From the first over the phone to the in person at the office, to even extending my stay by a day. I simply felt welcomed and wanted. Definitely would suggest! Definitely coming back!
Scout
I stayed on the “not great for kids” side. Camp host said the other part of the park was better for families and had easier trail inclines. I loved my spot. It was quieter than I expected given how close the camp sites were to each other.
GuideBeen eating mules on the interstate. This place beats the heck out of a Cracker Barrel. Called a couple of hours out. Got a primo site ( B-13) 30 amp. Full hookups This site is level. Note there is no late checking after 7:30 pm. Stormy night coming. Safe and sound here
Traveler
Best campground I’ve stayed at on a bike. Very welcoming, quiet and peaceful. Few small town stores about a mile away including gas. Nice bath houses with shower. We had a fire every night and good conversation. Great stop, 10/10 I will make a point to be back!
Traveler
I was there alone and had the whole campsite to myself. The camp host was so kind. He always made sure me, my horses and my grandson were comfortable and safe!
Scout
This place was the first place we stopped along our trip to test out the new camper we just purchased, and this place was so wonderful and fun. We played mini golf, had a view of the lake, and enjoyed a great campfire on our little porch they provided. We truly had so much fun even though we only stayed one night! Can’t wait to come back.
Traveler
My family planned a trip here, including our camper and 2 others. (3 sites total). Our camper needed work done and due to an unexpected sudden death in the family, taking the camper to be worked on 2 weeks prior to our planned visit was our only option. We called and explained the situation we were in and was spoken to VERY rudely. And was not able to get any of our money back. If there’s a possibility that you may have an unplanned death in the family that may complicate your trip, don’t book with them! We will NEVER plan another trip here!!
ScoutImpressive small campground with clean and well appointed sites. The elevated fire pits are level and easy to use for cooking or just a campfire. Bathrooms are clean and functional. Personal highlights was the view in late fall and the close proximity to the hiking trails up Pilot Mtn. Tent pad was level and large. Good bouldering and climbing Parking at Sites 23,25,26 is pretty level for a truck or camper van
Traveler
We love coming to Lake Reidsville. We have tent camped many times there and now have been with a camper. It was peaceful and the view is always amazing.
Traveler
We loved our stay.
Traveler
I am staying here for two weeks because I have a membership and because I am WFM and it enables me to travel.
I heard mixed reviews about this campground but since I had a 1000 Trails membership, I figured it was worth checking out.
It was a beautiful drive from Virginia and though we arrived in early evening, the Rangers were very nice and helped us get checked in.
The sight was a little uneven and took a bit to level but it is surrounded by trees and very quiet. Most of the yẹar round resident had some kind of Halloween decoration up so the park looked great. They even had a little haunted house set up for the kids.
All in all, this is a very pleasant campground and makes the membership worth it. It's quiet, it's pretty, and you are right between Lexington and Winston Salem. I'm looking forward to coming back over Christmas.
Scout
Nice and clean area as far as tent camping, beautiful area all and all. Would return for sure.
GuideThe first time we went was years ago, and we were in a tent. Had a good time, this time was fun as well. They are very helpful here, we will be back again:)
ScoutPros, It’s a beautiful place. Easy access to car, good space for tents. Flat tent pads, great shade, super clean facilities. The host is absolutely amazing. Great.
Cons, not great around our fire pit, you can’t really sit around the fire pit because it’s not leveled, chars just fall. Not great if you don’t get a level spot if you have small children. It’s very rocky and small children will fall often. Not fun as a parent. A big con if you absolutely cannot deal with spiders. Ok. So this one might be a bit dramatic to some, however, if you don’t love bugs, be warned that there are hundreds of daddy long legs, just so so so many. And they get everywhere. We don’t mind bugs. We understand camping in tents will be bug heaven. We just didn’t expect to see hundreds. You have been warned. Site 14

Jake from the Dyrt here! Basecamp_Outdoors has an awesome elevated camping experience you need to experience! Check them out and share some pics of your stay!
LegendNice campground, no electric or water at the sites. Rocky, shaded sites, with nice bathrooms and showers.
Only stayed for one night, but will come back here when I have some more time.

