded, full hookups (w,e,s), lots were wide, Easy to get in and out of, plenty to do within the park (hiking, fishing, kayak/canoe, etc), has a nice dog park, hosts were very welcoming and kind, VERY clean.
Negatives are unlevel lots (we had to lower ours by over 4” and still weren’t level, but couldn’t adjust anymore), sites aren’t exactly private - but there was a bit of space between sites.
Marjorie W.GuideTanglewood Park
. Beautiful place
Beautiful place. At $35 a night, there is a lot to enjoy. The only thing you need to be aware of is that some of the sights are very slanted. Very tall levelers are needed. But they do have cable, wifi(that’s ok) a dog park and lots more. It’s worth it.

Tanglewood Park
Excellent County Park with Plenty to Do
This is our local park so we're a bit spoiled. It was perfect for our first outing in our new 34' travel trailer. Plenty of shade in the campground which unfortunately makes backing a challenge in some sides dodging the trees. The park has great mountain biking, walking/hiking trails, horseback riding, gold, swimming, playgrounds and a great dog park. It's the place we go on the weekend as locals and a great place to visit for campers. Hosts were extremely friendly and do a fantastic job keeping the sides clean and cleared of even the smallest twigs and branches from the tree.
Ariel F.GuideLake Myers RV Resort
Packed but quiet off season
We had a nice time visiting Mocksville. There are a lot of cute restaurants near by.
We stayed here as part of our thousand trails membership.
The campground is mostly annual people with permanent lots. We don’t mind that at all. Those types always seem to be laid back and quiet. The spots are really close together. And the roads are sooo narrow.
The dog park was nice and walking the park was relaxing.
Unfortunately a lot of the activity type things (arcade, mini-golf, horseshoes, etc) weren’t available because we visited in the off season. Bummer but to be expected even though we had super nice weather.
Not really the campgrounds fault I don’t think, but there were SO MANY FLIES. I spent the weeks killing the ones that snuck in. So annoying.
We visited with our 33’ travel trailer. Site D64 is plenty long but has the y of the road surrounding you. Verizon service has 2 bars. Occasionally got a little spotty while working, but our hotspot worked enough. Streaming did get dicey.

RangerCedarock Park
Hidden gem for a quick outdoor getaway
Cedarock Park, located in Burlington, North Carolina, is a hidden gem for all sorts of outdoor activities. The park offers hike-in camping with a handful of sites scattered along Rock Creek. The sites are well spaced and can accommodate large groups (you only pay $1 for each additional person for groups larger than 10). The park is also home to 6 miles of hiking trails and 6 miles of equestrian trails. There are two fantastic disc golf courses (I personally enjoy the Wellspring course) and even a historical farm that sheds light on what life was like as a farmer in 19th century North Carolina.
Katy S.RangerHanging Rock State Park Campground
One of the most diverse state parks in NC
Hanging Rock is one of the best state parks in North Carolina. With breathtaking views from the cliffs, miles of hiking trails, a lake, and 5 waterfalls, it can keep you busy for a few days, or just over a weekend. I have been to the park throughout the year, in sunshine, rain, and snow, and always enjoyed it. I stayed at the family campground a few times. I usually book sites 3, 4 or 6 - they are spacious and conveniently located close to the bathroom as well as the hiking trail and the little stream behind the campground.
The sites are bigger than you would expect from a typical state park campground. The bathrooms and showers are clean and nice. The host is very nice.
Chip G.GuidePilot Mountain State Park Campground
Off for the hills.
I left the flat of eastern North Carolina and headed to the mountains to our west. Pilot Mt. State Park has a nice campground and some good hiking trails. Camping on the rocky side of a hill is different from the coastal flat lands I am used to.
The hiking trails are good and the round trip from the campsite, around Pilot Mountain and back provided for a nice day hike. There is also a 5 mile trail connecting the upper and lower parts of the park. I didn't have a chance to walk that one, but then it is always good to have a reason to go back.
Facilities were clean and in good shape.
Guide to Archdale

What to do
Hiking through state parkland: Hanging Rock State Park Campground provides access to multiple hiking trails of varying difficulty. "The hiking trails at Hanging Rock are absolutely top-notch! We explored several of them, including the trail up to Hanging Rock itself, and were blown away by the panoramic views from the summit," writes David N. The park features 8,000+ acres with trails to waterfalls and mountain views.
Farm exploration: Visit Ivory Clay Farm for a rural escape just minutes from urban centers. This working farm offers a chance to observe agricultural practices while camping. "This is a great relaxing get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life! We love relaxing & enjoying the bonfires, sunsets, wildlife & star gazing," notes Kevin E.
Water activities: Several campgrounds offer access to lakes and ponds for fishing, swimming and boating. "There is a nice large K9 park. Playground. The best WIFI we have experienced and many free antenna tv channels," reports David M. at Greensboro KOA, which sits within 20 minutes of Archdale and offers various water activities for campers with pets.
What campers like
Privacy between sites: Campers appreciate sites with good separation at certain dog friendly campgrounds near Archdale. At Thousand Trails Forest Lake, "The camping sites are close together, but, that seems standard in these types of campgrounds. People seems friendly and the staff were professional," explains Joel M. The campground maintains grassy areas ideal for walking dogs.
Family-oriented activities: Zooland Family Campground receives praise for its organized events. "Absolutely the most fun we've had on a campground. Tons and tons of things to do. We initially thought we'd have to go off site to entertain our son when we booked the reservation but we spent our full day at the campground doing everything they had to offer and it took all day long," says Clarissa H.
Wildlife viewing: Many campers mention deer sightings and bird watching opportunities at local campgrounds. "Deer roam throughout the park and campground. Clean bath/shower. Easy check in with multiple host on site. All sites paved," mentions Brandon at Tanglewood Park, reflecting the natural habitat maintained even at developed campgrounds.
What you should know
Site leveling challenges: Multiple reviews mention uneven sites requiring preparation. At Tanglewood Park, "Sites are long and wide but some have quite a slope to them. There are large shady trees but no vegetation between sites," notes Kristy Gary B. Bring extra leveling blocks, particularly for larger RVs.
Seasonal considerations: Yellow jackets appear during summer months at several campgrounds. "What a lovely campground. Sites are long and wide but some have quite a slope to them," reports Kristy Gary B. about Tanglewood Park, which operates seasonally from May 1 to November 15.
