What to do
Trail access: At Riverwalk RV Park, a green belt trail runs beside the campground along the Yadkin River. "Great trail to go for a jog take your dog for a walk or just to take a stroll along the River. In the summer if you are into kayaking there is a local kayak outdoor adventure place five minutes down the road," noted a visitor.
Mountain hiking: Pilot Mountain State Park is accessible from nearby camping areas. A camper at Greystone RV Park mentioned, "Next time I want to have time to hike the mountain, but for this trip, just relaxing and watching nature was worth every breath."
Wine tasting: The Yadkin Valley wine region surrounds Danbury with numerous vineyards. "The Yadkin Valley is wine county so if you want to go wine tasting there are many vineyards in the area," reports one Riverwalk RV Park visitor.
Disc golf: Chantilly Farm RV/Tent Campground offers a 9-hole disc golf course on-site. "They have a nice little camp store in case you forget anything. Frisbee golf and cornhole is available too!" shares one camper.

What you should know
Seasonal operations: Several campgrounds have limited winter services. A camper at Forest Lake noted, "Unfortunately a lot of the activity type things (arcade, mini-golf, horseshoes, etc.) weren't available because we visited in the off season."
Cell coverage: Signal strength varies considerably at campgrounds throughout the region. One camper at Forest Lake reported, "Verizon service has 2 bars. Occasionally got a little spotty while working, but our hotspot worked enough. Streaming did get dicey."
Bathroom facilities: Bathhouse availability differs between locations. "Bathhouse is the nicest one I've encountered with a very homey living room like entry, very nice, private bathrooms with showers, and a laundry room," reports a visitor to Indian Heritage RV Park.
Road conditions: Access to some campsites requires careful driving. "Getting there was quite a journey over narrow curvy roads but once there it was a nice area," noted a camper at Chantilly Farm.
Tips for camping with families
Activity options: Forest Lake RV Resort offers numerous amenities for children. "2 swimming pools, camp store, snack bar, fishing pond (I caught 2 sunfishes in 30 min & I'm no fisherman) basketball court, mini golf, & playground equipment," lists one visitor.
Age considerations: Some campgrounds better suit specific age groups. One Lake Myers visitor advised, "The staff is wonderfully nice and helpful. We took our three boys (all under 5) for the weekend. There was not much at all for them to do other than play in the pool... If it was just adults going, or even older children maybe 7 and up it would be a great location."
Recreational equipment: Many campgrounds rent or provide recreational equipment. "We also rented a canoe and had fun canoeing around the pond/lake," shared a family staying at Forest Lake in a cabin.
Social opportunities: Forest Lake provides chances for kids to socialize. One parent simply noted, "Lots of kids that play together well."
Tips from RVers
Site dimensions: Black Dog Acres RV Park offers spacious sites for larger rigs. "Super easy pull through sites with convenient hookups. Every body was super nice and friendly," reports a recent visitor.
Leveling needs: Many campsites in the region require minimal adjustments. "The sites are full hookup with most being spacious... Pull thru sites with concrete pads. No leveling needed. Couldn't be easier to pull in and set up," shares a camper at Greystone RV Park.
Electrical options: Most RV parks provide 30-amp and 50-amp service, but availability varies by location. A visitor to Indian Heritage RV Park reported, "We spent 4 nights here nice campsite but close together. Good power, water and nice and quite."
Weather protection: Winter visitors should prepare for freezing temperatures. One camper noted, "We arrived late around 7pm and it was getting dark, our lovely Host was very kind and showed our site - It also had heated water hose so that was a big bonus."