We have been happy members of Thousand Trails for several years and have created several friend groups of whom I hope would verify my claim as accurate. My husband, Paul(OP), has always had the heart of a servant and has helped many throughout Lake Myers and Forest Lake. He enjoys playing cork hole and building campfires. We have so many wonderful friends at the campgrounds that we hang out with even when we don’t have our camper in. It has always been a source of stress relief and relaxation for us. We have never been ones to instigate gossip or spread it. We sit quietly to ourselves or with friends, play corn hole and enjoy the fire, food& friendships. Our dog LOVES to exercise on the golf cart trails! Last YEAR, one of the teen boys that lives in the campground full time came to our site and invited our 16 y/o(at the time) son to join him and a gang of other kids that found a villa unlocked. The private investigator we hired found out that the number of kids involved goes into the double digits. We advised Susan, the manager, of the identity of as many involved as we could. Our son was not involved in the actual damage and nothing further was said to us by Susan or any other representative of Lake Myers, Thousand Trails or Encore. Charges were attempted against our son alone, but when our attorney advised that all kids involved or none(some parents had already paid restitution… I offered but was not responded to) were to be charged then charges were dropped. We have been camping every 2 weeks in and one week out at Forest Lake with no problems at all until recently when my husband couldn’t get logged into our account to make his payment. I tried as well and couldn’t get logged in. Turns out that our entire national membership has been canceled by the Lake Myers manager with the reasoning of“unsupervised child”. That is totally falsified. How many of you see Mon or Dad following their older kids around? Our son had never cause any trouble. Funny, the kid that lives there who coaxed our son to the villas still lives there on site because his mom works for a prominent attorney that I guess Lake Myers is afraid of.(Well, mine is good too!) Ban our son from Lake Myers? Fine… but ban all the ones involved, don’t do it out of retaliation against us because you lack evidence. Want to ban our whole innocent family from Lake Myers? Fine… but ban all the families of those involved. If your going to accept money of one mom to let her stay because she works for an attorney, then the offer needs to be given to all. But why cancel our whole family national membership? THAT is excessive and we will be filing a lawsuit if it’s not fixed asap. We just bought a brand spanking new camper, new golf cart, paid membership fees(I want refunded if our membership is not going to be honored due to a dishonorable and unethical manager with no factual evidence and can apparently be paid off). Seriously! Existing campers can’t complain publicly about anything at the campground without the fear of their memberships being terminated for it. This is morally wrong. I have contacted membership services just to be told they can’t do anything. I call BS. This needs a fair resolution immediately.
TravelerWe had a good experience overall at this campground. The people were friendly and the staff was accommodating. Definitely not the campground to book if you are looking to enjoy the surroundings/scenery as things are very packed in. Close enough to Winston-Salem to do day trips though.
ScoutThis was a nice, standard campground with a trail to the top of the mountain right in the campground loop. Bathrooms could use a good scrub, and the water took a good 5+ minutes to heat up. Overall a nice weekend trip location.
Guide
Spent a month here. Had a nice end spot that allowed for a sneak peak of the mountains. Nicely laid out in levels that were nice. Great location for checking out the area too. Wifi worked fine. As did the cable.
ScoutLove the putt putt and kids playground area.
GuideThis campground is probably 90% big rigs. It’s a huge campground with 2 lakes, playground, RV store and shelter houses. There is only one shower house with one shower and two toilets on each side. Pet friendly on leash. Close to Mount Airy for those over 60 who want a trip down Memory Lane.
TravelerCampground was nice, staff was helpful.
Site was level. Wifi was decent.
Only complaints it was near interstate traffic. The noise didn't keep us up at so it was tolerable. I was in site 95. Sites in other sections may have better.
Also there was only trash cans in the front of the park near the office. This made it inconvenient picking up after my dogs.
GuideGreat campground that seems to be expanding and Improving. Bathrooms are excellent. Wifi and cell signal are great. Minutes to the zoo.
ScoutWe stayed for 9 nights and really enjoyed it at Oak Hollow. The campground is well maintained and several areas of the campground have beautiful views of the lake. Definitely will be back! Sites do require some leveling so just be prepared for that. But they clearly state this when you make a reservation.
GuideAbsolutely had a blast and met another great family here! Me and my kids camp via Tent there. Amenities available were: General Store, Pool, Gaga Ball, Bouncing Pillow, Bath House by the pool, fishing pond laser tag, and a bunch of activities. They were building a big play ground when we were leaving. We were 15 mins from the zoo which was amazing. Your close to stores and restaurants if you want but far enough out that it doesn’t feel close.
LegendAfter freezing the night before, we decided we needed to get to a lower elevation and warm up. As soon as we had enough cell to check The Dyrt, we found this campground and called to inquire about one-night availability on a Wednesday in later October. Amanda was very friendly and accommodating and we secured a water site with water and electric for $28.
Different sites accommodate different length rigs ranging from 25’ to 40’. All sites have electric hookups, and some have sewer hookups as well. Since we arrived after the store closed, we paid the next morning.
The bathrooms/showers were clean. Didn’t use the shower so cannot comment on that. Sink faucets only had cold water but there was a diaper changing station and paper towels.
As far as activities, there is Disc golf, fishing, and boating. Boat rentals are available through the end of October, but it was a bit too chilly to consider doing this! There is a playground and a small zip line. There are also some hiking trails, but we did not explore them. There is a small camp store. There was surprisingly limited cell on Verizon.
The most desirable sites would be along the water (sites 31, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 43), but I would imagine that on a summer weekend, these would be challenging to secure. Second best would be the wooded sites (10, 19, 20). Least desirable would be the sites in the internal loops as these have little to no privacy. Note that site 44 is right next to the dump station. There are also some monthly rental sites.
This worked well for an overnight stay as we continued on down the road.
