    Raccoon Holler Campground

    Perfect for Families

    Family-friendly campground with plenty of fun activities for kids. Playground, fishing pond, disc golf, recreation and game area, and ice cream trailer. Our site was nicely shaded and fairly level. Fire pit and picnic table at each site. There appears to be a lot of long-term residents but all sites were very well kept and the campground was very clean. The best part was the friendly staff!

    Midway Campground Resort

    Family-Friendly

    This is a small, family-friendly campground. There is a pond for fishing, a nice pool, a jump pad, playground, arcade, and mini-golf. Plenty for kids to do. The best feature is a haunted trail at Halloween (this gets very busy so be aware if you plan to camp around this time of year). Sites are not necessarily level and big rigs might have a hard time navigating the campground, but folks are friendly and it's a nice place to spend a few days. They do offer long-term sites if you need to stay in the area for a while.

    Kings Mountain — Kings Mountain State Park

    Overall a Good Experience

    Took the new pop-up to Kings Mountain State Park this past weekend and had a great time. The sites are pretty close together, but we still had adequate room to spread out. Each site has water, 30 amp electric, a picnic table, and a fire pit ring. Our site was a pull-through, but the majority of them are back-in. Throughout the campground, AT&T had great cell coverage, but Verizon was non-existent. Our site was a stone's throw from the bath/shower house, which was clean and recently updated. When not in the side, a short walk takes you to the Trading Post, a small store selling firewood ($7), ice, souvenirs, and sundries. Next to that is a large playground connected to a pavilion. A short 2 minute drive (or longer hike if you are feeling ambitious) takes you to the Kings Mountain Military Museum where you can learn of all things historical to Kings Mountain. There's a small model village and numerous other attractions to view while at the park as well. Overall this was a great experience. It's close to home for us, and the price was fantastic ($30 nightly). Let me know if you have any other questions!

    Doughton Park Campground — Blue Ridge Parkway

    Quiet Mountain Campground

    On the Blue Ridge Parkway, nestled in the trees and mountains of North Carolina, this campground has been well maintained. Sites are ample but the asphalt pads were designed for shorter travel trailers, but include an extra pad for the tow vehicle. Many of the sites have upgraded concrete pads for the picnic table and built-in fire pits. There are no showers in the trailer (RV) loop, but does include a couple comfort station with flush toilets. Campground hosts were helpful and friendly. Sites are split between first come first serve and reservations. Payment at kiosk by credit card only.

    Mountain River Family Campground

    Home away from Home

    We have been staying at Mtn River for about 3 years now and it’s become ‘home away from home’. You have your choice of river or mountainside sites. We prefer the river sites personally for the views & fishing. 

    The campground owners are fantastic people who’ve become friends. They live on site and take great pride in the property. The property is always impeccable. They are always working. Such a gorgeous place!! The pond is in the center of the property- yes you can fish(catch& release). 

    Areas setup with hammocks, corn hole, seating, etc. The new playground has been a big hit! Oh, and there’s also a dog park area. 

    The bathhouses are super clean and have air conditioning. The laundry room is brand new with great units and also A/C. 

    They incorporated additional activities this year over at the pavilion which our family has loved! Bingo, tie-dye t-shirts, food trucks, live music, and more! Our grandson loves to join us. Lots of kids and a great area for them to all play. 

    Tubing the river is always a fun treat! You can bring your own tubes or rent from the campground. 

    The camp store has expanded and features a mix of items- t-shirts, hats, hoodies, koozies, and more. As well as local jams, rubs, and other treats. They’re in the process of building a new office/camp store so we’re excited to see this complete. 

    We have a 40’ fifth wheel. No problems every getting in. They accommodate all size rigs. All sites have a concrete pad, fire pit and very nice large picnic table. Sites are spacious and do not feel cramped like we've experienced at other campgrounds. 

    Wi-Fi is generally pretty good. We’ve been able to work remote on some of our trips. We even had phone service our last trip(AT&T)! 

    Lots to do in the area! Hiking, Linville Winery(yum!), Linville Caverns, Grandfather Mtn and so many other great places. The office staff can certainly provide plenty of recommendations, too. 

    There are 2 grocery stores in town about 15min away. There’s also a local dollar store about 5min away. 

