    Deep River Campground And RV Park

    Clean,affordable, and friendly staff

    Took a weekend trip to Deep River Campground in Asheboro, NC. Very well kept, level spots, pet friendly, big rig friendly with pull through and back-in sites available. Full hook-ups (50 & 30 amp). Fire pit and picnic tables at each site. About $40 a night, no deposit required. With weekly and monthly rates as well. 2 pools (currently closed due to covid), game room, store, and private pond. Located minutes away from multiple trail heads. We were on lot 20, which is a double space designed for a larger rig, very private with lots of shade.

    Morrow Mountain State Park Campground

    Well Done Campground

    We stayed at site 84, and stayed in a tent. There was a fire pit, hang hook for trash, and plenty of shade on the tent pad. We had plenty of space between each site as well. Bathrooms were fine with decent water pressure and hot water. I liked the idea of the campground host who was just a few spots from us. This allowed easy access to firewood for purchase. When we arrived at our site at 8:50pm, we were greeted by a super nice park ranger. We felt welcomed and safe.

    Amazing Place

    All of the sites were amazing. Trash cans, fire pits, level spots, picnic tables were at every location. Easy access to the water, playgrounds & hiking trails were just moments away from the camper.

    Oak Hollow City Campground

    We enjoyed our stay

    We tent camped on Aug 28. This was our first time setting up on a platform and it was very easy. 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. The restrooms and showers were very clean.

    Oak Hollow City Campground

    Excellent Value for Tent Campers

    I stayed at tent site #10 for 3 nights.   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.  There are trees perfect for a hammock.   There is no fire ring but I brought my own raised fire pit.   I was told I’d probably need to drive to the bathrooms but there is a path through the woods into section A.  There is no potable water on tent sites and I had to walk to a vacant rv site to get water for washing dishes.    The wifi is hit or miss at this site but it’s there. My cell coverage was good so I mostly isdd my hot spot. 

    I want to emphasize that you so need to check in by 7:30 but after that you get a gate code to use coming in late or leaving early.

    Greensboro KOA

    RV Camping Conveniently Located near Greensboro

    On my way to Virginia from western North Carolina, I decided to stop here. It makes the eight hour trip less tiresome if you can break it up. It is convenient since it is along the interstate. However, staying in one of the cabins at this KOA in Greensboro requires a minimum two-night stay, and they run about$100 a night. The person in the office was really nice and informative, but I think KOA is trying to discourage tent campers. She told me that since it had been raining, the ground was saturated and tent campers don’t like all the noise from the road; and she is 100% correct. Nevertheless, a tent site was my best option. The tent sites are sloped and very small. There is very little privacy since the sites are just about on top of each other. Don’t get me wrong; there are good things about this KOA… for RV campers and RV campers with children. The RV sites are spacious and mostly level with electric, water, and sewer hookups. The cabins are really nice(this being based on staying in a KOA cabin in the past and the exterior looks, which have been updated since I last stayed in one). The children will love the caboose/play area, and there is a large pool, which was actually open. There is also a fenced dog walk and another playground for children. The main bath house is located at the end of the office, and there is another bath house which was closed due to repair(?). Perhaps I’m being a little too harsh since it had poured rain for two days, but being on a small, unlevel, tent site with saturated ground is not my favorite way to camp. There were only brief minutes to take any photos since it was constantly raining. With all this said, if you want an alternative to staying at a motel/hotel/inn in Greensboro to experience the numerous things the city has to offer, this is a good choice for RV campers or for those who want to stay in a cabin.

    Greensboro KOA

    Clean KOA with plenty of Options

    Nice place to camp for a few days - we had a campervan and were surrounded by huge, but quiet, RVs. Restrooms (6), showers (3) and laundry room were kept immaculately clean which is always appreciated! Pool also very clean and well maintained. Only downside was noisy highway next to the campground.....we were surprised that nothing was done to mitigate noise (no barrier fence or wall, no shrubbery hedge, etc). But this is a problem with KOAs everywhere.
    Very nice clerk and staff. Suggestion: add a full length mirror in restrooms.

    Morrow Mountain State Park Campground

    Pretty Basic

    Plentiful campsites, we arrived on a Friday without a reservation and were able to get a spot. There is a swimming pool, but we didn't swim. Some hikes nearby, but far from the swimming spots in the Uwharrie National Forest. No bathrooms near the campsites, but there were spigots with potable water. The tent pads were even and well packed. All sites had a picnic bench and a fire pit with a grate.

