"The campground is a great, quiet place. There are not a lot of recreational amenities, but there is pond for fishing. "
"The park is nicely hidden in the trees; it's only about 10 min to Chapel Hill/Carrboro stores, restaurants, etc. The spaces are far enough apart that they aren't on top of each other."
"It's very close to UNC Chapel Hill. The only downside is there is no bath house, but there is sewer and water at each site. Also, The Wi-Fi was super fast."

TravelerSpot was not far off the road, so there’s a bit of noise of traffic but not too bad. There were a couple other people camping. They were all quiet and kept to selves. There were plenty of other pull off spots available, Some with fire pits some without. Felt super safe and at peace here.
ScoutThis is not called vacation campground it’s north point rv resort
GuideStayed in the C loop right on the water. Bathrooms are up the hill at the entrance to the loop. Sites along the lake aren’t private but are spacious.
ScoutVery nice well maintained park with big pull through spaces. Bathhouse are clean and modern. Running a speed test on my T-Mobile phone I got 269mbps down and 6 up. We will definitely stay here again. With GoodSam discount it was $63 a night.
ScoutNice big park with large parking spaces and well marked level spots. Lots of long stay rvs with porches but they are all newer rigs. Decent WiFi
GuideLike this campground. Was a tight fit with our 20 ft trailer but it is super quiet at night. Nearby road with some noise during the day but overall great place to camp. We have seen several people pull in for over nights but left the next day. Will be back. Also make sure you buy a NC hunting or fishing license before you camp here
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.
ScoutWe were able to squeak in for Labor Day weekend. And they are always a great time. Well kept grounds, and really friendly people. The waffles are always a hit and much appreciated! If you can help it- plz don’t skip this spot! You won’t regret it.
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.

Privacy and spacing: Unlike some crowded RV parks, Goodwins RV Campground provides more separation between sites.