    We cannot say enough good things about MRFC. We’ve met some great campers there who we now call friends. We truly love this place and already have bookings for next year!

    Raccoon Holler Campground

    Nice Campground / Great Location

    I picked this campground because it was very close to Blue Ridge Parkway. My plan was to ride my motorcycle through this beautiful area of NC, but the rain didn't cooperate this trip. I camped in site 112. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. This was a last minute reservation and they had limited availability. The site is not very level and very tight for my 32 foot RV. The site had full hookups (water, sewer, 30 amp electric) that worked great. I walked most of the campground and there are some great sites. Most are wooded and reasonably spaced. Quite a few long term campers, but the rigs and sites were all very well kept. At $64 per night it is a little pricey, for site 112, but probably not for the campground and area as a whole. No grill, just a tire rim for campfires and a picnic table.

    Getting parked was a bit of a challenge to get things as level as possible and work around power stand and be able to get awning out to stay out of rain.

    I would camp here again and recommend others give it a try. Lots to do in this part of the NC mountains.

    Carowinds Camp Wilderness Resort

    convenient to Carowinds, decent campground

    Older campground lots of shade.  staff very friendly and helpful. We were really surprised with how much has been invested in Carowinds over the years by Cedar Fair that the campground has been untouched.  Bathrooms/bathhouses were very clean and seem to be the one part of the campground that has been updated.  One section of the campground has been turned into long term camping and many looked like they had been there for years.  campground was quiet other than noise from air traffic as airport is nearby but it was minor.   Campsites have decent space in between each other which is great bc the sites are small in length and you will be parking either beside the rig or sideways in front of it. We stayed in a back-in site and most back-in sites seemed rather level but pull throughs were hit or miss on that aspect.  If you are staying here to go to the park then it is very convenient and has an excellent shuttle that runs frequently and drops you off near the front gate.  Very small camp store that has most of the basics. Campground overall is clean, safe and secure but we expected a little more from theme park campground.  We live nearby and are pass holders at Carowinds so we will likely stay frequently due to the convenience.

    Doughton Park Campground — Blue Ridge Parkway

    Great, quiet campground

    Doughton Park CG: (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good (70 yr olds in 17’ trailer) Overall Rating: 4.5 Price: $10/ night w senior pass Usage during visit: low due to rain Site Privacy: some, like ours - #9, are very good Site Spacing: some sites are nicely space and some are pretty close. Site surface: Blacktop Reservations: Yes Campground Noise: Very quiet during our stay. A small group of folks, older, play music together on a regular basis. Bring your instrument and join them. One plays a lot of Gordon Lightfoot - they were friends. Low key and quiet. Very, very enjoyable.
    Road Noise: Sites 1 and 2 are close to the parkway. The rest of the sites are set far enough back that, maybe motorcycles can be heard. Right now through there is no through traffic as a nearby portion of the parkway is in the middle of a 3 year construction project. Through Traffic in campground: None Electricity: No Water: Availability at the dump station and one faucet.
    Sewer Hook up: No Dump Station: Yes Generators: Allowed Bathroom: Small and clean. Showers: No Pull Throughs: Most or all are back in.
    Cell Service (Verizon): Good from our site Setting: Deciduous forest on high ground. Weather: Unseasonably wet during our stay. 4 days of almost non-stop rain
    Bugs: None Solar: Fixed solar panels might work in sites 1 and 2. Host: Present. Rig size: There are a couple 30 to 35’ rigs here Sites: #9, our site, is one of the best sites we have had in almost 4 years of travel. The regulars call this site the “honeymoon site”, because of the heart shaped large rocks which create a lower terraced picnic area. Best sites: 9 very best, 4, 8, 7. Next best: 5,21,19. Nice but picnic area is not quite as private: 20, 18,16,14,12,11,10. All other sites along the outer side of the loop I would be happy with. The exception are sites 1 and 2. These two sites are along the parkway.


Guide to Conover

Campgrounds near Conover, North Carolina range across the foothills region with elevations between 900-1,200 feet. Summer temperatures typically reach 85-90°F while winter nights often drop below freezing. Camping options include both established rv campgrounds within 20 miles of Conover and more rustic experiences in surrounding counties.

