"We had booked a site at a nearby Asheboro campground, but when we arrived it was awful and we decided not to stay. I got on the phone with Jellystone, and they were very accommodating."
"I would recommend renting the “off road” golf cart for fun. The only negative is the lack of bath houses."

"Our site had a great view of the beautiful lake. There was a pool our kids could swim in until 7:00pm. They let us borrow a metal fire pit so we could make s’mores."
"This site along with sites 8 and 9 have electric so I was able to run an extension cord into my tent. This site has gorgeous views of the lake and seems to share a grill with #11. "

GuideDriving 14 1/2 hrs I was cooked called and had the most easiest booking. There was a sites available so I booked it. Needless to say I got there in the dark and a kind person helped me to my site and got me backed in. Soo exhausted I hooked up electric only hit the bed passed out
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
RangerWas a monthly Camper when I came in to the campground. Nobody was cleaning the men’s room. No one was trying to collect the fall leaves. This is an old run down campground. I cleaned the men’s room for free because there was no staff to clean. I regret helping the owner for free on multiple occasions.
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.
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.
ScoutReally fantastic spot to camp! Great sites and hook ups (no sewer, but EASY dump station)! Go for Loop B - it has the beach.
TravelerI don’t have any complaints about this campground! Sites are nice and feel like you aren’t close to anyone else. Very pretty area, quiet. Newest bathhouse I have ever seen at a state park! Awesome showers.

Visit High Point City Park: Oak Hollow City Campground provides access to urban amenities while maintaining a natural setting. "We tent camped on Aug 28.

Elevated platform tents: The unique safari-style accommodations at Basecamp Outdoors provide a distinctive yurt camping experience near Asheboro. "Basecamp_Outdoors has an awesome elevated camping experience you need to experience!" notes Jake C. about Basecamp Outdoors.
Creek-side camping: Several campgrounds feature water-adjacent sites. "This park has a wonderful creek running through the middle of it and most short-term sites back up to it. The creek and nice natural landscaping of the park are very worth it. The owners have done a fantastic job over the years with this piece of property, keeping that mountain forest feeling and just tweaking nature a little," explains Ruth P. about Moonshine Creek Campground.
Amenities for extended stays: Thousand Trails Forest Lake offers facilities for longer visits. "WiFi at this park is outstanding, over the air TV reception is good, and the laundry facility was excellent & cheap...$1.75 per load to wash & $1.00 to dry," reports Corby M. about his stay at Thousand Trails Forest Lake.
Seasonal construction: Some campgrounds undergo regular expansions. "The campground is being expanded, but the construction did not bother us at all because we could hardly hear anything going on and there wasn't a lot of construction equipment activity to interfere with our camping experience," mentions Corby M. about his visit to Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park.
Site leveling challenges: Prepare with adequate leveling equipment. "The only complaint I have of this campground is that some of the sites have some some tricky slopes. Took some time leveling my rig, but turned out great," advises Robert N. from his experience at Jellystone Park.
Limited bathhouse facilities: Check bathhouse locations when booking. "Although we have a full bathroom in our camper we typically use the showers at the campgrounds. There were only 2 bathhouses in the campground," notes Rebecca F. from Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Asheboro.
Plan for the right campground loop: Research specific loops for the best family experience. "C loop felt like the smallest loop and really close to the entry hiking trail. Behind the site is a great little 'valley' to explore if you have kids/dogs. Has awesome trees for hammocks and the tent pad doesn't slope," suggests Jennifer R. about Morrow Mountain State Park.
Consider proximity to attractions: The NC Zoo is accessible from multiple campgrounds. "We were 15 mins from the zoo which was amazing. You're close to stores and restaurants if you want but far enough out that it doesn't feel close," says Tucker M. about his family's experience at Jellystone Park.
Look for kid-specific activities: Some campgrounds offer structured programming. "This campground has plenty of room to park and activities to do. The staff is great and the owner is open to suggestions to make this campground great," reports Robert N. from Jellystone Park.
Highway noise considerations: Some convenient campgrounds come with road noise. "Easy on-Easy off access to several major highways which is exactly what a KOA Journey describes! The staff is welcoming, friendly, and very helpful! Was greeted immediately, given a nice bag of goodies and taken to our site within minutes!" mentions Wendy S. about her stay at Greensboro KOA.
Site selection for larger rigs: Examine site dimensions before booking. "The rv sites are all pull thru nearly level, big gravel sites. We had plenty of room for our 45' plus toad," notes David M. about his experience at Greensboro KOA.
Hookup configurations: Check the specific hookup layouts. "I didn't like the way they had the waste lines set up, and I kept smelling raw sewage," warns Julie L. about her experience at Thousand Trails Forest Lake, highlighting the importance of researching utility setups beforehand.