Guide to Cedar Grove

The Uwharrie area in central North Carolina sits approximately 600 feet above sea level, creating a moderate climate that's conducive to year-round camping. The surrounding terrain features rolling hills with oak and pine forests, while nearby lakes and rivers provide water-based recreation opportunities during warmer months. Most luxury glamping sites in this region remain accessible through all seasons, though amenities vary based on temperature.

What to do

Hiking trails access: Canebrake Horse Camp offers multiple trail options for day hikers and backpackers. "The trails are nice to walk the lake is beautiful as long as you keep to yourself and you should have no problem," notes a visitor.

Fishing opportunities: The area features several catch-and-release ponds at local campgrounds. At Moonshine Creek Campground, "The creek is fabulous... There are spots to get into the creek" according to a reviewer who appreciated the natural water features.

Watercraft rentals: Morrow Mountain State Park Campground provides affordable boat options. "We exhausted ourselves hiking and canoeing and much more stuff to do!" reports a camper, adding that they offer "canoe and row boat rentals" for exploring nearby waterways.

Seasonal swimming: Several glamping locations offer swimming facilities open during summer months. One visitor mentioned, "They have a swimming pool that is open after Memorial Day" when describing the recreational options at Morrow Mountain State Park.

What campers like

Privacy levels: Uwharrie National Forest Badin Lake Group Camp provides more secluded accommodations. A scout leader observed it was "fairly secluded, so once we got to the campground there weren't a lot of other people around."

Natural surroundings: Campers consistently rate the natural features highly. At Basecamp Outdoors, the elevated glamping experience maintains connection with nature while providing comfort. A reviewer noted it has "an awesome elevated camping experience you need to experience!"

Modern bathhouses: Several luxury glamping sites feature updated bathroom facilities. "Bathhouse is excellent. Wifi and cell signal are great. Minutes to the zoo," reported one visitor to Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Asheboro, highlighting the blend of wilderness and modern amenities.

Platform tent sites: Oak Hollow City Campground features raised tent platforms that enhance the glamping experience. "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," shared a family who enjoyed the amenities.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Most luxury glamping sites require advance booking. "I would recommend renting the 'off road' golf cart for fun," advises a visitor to Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Asheboro, indicating the need to plan ahead for equipment rentals.

Seasonal closures: Some campgrounds have limited winter operations. Morrow Mountain remains open year-round, but amenities like pools typically close after summer.

Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some glamping locations. "This campground is located right off the highway and just a couple turns through neighborhoods and you arrive at the campground," noted a visitor to Oak Hollow, highlighting the suburban setting.

Site variations: Quality of glamping sites varies significantly between areas. "Site 98 in the electric loop is for tent and pop up campers, but is not pop up camper friendly. The ground is very uneven," warns a Morrow Mountain visitor, suggesting careful research before booking.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly activities: Deep River Campground And RV Park offers dedicated family recreation areas. "2 pools (currently closed due to covid), game room, store, and private pond. Located minutes away from multiple trail heads," reports a visitor who found plenty of diversions.

Entertainment options: Bring alternative activities for rainy days. "There is a lodge with TV & pool table (we did not try either) but nice amenity for rainy days," suggests a parent who stayed at Forest Lake RV and Camping Resort.

Safety considerations: Some campgrounds offer more secure environments than others. Oak Hollow features "an electric gate with a key code" that helps monitor access to the camping area.

Proximity to attractions: Consider drive times to popular destinations when planning your luxury glamping stay. "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," shared a parent about their Jellystone Park experience.

Tips from RVers

Leveling challenges: Many glamping sites require additional equipment for comfortable setup. "Took some time leveling my rig, but turned out great. You will love this campground and is definitely worth a stop," advises an RV owner at Jellystone Park.

Hookup locations: Check the exact positioning of utilities before committing to a site. "The sewer connection was more than 40 feet from the center of the site and I only carry 30 feet of line, so we had to back way up in order to hook-up," cautions an RVer about their experience.

Site specifications: Request specific site types based on your equipment. "The sites are large enough for most RVs. Adequate space between sites, and some grass. There are a few trees around the campground but not in the RV sites," observed a reviewer at Greensboro KOA.

Wi-Fi access: Connectivity varies significantly between luxury glamping locations. "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," notes an RVer who appreciated these amenities at Jellystone Park.