What to do

Swimming and water activities: Lake Myers RV Resort offers two large swimming pools for families seeking summer recreation. "Many activities offered for family with 2 large pools etc," notes Gennie C., while another camper mentions the refreshing creek at Buck Creek: "There were two swimming holes along the creek, which were a ton of fun. I swam in both. The water is very clear and refreshing."

Hiking trails: The Conover region provides access to multiple trail systems. Nearby Linville Falls Campground connects to well-maintained paths. "Beautiful scenery, great hiking all around you!" reports Katie B. The Mountain to Sea Trail runs through downtown Elkin, near Riverwalk RV Park, where one visitor noted "Elkin are great trails to go hiking and the Mountain to Sea Trail runs right through downtown."

Fishing opportunities: Several campgrounds offer fishing access. At Rose Creek Retreat, campers appreciate the creek-side setting: "We loved the privacy, location, and serenity of this campground. The location was great - easy driving distance to the trails we wanted to hike and ride our mountain bikes."

What campers like

Privacy levels: Site layouts vary significantly between campgrounds. At Rose Creek Retreat, Dustin F. appreciated the "easy to pull my 26' camper in and was pretty level. Good access to 30A power/water/sewer and a serene creek just a few yards from your front door." Some campers value the more secluded options available in the area.

Campground amenities: Many facilities offer extras beyond basic camping. Cobble Hill RV Campground impressed visitors with its "lake, playground, pool and bonefires and djs on holidays. trails and fresh eggs in camp store from chickens on site. Goats and a horse also live here," according to Wendy M.

Location convenience: Proximity to attractions matters to visitors. Riverwalk RV Park earned praise for its strategic position: "The Yadkin Valley is wine county so if you want to go wine tasting there are many vineyards in the area." Another camper noted it was "just a few minutes down the road from the very quaint town of Elkin, NC."

What you should know

Seasonal operations: Availability varies throughout the year. Lake Myers RV Resort operates from April to November, while many others remain open year-round. At Thousand Trails Forest Lake, one visitor noted: "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."

Site conditions: Terrain and spacing differ between campgrounds. Some visitors find sites cramped: "The campground is packed in, not as nice as we expected but we stay in numerous places in different states so we have experiences," while others praise the layout at places like Buck Creek: "Our site was level and semi-shaded."

WiFi and connectivity: Internet quality fluctuates across the region. A camper at Buck Creek reported: "The WiFi signal was great, and speeds were reasonable," while another at Forest Lake noted: "Verizon service has 2 bars. Occasionally got a little spotty while working, but our hotspot worked enough. Streaming did get dicey."

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly activities: Some campgrounds specifically cater to children. A visitor to Lake Myers RV Resort shared: "A+ campground.. fun activities.. kid friendly.. love playing BINGO here!!" However, age appropriateness varies as another camper warned: "There was not much at all for them to do other than play in the pool... There is a play ground and game room for older kids but nothing for the smaller children to do."

Accessibility considerations: Families should research terrain before booking. At Forest Lake, facilities receive praise: "Wonderful staff, great club houses, rental carts, quiet campground. Full hook ups and great to reception," making it easier for families with mixed mobility needs.

Noise levels: Sound carries differently at various campgrounds. While some sites provide quiet environments, others can become livelier: "90% of the sites are occupied by permanent campers. The staff don't take care of the other sites at all. Ours was small and dirty. We've been for 2 nights in a row (so far) and both nights were very noisy because of two concerts."

RV tips

Size restrictions: Larger rigs require careful planning. At Cobble Hill RV Campground, experienced RVers recommend: "Full hookups (30 & 50 amp), WiFi and cable. Owners are great - so much so that our entire camping family is going to stay there the week of the wedding." However, one camper at Lake Myers warned: "This is a decent family-friendly campground but is quite difficult to navigate the roads and sites if you have a larger rig."

Road conditions: Access varies significantly between rv campgrounds near Conover, North Carolina. A visitor noted: "The roads are the worst pot holes speed bumps that are curbs!" while another mentioned: "I rode my motorcycle up Route 80 to the Blue Ridge. Route 80 is a great winding road."

Hook-up quality: Power, water and sewer reliability differ by location. At Barefoot Landing Camping Resort, Rachael A. reported a positive experience: "Very quiet, very peaceful and friendly" during her "5 nights w/ 5th wheel" stay, indicating reliable services for extended RV camping.
